In early July 2012, the Company issued 451,300 shares of Common Stock from sales in the second quarter of 2012 under our equity sales agreements at an average gross sales price of $33.52 per share raising net proceeds, after sales commissions and expenses, of $14.9 million.

On July 13, 2012, we acquired two medical office properties in Greensboro, NC for $16.4 million. The transaction included the issuance of approximately 77,000 Common Units. We expect to expense approximately $0.1 million of costs related to this acquisition.

On July 13, 2012, we sold five non-core office buildings in Nashville, TN for $41.0 million. We expect to record gain on disposition of discontinued operations of $6.8 million related to this disposition.

On July 25, 2012, we sold three GSA-leased buildings in Jackson, MS and Atlanta, GA for $86.5 million. We expect to record gain on disposition of discontinued operations of $14.0 million related to this disposition.
