Explanation of Responses:
1. 731,343 shares of the Issuer's common stock were issued in exchange for 731,343 units of limited partnership ("OP Units") in Maguire Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, of which the Issuer is the general partner.
2. The OP Units are redeemable effective August 27, 2004 for cash or, at the election of the general partner, for shares of the Issuer's common stock. The value of the OP Units redeemed is based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Issuer's common stock on the date of redemption. The fair market value is based on the closing price of the common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.
3. OP Units are redeemable for cash or, at the Issuer's option, on a one-for-one basis into the Issuer's common stock.
4. Not applicable.
5. OP Units were received in exchange for the direct or indirect contribution to Maguire Properties, L.P. of certain partnership, membership or ownership interests in certain partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations which own, directly or indirectly, certain properties in Southern California. The value of the OP Units is $19.00 per unit, based on the price of the Issuer's common stock at the time of its initial public offering on June 25, 2003.
