* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Although not a derivative security, Mr. Lubar was granted 6,569 long term incentive plan units ("LTIP units") on February 26, 2009, pursuant to the Cogdell Spencer Inc. (the "Company") 2005 long-term stock incentive plan. All of the 6,569 vested upon issuance. LTIP units may be convertible into limited partnership units ("OP units") in Cogdell Spencer LP (the "Operating Partnership") if there is an increase in the value of the Operating Partnership's assets, which revaluation will occur upon the occurrence of certain events (each a "Book-up Event"). LTIP units are convertible into OP units in the Operating Partnership on a one for one basis.
(2) OP units are redeemable for a cash amount equal to the value of OP units or, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, exchangeable for shares of the Company's common stock based on an exchange ratio of one share of common stock for one OP unit.
(3) Comprised of 6,569 vested LTIP units. Some or all of the 6,569 vested LTIP units may in the future be converted into OP units, thereby increasing the number of OP units owned by Mr. Lubar by the corresponding number of LTIP units converted into OP units.
(4) Comprised of 1,784,074 OP units.
(5) Mr. Lubar is the President and Director of Lubar & Co., which is the manager of Lubar Capital LLC and holds a pecuniary interest therein.
