Item 7.01.                      Regulation FD Disclosure

The Board of Directors of Parkway Properties, Inc. previously designated the Audit Committee (the "Committee") to provide an independent review and evaluation of the allegations made in a shareholder demand letter dated July 15, 2010, by Parkway's former Chief Financial Officer, J. Mitchell Collins, as well as the allegations in the Amended Complaint filed by Mr. Collins in the Circuit Court of Hinds County, Mississippi.

The Committee consists of four independent Directors, two of which joined Parkway's Board of Directors after Mr. Collins' employment terminated.  The Committee engaged Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. ("Fulbright") as outside legal counsel to assist with the process.  Fulbright is a full-service international law firm with extensive experience in such matters and had never been retained by Parkway prior to this engagement.  Fulbright also retained Navigant Consulting (PI) LLC to provide forensic accounting assistance.

After thoroughly investigating the allegations in good faith and fully informing itself of all material facts relevant thereto, the Committee believes that the Company did not operate in a fraudulent or misleading manner regarding either the termination of Mr. Collins or the disclosure of the Company's 2010 earnings guidance.  Further, the Committee has determined that it would not serve the interests of Parkway or its shareholders for the Company to take any of the further actions requested in the demand letter.

A copy of Fulbright's letter, on behalf of the Committee and dated December 21, 2010, to counsel for Mr. Collins is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.  The information set forth in Items 7.01 and 9.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of Parkway Properties, Inc., whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
