DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) is related to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 150958) (the “2008 Registration Statement”) that Lexington Realty Trust (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2008. Pursuant to the 2008 Registration Statement, the Company registered the issuance from time to time of 5,000,000 shares of beneficial interest of the Company classified as common stock (the “Shares”). The Shares were registered to permit the issuance of Shares pursuant to the Company's 2007 Equity-Based Award Plan.

The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to deregister all of the 4,150,675 Shares registered under the Registration Statement that remain unissued as of the date hereof. The Company is deregistering such Shares because it has registered such Shares on a subsequent, effective registration statement (Registration No. 333-175618), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2011.
