Edwards & Sons, Inc., Robert W. Baird & Co., Incorporated and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the “Underwriters”). The Additional Notes were issued upon the exercise by the Underwriters of an over-allotment option granted by WRIT. WRIT previously issued $135,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Convertible Notes due September 15, 2026 on January 22, 2007 (the “Initial Notes” and, together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”). The issuance of the Additional Notes brings the total aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding to $150,000,000.

The Notes were issued pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-136921), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 28, 2006, and declared automatically effective on the same date. A Prospectus Supplement dated January 17, 2007 relating to the Notes (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and supplementing the Prospectus dated August 28, 2006 (the “Prospectus”) was filed with the SEC on January 17, 2007 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The specific pricing and other terms of the Notes are summarized in WRIT’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 23, 2007 (the “Previous 8-K”).
