ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

      On June 27, 2000, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation
(the "Company"), Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership of which
the Company is the sole general partner ("Mack-Cali Partnership"), Prentiss
Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("Prentiss"), and
Prentiss Properties Acquisition Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
of which Prentiss (through a wholly-owned direct subsidiary) is the sole general
partner ("Prentiss Partnership"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement"). The Merger Agreement provides for a merger of Prentiss
with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company being the surviving
corporation and, immediately prior to the Merger, a merger of Prentiss
Partnership with and into Mack-Cali Partnership (or a limited liability company
or limited partnership owned entirely directly or indirectly by Mack-Cali
Partnership) (the "Partnership Merger" and, together with the Merger, the
"Mergers").

      Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Prentiss common shares will be
exchanged for the Company's common shares at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.956.
The exchange ratio is not subject to change based on changes in the market
prices of either company's common stock and there is no "collar" for the
exchange ratio.

      Subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, applicable
approval from the shareholders of both the Company and Prentiss, the Company
expects to consummate the Mergers in the fourth quarter of 2000.

      To prevent the triggering of the Company's Amended and Restated
Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of March 7, 2000 (the "Rights Agreement"),
in connection with the Mergers the Company amended its Rights Agreement. This
amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

      A description of the Mergers is contained in the June 28, 2000 press
release by the Company, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K of the Company
dated June 27, 2000, and incorporated herein by reference. The Merger
Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
