On May 23, 2007, Grubb & Ellis Company (the “Company”) was informed of the unexpected death of director R. David Anacker, who passed away on May 23, 2007. Mr. Anacker served as a director of the Company since 1994 and was chairman of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors and also served on the board’s compensation committee and corporate governance and nominating committee.

The Company telephonically disclosed the matter of Mr. Anacker’s death to the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on May 24, 2007. Mr. Anacker’s death reduced the number of directors currently serving on the Company’s board of directors to six and the number of independent directors to three and reduced the number of members currently serving on the Company’s audit committee to two. On May 30, 2007, the Company received official notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. that, as a result of Mr. Anacker’s death, unless cured by June 6, 2007, the Company will not comply with the requirements of Section 303A.01 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (which requires each NYSE listed company to have a majority of independent directors) and 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (which requires each NYSE listed company to have at least three members on its audit committee). Since the non-compliance resulted from the death of a director, the NYSE has advised the Company that the Company has until November 23, 2007 to resolve the non-compliance before the NYSE will publicly disseminate a below compliance indicator. The Company intends to begin the process to identify and recruit a new director in order to satisfy NYSE requirements.
