### Footnotes:

(1) 31,488 LTIP units ("LTIP Units") in Easterly Government Properties LP (the "Partnership"), of which the Issuer is the sole general partner, were exchanged for an equal number of common units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership ("Common Units"), which were subsequently redeemed for an equal number of shares of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock").  Upon redemption of the Common Units, the shares of Common Stock were issued to Easterly Capital LLC, an entity wholly-owned by the Reporting Person.

(2) Shares are reflected on a post-split basis in accordance with the 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split of the Issuer's issued and outstanding shares of Common stock completed on April 28, 2025.  Includes 68,591 shares of Common Stock that had previously been reported as direct holdings by the Reporting Person but have been transferred to Easterly Capital LLC in transactions exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 16a-13.

(3) Represents LTIP Units granted as long-term incentive compensation pursuant to the Issuer's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, subject to certain performance vesting hurdles, which were earned based on the Issuer's performance from January 3, 2023 through December 31, 2025.

(4) Conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, each vested LTIP Unit may be exchanged, at the election of either the holder or the Partnership, into a Common Unit. Each Common Unit may be presented for redemption, at the election of the holder, for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Issuer's Common Stock, except that the Issuer may elect to acquire each Common Unit so presented for one share of Common Stock. LTIP Units are generally not convertible without the consent of the Issuer until two years from the grant date. These redemption rights have no expiration date.

(5) Represents LTIP Units granted as long-term incentive compensation pursuant to the Issuer's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, subject to service-based vesting conditions, which were granted on January 3, 2023 and vested on December 31, 2025.
