including, without limitation, the statements made concerning the Company&#146;s intent to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those focused upon anticipated events or
trends, expectations, and beliefs relating to matters that are not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to the Company&#146;s operations and business environment, all of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Among others, the following uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: (i)&nbsp;the risk
that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be consummated in a timely manner, if at all; (ii)&nbsp;the risk that the definitive Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require the Company to pay Parkway a
termination fee; (iii)&nbsp;risks related to the diversion of management&#146;s attention from the Company&#146;s ongoing business operations; (iv)&nbsp;the effect of the announcement of the entry into the Merger Agreement on the Company&#146;s
business relationships (including, without limitation, tenants, joint venture partners, lenders and service providers), operating results and business generally; and (vi)&nbsp;risks related to obtaining the requisite consents to the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the timing (including possible delays) and receipt of regulatory approvals from various governmental entities (including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these
approvals) and the risk that one or more governmental entities may deny approval. Further risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements are set forth under

Joint Press Release issued by Parkway Properties, Inc. and Thomas Properties Group, Inc. on September 5, 2013
Forward-Looking Information
This Current Report on Form 8-K, including exhibits hereto, is made in reliance upon the safe harbor of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including, without limitation, the statements made concerning the Company's intent to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those focused upon anticipated events or
trends, expectations, and beliefs relating to matters that are not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to the Company's operations and business environment, all of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Among others, the following uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: (i) the risk
that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be consummated in a timely manner, if at all; (ii) the risk that the definitive Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require the Company to pay Parkway a
termination fee; (iii) risks related to the diversion of management's attention from the Company's ongoing business operations; (iv) the effect of the announcement of the entry into the Merger Agreement on the Company's
business relationships (including, without limitation, tenants, joint venture partners, lenders and service providers), operating results and business generally; and (vi) risks related to obtaining the requisite consents to the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the timing (including possible delays) and receipt of regulatory approvals from various governmental entities (including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these
approvals) and the risk that one or more governmental entities may deny approval. Further risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements are set forth under
"Risk Factors" in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, and its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake, and hereby disclaims, any duty to update these
forward-looking statements, although its situation and circumstances may change in the future.
