Direct Account Holders Any questions by direct shareholders about direct account balances, required forms, etc should be addressed to Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) at 866-354-3485 or investor.services@piedmontreit.com. BNYM will reply promptly during operating hours to questions from direct account holders. Please note that BNYM can only provide specific account information to the direct account holder. BNYM can provide general information regarding required forms, etc to financial advisors and brokers; however, specific account information cannot be divulged or discussed without the express permission of the direct account holder. No individual account information is maintained by Piedmont and only direct account holders' information is available at BNYM. If your stock is held in an account at your broker (including in an IRA), you should call your financial adviser directly rather than Piedmont or BNYM because neither Piedmont nor our transfer agent (BNYM) will have details regarding broker accounts. Brokerage Account Holders If your stock is held in an account at your broker (including in an IRA), you should call your financial adviser directly rather than Piedmont or BNYM because neither Piedmont nor our transfer agent (BNYM) will have details regarding broker accounts. IRA Accounts formerly held by State Street If your shares are held in an IRA account for which State Street Bank formerly served as custodian, your shares have been transferred to Folio Investments as custodian. Questions about IRA accounts held at Folio should be addressed directly to Folio at 703-245-5786 (dedicated line specifically for Piedmont IRA shareholders whose shares were previously held by State Street) or 888-973-7890. Questions about any other type of IRA account should be directed to the individual investor's financial adviser. |
