Piedmont Realty Trust, Inc.

There have been no known material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, other than as set forth below in this Item 1A.

Adverse U.S. and global economic conditions could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and liquidity.

A general slowdown in the U.S. or global economy, uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, efforts of governments to stimulate or stabilize the economy and other unfavorable changes in economic conditions, such as inflation, higher interest rates, tightening of the credit markets, recession or slowing growth, as well as an increase in trade tensions and related tariffs with U.S. trading partners, could negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity, and the business and operations of our tenants. Macroeconomic weakness and uncertainty may also make it more difficult to accurately forecast operating results and raise or refinance debt. Sustained uncertainty about, or worsening of, current global economic conditions and further tariffs and escalations of trade tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners and the decoupling of the global economies could result in an economic slowdown. Given this uncertainty, we cannot predict the impact, if any, of these conditions to our business.
