Item 8.01 Other Events

Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”) anticipates filing one or more registration statements relating to debt securities of Piedmont Operating Partnership, LP (the "Operating Partnership"), guaranteed by the Registrant. When one or more registration statements becomes effective, the Registrant will become subject to the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X regarding financial statements of guarantors and issuers of guaranteed registered securities. As a result, the Registrant is filing this Current Report on Form 8−K (the “Form 8−K”) for the purpose of adding an additional footnote to the financial statements originally presented in the the Registrant’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (the "First Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q"). Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference, includes an additional footnote (“Note 14: Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information”) with condensed consolidating financial information for the Registrant, the Operating Partnership, and the non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Additionally, the 1111 Durham Avenue building was reclassified from real estate assets held-for-use to real estate assets held-for-sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 contained in Exhibit 99.1 to conform with its presentation in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant on June 4, 2013.

This Form 8−K will permit the Registrant to incorporate these financial statements by reference, or otherwise, in future Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. The information in this Form 8−K is not an amendment to or restatement of the First Quarter 2013 Form 10−Q.

No other items in the First Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q, other than the additional footnote and the presentation of the 1111 Durham Avenue building as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2012 identified above, are being updated by this filing. Information in the First Quarter 2013 Form 10-Q is generally stated as of May 2, 2013, and this filing does not reflect any subsequent information or events other than the additional footnote disclosure described above. This Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as originally filed on February 27, 2013 and as recast on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 4, 2013, as well as the Registrant’s other filings with the SEC.
