requiring the
Company to permit the Investors to co-invest in certain
opportunities pursued by the Company or its affiliates within the
greater Houston metropolitan area (as defined in the joint
venture agreement) to acquire or finance commercial office
properties, office building development sites or parking garages.
In addition to the joint venture agreement, the Company, through
one of its subsidiaries, will enter into a property management
and leasing agreement with the joint venture and/or its
subsidiaries to which the Company, through its subsidiary, will
act as property manager, leasing agent and construction manager
of the joint ventures properties in exchange for specified
property management, leasing and construction management
fees.

In addition, at
closing under the Contribution Agreement, the joint venture and
certain of its subsidiaries expect to assume the existing
mortgage loan on Phoenix Tower and to enter into new mortgage
financing of up to $465million secured by the Greenway Plaza
properties, as described below in Item 8.01 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K. At closing, the Operating Partnership will
use a portion of the proceeds of the new mortgage financing and
the purchase price received from the Investors, in each case net
of required reserves, to repay all amounts outstanding under the
Companys current credit facility, dated October6, 2016, by and
among the Company, the Operating Partnership, Bank of America,
N.A. and certain other parties, and to fund a credit to the joint
venture with respect to certain outstanding contractual lease
obligations and in-process capital expenditures. The remainder of
these proceeds will be retained by the Company for general
corporate purposes.

The Contribution
Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and
interim operating covenants of the parties that are subject, in
some cases, to specified exceptions and qualifications. The
transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including
performance in all material respects of each partys pre-closing
covenants and agreements contained in the Contribution Agreement,
delivery of title insurance policies with respect to the Greenway
Properties, certain local regulatory approvals, and consummation
of certain pre-closing structuring in anticipation of the
transaction, including the formation of a holding company
subsidiary of the joint venture to be qualified as a real estate
investment trust. Obtaining the new mortgage financing is not a
condition to closing. The Contribution Agreement requires that,
on or before 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the second business day after the
date of the Contribution Agreement, each of the Investors
deposits $10million into an escrow account and deliver to the
Operating Partnership its pro rata share of an up-front financing
amount under the mortgage loan commitment. In the event that
CPPIB fails to make its required deposit, the Contribution
Agreement will automatically terminate in its entirety. In the
event that TIAA/SP fails to make its required deposit, the
Contribution Agreement will terminate only with respect to
TIAA/SP and CPPIB will be required to deposit an additional
$8.3million in the escrow account, plus contribute an additional
pro rata share of the up-front financing amount, on or before
5:00 p.m. (EST) on the fifth business day after the date of
TIAA/SPs default.

The Investors and
the Operating Partnership each have certain termination rights
and remedies under the Contribution Agreement. Subject to certain
notice and other requirements, each Investor may terminate the
Contribution Agreement, as to itself, in certain circumstances,
including in the event of certain casualty or condemnation events
or in the event of adverse economic diminution to the value of
the joint ventures assets in excess of $40million (or a specified
lesser amount in the event TIAA/SP withdraws as a buyer) arising
directly from breaches of such representations or covenants by
the Operating Partnership, failure to address non-permitted title
objections or willful failure to close on the part of the
Operating Partnership. Each Investor may commence legal action
after closing to recover its pro rata share of any such losses
that do not exceed such amounts, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Contribution Agreement. Upon any such
termination, the Operating Partnership may be obligated to return
such Investors deposit (including a full or partial reimbursement
of its pro rata share of the up-front financing fees), in
addition to making certain other payments and reimbursements to
the Investor in an amount not exceeding $1.25million. The
Operating Partnership may terminate the Contribution Agreement as
to an Investor and retain such Investors deposit as liquidated
damages in the event of covenant breaches by such Investor,
including the failure or refusal to deliver its initial capital
contribution (less the deposit) or other closing deliveries at
closing in accordance with the Contribution Agreement.

Closing under the
Contribution Agreement is expected to occur during the second
quarter of 2017, subject to extension to an outside date of
May31, 2017, which may be further extended to June21, 2017 in
certain circumstances.

The foregoing
description of the Contribution Agreement does not purport to be
complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Contribution Agreement, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by
reference. The representations, warranties and covenants
contained in the Contribution Agreement were made only for
purposes of the Contribution Agreement and as of specific dates,
were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Contribution
Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the
parties for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between
them that differs from risks applicable to investors.Investors
should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants
or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual
state of facts or condition of the Company or its assets.

