Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Dividend Capital Diversified Property Fund Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and Dividend Capital Securities LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), the dealer manager for the Company’s ongoing public offering of Class A, W and I shares (the “Offering”), previously entered into a certain Second Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement dated September 16, 2015 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Dealer Manager Agreement provides that we may pay to the Dealer Manager a primary dealer fee in the amount of up to 5.0% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Class I shares in the primary portion of the Offering, provided that (i) the total gross proceeds raised with respect to which the primary dealer fee will apply may not exceed $100,000,000, subject to further increase by our board of directors, in its discretion; (ii) the primary dealer fee will only be paid with respect to sales made by participating broker-dealers specifically approved by us as being eligible; and (iii) the primary dealer fee will only be paid with respect to sales made at times approved by us. The Dealer Manager may reallow a portion of the primary dealer fee to the participating broker-dealers involved in selling such Class I shares based on the portion of the gross proceeds raised from their customers. The primary dealer fee will be considered underwriting compensation (as defined in accordance with, and subject to the underwriting compensation limits of, applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules).

On May 11, 2016, we notified the Dealer Manager that we would pay a primary dealer fee in the amount of up to 5.0% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Class I shares in the primary portion of the offering from May 11, 2016 through June 30, 2016 (the “Managed Offering Term”), but only with respect to sales made by participating broker-dealers that we specifically approved as being eligible (“Primary Dealers”). We have approved three participating broker-dealers as being eligible to participate, generally through selected dealer agreements entered into between the Primary Dealers and the Dealer Manager. In addition, we, the Dealer Manager and our Company’s external advisor, Dividend Capital Total Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) entered into a new selected dealer agreement (the “Managed Offering Selected Dealer Agreement”) with one of the three approved Primary Dealers, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”), pursuant to which Raymond James will use its best efforts to sell Class I shares in transactions entitling it to primary dealer fees during the Managed Offering Term. Pursuant to this agreement, Raymond James may sell Class I shares in the primary portion of the offering up to $50 million in total gross proceeds, provided that we may unilaterally elect to increase the limit up to $100 million. During the Managed Offering Term, we may allow other participating broker-dealers to join as Primary Dealers eligible to receive primary dealer fees.
