Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01.    Other Events

We expect to file a registration statement on Form S-3 during November 2011 in order to renew our Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. In connection with the expected filing, we have reclassified the operations of certain properties that have either sold or were classified as held for sale subsequent to December 31, 2010 within our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements that were previously filed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We are required to report in discontinued operations the results of operations of a property that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, unless certain conditions are met. We are also required to reclassify results of operations from a property disposed, or classified as held for sale, as income from discontinued operations during all reported periods. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to set forth audited consolidated financial statements of Duke Realty Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, including revised notes thereto, which reflect the reclassification of the operations of certain properties to discontinued operations.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, we sold or held for sale nine properties owned by us and not classified as held for sale at December 31, 2010. The results of operations from such properties have been reclassified as income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements. There is no effect on the previously reported net income available for common shareholders.

Management does not believe that this reclassification has a material effect on our selected consolidated financial data or management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 as previously reported in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We are not revising Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K given the insignificance of the reclassified amounts.
