  <div><br>
  </div>
  
  <div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">On October 31, 2012, Parkway 550 South Caldwell, LLC (the "Buyer"), an affiliate of Parkway Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with 550 South Caldwell Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Seller"), to acquire NASCAR Plaza, a 390,000 square foot office tower located in the central business district of Charlotte, North Carolina. &#160;The Seller is not affiliated with the Company or its advisors. &#160;The Purchase and Sale Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Seller and is subject to customary closing conditions as well as the Buyer's assumption of the in-place first mortgage secured by the property, which has a current outstanding balance of approximately $42.3 million, a fixed interest rate of 4.7% and a maturity date of March 30, 2016. &#160;Closing is expected to occur by the end of the fourth quarter 2012. &#160;Until the closing of the purchase of the property, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire the property.</div>
  
  <div><br>
  </div>
  
  <div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The contract purchase price of the property is $99.9 million, subject to customary closing date adjustments and exclusive of closing costs. &#160;In connection with the acquisition of the property, the Company deposited $7.5 million in escrow. &#160;Such deposit will be credited towards the purchase of the property at closing. &#160;The Company intends to fund the purchase price with the assumption of the in-place first mortgage combined with borrowings from its revolving credit facility.</div>
  
  <div><br>
  </div>
  
  <div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The Purchase and Sale Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference, and the foregoing summary of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.</div>

  <div><br>
  </div>
  
  <div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Certain statements in this document that are not in the present or past tense or that discuss the Company's expectations (including any use of the words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "guidance," "intend," "may," "might," "project", "should" or similar expressions) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and as such are based upon the Company's current beliefs as to the outcome and timing of future events. There can be no assurance that actual future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by the Company. &#160;Examples of forward-looking statements include projected net operating income, cap rates, internal rates of return, future dividend payment rates, forecasts of FFO accretion, projected capital improvements, expected sources of financing, expectations as to the timing of closing of acquisitions, dispositions and other potential transactions and descriptions relating to these expectations. &#160;These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the Company) and are subject to change based upon various factors, including but not limited to the following risks and uncertainties: changes in the real estate industry and in performance of the financial markets; the demand for and market acceptance of the Company's properties for rental purposes; the ability of the Company to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms; the amount and growth of the Company's expenses; tenant financial difficulties and general economic conditions, including interest rates, as well as economic conditions in those areas where the Company owns properties; risks associated with joint venture partners; risks associated with the ownership and development of real property; termination of property management contracts; the bankruptcy or insolvency of companies for which Parkway provides property management services or the sale of these properties; the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the Company; the ability to satisfy conditions necessary to close pending transactions and the ability to successfully integrate pending transactions; applicable regulatory changes; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and financial results could differ materially from those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. &#160;New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict the occurrence of those matters or the manner in which they may affect us. &#160;The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as may be required by law.</div>

  ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
  On October 31, 2012, Parkway 550 South Caldwell, LLC (the "Buyer"), an affiliate of Parkway Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with 550 South Caldwell Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Seller"), to acquire NASCAR Plaza, a 390,000 square foot office tower located in the central business district of Charlotte, North Carolina.  The Seller is not affiliated with the Company or its advisors.  The Purchase and Sale Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Seller and is subject to customary closing conditions as well as the Buyer's assumption of the in-place first mortgage secured by the property, which has a current outstanding balance of approximately $42.3 million, a fixed interest rate of 4.7% and a maturity date of March 30, 2016.  Closing is expected to occur by the end of the fourth quarter 2012.  Until the closing of the purchase of the property, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire the property.
  The contract purchase price of the property is $99.9 million, subject to customary closing date adjustments and exclusive of closing costs.  In connection with the acquisition of the property, the Company deposited $7.5 million in escrow.  Such deposit will be credited towards the purchase of the property at closing.  The Company intends to fund the purchase price with the assumption of the in-place first mortgage combined with borrowings from its revolving credit facility.
  The Purchase and Sale Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference, and the foregoing summary of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
  CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
  Certain statements in this document that are not in the present or past tense or that discuss the Company's expectations (including any use of the words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "guidance," "intend," "may," "might," "project", "should" or similar expressions) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and as such are based upon the Company's current beliefs as to the outcome and timing of future events. There can be no assurance that actual future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by the Company.  Examples of forward-looking statements include projected net operating income, cap rates, internal rates of return, future dividend payment rates, forecasts of FFO accretion, projected capital improvements, expected sources of financing, expectations as to the timing of closing of acquisitions, dispositions and other potential transactions and descriptions relating to these expectations.  These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the Company) and are subject to change based upon various factors, including but not limited to the following risks and uncertainties: changes in the real estate industry and in performance of the financial markets; the demand for and market acceptance of the Company's properties for rental purposes; the ability of the Company to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms; the amount and growth of the Company's expenses; tenant financial difficulties and general economic conditions, including interest rates, as well as economic conditions in those areas where the Company owns properties; risks associated with joint venture partners; risks associated with the ownership and development of real property; termination of property management contracts; the bankruptcy or insolvency of companies for which Parkway provides property management services or the sale of these properties; the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the Company; the ability to satisfy conditions necessary to close pending transactions and the ability to successfully integrate pending transactions; applicable regulatory changes; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and financial results could differ materially from those expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made.  New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict the occurrence of those matters or the manner in which they may affect us.  The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as may be required by law.
