On December 19, 2011, Robert McLaughlin resigned from the Board of Directors of Grubb & Ellis Company (the “Company”) for personal reasons.

At the time of his resignation, Mr. McLaughlin, 78 years old, was the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee and a member of the Company’s Compensation Committee. Mr. D. Fleet Wallace will replace Mr. McLaughlin as the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee will now be comprised of two directors, Mr. Fleet Wallace and Mr. Rodger Young.

Mr. McLaughlin had been nominated for election as a director at the Company’s annual meeting of shareowners, which is scheduled for December 29, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”). As disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated December 6, 2011, in connection with the Annual Meeting, in the event that any director nominee becomes unable or unwilling to serve, the shares represented by any proxies that are submitted will be voted for the election of such other person as the board of directors may recommend in his place.
