EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Parkway, Inc. (the “Company”) includes the financial statements of both the Company, as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and the Company’s predecessors, Parkway Houston and Cousins Houston, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. “Parkway Houston” is the portion of the Houston Business (as defined below) previously owned and operated by Parkway Properties, Inc. (“Legacy Parkway”), including Legacy Parkway’s fee-based real estate services and certain other assets previously owned by Legacy Parkway. “Cousins Houston” is the portion of the Houston Business previously owned and operated by Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins”). “Houston Business” is the portion of the combined businesses of Legacy Parkway and Cousins relating to the ownership of real properties in Houston, Texas, together with Legacy Parkway’s fee-based real estate services, which was contributed to the Company pursuant to the Separation (as defined below). Parkway Houston and Cousins Houston were not operated by Legacy Parkway or Cousins as stand-alone businesses.

On October 6, 2016, Legacy Parkway merged with and into Clinic Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins, with Clinic Sub Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins (the “Legacy Parkway Merger”). The Legacy Parkway Merger was consummated pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 28, 2016 (the “Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement”), by and among Cousins, Clinic Sub Inc., Legacy Parkway and Parkway Properties LP (“Parkway LP”). Following the consummation of the Legacy Parkway Merger on October 6, 2016, in accordance with the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Cousins separated the portion of its combined businesses relating to the ownership of real properties in Houston, Texas, as well as Legacy Parkway’s fee-based real estate services, from the remainder of the combined businesses (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, Cousins and Legacy Parkway reorganized the combined businesses through a series of transactions (the “UPREIT Reorganization”) pursuant to which the Houston Business was transferred to the Company, and the remainder of the combined business was transferred to Cousins Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Cousins LP”), the operating partnership of Cousins. On October 7, 2016, following the Separation and Reorganization, Cousins completed the spin-off of the Company, by distributing all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common and limited voting stock to the holders of Cousins common and limited voting preferred stock as of the record date, October 6, 2016 (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was consummated pursuant to the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement and that certain Separation, Distribution and Transition Services Agreement, dated October 5, 2016, by and among the Company, Parkway LP, Cousins, Cousins LP and certain other parties.

The financial statements of the Company’s predecessors, Parkway Houston and Cousins Houston, presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q cover the period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, which was prior to consummation of the Separation, the UPREIT Reorganization and the Spin-Off. Therefore, the discussion of the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition of Parkway Houston and Cousins Houston set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is not necessarily indicative of the future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Company as an independent, publicly traded company.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Certain statements that are not in the present or past tense or that discuss our expectations (including any use of the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “project,” “should” or similar expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statement are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and it is possible that our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such factors include, but are not limited to:
our short operating history as an independent company;
conditions associated with our primary market, including an oversupply of office space, customer financial difficulties and general economic conditions;
our ability to consummate the pending merger transaction with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and the risks associated therewith;
the ability of the Company to obtain required stockholder approval required to consummate the proposed merger;
the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions in the merger agreement;
the outcome of the current and any future legal proceedings that have or may be instituted against us and others related to the merger agreement in connection with the pending merger transaction;
the risk that the pending merger transaction, or the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, may not be completed in the time frame expected by the parties or at all;
that each of our properties represent a significant portion of our revenues and costs;
that our Spin-Off from Cousins will not qualify for tax-free treatment;
our ability to meet mortgage debt obligations on certain of our properties;
the availability of refinancing current debt obligations;
risks associated with joint ventures and potential co-investments with third-parties;
changes in any credit rating we may subsequently obtain;
changes in the real estate industry and in performance of the financial markets and interest rates and our ability to effectively hedge against interest rate changes;
the actual or perceived impact of global and economic conditions, including U.S. monetary policy;
declines in commodity prices, which may negatively impact the Houston, Texas market;
the concentration of our customers in the energy sector;
that a significant portion of our revenues comes from our top 20 customers;
the demand for and market acceptance of our properties for rental purposes;
our ability to enter into new leases or renewal leases on favorable terms;
the potential for termination of existing leases pursuant to customer termination rights;
the amount, growth and relative inelasticity of our expenses;


3


the bankruptcy or insolvency of companies for which we provide 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 the closing;
applicable regulatory changes;
risks associated with the ownership and development of real property, including risks related to natural disasters and illiquidity of real estate;
risks associated with acquisitions, including the integration of the combined Houston Business;
risks associated with the fact that our historical and pro forma financial information may not be a reliable indicator of our future results;
risks associated with achieving expected synergies or cost savings;
defaults or non-renewal of leases;
termination or non-renewal of property management contracts;
our failure to maintain our status as real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
risks associated with the potential volatility of our common stock; and
other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

A discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents filed by us with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and financial results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. While forward-looking statements reflect our 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 over time, and it is not possible for us to predict the occurrence of those matters or the manner in which they may affect us. Except as required by law, we undertake no 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
(unaudited)

Note 1—Organization

Parkway, Inc. (the “Company”) is an independent, publicly traded, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates high-quality office properties located in submarkets in Houston, Texas. At June 30, 2017, the Company owned or had an interest, including an interest held in an unconsolidated joint venture, in a portfolio consisting of five assets comprising 19 buildings and totaling approximately 8.7 million rentable square feet (unaudited) in the Galleria, Greenway and Westchase submarkets of Houston, providing geographic focus and significant operational scale and efficiencies.

In addition, the Company operates a fee-based real estate service (the “Third-Party Services Business” and together with the Houston real properties, the “Houston Business”) through a wholly owned subsidiary, Eola Office Partners, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Eola”), which managed in total approximately 8.7 million square feet, including 5.0 million square feet related to interests held in an unconsolidated joint venture and the remainder related to properties held by third-party property owners. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to square feet represent net rentable square feet.

The Company’s Pending Merger with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board

On June 29, 2017, the Company, Parkway LP and certain subsidiaries of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which CPPIB will acquire 100% of the Company for $1.2 billion, or $23.05 per share. The $23.05 per share cash consideration consists of $19.05 per share plus a $4.00 per share special dividend to be paid prior to closing. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company's stockholders.

The Company’s Spin-Off from Cousins

On October 7, 2016, Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins”) completed the spin-off of the Company by distributing all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common and limited voting stock to the holders of Cousins common and limited voting preferred stock as of the record date, October 6, 2016 (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was effected pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement”), dated as of April 28, 2016, by and among Parkway Properties, Inc. (“Legacy Parkway”), Parkway Properties LP (“Parkway LP”), Cousins and Clinic Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins, and pursuant to that certain Separation, Distribution and Transition Services Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”), dated as of October 5, 2016, among the Company, Cousins and certain other parties thereto.

Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company was incorporated on June 3, 2016 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Parkway. On October 6, 2016, pursuant to the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Legacy Parkway merged with and into Clinic Sub Inc., with Clinic Sub Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins (the “Legacy Parkway Merger”). In connection with the Legacy Parkway Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Cousins. Immediately following the effective time of the Legacy Parkway Merger, in accordance with the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Cousins separated the portion of its combined businesses relating to the ownership of real properties in Houston, Texas, as well as Legacy Parkway’s Third-Party Services Business, from the remainder of the combined businesses (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, the Company and Cousins reorganized the businesses through a series of transactions (the “UPREIT Reorganization”), pursuant to which the Houston Business was transferred to the Company, and the remainder of the combined business was transferred to Cousins Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Cousins LP”), the operating partnership of Cousins. Following the Separation and UPREIT Reorganization, Cousins effected the Spin-Off on October 7, 2016.

Greenway Properties Joint Venture

On February 17, 2017, the Company, through Parkway Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and certain other subsidiaries, entered into an Omnibus Contribution and Partial Interest Assignment Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with an affiliate of CPPIB and an entity controlled by TH Real Estate Global Asset Management and Silverpeak Real Estate Partners (“TIAA/SP”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, on April 20, 2017, the Company completed the sale of an aggregate 49% interest in Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower (collectively, the “Greenway Properties”). As a result, the Operating Partnership, through a joint venture with CPPIB and TIAA/SP (the “Greenway Properties joint venture”), owns a 51% indirect interest in the Greenway Properties (with 1% held by a subsidiary acting as the general partner of the Greenway Properties


11


joint venture and 50% held by a subsidiary acting as a limited partner of the Greenway Properties joint venture), and each of CPPIB and TIAA/SP owns a 24.5% indirect interest. While the Company has significant influence over the operations of the Greenway Properties joint venture, CPPIB and TIAA/SP hold substantive participating rights. As a result, the Company deconsolidated the Greenway Properties, and the retained interest is accounted for under the equity method. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a $15.0 million impairment loss on real estate in connection with the excess of its carrying value over its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, of the properties related to the Greenway Properties joint venture.

