Item 2.01.             Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 30, 2014, Farmland Partners Inc. (the “Company”) completed the previously announced acquisition of an approximately 3,170-acre farm in Burlington, Colorado (the “Burlington Farm”) from unrelated third-party individuals for approximately $7.6 million. The Company funded the acquisition with cash proceeds from its initial public offering. The Burlington Farm was previously owner-occupied and, as a result, does not have a leasing history. In connection with the acquisition, the Company leased the Burlington Farm back to the sellers pursuant to a three-year lease with annual rent of $367,240 per year, which represents an anticipated unlevered annual cash return of approximately 4.81%.
