Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 22, 2016, Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“Washington REIT”) closed on the second of two separate purchase and sale agreements. On April 27, 2016, Washington REIT reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K that it had entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements with BSREP II Office Holding LLC to effectuate the sale of six suburban Maryland office assets, encompassing in total approximately 1.2 million net rentable square feet. The sales prices under the two agreements aggregate to $240.0 million.

The properties, purchase prices and closing dates under each of the purchase and sale agreements are as follows:

Purchase and Sale Agreement #1 ($111.5 million; closed on June 27, 2016):
 
1.
West Gude Drive
 
2.
600 Jefferson Plaza
 
3.
6110 Executive Boulevard
 
4.
Wayne Plaza
Purchase and Sale Agreement #2 ($128.5 million; closed on September 22, 2016):
 
1.
One Central Plaza
 
2.
51 Monroe Street

The purchase and sale agreements contain representations and warranties the parties thereto made to and solely for the benefit of each other, and such representations and warranties should not be relied upon by any other person.

The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for the purposes of the purchase and sale agreements and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by and between the Washington REIT and the other parties thereto in connection with negotiating the purchase and sale agreements. Accordingly, security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties as accurate or complete or characterizations of the actual state of facts as of any specified date because such representations and warranties are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to security holders and were used only for the purposes of conducting certain limited due diligence inquiries and allocating risks and not for establishing all material facts with respect to the matters addressed.

WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with Washington REIT's the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Washington REIT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Washington REIT's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Washington REIT's actual results of operations would have been had the transaction been consummated on the dates indicated, nor does it purport to represent Washington REIT's results of operations or financial position for any future period. The pro forma statements of income for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for these periods.

Washington REIT entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements with BSREP II Office Holding LLC on April 27, 2016 to effectuate the sale of six suburban Maryland office assets, encompassing in total approximately 1.2 million net rentable square feet. Purchase and Sale Agreement #1, for the sales of West Gude Drive, 600 Jefferson Plaza, 6110 Executive Boulevard and Wayne Plaza for a contract sale price of $111.5 million, closed on June 27, 2016. Purchase and Sale Agreement #2, for the sale of One Central Plaza and 51 Monroe Street for a contract sale price of $128.5 million, closed on September 22, 2016. We intend to use the sales proceeds to partially fund an acquisition through a reverse tax deferred exchange and for general corporate purposes. The acquisition is not reflected in the pro forma consolidated financial statements.

The pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 presents consolidated financial information as if the sales of the properties included in Purchase and Sale Agreement #2 had taken place on June 30, 2016. Washington REIT's unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 already reflects the sales of the properties included in Purchase and Sale Agreement #1. The pro forma statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the six months ended June 30, 2016, present the pro forma results of operations as if the dispositions of the properties included in both Purchase and Sale Agreements #1 and 2 had taken place as of January 1, 2015. Explanations or details of the pro forma adjustments are in the notes to the financial statements.

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016 of Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“Washington REIT”) gives effect to the disposition of the properties included in Purchase and Sale Agreement #2 as if it had occurred on June 30, 2016.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 give effect to the dispositions of the properties included in both Purchase and Sale Agreements # 1 and 2 as if these dispositions had occurred on January 1, 2015.

This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Washington REIT’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had these transactions been consummated on the dates indicated, nor does it purport to represent Washington REIT’s results of operations or financial position for any future period. The pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for these periods.
