(f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.
 
Item 3.                      Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Person reserves the right, consistent with applicable law, to acquire (whether through open market purchases, block trades, private acquisitions, exercises of options, conversion of securities of Douglas Emmett Properties, LP or otherwise) and/or to dispose of securities of the Issuer, in each case in light of the Reporting Person’s continued evaluation of Issuer market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Person.
