Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the completion of an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by Gramercy Property Trust Inc. (the “Company”) of 3,500,000 shares of its 7.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (liquidation preference $25.00 per share, par value $.001 per share) (“Series B Preferred Stock”), which is expected to occur on August 15, 2014, the Company as the general partner of GPT Property Trust LP (the “Operating Partnership”), will execute the First Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of GPT Property Trust LP (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment designates and authorizes the issuance to the Company by the Operating Partnership of 3,500,000 7.125% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Series B Preferred Units”). The Series B Preferred Units will have substantially similar rights preferences and other privileges as the Series B Preferred Stock.

A copy of the First Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.

Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

On August 14, 2014, the Company filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the “Articles Supplementary”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and supplemented, classifying and designating 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s authorized capital stock as shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. As set forth in the Articles Supplementary, the Series B Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and on parity with the Company’s 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and all classes or series of the Company’s capital stock now or hereafter authorized, issued, or outstanding expressly designated as ranking on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock.

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, when and as authorized by the Company’s board of directors, are entitled to cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 7.125% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $1.78125 per share. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on December 31, 2014. Dividends will accrue and be cumulative from and including August 15, 2014. In addition to other preferential rights, the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive the liquidation preference, which is $25.00 per share, before the holders of shares of common stock in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company’s affairs.

Generally, the Company may not redeem the Series B Preferred Stock prior to August 15, 2019, except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust, and pursuant to the special optional redemption provision described below. On and after August 15, 2019, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but not including, the redemption date. However, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), the Company has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Change of Control Conversion Right”), into a number of shares of Common Stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of:

subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration, as described in the Articles Supplementary.

The Share Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any share splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of the Common Stock), subdivisions or combinations with respect to the Common Stock as described in the Articles Supplementary.

If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Company has provided or provides a redemption notice, whether pursuant to its special optional redemption right in connection with a Change of Control or its optional redemption right, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will not have any right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock in connection with the Change of Control Conversion Right and any shares of Series B Preferred Stock selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the related date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date.

A “Change of Control” is when, after the original issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the following have occurred and are continuing:

The “Change of Control Conversion Date” is the date the Series B Preferred Stock is to be converted, which will be a business day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which the Company provides the required notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

The “Common Stock Price” will be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by the holders of the Common Stock is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per share of the Common Stock or (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of the Common Stock is other than solely cash (x) the average of the closing sale prices per share of the Common Stock (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control as reported on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded, or (y) the average of the last quoted bid prices for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by OTC Markets Group, Inc. or similar organization for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the Common Stock is not then listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange.

The foregoing description of the Articles Supplementary is a summary and, as such, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles Supplementary filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation on August 14, 2014, which Articles Supplementary are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
