AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced that Thomas S. Olinger has been named the company's chief financial officer, effective March 1, 2007. Mr. Olinger will report to Hamid R. Moghadam, AMB's chairman and chief executive officer, and replace Michael A. Coke, whose decision to retire was announced previously by the company. Mr. Coke will continue to serve as executive vice president during a transition period, which is currently expected to be completed by the company's second quarter earnings.

Since May 2002, Mr. Olinger has served as vice president, corporate controller of Oracle Corporation, a software and technology company, where he has been responsible for global accounting, external reporting, technical accounting, global revenue recognition, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and finance merger and acquisition integration. Mr. Olinger is responsible for Oracle's controllership operations in Dublin, Ireland; Bangalore, India; and Rocklin, California. Prior to joining Oracle, Mr. Olinger spent 14 years at Arthur Andersen, the last three as a partner in its U.S. real estate group.

"We are delighted that Tom will be joining us. He will come to us with a wealth of experience and knowledge in the real estate industry and international operations. As both a member and leader of audit teams while at Andersen, he worked on several REIT accounts, including AMB, Simon Property Group and Spieker Properties, during which time he had several opportunities to participate in both IPO and M&A activities," said Mr. Moghadam. "With the breadth of his experience at both Andersen and Oracle, and his keen understanding of increasingly complicated finance, treasury, and accounting infrastructure and regulations that global firms face today, Tom's the ideal person to step in and help us continue to grow our global organization."

Mr. Olinger received a Bachelor of Science with distinction, in Finance, from Indiana University in 1988.

AMB also announced that Nina A. Tran, its senior vice president, finance, has been appointed as chief accounting officer, replacing Michael A. Coke in this role. Ms. Tran, who joined AMB in 1995, is responsible for AMB's global accounting operations, external reporting and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

"Nina has been a tremendous asset to AMB, and has done an excellent job developing and managing an accounting and finance structure that has effectively met the challenge of keeping pace with our global expansion over the past several years," noted Mr. Coke, AMB's executive vice president and chief financial officer. "Her increasing responsibilities and accomplishments over the past several years uniquely qualify her to assume this additional responsibility."

Mr. Moghadam added, "In addition to her significant contributions to our accounting and finance initiatives, Nina is an exceptional leader. She has earned a considerable amount of respect from me, her team -- now totaling approximately 90 employees in the U.S., Europe and Asia -- and from everyone else who has had the pleasure of working with her."

Prior to joining AMB in 1995, Ms. Tran was a senior auditor for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Ms. Tran received a Bachelor of Science in accounting and computer information systems from California State University at Hayward and is a Certified Public Accountant.
