Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Amendment No. 3 to Advisory Agreement
On December 16, 2015, Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT II, Inc. (the "Registrant") entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Advisory Agreement (the "Amendment") between the Registrant and Griffin Capital Essential Asset Advisor II, LLC (the "Advisor") to amend and restate the definition of acquisition fees to provide for a holdback of a portion of the contingent amount of such acquisition fees for a period of time, among other changes. Pursuant to the Amendment, the first $5.0 million of the contingent portion of such fees (the "Contingent Advisory Payment Holdback") will be retained by the Registrant until the later of (a) the termination of the Registrant’s public offering, including any follow-on offerings, or (b) July 31, 2017, at which time such amount shall be paid to the Advisor. The Amendment further states that, in connection with a follow-on offering, the Contingent Advisor Payment Holdback may increase, based upon the maximum offering amount in such follow-on offering and the amount sold in prior offerings.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
