EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017 of Gramercy Property Trust and GPT Operating Partnership LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Gramercy Property Trust," the "Company" or "Gramercy" mean Gramercy Property Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to "GPT Operating Partnership LP," the "Operating Partnership" or "GPTOP" mean GPT Operating Partnership LP and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "we," "our" and "us" mean the Company and all the entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.
The Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, which operates as a self-administered and self-managed entity and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.
As of June 30, 2017 the Company owned 99.64% of the outstanding general and limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2017, noncontrolling investors owned approximately 0.36% of the outstanding limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, shareholders' equity of the Company and partners' capital of the Operating Partnership are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
Combined reports enhance investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
Combined reports eliminate duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
Combined reports create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
consolidated financial statements; and
the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:
Note 11, Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) of the Company;
Note 12, Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership; and
Note 13, Noncontrolling Interests.



This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in both their capacity as the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

1. Business and Organization
Gramercy Property Trust, or the Company or Gramercy, a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, together with its subsidiary, GPT Operating Partnership LP, or the Operating Partnership, is a leading global investor and asset manager of commercial real estate. Gramercy specializes in acquiring and managing high quality, income producing commercial real estate leased to high quality tenants in major markets in the United States and Europe.
Gramercy earns revenues primarily through rental revenues on properties that it owns in the United States and asset management revenues on properties owned by third parties in the United States and Europe. The Company also owns unconsolidated equity investments in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2017, third-party holders of limited partnership interests owned approximately 0.36% of the Operating Partnership. These interests are referred to as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio consists of 320 properties comprising 67,485,724 rentable square feet with 97.7% occupancy. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has ownership interests in 52 industrial and office properties which are held in unconsolidated equity investments in the United States and Europe and two properties held through the investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. As of June 30, 2017, the Company manages approximately $1,341,000 of commercial real estate assets, primarily on behalf of its joint venture partners, including approximately $1,048,000 of assets in Europe.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired 19 properties aggregating 4,750,354 square feet for a total purchase price of approximately $302,412, including the acquisition of a previously consolidated variable interest entity, or VIE, for $29,605, a vacant property for $2,400, and two land parcels for $6,840. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired two land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $2,800, on which it has committed to construct industrial facilities for an estimated $49,077. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 17 properties and two offices from another asset aggregating 2,227,753 square feet for total gross proceeds of approximately $234,985.
Prior to December 17, 2015, the Company was known as Chambers Street Properties, or Chambers. On December 17, 2015, Chambers completed a merger, or the Merger, with Gramercy Property Trust Inc., or Legacy Gramercy. While Chambers was the surviving legal entity, immediately following consummation of the Merger, the Company changed its name to “Gramercy Property Trust” and its New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, trading symbol to “GPT.”
Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “Company,” “Gramercy,” "we," "our" and "us" mean Legacy Gramercy and its subsidiaries, including Legacy Gramercy’s operating partnership and its subsidiaries, for the periods prior to the Merger closing and Gramercy Property Trust and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries, for periods following the Merger closing.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Quarterly Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the

11

Gramercy Property Trust and GPT Operating Partnership LP
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except share, unit, per share, per unit, and property data)
June 30, 2017

instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The 2017 operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and in the Operating Partnership’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2017. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016 were derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net income. On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company reclassified investment income of $503 and $946 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, into other income.
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s accounts and those of the Company’s subsidiaries which are wholly-owned or controlled by the Company, or entities which are VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the VIE’s anticipated losses and/or a majority of the expected returns. The Company has evaluated its investments for potential classification as variable interests by evaluating the sufficiency of each entity’s equity investment at risk to absorb losses.
Entities which the Company does not control and are considered VIEs, but where the Company is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The equity interests of other limited partners in the Company’s Operating Partnership are reflected as noncontrolling interests. See Note 13 for more information on the Company’s noncontrolling interests.
Real Estate Investments
Real Estate Acquisitions
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2017-01, Amendments to Business Combinations, which clarifies the framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Although the Company is not required to implement ASU 2017-01 until annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, the Company early adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2017. As a result, the Company evaluated its real estate acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 under the new framework and determined the properties acquired did not meet the definition of a business, thus the transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions. Refer to the "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" section below for more information on the new guidance and refer to Note 4 for more information on the transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company evaluates its acquisitions of real estate, including equity interests in entities that predominantly hold real estate assets, to determine if the acquired assets meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination, or alternatively, should be accounted for as an asset acquisition. An integrated set of assets and activities acquired does not meet the definition of a business if either (i) substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, or (ii) the asset and activities acquired do not contain at least an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The Company expects that its acquisitions of real estate will continue to not meet the revised definition of a business.
Acquisitions of real estate that do not meet the definition of a business, including sale-leaseback transactions that have newly-originated leases and real estate investments under construction, or build-to-suit investments, are recorded as asset acquisitions. The accounting for asset acquisitions is similar to the accounting for business combinations, except that the acquisition consideration, including acquisition costs, is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Based on this allocation methodology, asset acquisitions do not result in the recognition of goodwill or a bargain purchase. The Company incurs internal transaction costs, which are direct, incremental internal costs related to acquisitions, that are recorded within general and administrative expense. Additionally, for build-to-suit investments in which the Company may engage a developer to construct a property or provide funds to a tenant to develop a property, the Company capitalizes the funds provided to the developer/tenant and real estate taxes, if applicable, during the construction period.
To determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition, which generally include land, building, improvements, and intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases at the acquisition date, the Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if-vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, and discounted cash flow analyses. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. The Company assesses the fair value of leases assumed at acquisition based upon estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Refer to the policy section "Intangible Assets and Liabilities" for more information on the Company’s accounting for intangibles.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life at acquisition of the capitalized item or 40 years for buildings, five to ten years for building equipment and fixtures, and the lesser of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.
For transactions that qualify as business combinations, the Company recognizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, including the value of intangible assets and liabilities, and any excess or deficit of the consideration transferred relative to the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill or a bargain purchase gain, as appropriate. Acquisition costs of business combinations are expensed as incurred.

June 30, 2017

Capital Improvements
In leasing space, the Company may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. Certain improvements are capitalized when they are determined to increase the useful life of the building. During construction of qualifying projects, the Company capitalizes project management fees as permitted to be charged under the lease, if incremental and identifiable. In accounting for tenant allowances, the Company determines whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluates the ownership of such improvements. If the Company is considered the owner of the leasehold improvements, the Company capitalizes the amount of the tenant allowance and depreciates it over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the lease term. If the tenant allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Factors considered during this evaluation usually include (i) who holds legal title to the improvements, (ii) evidentiary requirements concerning the spending of the tenant allowance, and (iii) other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement (e.g. unilateral control of the tenant space during the build-out process). Determination of the accounting for a tenant allowance is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease.
Impairments
The Company reviews the recoverability of a property’s carrying value when circumstances indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property, such as an adverse change in future expected occupancy or a significant decrease in the market price of an asset. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as changes in strategy resulting in an increased or decreased holding period, expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If management determines impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, for properties to be held and used, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property and for assets held for sale, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value less estimated cost of disposal. These assessments are recorded as an impairment loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the determination is made. The estimated fair value of the asset becomes its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset to be held and used, the new cost basis will be depreciated or amortized over the remaining useful life of that asset.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
The Company had restricted cash of $40,326 and $12,904 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which primarily consisted of proceeds from property sales held by qualified intermediaries to be used for tax-deferred, like-kind exchanges under Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, Section 1031, reserves for certain capital improvements, leasing, interest and real estate tax and insurance payments as required by certain mortgage note obligations.

Consolidated VIEs
Operating Partnership
The Operating Partnership is a consolidated VIE because the Company is its primary beneficiary due to its majority ownership and ability to exercise control over every aspect of the Operating Partnership’s operations.
Gramercy Europe Asset Management (European Fund Manager)
In connection with the Company’s December 2014 investment in the Gramercy European Property Fund, the Company acquired equity interests in the entity, hereinafter European Fund Manager, which provides investment and asset management services to the Gramercy European Property Fund. The Company determined that European Fund Manager is a VIE, as the equity holders of that entity do not have controlling financial interests and do not have the

