Easterly Government Properties Announces Share Repurchase Program

Easterly Government Properties, Inc. (NYSE: DEA) (the “Company” or “Easterly”), a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties leased to the U.S. Government, announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 4,538,994 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of its outstanding shares as of the authorization date.

Under the share repurchase program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.

“This new share repurchase program is a tool to ensure alignment with our consistent commitment to allocating capital in a way we believe drives the greatest value for shareholders,” said Meghan G. Baivier, Easterly’s Chief Financial and Operating Officer.

This action will take place in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s decision to repurchase its shares, as well as the timing of such repurchases, will depend on a variety of factors that include the ongoing assessment of the Company’s capital needs, market conditions and the price of the Company’s common stock and other corporate considerations, all as determined by management. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.
