(f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.
 
Item 3.                      Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The recent acquisitions of securities by the Reporting Person have been as a result of grants to him as an employee under the Issuer’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which have included both options to purchase the Issuer's common stock and Long Term Incentive Plan Units of Douglas Emmett Properties, LP, of which the Issuer is the general partner.

The Reporting Person reserves the right, consistent with applicable law, to acquire (whether through open market purchases, block trades, private acquisitions, exercises of options, conversion of securities of Douglas Emmett Properties, LP or otherwise) and/or to dispose of securities of the Issuer, in each case in light of the Reporting Person’s continued evaluation of Issuer market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Person.
