1 322 STATE HIGHWAY 322 LAKE JACKSON, TEXAS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY [ HFF 1 ]

2 HFF has been exclusively retained to sell a fee-simple interest in the Dow Administration Building (the Property ), a recently constructed suburban Class A office building that is located in Lake Jackson, Texas and is 100% leased to The Dow Chemical Company ( Dow ) (BBB/Baa2) through February 28, 2030 (13.6 years of remaining term). Dow is currently the second largest chemical company in the world, as ranked by total revenue, and is under definitive agreement to merge with DuPont, the eighth-ranked chemical company by revenue, in what will create DowDuPont. The Property consists of a four-story, LEED Gold Certified (Core and Shell) office building with 230,000 rentable square feet on a 13.4-acre site that offers a generous surface parking area with approximately 4.5 spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet. The state-of-the art construction and large open floor plates offer tremendous flexibility for Dow. On-site amenities are available to Dow employees (past and present) at the adjacent Amenities Building, and include a cafeteria, pharmacy, fitness center, and a full-service first response health clinic, creating a true corporate campus in feel and function. The Dow Chemical Company has been an integral part of the Lake Jackson and Freeport community for 76 years, having founded Lake Jackson in the early 1940 s when it faced a housing shortage and sought out the ideal site to build housing for its employees. The Company continues to make investments in the community and the production facility that currently produces 44% of its products that are sold in the United States and over 20% of its products sold internationally. Dow just delivered a new world scale propylene production facility in December 2015, and is currently developing a new world scale ethylene production facility in addition to spending $4.0 billion to expand capacity at its Freeport plant. It is safe to say that the Dow name is synonymous with Lake Jackson and Freeport, and the Company is committed to the continued growth in this strategic market. The Property is being offered free and clear of existing financing, allowing investors the flexibility to deploy an optimal amount of equity or take advantage of today s historically-attractive debt markets.

Dow currently boasts investment-grade ratings by all three of the largest credit rating agencies with stable outlook, and is projected to maintain substantially similar ratings upon the closing of the announced merger with DuPont. Desirable Net Lease Structure The net lease holds the Tenant responsible for all property operating expenses, as well as non-structural repairs. As a result, the Tenant will ensure that Property maintains the attractive image and reputation as a best-in-class office building throughout the term of lease. In addition, contractual rent increases averaging 1.67% annually over the remaining hold period serve as a hedge against unforeseen capital costs and general inflationary risks, while improving the loan economics with each escalation. In the event the Lease is terminated prior to the expiration of the initial Lease term as a result of an event of default or the Lease is terminated at the end of the initial Lease term, the Tenant shall at its expense restore the Premises to general office condition of comparable quality to Class A suburban office buildings in Houston, Lake Jackson, Katy Freeway, Pearland, Sugar Land, Energy Corridor and surrounding area.
