SEC FILE NO: 333-43745
STICKER SUPPLEMENT DATED AUGUST 26, 1998
TO PROSPECTUS DATED FEBRUARY 10, 1998, OF
HIGHWOODS PROPERTIES, INC.
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT IS TO REPLACE THE
INFORMATION SET FORTH UNDER THE CAPTION "SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS" IN THE
ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS. CAPITALIZED TERMS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
HAVE THE MEANINGS SET FORTH IN THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE ACCOMPANYING
PROSPECTUS.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
This Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus relate to
the offer and sale by the holders thereof from time to time of up to (i) 117,617
shares (the "Original Shares") of the Company's Common Stock; (ii) 2,972,524
shares (the "Redemption Shares") of Common Stock by which shares may be issued
by the Company to the extent that holders of up to 2,972,524 Common Units
exercise their right to redeem such Units and the Company elects to satisfy such
redemption right through the issuance of Common Stock; (iii) 1,444,290 shares
(the "Warrants Shares") of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of up to
1,444,290 Warrants, which Warrants may be deemed to be held by affiliates of the
Company; and (iv) 1,479,290 Warrants.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or to contribute to payments the
Selling Securityholders may be required to make in respect thereof. Insofar as
indemnification of the Selling Securityholders for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted pursuant to such agreements, the Company has
been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
Because the Selling Securityholders may offer all or some of the
Securities, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or
understandings with respect to the sale of any of the Securities that will be
held by the Selling Securityholders after completion of the offering, no
estimate can be given as to the principal amount of the Securities that will be
held by the Selling Securityholders after completion of the offering.
The Selling Securityholders and any broker or dealer to or through whom
any of the Securities are sold may be deemed to be underwriters within the
meaning of the Securities Act with respect to the Securities offered hereby, and
any profits realized by the Selling Securityholders or such brokers or dealers
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions. Brokers' commissions and dealers'
discounts, taxes and other selling expenses to be borne by the Selling
Securityholders are not expected to exceed normal selling expenses for sales.
The registration of the offering of the Securities by the Selling
Securityholders under the Securities Act shall not be deemed an admission by the
Selling Securityholders or the Company that the Selling Securityholders are
underwriters for
<PAGE>
purposes of the Securities Act of any Securities offered under this Prospectus.
The Securities offered by this Prospectus may be offered from time to
time by the Selling Securityholders named below. The following table provides
the name of each Selling Securityholder and the number of shares of Common Stock
or Warrants beneficially owned and offered hereby by each Selling
Securityholder. The number of shares of Common Stock provided in the following
table includes the number of shares that may be acquired by each Selling
Securityholder upon redemption of Units or upon exercise of Warrants.
The Securities offered by this Prospectus may be offered from time to
time by the Selling Securityholders named below:
