For Immediate Release

MPG Office Trust Accepts Resignation of President and CEO

Chairman of the Board, Paul Watson, to Serve as Interim CEO

Company will Continue to Execute Strategic Plan

Los Angeles, CA (November 11, 2010) – MPG Office Trust, Inc. (NYSE: MPG), a Southern California focused real estate investment trust, announced today that it has accepted the resignation of its President and Chief Executive Officer, effective November 15, 2010.

The letter submitted by Nelson C. Rising states: “I believe the Board of Directors and I do not share a common vision for the strategic direction of the Company and a capital structure necessary to achieve it.”

Pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, Chairman of the Board, Paul M. Watson, will serve as interim Chief Executive Officer upon effectiveness of Mr. Rising’s resignation until a new Chief Executive Officer is named. Mr. Watson is the retired Vice Chairman of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Mr. Watson commented: “We are grateful for Nelson’s outstanding service over the past two years, appreciate his contributions and wish him well in all his future endeavors. The six independent directors of MPG Office Trust are fully committed to maximizing value for MPG Office stockholders and intend to do so by continuing to implement the Company’s strategic plan.”

The Company has been focused on reducing debt, eliminating repayment and debt service guarantees, extending debt maturities and disposing of properties with negative cash flow. In August 2009 the Company launched a plan to further these goals. As part of Phase I of that plan, the Company ceased making debt service payments on seven properties, primarily located in Orange County, California, that were not generating sufficient cash flow. Subsequently, the Company disposed of or entered into other arrangements with respect to an additional nine properties. Phase I is now substantially complete and the resolution of these 18 assets relieved the Company of approximately $2.0 billion of debt obligations and potential guaranties of approximately $150.0 million.

The next phase of the Company’s strategic plan focuses on the Company’s core Downtown Los Angeles properties and involves proactively working with lenders and special servicers in an effort to reduce the Company’s leverage, extend debt maturities, maintain appropriate funds for value-creating leasing and capital expenditures and ensure adequate cash flow with respect to these properties. The Company intends to raise capital to accomplish the forgoing, at least initially, through full or partial asset dispositions. As a first step, the Company has engaged Eastdil Secured to commence marketing for sale the Westin^® Pasadena Hotel located in Pasadena, California.

Paul Watson commented: “We are working closely with Eastdil Secured to monetize our non-core hotel property. Additionally, we are focused on optimizing value and proactively solving future risks at our trophy assets and will continue to implement Phase II of the Company’s plan.”
