Item 8.01 Other Events
     Grubb & Ellis Company (the “Company”) has agreed to a sixty-day extension of its agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to purchase in the public marketplace, to the extent available, up to $3,500,000 of warrants of its affiliate Grubb & Ellis Realty Advisors, Inc. (“Realty Advisors”), if such warrants are trading at $0.70 or less per warrant. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has purchased 394,631 warrants of Realty Advisors through June 28, 2006 for an aggregate purchase price excluding commissions of $236,225, or approximately $0.60 per warrant, leaving the Company with a remaining warrant purchase commitment of up to $3,263,775, which now expires on August 27, 2006. The Company entered into such agreement in connection with the initial public offering of units of Realty Advisors, which closed on March 3, 2006 generating gross proceeds to the Realty Advisors of $143,750,004.
     In accordance with the original terms of the agreement, the Company will purchase warrants of Realty Advisors pursuant to an agreement in accordance with the guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through an independent broker-dealer registered under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, which is not affiliated with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. nor part of the underwriting or selling group in the initial public offering of Realty Advisors. The Company will not have any discretion or influence with respect to such purchases, as the purchases of the warrants on behalf of the Company will be made by a broker-dealer who has not participated in the initial public offering in such amounts and at such times as that broker-dealer may determine, in its sole discretion, subject to any regulatory restrictions.
