                        THERE IS STILL TIME TO VOTE NO TO
                      ENSURE YOUR PROMISED SHARE LIQUIDITY

To our fellow Piedmont stockholders, banks, brokers and financial advisors:

      As you know, at the annual meeting of stockholders of Piedmont Office
Realty Trust, Inc. ("Piedmont"), scheduled for December 13, 2007, you and your
clients are being asked to vote on three items, one of which would extend the
date on which Piedmont's common shares are to be listed on any national exchange
for up to three years. By now you know that we are opposed to this proposal
primarily because the listing of the shares would create immediate liquidity for
stockholders rather the perpetuating three more years of illiquidity. Management
has tried to confuse this issue by raising the current credit market
uncertainties as well as stating that a market value is not reflective of
underlying asset value.

      As we have advised in prior correspondence:

            o     Credit markets and stock market turbulence as well as
                  underlying net asset value is entirely irrelevant to this
                  issue since no stockholder is required to sell their shares
                  upon a listing.
            o     A listing creates liquidity which enables the stockholders to
                  decide when to buy or sell shares, not when Piedmont's
                  management permits. The share redemption plan only provides
                  very limited liquidity as it is limited in the number of
                  shares that can be redeemed and restricts who can elect to
                  have their shares redeemed.
            o     A listing enables all stockholders who desire to sell their
                  shares to do so without any restrictions, whereas the share
                  redemption plan favors living stockholders over estate
                  stockholders.
            o     A listing permits the market to set the per share price, not
                  management. The share redemption plan sets the per share price
                  at the amount paid by the stockholder less any capital
                  distributions (presently an amount that does not exceed $8.38,
                  and which is $0.92 less than the $9.30 tender price we offered
                  and which management recommended against accepting).
            o     The share redemption plan pits selling stockholders against
                  non-selling stockholders. If the value of Piedmont's assets
                  have appreciated, the redeeming stockholder loses and the
                  non-redeeming stockholders benefit. Conversely, if the value
                  of Piedmont's assets have depreciated, the redeeming
                  stockholder benefits and all of the non-redeeming stockholders
                  lose.

      We understand that a number of you feel a certain loyalty to existing
management. We are not asking you to be disloyal but only request that they be



required live up to their original promises to you and your clients. Vote No to
ensure that you will have the right to sell your Piedmont shares when you want
to and at the price you want, not when management allows it and at a price that
does not enable you to share in any appreciation in value of Piedmont's
property.

      We thank you for your careful consideration of this most important matter.
