Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective June 15, 2011, we amended a provision of our charter by filing the Third Articles of Amendment to the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement, or the Third Articles of Amendment, with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. The Third Articles of Amendment were previously approved by our board of directors on June 1, 2010, subject to stockholder approval, and approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 14, 2011, as described in Item 5.07 below.

The primary purpose of the Third Articles of Amendment is to amend a provision of our charter to provide that in the event our board of directors determines to internalize any management functions provided by our advisor, neither us nor our operating partnership shall pay any compensation or other remuneration to our advisor or its affiliates in connection with the internalization transaction.

The foregoing description of the Third Articles of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Articles of Amendment to the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement of Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT II, Inc., as filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland on June 15, 2011, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 14, 2011, we held our 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the meeting, our stockholders voted on the following three proposals: (i) to elect five directors, each to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified; (ii) to adopt an amendment to our charter; and (iii) to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2011. The three proposals are described in detail in our definitive proxy statement, dated April 28, 2011, as filed on Schedule 14A on April 28, 2011.

The three proposals were approved by our stockholders by the requisite vote necessary for approval. The votes with respect to each of the proposals are set forth below.
