Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 6, 2011, the board of directors of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the "Company") unanimously recommended that the Company's stockholders reject a mini-tender offer conducted by Madison REIT Liquidity, LLC for up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $5.50 per share. Among the factors considered by the board of directors in reaching its recommendation was the fact that the Company is currently redeeming shares under its share redemption program at 60% of their original issue price, or $6.00 per share in most cases. For more information regarding the share redemption program, including limitations on redemption, please refer to Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on March 21, 2011 at www.sec.gov.
