The notice provides that Brookfield Office Properties may, during the twelve month period commencing September 22, 2013 and ending September 21, 2014, purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX, up to 15,161,401 common shares, representing approximately 3.0% of its issued and outstanding common shares.

This limitation does not apply to purchases made pursuant to block purchase exemptions and purchases made on another exchange.
The price to be paid for the shares under the normal course issuer bid will be the market price at the time of purchase.
