Other Events

On March 9, 2012, Grubb & Ellis Company (the “Company”) notified the staff of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of its intent to withdraw the Company’s appeal of the suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE and the NYSE’s intention to begin the process to delist the Company’s common stock due to its non-compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards, and the Company’s withdrawal from the requested hearing before a committee of the NYSE board of directors which was scheduled for May 6, 2012.

In response to the above reference notification from the Company, the NYSE announced its final determination to remove the Company’s common stock from listing on the NYSE and that it will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Form 25 Delisting Application to remove the Company’s common stock from listing on the NYSE. The delisting will become effective ten days after the Form 25 is filed unless postponed by the Commission.

The Company’s common stock has been traded on the OTCQB Marketplace since January 6, 2012 under the symbol “GRBE”.
