EXPLANATORY NOTE

Such shares of Common Stock are hereby deregistered under the Prior S-8.
The Registrant has since adopted a subsequent equity incentive plan, the First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which replaced the Prior Plan, effective as of April 30, 2024, the date the Company’s shareholders approved the 2024 Plan. No future awards will be made under the Prior Plan. Except to the extent specified above, the Prior S-8 is not amended or otherwise affected by this Post-Effective Amendment.
