NYSE: PDM

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with local management offices in each of our markets, Piedmont values operational excellence and is a leading participant among REITs based on the number of buildings owned and managed with Building Owners and Managers Association ("BOMA") 360 designations. BOMA 360 is a program that evaluates a building's operations and management and benchmarks its performance against industry standards. As of December 31, 2025, projects representing approximately 99% of our in-service portfolio (based on square footage) had achieved such a designation, recognizing excellence in building operations and management and counting us among the top ten companies nationwide with the most BOMA360 certified buildings. Our focus on operational excellence, fostering long-term relationships with our high-credit quality, diverse tenant base, and maintaining our portfolio of modern, amenity-rich properties, has resulted in an approximate 65% tenant retention rate over the past five years.

In addition to operational excellence, we also focus on environmental sustainability initiatives at our properties. During 2025, we:

•were recognized as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the year for the fifth consecutive year;

•achieved a maximum five star designation and “Green Star” recognition with scores ranking in the top decile of all participating listed U.S. companies from the GRESB Real Estate Assessment; and

•continued to be recognized as a Green Lease Leader by the Institute for Market Transformation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Alliance.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 83% and 74% of our portfolio was ENERGY STAR rated and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") certified, respectively, and 63% of our portfolio was certified LEED gold.

Our primary operating objectives are to maximize the risk-adjusted return to our stockholders by increasing cash flow from operations, by achieving sustainable growth in funds from operations, and by growing net asset value as a result of long-term capital appreciation. The strategies we employ to achieve these objectives include:

Redevelopment and Repositioning of Properties

We have recently redeveloped the majority of the properties within our portfolio to maintain and enhance the competitive positioning of our properties in their respective marketplaces. These redevelopment projects have focused on creating

additional, or enhancing existing, amenities for our tenants to increase tenant satisfaction, occupancy, and rental rates, thereby supporting our leasing efforts and improving returns on our invested capital.

Proactive Asset and Property Management, Leasing Capabilities, and Management of Portfolio Risk

Our proactive, hospitality-minded approach to asset and property management encompasses a number of strategies designed to maximize occupancy and rental rates while following leading environmentally-conscious business practices and also meeting or exceeding the needs of today's discerning tenants. Such strategies include:

•maintaining local management offices in markets where we have a significant presence;

•using a "hospitality-driven" service approach intended to enhance each client's workplace experience;

•offering, or being located near, superior amenities that help our tenants attract and retain their employees;

•renovating our buildings to maintain their modern appearance and superior operating condition;

•maintaining our high quality properties in an environmentally-friendly manner;

•building and cultivating our relationships with commercial real estate executives;

•using creative leasing approaches such as early extensions, lease wrap-arounds and restructurings; and

•utilizing a national buying platform for property management support services to ensure optimal pricing, as well as to consistently implement best practices and achieve sustainability standards.

We manage portfolio risk by:

•owning Class A office properties which are among the most desirable in their respective office sub-markets;

•focusing our portfolio primarily in high growth Sunbelt markets;

•ensuring that our tenants are credit-worthy and represent a broad spectrum of industry types with lease expirations that are distributed over multiple years;

•targeting a low leverage structure comprised of primarily unsecured financing facilities with laddered maturities;

•structuring lease expirations to avoid having multiple leases expire in the same market in a relatively short period of time;

•using our experience to meet the specialized requirements of federal, state and local government agency tenants; and

•utilizing our purchasing power and market knowledge to reduce property operating costs.

Operating our Properties in an Environmentally Responsible Manner

We strive to own and manage workplaces that are environmentally conscious, productive, and healthy for our tenants, employees, and local communities by:

•empowering our property teams with the data and tools they need to sustainably manage their buildings

•leveraging industry partnerships with BOMA, Energy Star, the U.S. Green Building Council, and GRESB, to verify and advance the environmental performance of our assets;

•implementing programs that continually improve our environmental performance and manage our climate change risk;

•setting performance targets that demonstrate our commitment to sustainable practices; and

•renovating our properties to reduce operating costs, meet recognized sustainable development standards, and reduce our environmental impact.
