Item 8.01. Other Events

Gladstone Commercial Corporation (the “Company”) has engaged Gladstone Securities LLC (“Gladstone Securities”) as its non-exclusive agent to assist the Company with arranging mortgage financing for properties owned by the Company. In connection with such engagement, Gladstone Securities may from time to time solicit the interest of various commercial real estate lenders and/or recommend to the Company third party lenders offering credit products or packages that are responsive to the Company’s needs. The Company will pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee (“Fee”) in connection with the services it provides to the Company for securing mortgage financing on any of its properties. The amount of the Fee, which is payable upon closing of the financing, will be based on a percentage of the amount of the mortgage ranging from 0.5% to a maximum of 1% of the mortgage obtained. The amount of the Fee may be reduced or eliminated as determined by the Company and Gladstone Securities, after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any third party brokers and market conditions.

Gladstone Securities is affiliated with us and our affiliated investment adviser, Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), as each is owned by David Gladstone, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Any Fee we pay to Gladstone Securities pursuant to this engagement is separate from the fees we pay to the Adviser pursuant to the amended and restated investment advisory agreement.

In addition, as previously announced on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement of purchase and sale (“Agreement”) with Karlin Parmer Office, LLC to purchase an office building located in Texas. A copy of the Agreement is being filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