15

(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except share, unit, per share, per unit, and property data)
June 30, 2017

obligation to absorb losses. As Gramercy Europe Asset Management, through an investment advisory agreement with the VIE, controls the activities that most significantly affect the economic outcome of European Fund Manager, the Company concluded that it is the entity’s primary beneficiary and has consolidated the VIE. The Company receives net cash inflows from European Fund Manager in the form of management fees, and if the VIE’s cash inflows are not sufficient to cover its obligations, the Company may provide financial support for the VIE.
Proportion Foods
In December 2015, the Company entered into a non-recourse financing arrangement with Big Proportion Austin LLC, or BIG, for a build-to-suit industrial property in Round Rock, Texas, or Proportion Foods. Concurrently, the Company entered into a forward purchase agreement with BIG, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire the property, which is 100.0% leased to Proportion Foods, upon substantial completion of the facility’s development. The Company determined that Proportion Foods was a VIE, as the equity holders of the entity did not have controlling financial interests and were not obligated to absorb losses. The Company controlled the activities that most significantly affected the economic outcome of Proportion Foods through its financing arrangement to fund the property’s development and its forward purchase agreement with BIG. As such, the Company concluded it was the entity’s primary beneficiary and consolidated the VIE. The construction of the facility on the property was completed in March 2017, at which time the Company acquired the property. Following the acquisition, the property was wholly-owned by the Company and was no longer a consolidated VIE.
Unconsolidated VIEs
Gramercy Europe Asset Management (European Fund Carry Co.)
In connection with the Company’s December 2014 investment in the Gramercy European Property Fund, the Company acquired equity interests in the entity, hereinafter European Fund Carry Co., entitled to receive certain preferential distributions, if any, made from time-to-time by the Gramercy European Property Fund. The Company determined that European Fund Carry Co. is a VIE, as the equity holders of that entity do not have controlling financial interests and do not have the obligation to absorb losses in excess of capital committed. Decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of European Fund Carry Co. are decided by a majority vote of that VIE’s shareholders. As such, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE and accounts for it as an equity investment.
Investment in Retained CDO Bonds
The Company has retained non-investment grade subordinate bonds, preferred shares and ordinary shares of three collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, together the Retained CDO Bonds. The Company does not control the activities that most significantly impact the Retained CDO Bonds’ economic performance and is not obligated to provide any financial support to them, thus the Retained CDO Bonds have been determined to be unconsolidated VIEs, in which the Company’s interest is recorded at fair value within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Retained CDO Bonds may provide the potential for the Company to receive continuing cash flows in the future, however, there is no guarantee that the Company will realize any proceeds from the Retained CDO Bonds or what the timing of the proceeds may be. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its interest in the Retained CDO Bonds. In April 2017, one of the CDOs, in which the Company’s retained interest has no value, commenced liquidation. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the liquidation. Thus, as of June 30, 2017, one of the Retained CDO Bonds is no longer considered a VIE of the Company.

Tenant and Other Receivables
Tenant and other receivables are derived from rental revenue, tenant reimbursements, and management fees.
Rental revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable, and include in revenues, unbilled rent receivables that will only be received if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Tenant and other receivables also include receivables related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses that are recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
Tenant and other receivables are recorded net of the allowances for doubtful accounts, which as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $523 and $57, respectively. The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent, tenant reimbursements, and management fees, including incentive fees, and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant or asset management clients’ payment history, the financial condition of the tenant or asset management client, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant or asset management client operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property or asset management client is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, the Company increases the allowance for doubtful accounts or records a direct write-off of the receivable, as appropriate.
Management fees, including incentive management fees, are recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of the management agreements. The management agreements may contain provisions for fees related to dispositions, administration of the assets including fees related to accounting, valuation and legal services, and management of capital improvements or projects on the underlying assets.
Intangible Assets and Liabilities
As discussed above in the policy section “Real Estate Acquisitions” the Company follows the acquisition method of accounting for its asset acquisitions and business combinations and thus allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquired leases for above- and below- market lease rates and the value of in-place leases. Management also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence.
Above-market and below-market lease values for properties acquired are recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and management’s estimate of the fair market lease rate for each such in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The present value calculation utilizes a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired. The above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of and increase to rental revenue, respectively, over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to its contractual expiration and no future rental payments will be received, any unamortized balance of the market lease intangibles will be written off to rental revenue.
The aggregate value of in-place leases represents the costs of leasing costs, other tenant related costs, and lost revenue that the Company did not have to incur by acquiring a property that is already occupied. Factors considered by management in its analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected

17

June 30, 2017

lease-up period for each property taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and other related expenses. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the anticipated lease-up period. The value of in-place leases is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases, but never over a term that exceeds the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to its contractual expiration and no future rental payments will be received, any unamortized balance of the in-place lease intangible will be written off to depreciation and amortization expense.
Above-market and below-market ground rent intangibles are recorded for properties acquired in which the Company is the lessee pursuant to a ground lease assumed at acquisition. The above-market and below-market ground rent intangibles are valued similarly to above-market and below-market leases, except that, because the Company is the lessee as opposed to the lessor, the above-market and below-market ground lease values are amortized as a reduction of and increase to rent expense, respectively, over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.