On April 17, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Greenway Properties joint venture (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“Lender”).The Loan Agreement, which was executed while the Borrowers were still wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, provides for a loan in the original principal amount of $465 million (the “Loan”), and was fully funded to the Operating Partnership at the initial closing of the Greenway Properties joint venture on April 17, 2017. The Operating Partnership used the proceeds of the Loan to (i) repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2016, by and among the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for a three-year, $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a three-year, $350 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”), and (ii) to fund a credit to the Greenway Properties joint venture with respect to certain outstanding contractual lease obligations and in-process capital expenditures. The Loan has a term of five years, maturing on May 6, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 3.8% per annum. The Loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority mortgage lien against the Borrowers’ fee simple interest in the Greenway Properties (other than the Phoenix Tower asset).

Immediately following the execution of the Loan Agreement and funding of proceeds to the Operating Partnership, CPPIB and TIAA/SP each acquired a 24.5% interest in the Borrowers, and the assets and liabilities, including the Loan, were deconsolidated by the Company. The Greenway Properties joint venture also assumed the existing mortgage debt secured by Phoenix Tower, which had an outstanding balance of approximately $75.9 million at April 17, 2017 and matures on March 1, 2023. The Company recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the termination of the Credit Facility.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Parkway Properties General Partners, Inc. (“PPGP”), is the sole, indirect general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2017, owned a 98.2% interest in the Operating Partnership directly and through its subsidiaries PPGP and Parkway LP. The remaining 1.8% interest is indirectly held by certain persons through their limited partnership interests in Parkway LP. As the sole, indirect general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full and complete authority over the Operating Partnership’s operations and management.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management (“management”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company also consolidates subsidiaries where the entity is a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) and the Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Operating Partnership was determined to be a VIE, and the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

The equity method of accounting is used for those joint ventures that do not meet the criteria for consolidation and where the Company does not control these joint ventures, but exercises significant influence. The cost method of accounting is used for investments in which the Company does not have significant influence. These investments are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment exist.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could


12


differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the audited financial statements included therein and the notes thereto.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company’s operations are exclusively in the real estate industry and principally involve the operation, leasing, acquisition and ownership of office buildings in Houston, Texas.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's revenues that will be impacted by this standard include revenues earned from fee-based real estate services, sales of real estate assets including land parcels and operating properties and other ancillary income. The Company expects that the amount and timing of revenue recognition from its fee-based real estate services referenced above will be generally consistent with its current measurement and pattern of recognition. The Company currently anticipates utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption on January 1, 2018 and continues to evaluate the adoption impacts of this standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities of lessees on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessor accounting will remain substantially similar to the current accounting; however, certain refinements were made to conform the standard with the recently issued revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components. Additionally, certain leasing costs that are eligible to be capitalized as initial direct costs are also limited by ASU 2016-02. The Company expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2019 and will utilize the modified retrospective method of adoption. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are earned from arrangements that are within the scope of ASU 2016-02, thus we anticipate that the timing of recognition and financial statement presentation of certain revenues, including revenues that related to consideration from non-lease components, may be affected. The Company is still assessing the impact of adopting this guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this standard prospectively as of January 1, 2017.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)” (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Partial sales of nonfinancial assets are common in the real estate industry and include transactions in which the seller retains an equity interest in the entity that owns the assets or has an equity interest in the buyer. ASU 2017-05 requires the re-measurement to fair value of a retained interest in a partial sale. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance.

Credit Facility
    
In connection with the Separation and the UPREIT Reorganization, on October 6, 2016, the Company and the Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement providing for (i) a three-year, $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and (ii) a three-year, $350 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”), with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility had an initial maturity date of October 6, 2019, but was subject to a one-year extension option at the election of the Operating Partnership. The exercise of the extension option required the payment of an extension fee and the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions. The credit agreement also permitted the Operating Partnership to utilize up to $15 million of the Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit. Interest on the Credit Facility accrued at a rate based on LIBOR or a base rate plus an applicable margin. The Credit Facility was prepayable at the election of the borrower (upon not less than three business days’ written notice to the administrative agent) without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage fees), and did not require any scheduled repayments of principal prior


15


to the maturity date. The Credit Facility was guaranteed pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement entered into on October 6, 2016, by the Company, all wholly owned material subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are not otherwise prohibited from guarantying the Credit Facility, PPGP and Parkway LP.

On April 17, 2017, in connection with completion of the Greenway Properties joint venture transaction, the Operating Partnership repaid in full all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and terminated the Credit Facility. The Company recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the termination of the Credit Facility.

See “Note 1—Organization” for additional information regarding the assumption of the Phoenix Tower mortgage by the Greenway Properties joint venture.

Note 6—Fair Values of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also provides guidance for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities. The codification requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).

(1) The carrying amounts of notes payable to banks and mortgage notes payable represent par values.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value for each class of financial asset or liability are discussed below:

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Notes payable to banks:  The fair value of the Company’s notes payable to banks is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at current market rates. This information is considered a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820.



16


Mortgage notes payable:  The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at current market rates. This information is considered a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820.

Non-financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include the following: (1) non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in a business combination, if any, and (2) impairment or disposal of long-lived assets measured at fair value. The fair values assigned to the Company’s purchase price assignments utilize Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820. The fair value assigned to the long-lived assets for which there was impairment recorded utilize Level 2 inputs as defined by ASC 820.

Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries may be involved from time to time in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes, environmental matters and litigation in connection with transactions including acquisitions and divestitures. The Company believes that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the financial position or the results of operations. The Company will record a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
 
The Company has a 1% limited partnership interest in 2121 Market Street Associates, LP (“2121 Market Street”). A mortgage loan secured by a first trust deed on 2121 Market Street is guaranteed by the Company up to a maximum amount of $14.0 million expiring in December 2022.

Note 8—Share-Based and Long-Term Compensation Plans

In September 2016, the Company adopted the Parkway, Inc. and Parkway Operating Partnership LP 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), pursuant to which the following types of awards may be granted to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants: (i) options, including nonstatutory stock options and incentive stock options; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) restricted shares; (iv) restricted stock units; (v) profits interest units (LTIP units); (vi) dividend equivalents; (vii) other forms of awards payable in or denominated by reference to shares of common stock; or (viii) cash. The Registration Statement on Form S-8, filed with the SEC on October 7, 2016, covered (i) 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus (ii) up to 1,300,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to equity awards of the Company resulting from awards originally granted under Legacy Parkway’s equity incentive plan that were assumed by the Company in connection with the Legacy Parkway Merger and the Spin-Off (the “Assumed Awards”). Ultimately, there were 1,002,596 Assumed Awards granted in connection with the Legacy Parkway Merger and the Spin-Off, such that the total number of shares reserved under the 2016 Plan is 6,002,596 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Through June 30, 2017, the Company had stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding under the 2016 Plan, each as described below.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

At June 30, 2017, a total of 773,617 shares underlying stock options with an aggregate fair value of $1.2 million had been granted to officers of the Company and former officers of Legacy Parkway and remained outstanding and exercisable under the 2016 Equity Plan. The options have exercise prices that range from $21.91 to $22.00 and expire on March 2, 2023.







17


At June 30, 2017, a total of 209,125 time-vesting RSUs had been granted to officers and certain other employees of the Company and remained outstanding and unvested under the 2016 Equity Plan. The time-vesting RSUs are valued at $4.3 million, which equates to an average price per share of $20.55. A total of 114,490 time-vesting RSU awards vested on January 1, 2017, 75,267 time-vesting RSU awards will vest in increments of 25% per year on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and 133,858 time-vesting RSU awards will vest in increments of 33% per year on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued service.

At June 30, 2017, a total of 283,099 performance-vesting RSUs had been granted to officers and certain other employees of the Company and remained outstanding and unvested under the 2016 Equity Plan. The performance-vesting RSUs are valued at approximately $2.4 million, which equates to an average price per share of $8.60. Grant date fair values of the performance-vesting RSUs are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and the resulting expense is recorded regardless of whether the total stockholder return (“TSR”) performance measures are achieved if the required service is delivered. Each performance-vesting RSU will vest based on the attainment of TSR targets during the applicable performance period, subject to the grantee’s continued service.

Total compensation expense related to stock options and RSUs of $528,000 and $1.0 million was recognized in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Total compensation expense related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $5.5 million at June 30, 2017. The weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.7 years.

The computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 does not include the effect of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest - unitholders in the numerator and partnership units and time-vesting RSUs in the denominator as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Terms and conditions of these awards are described in “Note 8—Share-Based and Long-Term Compensation Plans.”

