Post Properties Ends Process to Seek Potential Sale

Company Cites Difficult Market Conditions and Receipt of No Definitive Acquisition Proposals;

Board Reaffirms Commitment to Enhancing Shareholder Value

ATLANTA, GA, Business Wire-- Post Properties, Inc. (NYSE: PPS) announces that after five months of actively pursuing a formal process to sell the Company in an increasingly difficult market environment, it has received no definitive acquisition proposals.

All potential bidders have withdrawn from the sale process and, as a result, the Board has brought the process to an end. At the same time, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to actively pursue other strategies to enhance shareholder value.

Said David P. Stockert, (top right photo) the Company’s president and chief executive officer, “We conducted an open and thorough sales process, but conditions in the economy and the financial markets combined to produce a difficult transaction environment.”

Mr. Stockert added, “Post’s portfolio consists of high-quality assets in desirable, in-fill locations, with a widely-recognized brand. We have a strong balance sheet and an experienced and capable management team committed to moving the Company forward.

"We remain optimistic about the longer term fundamentals for our business. We intend to actively pursue strategies to enhance shareholder value and to position the Company so that the value of its assets, business and brand is more fully realized.”

S&P: Rating On PMI Mortgage Insurance Ltd. Affirmed At 'AA-' With Negative Outlook; Off CreditWatch

MELBOURNE, Australia, June 26, 2008—Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that it had affirmed its 'AA-' insurer financial strength rating on PMI Mortgage Insurance Ltd. (PMI Australia), and removed it from CreditWatch with negative implications, where it was placed on April 9, 2008. The outlook is negative.

"The rating affirmation reflects PMI Australia having satisfied various financial and operational measures to justify its rating at one notch higher than the rating on its U.S.-based parent PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. (PMI Co.; A+/Negative/--)," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Maryanne Galea.

"The 'AA-' rating on PMI Australia reflects the company's current very strong stand-alone credit profile, which has superior business and financial characteristics relative to the parent."

PMI Australia has strengthened its risk-based capital position, confirmed its restrictive dividend policy, and is negotiating reinsurance protection outside the group.

In addition, existing regulatory and governance factors including robust prudential supervision by Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), presence of independent board members, and supportive non-consolidation legal opinions largely quarantine PMI Australia's assets from its U.S. parent.

Arbor Closes $11,866,000 Fannie Mae DUS® Loan on Woodmere Apartments in Montgomery, AL

UNIONDALE, NY (June 26, 2008) --Arbor Commercial Funding, LLC (“Arbor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arbor Commercial Mortgage, LLC, announced the recent funding of $11,866,000 refinance loan under Fannie Mae’s DUS® program.

The Woodmere Apartments are situated on more than 14 acres in Montgomery, AL, and consists of 200 units spread over 27 garden-style apartment buildings.

The 10-year loan amortizes on a 30-year schedule and carries a note rate of 6.08% percent, and also includes interest-only payments for the first five years. The proceeds from the loan will be used to pay off the property’s existing debt and cash out the borrower, as well.

The loan was originated by Ronen Abergel, a Director in Arbor’s New York City office.

“In this current volatile capital marketplace, complete with gyrating Treasury rates and spreads, Arbor offered the borrower peace of mind by committing to a rate in two weeks with an early rate lock agreement,” said Abergel. “Additionally, we exceeded the borrower’s expectations by closing the deal with an additional 3% in proceeds above application.”
