Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On September 28, 2006, the operating partnership of Cogdell Spencer Inc., Cogdell Spencer LP (the “Operating Partnership”) issued an aggregate of 289,197 units of limited partnership interest (the “OP Units”), having an aggregate value of approximately $5.9 million. These OP Units were issued in exchange for ownership interests in limited liability companies as part of private placement transactions under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In light of the manner of sale and information obtained by the Operating Partnership from persons receiving OP Units in connection with these transactions, the Operating Partnership believes it may rely on this exemption. OP Units are redeemable for the cash equivalent thereof at any time one year after the date of issuance, or, at the option of the Company and Operating Partnership, exchangeable into shares of common stock in the Company on a one-for-one basis. No underwriters were used in connection with such issuance.