Note 10—Related Party Transactions

Certain of the Company’s executive officers own interests in properties that are managed and leased by Eola. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $41,000 and $86,000 in management fees and approximately $144,000 and $259,000 in reimbursements, respectively, related to the management and leasing of these properties.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company paid director fees for the two directors nominated by TPG VI Pantera Holdings, L.P. (“TPG Pantera”) totaling approximately $32,000 and $106,000, respectively, to TPG VI Management, LLC (“TPG Management,” and together with TPG Pantera, the “TPG Parties”).


18


On September 28, 2016, Eola entered into an agreement and side letter with affiliates of the TPG Parties pursuant to which Eola performs property management, accounting and finance services for such affiliates of the TPG Parties at certain assets owned by such affiliates (collectively, the “TPG Owner”) that were purchased from Legacy Parkway on September 27, 2016. The agreement has a one-year term and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement and side letter, Eola receives a monthly management fee equal to approximately 2.5% of the aggregate gross revenues received from the operation of the properties and is reimbursed for certain personnel expenses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Eola recorded approximately $176,000 and $301,000 for management fees and $143,000 and $270,000 for salary reimbursements, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded management fees of approximately $452,000 and reimbursements, net of elimination, related to the unconsolidated joint venture of approximately $1.1 million.

Concurrently with the execution of the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Legacy Parkway and Parkway LP entered into a letter agreement (the “Thomas Letter Agreement”) with Mr. James A. Thomas, then chairman of the Legacy Parkway board of directors and the current chairman of the Company’s board of directors, and certain unitholders of Parkway LP who are affiliated with Mr. Thomas. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Thomas Letter Agreement is binding on the Company. On March 14, 2017, the Operating Partnership and Parkway LP entered into a Debt Guaranty Agreement (the “Debt Guaranty Agreement”) with Mr. Thomas and certain affiliates of Mr. Thomas (the “Thomas Investors”) that implements those provisions of the Thomas Letter Agreement regarding debt guarantee opportunities made available to Mr. Thomas and the Thomas Investors. Consistent with the Thomas Letter Agreement, pursuant to the Debt Guaranty Agreement, the Operating Partnership made available to Mr. Thomas and the Thomas Investors certain debt guarantee opportunities corresponding to specified mortgage loans of the Company, of which Mr. Thomas and the Thomas Investors entered into contribution agreements with respect to $109 million (representing an additional $70 million over their existing $39 million guarantee). In the event these specified mortgage loans become unavailable for guarantee (whether because the Company repays them, sells the corresponding asset, or otherwise), the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a replacement guarantee or contribution opportunity to the extent of the Company’s remaining qualifying debt (but not in excess of $109 million). The Company has agreed to maintain any such debt for the remainder of the five-year period following October 2016, subject to early termination in the event of a going private transaction, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or certain similar transactions.

Note 11—Subsequent Events

On August 2, 2017, a purported federal securities class action related to the Merger Agreement, Price v. Parkway, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action No. 4:17-cv-2367, against the Company and the members of the Company's board of directors. On August 9, 2017, another purported federal securities class action related to the Merger Agreement, Scarantino v. Parkway, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action No. 4:17-cv-02441, against the Company, Parkway LP, CPPIB, certain affiliates of CPPIB and the members of the Company's board of directors. Each lawsuit, which purports to have been brought on behalf of all holders of the Company's common stock, generally alleges that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on July 27, 2017 failed to disclose material information about the pending merger transaction with CPPIB. Each complaint seeks to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with the stockholder vote on the Company-level merger at the special meeting or consummating the merger transaction unless and until the Company discloses the allegedly omitted information. Each complaint also seeks damages allegedly suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of the asserted omission, as well as related attorneys’ fees and expenses. The defendants believe that all of the allegations against them lack merit and intend to defend against the lawsuits vigorously. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the lawsuits described above, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016
(unaudited)

Note 1—Organization

On April 28, 2016, Cousins Properties Incorporated, a Georgia corporation (“Cousins”), and Parkway Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Legacy Parkway”), entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2016 (the “Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement”), by and among Legacy Parkway, Parkway Properties LP, Cousins and Clinic Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins. On October 6, 2016, pursuant to the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Legacy Parkway merged with and into Clinic Sub Inc., with Clinic Sub Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins (the “Legacy Parkway Merger”). Immediately following the effective time of the Legacy Parkway Merger, in accordance with the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Cousins separated the portion of its combined businesses relating to the ownership of real properties in Houston, Texas, as well as Legacy Parkway’s fee-based real estate services (the “Third-Party Services Business” and together with the Houston real properties, the “Houston Business”), from the remainder of the combined businesses (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, Cousins and Legacy Parkway reorganized the combined businesses through a series of transactions (the “UPREIT Reorganization”) pursuant to which the Houston Business was transferred to Parkway, Inc. (the “Company”). On October 7, 2016, Cousins completed the spin-off of the Company, by distributing all of the outstanding shares of common and limited voting stock of the Company to the holders of Cousins common and limited voting preferred stock as of the record date, October 6, 2016 (the “Spin-Off”).    

The combined financial statements included herein represent the combined accounts and combined operations of the Houston Business previously owned and operated by Legacy Parkway (“Parkway Houston”).

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had not conducted any business as a separate company and had no material assets or liabilities. The operations of Parkway Houston, which were transferred to the Company immediately following the effective time of the Legacy Parkway Merger, are presented as if the transferred business was Parkway Houston’s business for all historical periods described and at the carrying value of such assets and liabilities reflected in Legacy Parkway’s books and records.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Parkway Houston presented on a combined basis as the ownership interests were under common control and ownership of Legacy Parkway. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

These combined financial statements are derived from the books and records of Legacy Parkway and were carved out from Legacy Parkway at a carrying value reflective of such historical cost in such Legacy Parkway records. Parkway Houston’s historical financial results reflect charges for certain corporate costs and Parkway Houston believes such charges are reasonable; however, such results do not necessarily reflect what Parkway Houston's expenses would have been had Parkway Houston been operating as a separate stand-alone public company. Costs of the services that were charged to Parkway Houston were based on either actual costs incurred or a proportion of costs estimated to be applicable to Parkway Houston. The historical combined financial information presented may therefore not be indicative of the results of operations, financial position or cash flows that would have been obtained if Parkway Houston had been an independent, stand-alone public company during the periods presented or of Parkway Houston's future performance as an independent, stand-alone company.

Parkway Houston is a predecessor, as defined in applicable rules and regulations for the Securities and Exchange Commission, to the Houston Business, which commenced operations on the date of the Spin-Off.

These combined financial statements reflect the consolidation of properties that are wholly owned or properties in which, prior to the Legacy Parkway Merger, the Separation, the UPREIT Reorganization and the Spin-Off, Legacy Parkway owned less than a 100% interest but that Legacy Parkway controlled. Control of a property is demonstrated by, among other factors, Parkway Houston’s ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or owner and the inability of any other partner or owner to replace Legacy Parkway. Eola Capital, LLC (“Eola Capital”), Phoenix Tower, CityWestPlace and San Felipe Plaza were all indirectly wholly owned by Legacy Parkway for all periods presented.






22


Parkway Houston consolidates its Murano residential condominium project which it controls. Parkway Houston’s partner has a stated ownership interest of 27%. Net proceeds from the project were distributed, to the extent available, based on an order of preferences described in the partnership agreement. Parkway Houston may receive distributions, if any, in excess of its stated 73% ownership interest if certain return thresholds are met.

Note 3—Commitments and Contingencies

Parkway Houston and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of business. Parkway Houston does not believe that any such litigation will materially affect Parkway Houston's financial position or operations.

Note 4—Mortgage Notes Payable, Net

On April 6, 2016, Legacy Parkway paid in full the $114.0 million mortgage debt secured by CityWest Place I and II and recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $154,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Note 5—Related Party Transactions

On May 18, 2011, Legacy Parkway entered into the Contribution Agreement pursuant to which Eola Capital contributed its property management company (the “Management Company”) to Parkway Houston. In connection with the Eola Capital contribution of its Management Company to Legacy Parkway, a subsidiary of Legacy Parkway made a $3.5 million preferred equity investment in an entity 21% owned by Mr. James R. Heistand. This investment provides that Legacy Parkway will be paid a preferred equity return equal to 7% per annum of the preferred equity outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Legacy Parkway received preferred equity distributions on this investment in the aggregate amounts of approximately $61,000 and $122,000, respectively. This preferred equity investment was approved by the board of directors of Legacy Parkway, and recorded as a cost method investment.

