ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
 
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 8, 2011, or the September 8 Current Report, filed by Gramercy Capital Corp. with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, we agreed to transfer ownership of entities owning substantially all of the properties comprising our Gramercy Realty division to KBS Acquisition Sub, LLC, or KBS, or as otherwise directed by KBS pursuant to a Settlement Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2011, or the Settlement Agreement, in full satisfaction of Gramercy Realty’s obligations with respect to the Goldman Mortgage Loan and the Goldman Mezzanine Loans (each as defined in the Settlement Agreement), in exchange for a mutual release of claims among us and the mortgage and mezzanine lenders and, subject to certain termination provisions, our continued management of the transferred properties on behalf of KBS for a fixed fee plus incentive fees.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we,” “our” and “us” mean Gramercy Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation, and one or more of its subsidiaries, including our operating partnership, GKK Capital LP.  The Settlement Agreement and the transfers, releases and other transactions contemplated thereby are more fully described in the September 8 Current Report.
 
On September 1, 2011 and on December 1, 2011, we transferred to KBS or its affiliates interests in entities owning 317 and 116, respectively, of the 867 Gramercy Realty properties that we agreed to transfer pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.  The aggregate carrying value for the interests transferred to KBS on September 1, 2011 was approximately $414.4 million.  The aggregate carrying value for the interests transferred to KBS on December 1, 2011 was approximately $657.6 million.  We expect to transfer ownership of the remaining entity interests to KBS on or before December 15, 2011.
 
For more information about the relationships among us, KBS and certain other parties, and risks which arise from these relationships, please also refer to our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (including the sections captioned “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 (including the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”).
