Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 20, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) approved November 19, 2014 as the date for the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Because the date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) and Rule 14a-8(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has set a new deadline for the receipt of any stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”) for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting. In order for a proposal under Rule 14a-8 to be timely, it must be received by the Company at its principal offices and directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary by the close of business on August 31, 2014, which the Company has determined to be reasonable. Such proposals must also comply with the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in proxy materials, and any such proposal may be omitted if not in compliance with applicable requirements.

Stockholders wishing to nominate a director or propose matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting in the manner contemplated by the Bylaws must submit timely notice thereof to the Company in order for such matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Because the date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, in accordance with the Bylaws, to be timely, such notice must be received by the Company at its principal offices and directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary by the close of business on August 31, 2014. Such proposals must also comply with all other requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws and other applicable laws.

On August 20, 2014, the Board nominated Andrew Batinovich for election as a Class I director at the Annual Meeting and nominated Todd A. Spitzer for election as a Class II director at the Annual Meeting. The Board also declared September 12, 2014 to be the record date for stockholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting.