Certain of Legacy Parkway’s executive officers own interests in properties that are managed and leased by the Management Company. Parkway Houston recorded approximately $77,000 and $156,000 in management fees, respectively, and $193,000 and $388,000 in reimbursements, respectively, related to the management and leasing of these assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

As discussed in Note 1 and Note 2, the accompanying combined financial statements present the operations of Parkway Houston as carved out from the financial statements of Legacy Parkway. Transactions between the entities have been eliminated in the combined presentation. The combined financial statements include payroll costs and benefits for on-site personnel employed by Legacy Parkway allocated to Parkway Houston. These costs are reflected in property operating expenses on the combined statements of operations. A summary of these costs for the period presented is as follows (in thousands):
 
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016
 
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Charged to property operating expense:
 
 
 
Direct payroll charges

Lease commissions and development fees paid to Legacy Parkway’s personnel and other leasing costs incurred by Parkway Houston are capitalized and amortized over the respective lease term. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Parkway Houston capitalized $154,000 and $258,000, respectively, in commissions and other leasing costs to the properties.

The expenses charged by Legacy Parkway for these services are not necessarily indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred had Parkway Houston been a separate, independent entity.

Note 1—Organization And Basis Of Presentation

Merger and Spin-Off

On October 6, 2016, Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins”) and Parkway Properties, Inc. (“Legacy Parkway”) completed a stock-for-stock merger (the “Legacy Parkway Merger”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 28, 2016 (the “Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement”), by and among Cousins, Clinic Sub Inc., Legacy Parkway and Parkway Properties LP, followed on October 7, 2016 by a spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) of the combined Houston-based assets of both companies (the “Houston Business”) into a new publicly traded real estate investment trust, Parkway, Inc. (the “Company”).

Basis of Presentation

The combined financial statements included herein represent the combined accounts and combined operations of the portion of the Houston Business owned and operated by Cousins (“Cousins Houston”). Cousins Houston includes the combined accounts related to the office properties of Greenway Plaza and Post Oak Central, operated prior to the Legacy Parkway Merger and the Spin-Off through subsidiaries of Cousins for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and certain corporate costs. The assets and liabilities in these combined financial statements represent historical carrying amounts of the following properties:

5,628,000


Cousins Houston is a predecessor, as defined in applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to the Company which commenced operations upon completion of the Spin-Off.

The combined financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by Cousins Houston in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary (which adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of Cousins Houston’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the period from February 7, 2013 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013 included in the Company's Information Statement dated September 27, 2016. The accounting policies employed are substantially the same as those shown in Note 2 to those financial statements.

For the periods presented, there were no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, no presentation of comprehensive income is required.

Allocated Costs

The historical financial results for Cousins Houston include certain allocated corporate costs which Cousins Houston believes are reasonable. These costs were incurred by Cousins and estimated to be applicable to Cousins Houston based on proportionate leasable square footage. Such costs do not necessarily reflect what the actual costs would have been if Cousins Houston were operating as an independent, stand-alone public company. Additionally, the historical results for Cousins Houston include transaction costs that were incurred by Cousins related to the Spin-Off. These costs are discussed further in Note 3—Related Party Transactions.






27


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Cousins Houston's operations ceased on October 6, 2016, and none of the recent accounting pronouncements impacted Cousins Houston's financial statement and notes. Therefore, this section is not applicable.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Real Estate Assets

Cost Capitalization

Cousins Houston capitalizes costs related to property and tenant improvements, including allocated costs of Cousins’ personnel working directly on projects. Cousins Houston capitalizes direct leasing costs related to leases that are probable of being executed. These costs include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement, and costs incurred by personnel of Cousins that are based on time spent on successful leases. Cousins Houston allocates these costs to individual tenant leases and amortizes them over the related lease term.

Impairment

For real estate assets that are considered to be held for sale according to accounting guidance, Cousins Houston records impairment losses if the fair value of the asset net of estimated selling costs is less than the carrying amount. For those long-lived assets that are held and used according to accounting guidance, management reviews each asset for the existence of any indicators of impairment. If indicators of impairment are present, Cousins Houston calculates the expected undiscounted future cash flows to be derived from such assets. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, Cousins Houston reduces the asset to its fair value.

Acquisition of Operating Properties

Cousins Houston records the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of operating property acquisitions at fair value at the acquisition date. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities for an operating property acquisition generally include but are not limited to: land, buildings and improvements, and identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases, including leasing costs, value of above-market and below-market tenant leases, value of above-market and below-market ground leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any.

The fair value of land is derived from comparable sales of land within the same submarket and/or region. The fair value of buildings and improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs are based upon current market replacement costs and other relevant market rate information.

The fair value of the above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is based upon the present value (calculated using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term and (ii) management’s estimate of the rents that would be paid using fair market rental rates and rent escalations at the date of acquisition over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts recorded for above-market and below-market leases are included in intangible assets and intangible liabilities, respectively, and are amortized on a straight-line basis into rental property operating revenues over the remaining terms of the applicable leases.

The fair value of acquired in-place leases is derived based on management’s assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amount recorded for acquired in-place leases is included in intangible assets and amortized as an increase to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable leases.

Depreciation and Amortization

Real estate assets are stated at depreciated cost less impairment losses, if any. Buildings are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 30 to 42 years. The life of a particular building depends upon a number of factors including whether the building was developed or acquired and the condition of the building upon acquisition. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of five years. Tenant improvements, leasing costs and leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the applicable leases or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. Cousins Houston accelerates the depreciation of tenant assets if it estimates that the lease term will end prior to the termination date. This acceleration


28


may occur if a tenant files for bankruptcy, vacates its premises or defaults in another manner on its lease. Deferred expenses are amortized over the period of estimated benefit. Cousins Houston uses the straight-line method for all depreciation and amortization.

Revenue Recognition

Cousins Houston recognizes contractual revenues from leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease. In addition, leases typically provide for reimbursement of the tenants’ share of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses to Cousins Houston. Operating expense reimbursements are recognized as the related expenses are incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Cousins Houston recognized $15.5 million and $29.8 million, respectively, in revenues from tenants for reimbursements of operating expenses.

Cousins Houston makes valuation adjustments to all tenant-related accounts receivable based upon its estimate of the likelihood of collectability. The amount of any valuation adjustment is based on the tenant’s credit and business risk, history of payment, and other factors considered by management.

Income Taxes

Through October 6, 2016, Cousins Houston’s properties were owned by Cousins, a Georgia corporation which has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, Cousins is not subject to federal income tax provided it distributes annually its adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to stockholders and meets certain other organizational and operating requirements. Accordingly, the combined financial statements of Cousins Houston do not include a provision for federal income tax.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly-liquid money market instruments with maturities of three months or less.

Segment Disclosure

Cousins Houston is in the business of the ownership, development and management of office real estate. Cousins Houston has aggregated its office operations into one reportable segment. This segment is the aggregation of the aforementioned Cousins Houston office properties as reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker and is aggregated due to the properties having similar economic and geographic characteristics.

Fair Value Measurements
    
Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices for identical items in active, liquid and visible markets such as stock exchanges. Level 2 fair value inputs are observable information for similar items in active or inactive markets and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations. Level 3 fair value inputs reflect Cousins Houston’s best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. Cousins Houston has no investments for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
    
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3—Related Party Transactions

The combined financial statements include direct payroll costs and benefits for on-site personnel employed by Cousins. These costs are reflected in rental property operating expenses on the Combined Statements of Operations. As described in Note 2, also included are costs for certain functions and services performed by Cousins and these costs were allocated to Cousins Houston based on proportionate leasable square footage which management believes is an appropriate estimate of usage. These costs are reflected as general and administrative expenses on the Combined Statements of Operations. The expenses allocated to Cousins Houston for these services are not necessarily indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred had Cousins


29


Houston been a separate, independent entity that had otherwise managed these functions. A summary of these costs is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 (in thousands):
 
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016
 
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Charged to rental property operating expenses:
 
 
 
Direct payroll charges

Charged to general and administrative expenses:
 
 
 
Office rental expense
88

 
180

Payroll and other expenses
1,711

 
4,796

Leasing commissions paid to Cousins’ personnel and other leasing costs incurred by Cousins are capitalized and amortized over the respective lease term. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, Cousins Houston capitalized $383,000 and $540,000, respectively, in commissions and other leasing costs to the properties.

Note 4—Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Cousins Houston is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. Cousins Houston records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, Cousins Houston accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, Cousins Houston accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, Cousins Houston discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, Cousins Houston discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Cousins Houston does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote or where the estimated loss would not be material. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of Cousins Houston.

Note 5—Subsequent Events

The Legacy Parkway Merger and related separation and reorganization transactions pursuant to the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement were consummated on October 6, 2016, and the Spin-Off was completed on October 7, 2016.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis covers the financial condition and results of operations of Parkway, Inc. (“the Company” and collectively, with its subsidiaries, including Parkway Operating Partnership LP, “we”, “our”, or “us”) and our predecessors, Parkway Houston and Cousins Houston.

