Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 19, 2018, the Board of Directors of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation (“we,” “us” or the “Company”), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, approved amendments to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines to implement a “Plurality Plus” standard for the election of directors in uncontested elections. Under the amended Corporate Governance Guidelines, a nominee who does not receive a majority of the votes cast in his or her uncontested election (i.e. more votes “for” than “withheld”) must offer to resign as a director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board must then consider the offer and recommend to our Board whether to accept the director’s offer to resign. The nominee may not participate in the deliberation or determination regarding accepting or rejecting his or her offer to resign. A copy of the revised Corporate Governance Guidelines is posted on the Company’s website, at www.mreic.reit.
