Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer
of Listing.

On February 26, 2009, Grubb & Ellis Company (the Company) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K
(the February 26th 8-K) with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it had received written
notice from NYSE Regulation, Inc. (the Notice) that the 30 trading-day average closing price of
its common stock had fallen below $1.00, and as a consequence the Company was no longer in
compliance with the continued listing criteria of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) relating
to minimum average trading price.
After the close of the market on February 26, 2009, and subsequent to the Companys filing of
the February 26
th
8-K, the NYSE announced that, effective immediately, it was suspending
the application of its continued listing criteria relating to maintaining a minimum average trading
price until June 30, 2009.
Prior to the moratorium, the Company had six months from the date of the Notice to bring its
share price and 30 trading-day average share price back above $1.00. With the announcement of the
moratorium, this six-month cure period is automatically suspended, and thereby extended, and the
Company now has until at least December 20, 2009 to bring its share price back above $1.00. During
this period, the Companys common stock will continue to be traded on the NYSE, subject to the
Companys compliance with other NYSE continued listing criteria.
The Companys business operations, SEC reporting requirements and credit agreements are
unaffected by the notification and the Company intends to cure the deficiency and to return to
compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirements.
The Company issued a press release on February 27, 2009 disclosing receipt of the Notice, the
impact of the NYSE moratorium and matters related thereto. A copy of the press release is attached
to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
