On January 19, 2016, David M. Danziger resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc. (“Griffin” or the “Registrant”), effective upon the election of his successor.  On January 19, 2016, the Board elected Michael S. Gamzon to succeed David M. Danziger as a director of Griffin. The resignation of Mr. Danziger was to enable Griffin to maintain compliance with NASDAQ regulations that require boards to have a majority of their members be independent directors.

In addition, as previously disclosed by Griffin in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 10, 2015, effective January 1, 2016, Mr. Gamzon, who served as Griffin’s President and Chief Operating Officer since May 2012, succeeded Frederick M.