Overview

The Company is an independent, publicly traded, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates high-quality office properties located in attractive submarkets in Houston, Texas. At June 30, 2017, we owned or had an interest, including an interest held in an unconsolidated joint venture, in a portfolio consisting of five Class A assets comprising 19 buildings and totaling approximately 8.7 million rentable square feet in the Greenway, Galleria and Westchase submarkets of Houston, providing geographic focus and significant operational scale and efficiencies.

In addition, we offer fee-based real estate services (the “Third-Party Services Business”) through Eola Office Partners, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Eola”), which managed in total approximately 8.7 million square feet, including 5.0 million square feet related to interests held in an unconsolidated joint venture and the remainder related to properties held by third-party property owners, as of June 30, 2017. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to square feet represent net rentable square feet.

Our Pending Merger with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board

On June 29, 2017, the Company, Parkway LP and certain subsidiaries of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which CPPIB will acquire 100% of the Company for $1.2 billion, or $23.05 per share, through a merger of the Company with a subsidiary of CPPIB and the merger of Parkway LP with a subsidiary of CPPIB. The $23.05 per share cash consideration consists of $19.05 per share plus a $4.00 per share special dividend to be paid prior to closing. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company's stockholders.

Our Spin-Off from Cousins

On April 28, 2016, Cousins Properties Incorporated, a Georgia corporation (“Cousins”), and Parkway Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Legacy Parkway”), entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2016 (the “Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement”), by and among Legacy Parkway, Parkway Properties LP (“Parkway LP”), Cousins and Clinic Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins. On October 6, 2016, pursuant to the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Legacy Parkway merged with and into Clinic Sub Inc., with Clinic Sub Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins (the “Legacy Parkway Merger”). Immediately following the effective time of the Legacy Parkway Merger, in accordance with the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, Cousins separated the portion of its combined businesses relating to the ownership of real properties in Houston, Texas, as well as Legacy Parkway’s Third-Party Services Business (together with the Houston real properties, the “Houston Business”), from the remainder of the combined businesses (the “Separation”). In connection with the Separation, Cousins and Legacy Parkway reorganized the combined businesses through a series of transactions (the “UPREIT Reorganization”) pursuant to which the Houston Business was transferred to the Company. On October 7, 2016, Cousins completed the spin-off of the Company, by distributing all of the outstanding shares of common and limited voting stock of the Company to the holders of Cousins common and limited voting preferred stock as of the record date, October 6, 2016 (the “Spin-Off”). Prior to the Spin-Off, we were incorporated on June 3, 2016 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Parkway.

Greenway Properties Joint Venture

On February 17, 2017, we, through Parkway Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and certain other subsidiaries, entered into an Omnibus Contribution and Partial Interest Assignment Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with an affiliate of CPPIB and an entity controlled by TH Real Estate Global Asset Management and Silverpeak Real Estate Partners (“TIAA/SP”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, on April 20, 2017, we completed the sale of an aggregate 49% interest in Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower (collectively, the “Greenway Properties”). As a result, the Operating Partnership, through a joint venture with CPPIB and TIAA/SP (the “Greenway Properties joint venture”), owns a 51% indirect interest in the Greenway Properties (with 1% held by a subsidiary acting as the general partner of the Greenway Properties joint venture and


31


50% held by a subsidiary acting as a limited partner of the Greenway Properties joint venture), and each of CPPIB and TIAA/SP owns a 24.5% indirect interest.

On April 17, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Greenway Properties joint venture (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“Lender”).The Loan Agreement, which was executed while the Borrowers were still wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, provides for a loan in the original principal amount of $465 million (the “Loan”), and was fully funded to the Operating Partnership at the initial closing of the Greenway Properties joint venture on April 17, 2017. The Operating Partnership used the proceeds of the Loan to (i) repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of October 6, 2016, by and among the Operating Partnership, as borrower, the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for a three-year, $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a three-year, $350 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”), and (ii) to fund a credit to the Greenway Properties joint venture with respect to certain outstanding contractual lease obligations and in-process capital expenditures. The Loan has a term of five years, maturing on May 6, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 3.8% per annum. The Loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority mortgage lien against the Borrowers’ fee simple interest in the Greenway Properties (other than the Phoenix Tower asset).

Immediately following the execution of the Loan Agreement and funding of proceeds to the Operating Partnership, CPPIB and TIAA/SP each acquired a 24.5% interest in the Borrowers, and the assets and liabilities, including the Loan, were deconsolidated by the Company. The Greenway Properties joint venture also assumed the existing mortgage debt secured by Phoenix Tower, which had an outstanding balance of approximately $75.9 million at April 17, 2017 and matures on March 1, 2023. The Company recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the termination of the Credit Facility.

Leasing Activity

Rental Rates

An increase in vacancy rates in a market or at a specific property has the effect of reducing market rental rates. Inversely, a decrease in vacancy rates in a market or at a specific property has the effect of increasing market rental rates. Our leases typically have three- to seven-year terms; though from time to time, we may enter into leases with terms that are either shorter or longer than that typical range. As leases expire, we seek to replace existing leases with new leases at the current market rental rate. For our wholly owned properties as of June 30, 2017, management estimates that the average expiring net rental rates are higher than estimated market rates, representing approximately $0.42 per square foot in annual rental rate embedded loss in our office property leases. Embedded growth (loss) is defined as the difference between the weighted average in-place cash rents including operating expense reimbursements and the weighted-average estimated market rental rate.

For our wholly owned properties for the three months ended June 30, 2017, nine leases were renewed totaling approximately 534,000 rentable square feet at an average annual rental rate per square foot of $19.98, and at an average cost of $2.10 per square foot per year of the lease term. Leases totaling approximately 19,000 rentable square feet expired and were not renewed during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

For our wholly owned properties for the three months ended June 30, 2017, three new leases were signed totaling approximately 1,900 rentable square feet at an average annual rental rate per square foot of $22.00 and at an average cost of $8.57 per square foot per year of the term.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations have been prepared for, and are included in, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, solely to provide a useful comparison of the Company’s three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 operating results. The pro forma combined statements of operations supplement the financial statements of the Company, Parkway Houston, and Cousins Houston included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to show the results of Parkway Houston and Cousins Houston on a combined basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, as if the Company had conducted the Houston Business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

On April 28, 2016, Cousins, Legacy Parkway, Parkway LP and Clinic Sub Inc. entered into the Legacy Parkway Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Legacy Parkway merged with and into Clinic Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins, with Clinic Sub Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation of the Legacy Parkway Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins. Upon consummation of the Legacy Parkway Merger, we were initially a wholly owned subsidiary of Cousins. Immediately after the effective time of the Legacy Parkway Merger, our businesses were separated from the remainder of Cousins’ businesses through the Separation and the UPREIT Reorganization. On the business day following the closing of the Legacy Parkway Merger, all of the outstanding shares of our common stock and our limited voting stock were distributed pro rata to the holders of Cousins common stock and Cousins limited voting preferred stock, respectively, including Legacy Parkway common and limited voting stockholders. The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements reflect the distribution ratio of one share of our common stock for every eight shares of Cousins common stock and one share of our limited voting stock for every eight shares of Cousins limited voting preferred stock (the “Distribution Ratio”).

The following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations give effect to the following:

the Legacy Parkway Merger, the Separation, the UPREIT Reorganization, the Spin-Off and the Distribution Ratio;
our post-Separation capital structure;
Cousins LP’s contribution of $5 million to us in exchange for shares of our non-voting preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share;
the payoff of the $114.0 million mortgage debt secured by CityWestPlace I and II that occurred on April 6, 2016; and
the consummation of the Greenway Properties joint venture;
 
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 assume the Separation, UPREIT Reorganization, Spin-Off and the related transactions that occurred on October 6 and 7, 2016, and the final closing of the Greenway Properties joint venture were each consummated on January 1, 2016. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions we believe are reasonable, factually supportable, directly attributable to the Separation, the UPREIT Reorganization, the Spin-Off, and the consummation of Greenway Properties joint venture and for purposes of the statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on our business. Our unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations and explanatory notes present how our statements of operations may have appeared had we completed the above transactions as of January 1, 2016.

The Greenway Properties joint venture is owned 51% by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (with 1% held by a subsidiary acting as the general partner and 50% held by a subsidiary acting as a limited partner) and 24.5% by each of CPPIB and TIAA/SP, each as a limited partner of the joint venture. The Company serves as general partner and also provides property management, construction management and leasing services to the Greenway Properties joint venture. While the Company has significant influence over the operations of the Greenway Properties joint venture, CPPIB and TIAA/SP hold substantive participating rights. As a result, the Company deconsolidated the Greenway Properties and accounts for the retained interest under the equity method.

