DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-3 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-70217) (the “Registration Statement”) of Lexington Realty Trust (the “Company”), as supplemented by Prospectus Supplement No. 1 filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company registered the issuance from time to time of certain shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s shares of beneficial interest classified as common stock. The Shares were registered to permit the issuance of Shares in exchange for the redemption of units of limited partnership, issued by one of the Company’s operating partnership subsidiaries.

The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to deregister all of the Shares registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold 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. 157860), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2009, as amended on September 1, 2009.
