TENDER OFFER

This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates to the offer (the “Offer”) by: MPF DeWaay Fund 8, LLC; MPF BADGER ACQUISITION CO., LLC; LAPIS OPPORTUNITIES FUND II, LP; RED INVESTMENTS, LP; MPF DEWAAY PREMIER FUND 4, LLC; MPF FLAGSHIP FUND 9, LLC; MPF SPECIAL FUND 9, LLC; MPF FLAGSHIP FUND 12, LLC; SCM Special Fund 2, LP (collectively the “Purchasers”) to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Class A or Class B (B-1, B-2, or B-3) common stock (the “Shares”)  in Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Corporation”), the subject company, at a purchase price equal to $10 per Share, less the amount of any dividends declared or made with respect to the Shares between February 8, 2010 (the “Offer Date”) and March 9, 2010, or such other date to which this Offer may be extended (the “Expiration Date”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 8, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Assignment Form, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively.  As noted above, the Offer price would be subject to reduction for dividends made or declared prior to the Expiration Date. According to the Form S-11 filing on November 27, 2009, as amended January 28, 2010, outstanding common stock was converted into four separate classes of shares – Class A, Class B-1, Class B-2, and Class B-3 – on a 3 for 1 basis.  This Offer is for any Class of Shares. Any dividends made or declared after the Expiration Date, by the terms of the Offer and as set forth in the Assignment Form, would be assigned by tendering Shareholders to the Purchasers.  MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, LP is named as a bidder herein because it is deemed to control the Purchasers, but is otherwise not participating in the offer described in this schedule.

In the event of a price reduction resulting from a Corporation dividend declared or made after the Offer Date and before the Expiration Date, as described above, the Purchasers will file an amendment to this Schedule TO reflecting such reduction and will, to the extent necessary, extend the Expiration Date to assure there is a minimum ten business day period following the amendment before the Offer expires.

Tender of Shares will include the tender of any and all securities into which the Shares may be converted and any securities distributed with respect to the Shares from and after the Offer Date.

The Corporation had 103,000 holders of record owning an aggregate of 158,020,305 Shares as of December 31, 2009, according to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and Form S-11/A filing from January 28, 2010, respectively.  The Purchasers and their affiliates currently beneficially own 454,347 Shares (equally divided among the Classes), or 0.29% of the outstanding Shares.  The 500,000 Shares subject to the Offer constitute 0.32% of the outstanding Shares.  Consummation of the Offer, if all Shares sought are tendered, would require payment by the Purchasers of up to $5,000,000 in aggregate purchase price, which the Purchasers intend to fund out of their current working capital, unrestricted lines of credit, and binding capital commitments.

The address of the Corporation’s principal executive offices is 11695 Johns Creek Parkway, Ste. 350, Johns Creek, Georgia 30097, and its phone number is (770) 418-8800.

The information in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in response to all the items of this Statement.
