Duke Realty Announces Pricing of $575 Million of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2011.

Entry into Capped Call and Repurchase of $88.37 Million of Common Stock

INDIANAPOLIS -- Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE) ("Duke") announced that Duke Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which Duke is the sole General Partner, priced its offering of $575 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2011, to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will use approximately $88.37 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to fund the repurchase of shares of Duke's common stock, and an additional approximately $26.97 million to fund the capped call transaction relating to the notes.

The notes will pay interest semiannually at a rate of 3.75% per annum and mature on December 1, 2011. The notes will have an initial exchange rate of approximately 20.4298 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, representing an exchange price of approximately $48.95 per share of Duke's common stock and an exchange premium of approximately 20.0 % based on the last reported sale price of $40.79 per share of Duke's common stock on November 16, 2006. The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and will be exchangeable upon the occurrence of specified events, and during the period beginning on August 1, 2011 and ending on the second business day prior to the maturity date, into cash or a combination of cash and shares of Duke's common stock. The closing of the sale of the notes and repurchase by Duke of $88.37 million of shares of its common stock is expected to occur on November 22, 2006. The net proceeds from this offering are estimated to be approximately $447.26 million, after deducting estimated fees and expenses of approximately $12.4 million.

In connection with the offering, Duke and the Operating Partnership have entered into a capped call transaction with affiliates of certain of the initial purchasers of the notes to increase the effective exchange price of the notes to $57.11 per share of Duke's common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 40% based on the November 16, 2006 closing price of $40.79 per share of Duke's common stock. This transaction also is intended to minimize the potential dilution upon future conversion of the notes. The net cost of the capped call transaction was approximately $26.97 million and will be included as a permanent reduction of equity in Duke's balance sheet.

In connection with the capped call transaction, the counterparties have advised Duke that the counterparties and/or their respective affiliates have simultaneously with the pricing, and shortly after pricing, purchased shares of Duke's common stock and/or entered into various derivative transactions with respect to Duke's common stock. In addition, following the pricing of the notes, the counterparties or their respective affiliates may enter into or unwind various derivatives and/or continue to purchase or sell shares of Duke's common stock in secondary market transactions, including during the observation period relating to any conversion of the notes.

The Operating Partnership expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the repurchase by Duke of $88.37 million of shares of Duke's common stock at a price of $40.79 per common share, to fund the $26.97 million cost of the capped call transaction, to repay outstanding amounts under the Operating Partnership's unsecured line of credit, and for other general corporate purposes.
