Persons who held shares of common stock of Duke Realty Corporation in their name at any time during 2022 will receive an IRS Form 1099-DIV via EQ - Equiniti, Duke Realty Corporation's transfer agent. Persons who held shares in "street name" during 2022 should note that the Form 1099-DIV will be provided by a bank, brokerage firm or nominee.  Additional information herein may be needed to properly complete a federal tax return.

Please note that federal tax laws affect taxpayers differently, and we cannot advise on how distributions should be reported.
