Safe Harbor Agreement
Certain matters discussed within this annual report are forward-looking statements with the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although Equity Office believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurances that these expectations will be realized. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include changes of a macroeconomic nature, including changes in the economic conditions affecting industries in which Equity Office's principal tenants compete, the ability to timely lease or re-lease square footage at current or anticipated rents, the ability to achieve economies of scale over time, the demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords, changes in interest rates, changes in operating costs, future demand for Equity Office’s debt and equity securities, the ability to complete current and future development projects on time and on schedule, and other factors described in the Company's filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
