<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Prime Group Realty Trust (the &#147;Company&#148;) announced today that the Company&#146;s Board of Trustees
determined not to declare a quarterly distribution on its Series&nbsp;B Preferred Shares for the first
quarter of 2009, and that the Board is unable to determine when the Company might recommence
distributions on the Series&nbsp;B Preferred Shares. The Board is also in the process of considering
various financing and other capitalization alternatives for the Company.

suspension of the Series&nbsp;B Preferred distributions periodically based on the Board&#146;s ongoing review
of the Company&#146;s financial results, capital resources and liquidity needs, and the condition of the
economy and capital markets. The Company can give no assurances that distributions on the
Company&#146;s Series&nbsp;B Preferred Shares will be resumed, or that any financing or other capitalization
alternatives will be satisfactorily concluded.
