Item 8.01. Other Events.

Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE: FPI) (the “Company”) recently announced the launch of the FPI Loan Program, an agricultural lending product aimed at farmers, as a complement to the Company’s current business of acquiring and owning farmland and leasing it to farmers.  Under the FPI Loan Program, the Company expects to originate loans secured by farm real estate with most loans expected to be in principal amounts ranging from $500,000 to $5 million at fixed interest rates and maturities of up to two years.

In August 2015, the Company completed its first loan under the FPI Loan Program to a major Midwest farm operator.  The loan has a maximum principal amount of up to $2 million, is due in January 2016, has a fixed annual interest rate of 8% plus customary upfront points and fees, and is secured by first-lien mortgages on farm real estate.

Although the Company intends to seek to make additional loans under the FPI Loan Program, there can be no assurance that it will make any additional loans on the terms described above or at all.
