Mack-Cali Announces $365.5 Million In Property Disposition Agreements During First Quarter (3/15/16)

EDISON, N.J., March 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today announced that during the first quarter of this year the Company has reached agreements to sell assets in Washington, D.C. and Manhattan for approximately $365.5 million. The sales are part of the $750 million goal for dispositions outlined last year in the Company's strategic plan and represent the Company's exit out of these markets. Mack-Cali is exiting non-core markets in order to pay down debt, fund capital expenditures, and increase holdings in waterfront and transit-based locations, if available, as well as renovate and reposition existing assets.

"These deals bring us halfway to our goal of $750 million in dispositions. We are proud to have made this much progress so early in the year," said Michael J. DeMarco, Mack-Cali president. "With these sales the Company is well positioned to push ahead with our strategic plan and ultimately to return significant value for our investors."

The disposition agreements consist of:

• 125 Broad Street, New York, N.Y.: Mack-Cali signed a contract to sell the Company's ownership in the building for approximately $202 million.

• 1201 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.: The Company signed a contract to sell the building for approximately $93 million.

• 1400 L Street, NW, Washington, D.C.: Mack-Cali signed an agreement to sell this property for approximately $70.5 million.

These dispositions are not yet finalized, subject to closing conditions and covenants; however, the Company expects $400 million in total sales to close by June 2016, while an additional $350 million in sales are expected to be completed by October 2016.
