Important Proxy News

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR VOTING INSTRUCTIONS TODAY!

Dear Stockholder:

Recently, we distributed proxy materials regarding the Special Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for January 20, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. To date, our records indicate that we have not received your voting instructions.

After careful consideration, your Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposals presented in the proxy materials. Your vote is important no matter how many shares you own. We urge you to act promptly in order to allow us to obtain a sufficient number of votes and avoid the cost of additional solicitation.

If you should have any questions regarding the proposal, or require duplicate proxy materials, please contact an Investor Services Specialist at 1-800-557-4830. Representatives are available Monday through Thursday from 8:15 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. and Friday from 8:15 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (ET).

For your convenience, please utilize any of the following methods to submit your voting instructions:

1. By Internet.

Enter the control number located on your proxy card(s) and follow the simple online instructions.

2. By Touch-Tone Phone.

Dial the toll-free number found on your proxy card and follow the simple instructions.

3. By Mail.

Simply execute and return the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided. However, we encourage you to use Internet voting or phone voting to register your voting instructions, as it saves Piedmont significant postage and processing costs. In addition, when you vote via the Internet or by phone prior to the meeting date, your vote is recorded immediately.

If you have already submitted voting instructions by utilizing one of these methods, then you do not need to take any action.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR VOTING INSTRUCTIONS TODAY!

THANK YOU!
