  Other Events
  On September 22, 2014, Parkway Properties, Inc. (the "Company") and Parkway Properties LP, the Company's operating partnership ("Parkway LP"), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule A thereto (the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer and sell 10,000,000 of its shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") at a price to the public of $18.60 per share of Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. The estimated net proceeds from this offering were approximately $178.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering costs payable by the Company.  The Company and Parkway LP made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and Parkway LP and the registration statement in the Underwriting Agreement and also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
  The Company intends to contribute the net proceeds from this offering to Parkway LP. Parkway LP intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price of a previously announced portfolio of 22 properties located in six states and aggregating approximately 3.1 million net leasable square feet and, if such acquisition is not completed, to repay amounts outstanding from time to time under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, and/or for general corporate purposes, including to fund other potential acquisitions.