The Legacy Parkway Merger was accounted for as a “purchase,” as that term is used under GAAP, for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Under purchase accounting, the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities (including executory contracts and other commitments) of Legacy Parkway as of the effective time of the Legacy Parkway Merger were recorded at their respective fair values and added to the assets and liabilities of Cousins. The separation of the assets and liabilities related to the Houston Business from the remainder of Cousins’ businesses in the Separation and the UPREIT Reorganization were at Cousins’ carryover basis after adjusting the Legacy Parkway assets and liabilities to fair value. As a result, our financial statements reflect carryover basis for the Cousins Houston assets and fair value basis for the Parkway Houston assets.




34


While the following unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X (“Article 11”), using the assumptions set forth in the notes to our unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations may not comply with each requirement of Article 11. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are presented for illustrative purposes only in order to facilitate the discussion of our results of operations in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and not in order to comply with any applicable SEC rules or regulations and do not purport to reflect the results we may achieve in future periods or the historical results that would have been obtained had the above transactions been completed on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations also do not give effect to the potential impact of current financial conditions, any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Separation, the UPREIT Reorganization, the Spin-Off, and the consummation of the Greenway Properties joint venture.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do not indicate results expected for any future period. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical combined financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company, Parkway Houston and Cousins Houston appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Pro forma adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations

a. Income from office properties

The pro forma adjustment represents the following items: (i) the deconsolidation of Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower, (ii) the elimination of historical straight-line rents and historical amortization of above- and below-market rents associated with the leases of CityWestPlace and San Felipe Plaza, which were eliminated after the Legacy Parkway Merger, and (iii) the pro forma straight-line rents and amortization of above- and below-market rents associated with CityWestPlace and San Felipe Plaza based on fair values assigned in the Legacy Parkway Merger. The entire lease term was used to calculate the pro forma adjustments for straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market rent. No early termination options in leases were accounted for in the lease term because leases including such options contain penalties substantial enough that the continuation of such leases appears, at inception, to be reasonably assured.

The following table summarizes the adjustments made to income from office properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 (in thousands):

Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis.

The following discussion is a comparison of the Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and on a pro forma basis, the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as if the Company owned the Houston Business and a noncontrolling interest in the Greenway Properties joint venture from January 1, 2016, and does not reflect any other pro forma adjustments. This discussion is for comparison purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations we would have obtained if we had operated the Houston Business as an independent standalone entity during such periods.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $10.5 million and $23.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $2.1 million and $6.0 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Income from Office Properties. Income from office properties was $38.5 million and $108.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $31.5 million and $65.3 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The increase in income from office properties of $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis is attributable to the increase in income from Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower during the three months ended June 30, 2017 for the 16-day period prior to deconsolidation. The increase in income from office properties of $43.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis is attributable to approximately $46.0 million of income being included for Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower during the six months ended June 30, 2017 for the period prior to deconsolidation, partially offset by approximately $2.7 million of move-outs.

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses were $17.6 million and $48.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $15.1 million and $30.5 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower activity prior to the deconsolidation included in the respective periods, partially offset by approximately $1.0 million of property tax refunds received in 2017 related to 2016.

Management Company Income and Expense. Management company income was $2.9 million and $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $2.6 million and $3.5 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The increases in management company income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis were primarily due to increases in third party management fees and salary reimbursements. Management company expense was $4.3 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $4.0 million and $5.5 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The increases in management company expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis were primarily due to increases in asset management fee and commission fee expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to office properties was $12.5 million and $36.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $8.4 million and $16.5 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The increases in depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis are primarily due to additional depreciation expense for Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower of approximately $1.6 million and $14.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, for the period prior to the deconsolidation, as well as capital additions that occurred subsequent to the Spin-Off.

Impairment Loss on Real Estate. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a $15.0 million impairment loss on real estate in connection with the excess of its carrying value over its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, of the properties related to the Greenway Properties joint venture. The Company did not have an impairment loss on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense was $5.7 million and $9.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $3.0 million and $7.1 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The increases in general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis were primarily due to increases in professional fees, including transaction and acquisition costs associated with the pending CPPIB merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.




41


Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income was $692,000 and $900,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $102,000 and $288,000 on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The increases in interest and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis are primarily due to additional interest income earned from certain of the Company's money market cash accounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Venture. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture was $579,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $2.4 million and $4.7 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in equity in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis is primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense in the Greenway Properties joint venture related to capital additions with the remaining variance being attributed to only 75 days of activity being included during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Loss on Sale of Interest in Real Estate. Loss on sale of interest in real estate was $625,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and was related to the deconsolidation of Greenway Plaza and Phoenix Tower. The Company did not have a loss on sale of interest in real estate on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and was related to the payoff of the $350 million Term Loan. The Company did not have a loss on extinguishment of debt on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $4.6 million and $13.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $3.6 million and $7.2 million on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The increases in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 on a pro forma basis are primarily due to 16 days of interest expense associated with the Credit Facility and mortgage note secured by Phoenix Tower for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 on a proforma basis, and 106 days of interest expense associated with the Credit Facility and mortgage note secured by Phoenix Tower for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 on a proforma basis.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $300,000 and $790,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $267,000 and $760,000 on a pro forma basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Notwithstanding the pending merger transaction with CPPIB, for the next 12 months, our principal liquidity needs are to: (i) fund operating expenses; (ii) meet our debt service requirements; (iii) fund capital expenditures; (iv) make distributions to our stockholders, as required for us to qualify as a REIT; and (v) fund acquisitions, investments and commitments. We expect that these liquidity needs generally will be satisfied by a combination of cash flows from operations and a portion of the proceeds from the closing of the Greenway Properties joint venture transaction.

Our long-term liquidity needs include the payment of the principal amount of our long-term debt as it matures, making significant capital expenditures from time to time at our properties and acquiring additional investments that meet our investment criteria. In order to adequately meet these long-term liquidity needs, we anticipate using any of the following funding sources, subject to certain operating covenants in our Merger Agreement with CPPIB: (i) a portion of the proceeds from closing of the Greenway Properties joint venture transaction; (ii) proceeds from the placement of new mortgage loans and refinancing of existing mortgage loans; (iii) proceeds from the sale of assets or portions of wholly owned assets through joint ventures; and (iv) the possible sale of equity or debt securities.

We continually evaluate alternative financing and believe that we can obtain financing on reasonable terms. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property and other asset acquisitions and the funding of tenant improvements and other capital expenditures, and debt refinancing.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were $448.4 million and $230.3 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $218.1 million was primarily due to investing and financing cash proceeds from the sale of an aggregate 49% interest in the Greenway Properties, partially offset by payments on bank borrowings, investment in the Greenway Properties joint venture, improvements to real estate and dividends paid on common stock.

Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017, was $34.4 million and is primarily attributable to the payment of property taxes at our properties.

Cash provided by investing activities was $157.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and is due to proceeds from the sale of an aggregate 49% interest in the Greenway Properties, offset by our investment in the Greenway Properties joint venture and improvements to real estate.

Cash provided by financing activities was $95.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and is primarily attributable to proceeds received from the issuance of a mortgage note payable related to the sale of an aggregate 49% interest in the Greenway Properties, partially offset by repayment on note payable to bank, mortgage notes payable and deferred financing costs, and dividends paid on common stock.

Notes Payable to Banks, Net
    
In connection with the Separation and the UPREIT Reorganization, on October 6, 2016, the Company and the Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement providing for (i) the three-year, $100 million Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the three-year, $350 million Term Loan with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility had an initial maturity date of October 6, 2019, but was subject to a one-year extension option at the election of the Operating Partnership. The exercise of the extension option required the payment of an extension fee and the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions. The credit agreement also permitted the Operating Partnership to utilize up to $15 million of the Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit. Interest on the Credit Facility accrued at a rate based on LIBOR or a base rate plus an applicable margin. The Credit Facility was prepayable at the election of the borrower (upon not less than three business days’ written notice to the administrative agent) without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage fees), and did not require any scheduled repayments of principal prior to the maturity date. The Credit Facility was guaranteed pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement entered into on October 6, 2016, by us, all wholly owned material subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that were not otherwise prohibited from guarantying the Credit Facility, Parkway Properties General Partners, Inc. and Parkway LP.





43


On April 17, 2017, in connection with closing the Greenway Properties joint venture transaction, the Company repaid in full all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility with the proceeds from the Loan described below and terminated the Credit Facility and that certain Guaranty, dated as of October 6, 2016, by the Company, Parkway Properties General Partners, Inc., Parkway LP and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. No early termination penalties were incurred as a result of the termination. The Company recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $7.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the termination of the Credit Facility.

