Grubb & Ellis Company Announces
Departure of Chief Financial Officer
Departure of Chief Financial Officer
SANTA ANA, Calif. (May 4, 2010) — Grubb & Ellis Company (NYSE: GBE), a leading real estate
services and investment firm, today announced that Richard W. Pehlke has stepped down as executive
vice president and chief financial officer effective May 3, 2010. Matthew A. Engel, senior vice
president, chief accounting officer will serve as interim chief financial officer until a permanent
successor is named. A search for a replacement, which is being lead by Korn/Ferry International,
is actively underway.
To facilitate a smooth transition, Pehlke will remain available on a consulting basis up to
December 31, 2010.
“Due to Rich’s efforts, Grubb & Ellis is better positioned for sustainable long-term growth,” said
Thomas P. D’Arcy, president and chief executive officer of Grubb & Ellis. “He has been a valuable
member of the executive team, providing the company with steady leadership, particularly with
regards to our recent capital raise and the strengthening of our financial position.”
Pehlke joined the company as chief financial officer in February 2007, during which time he oversaw
the financial integration following Grubb & Ellis’ merger with NNN Realty Advisors in December
2007, including moving the financial operations to Santa Ana, and, more recently, the company’s $97
million preferred equity offering in November 2009.
“I am very proud of what we accomplished over the past three years,“said Pehlke. “Given the
strong position the company is now in and the talented team we have in place I have come to
the conclusion that this is the appropriate time for me to seek new challenges and
opportunities.”