Item2.06.
Material Impairments.

On February17,
2017, in connection with execution of the Contribution Agreement,
the Companys management determined that it will recognize a
non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $25.0million
in the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The impairment charge
represents the difference between the current book values of the
Greenway Properties and the implied fair values of the Greenway
Properties based on the purchase price paid by the Investors to
the Contribution Agreement. The Company does not expect this
impairment charge to result in future cash expenditures.

Item8.01.
Other Events.

In connection with
the Contribution Agreement, on February17, 2017, the Operating
Partnership reached an agreement to enter into a debt commitment
letter (the Commitment Letter) with Goldman Sachs Mortgage
Company (Goldman Sachs) to which Goldman Sachs has, among other
things, agreed to provide the joint venture and certain of its
subsidiaries a mortgage loan in an aggregate principal amount of
up to $465million (the Loan) secured by the Greenway Plaza
properties and all related assets. On February 22, 2017, the
Operating Partnership and Goldman Sachs entered into the
Commitment Letter and a rate lock agreement. Funding of the Loan
is subject to certain other conditions set forth in the
Commitment Letter.

Cautionary

Certain statements
contained in this communication, including those that express a
belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not
statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the federal securities laws and as such are
based upon the Companys current beliefs as to the outcome and
timing of future events. There can be no assurance that actual
future developments affecting the Company will be those
anticipated by the Company. Examples of forward-looking
statements include projected capital resources, projected
profitability and portfolio performance, estimates of market
rental rates, projected capital improvements, expected sources of
financing, expectations as to the timing of closing of
acquisitions, dispositions, or other transactions, the expected
operating performance of anticipated near-term acquisitions and
descriptions relating to these expectations, including without
limitation, the anticipated net operating income yield. The
Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements
presented in this presentation are based on managements beliefs
and assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management. When used, the words anticipate, assume, believe,
estimate, expect, forecast, guidance, intend, may, might,
outlook, project, should or similar expressions that do not
relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. You can also identify forward-looking
statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some
of which are beyond the Companys control) and are subject to
change based upon various factors, including but not limited to
the following risks and uncertainties: the Companys lack of
operating history as an independent company; conditions
associated with the Companys primary market, including an
oversupply of office space, customer financial difficulties and
general economic conditions; that certain of the Companys
properties represent a significant portion of the Companys
revenues and costs; that the spin-off from Cousins Properties
Incorporated (Cousins) will not qualify for tax-free treatment;
the Companys ability to meet mortgage debt obligations on certain
of the Companys properties; the availability of refinancing
current debt obligations; potential co-investments with
third-parties; changes in any credit rating the Company may
obtain; changes in the real estate industry and in performance of
the financial markets and interest rates and the Companys ability
to effectively hedge against interest rate changes; the actual or
perceived impact of global and economic conditions; declines in
commodity prices, which may negatively impact the Houston,
Texas

market; the
concentration of the Companys customers in the energy sector; the
demand for and market acceptance of the Companys properties for
rental purposes; the Companys ability to enter into new leases or
renewal leases on favorable terms; the potential for termination
of existing leases to customer termination rights; the amount,
growth and relative inelasticity of the Companys expenses; risks
associated with the ownership and development of real property;
termination of property management contracts; the bankruptcy or
insolvency of companies for which the Company provides property
management services or the sale of these properties; the outcome
of claims and litigation involving or affecting the Company; the
ability to satisfy conditions necessary to close pending
transactions and the ability to successfully integrate the assets
and related operations acquired in such transactions after
closing; applicable regulatory changes; risks associated with
acquisitions, including the integration of the portion of the
combined business of Parkway Properties, Inc. (Legacy Parkway)
and Cousins relating to the ownership of real properties in
Houston and Legacy Parkways fee-based real estate business; risks
associated with the fact that the Companys historical and
predecessors financial information may not be a reliable
indicator of the Companys future results; risks associated with
achieving expected synergies or cost savings; risks associated
with the potential volatility of the Companys common stock; and
other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the
Companys Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Should one or more
of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, the Companys business, financial
condition, liquidity, cash flows and results could differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.
While forward-looking statements reflect the Companys good faith
beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it
is made. New risks and uncertainties arise overtime, and it is
not possible for us to predict the occurrence of those matters or
the manner in which they may affect us. The Company disclaims any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or
factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or
other changes. Accordingly, investors should use caution in
relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on
results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate
future results or trends.