We monitor a number of leverage and other financial metrics including, but not limited to, debt to total asset value ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. In addition, we also monitor interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as the net debt plus preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA - annualized investment activities multiple. The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to Adjusted EBITDA. The interest coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 4.1 times. The fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued, principal payments made on mortgage loans and preferred dividends accrued to Adjusted EBITDA. The fixed charge coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 3.2 times. The net debt plus preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA - annualized investment activities multiple is computed by comparing our net debt plus preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA for the current quarter, as annualized and adjusted pro forma for any completed investment activities. The net debt plus preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA - annualized investment activities multiple for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.7 times. Management believes various leverage and other financial metrics it monitors provide useful information on total debt levels as well as our ability to cover interest, principal and/or preferred dividend payments. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures—EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA” for additional information regarding these ratios.

Equity

In September 2016, we adopted the Parkway, Inc. and Parkway Operating Partnership LP 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), pursuant to which the following types of awards may be granted to our employees, directors and consultants: (i) options, including nonstatutory stock options and incentive stock options; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) restricted shares; (iv) restricted stock units; (v) profits interest units (LTIP units); (vi) dividend equivalents; (vii) other forms of awards payable in or denominated by reference to shares of common stock; or (viii) cash. The Registration Statement on Form S-8, filed with the SEC on October 7, 2016, covered (i) 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus (ii) up to 1,300,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to equity awards of the Company resulting from awards originally granted under Legacy Parkway’s equity incentive plan that were assumed by the Company in connection with the Legacy Parkway Merger and the Spin-Off (the “Assumed Awards”). Ultimately, there were 1,002,596 Assumed Awards granted in connection with the Legacy Parkway Merger and the Spin-Off, such that the total number of shares reserved under the 2016 Plan is 6,002,596 shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of June 30, 2017, there were 209,125 time-vesting restricted stock units, 283,099 performance-vesting restricted stock units and 773,617 options to purchase shares of our common stock outstanding under the 2016 Plan.

Dividends

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”) and as authorized by our board of directors, we declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.10 per share of common stock to holders of record of our common stock on both March 16, 2017 and June 16, 2017. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid $9.8 million in dividends to our common stockholders and $192,000 to the common unitholders of our Operating Partnership. In addition, we declared a dividend in the amount of $4,000 per share of Series A non-voting preferred stock to Cousins LP, the holder of record of all outstanding shares of such stock. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid $200,000 in preferred dividends to Cousins. These dividends and distributions were funded with cash flow from our properties.

We believe that we have qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We intend to make regular distributions to our stockholders to satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT.

Our dividends may be funded from a variety of sources. In particular, we expect that, initially, our dividends may exceed our net income under GAAP because of non-cash expenses, mainly depreciation and amortization expense, which are included in net income. To the extent that our funds available for distribution are less than the amount we must distribute to our stockholders to satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT, we may consider various means to cover any such shortfall, including borrowings, selling certain of our assets or using a portion of the net proceeds we receive from future offerings of equity, equity-related securities or debt securities or declaring taxable share dividends. In addition, the outstanding shares of Series A non-voting preferred stock have a dividend preference that ranks senior to our common stock, and our Charter allows us to issue additional shares of preferred equity that could have a preference on dividends. Such dividend preferences on preferred equity could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations including mortgage notes payable and purchase obligations.  The table below presents total payments due under specified contractual obligations by year through maturity at June 30, 2017 (in thousands):

Capital Expenditures

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid $21.0 million in capital expenditures on a consolidated basis. These costs include building improvements, tenant improvements and leasing costs. All such improvements were financed with cash flow from the properties and capital expenditure escrow accounts.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in “Note 4—Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture” and “Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies” of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our investments are generally made in office properties. Therefore, we are generally subject to risks incidental to the ownership of real estate. Some of these risks include changes in supply or demand for office properties or customers for such properties in an area in which we have buildings; changes in real estate tax rates; and changes in federal income tax, real estate and zoning laws. Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and our majority owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest. We also consolidate subsidiaries where the entity is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates.


45


The accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are more fully described in “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. However, certain of our significant accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies due to the increased level of assumptions used or estimates made in determining their impact on our consolidated financial statements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations, Recurring FFO and Funds Available for Distribution

Management believes that funds from operations (“FFO”) is an appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs and computes this measure in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO (including any guidance that NAREIT releases with respect to the definition). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), reduced by preferred dividends, excluding gains or losses from the sale of previously depreciable real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate under GAAP, depreciation and amortization related to depreciable real estate and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures. Further, we do not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. We believe that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. FFO measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership in which the Company owns an interest.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to FFO attributable to the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (in thousands):

In addition to FFO, we also disclose recurring FFO (“Recurring FFO”), which excludes transaction and acquisition costs or other unusual items. Although this is a non-GAAP measure that differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO, we believe it provides a meaningful presentation of operating performance because it allows investors to compare our operating performance to our performance in prior reporting periods without the effect of items that by their nature are not comparable from period to period and tend to obscure our actual operating results. Recurring FFO measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership in which the Company owns an interest.

In addition to FFO and recurring FFO, we also disclose funds available for distribution (“FAD”). There is not a generally accepted definition established for FAD. Therefore, our measure of FAD may not be comparable to FAD reported by other REITs. We define FAD as FFO, excluding straight-line rents, amortization of below market leases, net, share-based compensation expense, amortization of loan costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of mortgage interest premium, reduced by capital expenditures for building improvements, tenant improvements and leasing costs, and adjustments to derive our pro rata share of FAD of unconsolidated joint ventures. FAD measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership in which the Company owns an interest.

We believe that using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure helps investors and our management analyze our ability to service debt. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We further adjust EBITDA to exclude share-based compensation expense, impairment of real estate, gains and losses on sales of real estate, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, and transaction and acquisition costs which we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjustments for the Operating Partnership's share of joint ventures are included in the computation of Adjusted EBITDA on the same basis. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical


47


tools, we compensate for the limitations by only using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement GAAP financial measures. Additionally, we believe that investors should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income (loss) and the other required GAAP measures of our performance to improve their understanding of our operating results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measure 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership in which the Company owns an interest.

Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income (loss), or cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net Operating Income

We define net operating income (“NOI”) as income from office properties less property operating expenses. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because it reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs not otherwise reflected in net income (loss). NOI measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership in which the Company owns an interest.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on us because of the relatively low inflation rate in our geographic area of operation. Additionally, most of our leases require customers to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, utilities and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation. Our leases typically have three to ten year terms, which may enable us to replace existing leases with new leases at market base rent, which may be higher or lower than the existing lease rate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
    
As of June 30, 2017, our outstanding debt consisted of a total of approximately $369.5 million in fixed-rate mortgage debt on three of our consolidated properties. As a result, our future income and cash flows are not generally dependent upon prevailing market interest rates and other market risks.

As described above in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Credit Facility,” on April 17, 2017, in connection with the Greenway Properties joint venture, the Company repaid in full all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility with the proceeds from the new Loan and terminated the Credit Facility.

For additional information, see information appearing under the captions “Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCredit Facility” and “Liquidity and Capital ResourcesMortgage Notes Payable, Net” appearing in “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
    
Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules that generally require every company that files reports with the SEC to evaluate its effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. Our management is not required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting until the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”), due to a transition period established by SEC rules applicable to new public companies. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not address whether there have been any changes in internal control over financial reporting. We intend to include an evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting in our 2017 Form 10-K.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On August 2, 2017, a purported federal securities class action related to the Merger Agreement, Price v. Parkway, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action No. 4:17-cv-2367, against the Company and the members of the Company's board of directors. On August 9, 2017, another purported federal securities class action related to the Merger Agreement, Scarantino v. Parkway, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action No. 4:17-cv-02441, against the Company, Parkway LP, CPPIB, certain affiliates of CPPIB and the members of the Company's board of directors. Each lawsuit, which purports to have been brought on behalf of all holders of the Company's common stock, generally alleges that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company with the SEC on July 27, 2017 failed to disclose material information about the pending merger transaction with CPPIB. Each complaint seeks to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with the stockholder vote on the Company-level merger at the special meeting or consummating the merger transaction unless and until the Company discloses the allegedly omitted information. Each complaint also seeks damages allegedly suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of the asserted omission, as well as related attorneys’ fees and expenses. The defendants believe that all of the allegations against them lack merit and intend to defend against the lawsuits vigorously.

Stockholders may file additional lawsuits challenging the pending merger transaction or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may name the Company, Parkway LP, CPPIB, certain affiliates of CPPIB, members of the board of directors or others as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the lawsuits described above, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the pending merger transaction on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the transaction in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the transaction from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiff’s claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.

In addition, we and our subsidiaries may be involved from time to time in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes, environmental matters and litigation in connection with transactions including acquisitions and divestitures. We believe that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or our results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to potential risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 1A-Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, we also are subject to the following risks:

The pending merger transaction with CPPIB may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all.
 
The completion of the pending merger transaction with CPPIB is subject to certain conditions, including (i) approval by our stockholders; (ii) receipt by CPPIB of an opinion that we will qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and (iii) other closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. While it is currently anticipated that the merger transaction will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017, there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an effect, event, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. 

