Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

LC Portland, LLC (the “Seller”), the owner of a 100% interest in Lloyd Center (including the theater and parking lot south of Lloyd Center) (all, collectively, the “Property”), an enclosed regional mall located in Portland, Oregon, executed an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Agreement”) with an independent and unaffiliated third party (“Buyer”) to sell, transfer, and convey all its interest in the Property to Buyer. Seller is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a joint venture (the “Venture”) between an affiliate of Glimcher Realty Trust (the “Registrant”) and an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, but Seller expects to complete the transaction in June 2013. By and through its affiliate, the Registrant owns a 40% interest in the Venture and the Property. The Seller plans to use a portion of the final sale proceeds to extinguish the Property’s existing mortgage loan. To date, Seller has received Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in non-refundable earnest money deposits from Buyer, which will be credited at closing against the aggregate sale price of approximately One Hundred and Forty-Eight Million Dollars ($148,000,000), which is subject to further adjustment at closing for customary closing costs, set-offs and transaction fees. The Agreement contains other terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties from each of the respective parties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature. Other than the Agreement and the transactions described therein and herein, there is no other material relationship between the Buyer and its affiliates and Registrant and its affiliates.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Separate and apart from the transaction described in Item 1.01 above, Seller expects to also complete in June or July 2013, the sale to another unaffiliated third party independent from Buyer of three separate outparcels (inclusive of certain existing buildings, improvements, and other related assets) (collectively, the “North Parcels”), which are adjacent to but separate from the Property subject to customary closing conditions. The Registrant, by and through its affiliate’s interest in the Venture, shall be entitled to 40% of the final proceeds from the sale of the North Parcels. A copy of the press release announcing the transactions described in this Form 8-K is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
