Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )This Form 4/A is being filed to provide the price of the common shares, par value $0.01 (the "Common Shares"), of JBG Smith Properties (the "Issuer") acquired by the reporting person as described in Note 2 below. ( 2 )The Common Shares were issued to ten limited liability companies (the "LLCs") controlled by the reporting person, as consideration for the contribution of certain assets by The JBG Companies ("JBG") and investment funds associated with JBG (the "Funds") to the Issuer or its subsidiaries, proportionately with each LLC's equity interest in such Funds, in connection with the consummation of such contributions and related business combination transactions involving the Issuer. The reporting person is, directly or indirectly, the sole or majority owner of the membership interests of each of the LLCs. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

Remarks: An employee of the reporting person serves on the Issuer's Board of Trustees (the "Board") and may be viewed as serving on the Board as the deputy of the reporting person. As a result, the reporting person may itself be deemed a trustee of the Issuer for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is required to file beneficial ownership reports under Section 16(a) or that the employee is serving on the Board as the deputy of the reporting person or in any capacity other than his personal capacity.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).

** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