If the pending merger transaction with CPPIB is completed, our stockholders will forgo the opportunity to benefit from potential future appreciation in the value of the Company.
 
If the pending merger transaction with CPPIB is consummated, stockholders will no longer hold interests in the Company and, therefore, will not be entitled to benefit from any potential future appreciation in the value of the Company.  In addition, in the absence of the merger transaction, the Company could have various opportunities to enhance its value, including, but not limited to, entering into a transaction that values the shares of common stock higher than the value provided for in the Merger Agreement.  Therefore, if the merger transaction is completed, stockholders will forgo future appreciation, if any, in the value of the Company and the opportunity to participate in any other potential transactions that may have resulted in a higher price per share than the price to be paid in the merger transaction.     



52


If the pending merger transaction with CPPIB is not consummated by December 31, 2017 (unless extended under certain circumstances), either of us or CPPIB may terminate the Merger Agreement.
 
We or CPPIB may terminate the Merger Agreement if the pending merger transaction has not been consummated by December 31, 2017, subject to extension to March 29, 2018 if the Company has not held the meeting of stockholders by such time. We or CPPIB also may terminate the Merger Agreement (i) by mutual written consent; (ii) if there is a final and non-appealable order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the merger transaction; (iii) if our stockholders fail to approve the Company-level merger; (iv) if the other party has breached its representations or covenants in a way that prevents satisfaction of a closing condition, subject to a cure period; (v) with respect to us, in order to enter into a superior proposal; or (vi) with respect to CPPIB, if our Board of Directors has made a change in its recommendation to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the Company-level merger.

The pending merger transaction may not be completed, which may adversely affect our business.

If the pending merger transaction with CPPIB is not completed for any reason, the trading price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the market price of the common stock reflects positive market assumptions that the merger will be completed and the related benefits will be realized. We may also be subject to additional risks if the mergers are not completed, including:

the requirement in the Merger Agreement that, under certain circumstances, we pay CPPIB a termination fee of $26.4 million or an expense reimbursement amount of up to $10 million;
incurring substantial costs related to the merger transaction, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and integration costs that have already been incurred or will continue to be incurred until closing;
reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the merger transaction; and
potential disruption to our business and distraction of our workforce and management team to pursue other opportunities that could be beneficial to the Company, in each case without realizing any of the benefits of having the merger transaction completed.

The pendency of the merger transaction with CPPIB could adversely affect our business and operations and may result in the departure of key personnel.

The pendency of the merger transaction with CPPIB could adversely affect our business and operations and may result in the departure of key personnel. In connection with the pending merger transaction, some of our customers may delay or defer decisions or may end their relationships with us, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings and cash flows, regardless of whether the mergers are completed.  In addition, due to operating restrictions in the Merger Agreement, the Company may be unable, during the pendency of the merger transaction to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial. Similarly, our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us following the merger transaction, which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the merger transaction.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquiror of the Company or could result in any competing acquisition proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.
 
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or facilitate any acquisition proposal.  With respect to any written, bona fide acquisition proposal that the Company receives, CPPIB generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Merger Agreement in response to such proposal before the Company’s board of directors may withdraw or modify its recommendation to stockholders in response to such acquisition proposal or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition proposal.  Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances relating to an acquisition proposal, the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of $26.4 million to CPPIB.
 
These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Company’s business from considering or making a competing acquisition proposal, even if the potential competing acquiror was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash value than that market value proposed to be received or realized in the merger transaction, or might cause a potential competing acquiror to propose to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee and expense reimbursement that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.



53


The Chairman of our Board of Directors and our executive officers have interests in seeing the pending merger transaction completed that are different from, or in addition to, those of our other stockholders.

The Chairman of our Board of Directors and our executive officers have interests in the pending merger transaction that are different from other stockholders of the Company. Some of these interests include:

At the effective time of the Company merger, each outstanding option (whether vested or unvested) to purchase shares of our common stock under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), including those options held by certain of our executive officers, will automatically be canceled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the total number of shares of common stock subject to the option immediately prior to the mergers, multiplied by the excess, if any, of $23.05 (the per share transaction consideration) over the exercise price per share of common stock under the option, less applicable withholding taxes.
At the effective time of the Company merger, any vesting conditions applicable to each outstanding time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) under the Stock Plan, including those RSUs held by our executive officers, will automatically accelerate in full, all restrictions will automatically lapse, and each RSU will automatically be canceled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of shares of common stock subject to the RSU immediately prior to the effective time of the Company merger, multiplied by $19.05 (the per share merger consideration), plus the value of all dividend equivalents with respect to the RSUs (including the special dividend), less applicable withholding taxes.
At the effective time of the Company merger, any vesting conditions applicable to each outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit (“PSU”), including those PSUs held by our executive officers, will automatically accelerate based on the greater of deemed achievement of target performance or actual performance (where the applicable performance goals are pro-rated through the Company merger effective time), and all restrictions will automatically lapse, and each PSU will automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of shares of common stock subject to the PSU immediately prior to the mergers (after taking into account the accelerated vesting described above), multiplied by $19.05 (the per share merger consideration), plus the value of all dividend equivalents with respect to the PSUs (including the special dividend), less applicable withholding taxes.
Our executive officers are expected to continue their employment with the Company after the closing of the mergers. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of our executive officers entered into a letter agreement with CPPIB and the Company dated June 29, 2017, which upon its effectiveness will serve as an amendment (each, an “Amendment”) to the executive officer’s existing Employment Agreement, dated December 12, 2016 (each, an “Employment Agreement”). The Amendments are effective upon the closing of the mergers in accordance with the Merger Agreement and are conditioned upon the occurrence of the closing of the mergers and each executive officer’s continued employment with the Company through the closing of the mergers. Under the Amendments, among other things, upon closing under the Merger Agreement, each executive officer (i) is eligible for a payment equal to the sum of 2.0 (or in the case of Mr. James R. Heistand, 2.9) times the sum of the executive officer’s current base salary and current target bonus, plus a pro-rated target bonus for 2017 equal to the executive officer’s target bonus pro-rated from January 1, 2017 through the date of the closing of the mergers, provided that the executive officer remains employed by the Company through the date immediately preceding the date of the closing under the Merger Agreement and (ii) has waived the right to terminate employment for “good reason” as a result of the mergers or the Amendment. It is expected that Management will re-invest in the acquisition vehicle an amount equal to the lesser of 1% of the equity interests in the acquisition vehicle and $8 million after the closing of the mergers.
Pursuant to an existing agreement with James A. Thomas, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, we are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause CPPIB to offer Mr. Thomas and certain of his affiliates (x) the opportunity to receive, in exchange for their partnership units in Parkway LP, a preferred equity interest in Parkway LP as the surviving entity in the partnership merger (i) with a liquidation preference over the common equity interest equal to the cash Mr. Thomas and certain of his affiliates otherwise would have received had they exchanged their partnership units in Parkway LP for shares of Parkway’s common stock immediately prior to the mergers, and (ii) a market dividend (provided that in any event, a dividend rate of at least 5% is deemed satisfactory regardless of market conditions) and (y) the opportunity to provide a debt guarantee or enter into a contribution agreement comparable to certain arrangements currently in force for the remainder of a five-year period beginning on October 13, 2016.
Mr. Thomas and certain of his affiliates, and each of our executive officers, are limited partners of Parkway LP. Accordingly, in connection with the mergers, they will receive the same consideration for each of their partnership units as the other common unitholders in Parkway LP, which consists of the per unit special dividend of $4.00 that we have agreed to pay, and in addition to the special dividend, per unit merger consideration in cash equal to the per share merger consideration, without interest, except that each such outside limited partner may elect, in lieu of the cash per unit merger consideration, to have such holder’s common units of limited partnership interest exchanged into an equal number of new partnership preferred units in the surviving partnership.


54


An adverse judgment in one or more lawsuits challenging the pending merger transaction with CPPIB may prevent the transaction from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.

The Company and the members of our board of directors have been named as defendants in two purported federal securities class actions purportedly brought on behalf of all holders of the Company's common stock challenging the pending merger transaction with CPPIB. Each lawsuit generally seeks, among other things, to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with the stockholder vote on the Company-level merger at the special meeting or consummating the merger transaction unless and until the Company discloses the allegedly omitted information. Each complaint also seeks damages allegedly suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of the asserted omission, as well as related attorneys’ fees and expenses. The defendants believe that all of the allegations against them lack merit and intend to defend against the lawsuits vigorously.

Stockholders may file additional lawsuits challenging the pending merger transaction or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may name the Company, members of the board of directors or others as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the lawsuits described above, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the pending merger transaction on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the transaction in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the transaction from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiff’s claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.
