Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
     On June 14, 2006, the Liberty Property Limited Partnership issued 684,432 Units of Limited Partnership Interest (the “Units”). The Units were valued at an aggregate of $30,000,000. The Units were sold to three accredited investors in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of a property. The Units are convertible on a one-for-one basis into the Common Shares of Beneficial Interest of Liberty Property Trust (the “Common Shares”). The holders of the Units have certain rights to cause Liberty Property Trust to register the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such units pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with this private placement.
