Chicago, IL 60608
 
February 4, 2008

Post Properties, Inc.
Attn: Board of Directors and Corporate Secretary
4401 Northside Parkway, Suite 800
Atlanta, Georgia 30327
Attn: Secretary
 
Dear Members of the Board and Secretary:
 
     As we have discussed previously, Pentwater Capital Management LP is a money management firm based in Chicago and through the Pentwater Growth Fund Ltd. (collectively, “
Pentwater ” or “we ”) is a record and beneficial owner of Post Properties, Inc. (“Post ”). We are writing to you today to put forward our nominations for Post’s Board of Directors (the “Board ”).
 
     Pentwater does not take this action lightly. As we have previously communicated, we believe that the Board has failed the shareholders in several respects. We believe that the Board committed errors when it failed to respond to a widely publicized offer to purchase the company in the spring of last year. We believe that the Board committed errors by investing in condo conversion projects at the peak of the real estate cycle. We believe that the Board has failed to take actions to grow FFO over the past five years consistent with the rest of the industry. And we believe that it would be a serious error if the Board pursued a path of selling individual properties or putting individual properties into joint ventures.
 
     Pentwater has consistently felt that there is value inherent in Post well beyond what was implied by the public markets. We believe that this value is appreciated by at least the one bidding group that has offered between $44 and $47 per share for Post. Pentwater believes that the Board is pursuing the correct course of action in conducting an auction for Post and strongly encourages Post not to pursue any process to sell individual properties or form joint ventures.
 

Accordingly, pursuant to Article I, Section 7(b) of Post’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws ”), Pentwater Growth Fund Ltd. hereby notifies Post that we intend to appear in person or by proxy to nominate (and do hereby nominate) the following persons for election as directors at Post’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders:

          Robert G. Goldstein
          Stephen R. Gross
          Steven D. Scheiwe
          John Turner White, IV

          Lori Jones Whitted


Annex A hereto sets forth information concerning each such nominee that is required to be included in this notice pursuant to Article I, Section 7(b) of the Bylaws, including copies of each nominee’s consent to nomination and agreement to serve if elected. No nominee has any affiliation with or material interest in Post or any transaction involving Post or any affiliation with or material interest in any person or entity having an interest materially adverse to Post.
 
Each of our nominees has entered into an indemnification agreement with Pentwater Capital Management LP pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify such nominee for claims related to any event or occurrence relating to, or directly or indirectly arising out of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken, in connection with the election of directors at Post’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
 
We are the beneficial owner of approximately 2,013,888 shares of Post’s common stock. The shares are held on Post’s books in the name of Post Growth Fund Ltd. and under three broker accounts: (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc.; (ii) DB Securities Service NJ Inc.; and (iii) Goldman, Sachs & Co. Accordingly, we hereby represent that we are the beneficial holder of shares of Post’s common stock entitled to vote at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and that we intend to appear in person or by proxy the meeting to nominate the person named in this notice. Attached hereto as Annex B are certifications from our brokers certifying our beneficial ownership as well as other information regarding our ownership and interests.
 
Our understanding is that the Board of Directors has fixed the number of Directors at nine. We reserve the right to increase the number of nominees we propose in the event that the number of Directors should be increased to a number greater than nine.
We also reserve the right to substitute an additional nominee for any of the foregoing nominees in the event that any of the foregoing nominees are unable to stand for election for any reason.
 
If any further information is required concerning any of our nominees, please do not hesitate to contact us.