Revenue Recognition
Real Estate Investments
Rental revenue from leases on real estate investments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, regardless of when payments are contractually due. The excess of rental revenue recognized over the amounts contractually due according to the underlying leases are included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For leases on properties that are under construction at the time of acquisition, the Company begins recognition of rental revenue upon completion of construction of the leased asset and delivery of the leased asset to the tenant.
The Company’s lease agreements with tenants also generally contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes, insurance costs, common area maintenance costs, and other property-related expenses. Under lease arrangements in which the Company is the primary obligor for these expenses, such amounts

are recognized as both revenues and operating expenses for the Company. Under lease arrangements in which the tenant pays these expenses directly, such amounts are not included in revenues or expenses. These reimbursement amounts are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
The Company recognizes sales of real estate properties only upon closing. Payments received from purchasers prior to closing are recorded as deposits. Profit on real estate sold is recognized using the full accrual method upon closing when the collectability of the sale price is reasonably assured and the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale. Profit may be deferred in whole or part until the sale meets the requirements of profit recognition on sale of real estate.
Third-Party Management Fees
The Company’s asset and property management agreements may contain provisions for fees related to dispositions, administration of the assets including fees related to accounting, valuation and legal services, and management of capital improvements or projects on the underlying assets. The Company recognizes revenue for fees pursuant to its management agreements in the period in which they are earned. Deferred revenue from management fees received prior to the date earned is included in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Certain of the Company’s asset management contracts and agreements with its unconsolidated equity investments include provisions that allow it to earn additional fees, generally described as incentive fees or promoted interests, based on the achievement of a targeted valuation or the achievement of a certain internal rate of return on the managed assets held by third parties or the equity investment. The Company recognizes incentive fees on its asset management contracts based upon the amount that would be due pursuant to the contract, if the contract were terminated at the reporting date. If the incentive fee is a fixed amount, only a proportionate share of revenue is recognized at the reporting date, with the remaining fees recognized on a straight-line basis over the measurement period. The Company recognizes promoted interest in the period in which it is determined to be appropriately earned pursuant to the terms of the specific agreement. The values of incentive management fees and promoted interest fees are periodically evaluated by management. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not recognize any incentive fee revenue and for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized incentive fees of $1,449. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized incentive fees of $14,217 and $15,190, respectively.
Other Income
Other income primarily consists of miscellaneous property related income, lease termination fees, income accretion on the Company’s Retained CDO Bonds, which are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis using a discounted cash flow model, realized foreign currency exchange gains (losses), and interest income.
Foreign Currency
Gramercy Europe Asset Management performs asset and property management services in the United Kingdom. The Company has unconsolidated equity investments in Europe and Asia and had two wholly-owned properties in Canada and one wholly-owned property in the United Kingdom until their dispositions in March 2017 and December 2016, respectively. The Company also has borrowings outstanding in euros and British pounds sterling under the multicurrency portion of its revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 5 for more information on the Company’s foreign unconsolidated equity investments.

Foreign Currency Translation
During the periods presented, the Company has had interests in Europe and Canada for which the functional currencies are the euro, the British pound sterling, and the Canadian dollar, respectively. The Company performs the translation from these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. The Company reports the gains and losses resulting from such translation as a component of other comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded net translation gains of $1,126 and $1,817, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded net translation losses of $8,686 and $2,567, respectively. Translation gains and losses are reclassified to other income within earnings when the Company has substantially exited from the foreign currency denominated asset or liability.
Foreign Currency Transactions
A transaction gain or loss realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction will be included in earnings for the period in which the transaction is settled. Foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement are included in the determination of net income. Intercompany foreign currency transactions of a long-term nature that do not have a planned or foreseeable future settlement date, in which the entities to the transactions are consolidated or accounted for by the equity method in the Company’s financial statements, are not included in net income but are reported as a component of other comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized net realized foreign currency transaction gains of $66 and $57, respectively, on such transactions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized net realized foreign currency transaction losses of $186 and $81, respectively, on such transactions.
Other Assets
The Company includes prepaid expenses, capitalized software costs, contract intangible assets, deferred costs, goodwill, derivative assets, and Retained CDO Bonds in other assets.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the fair value of the collaboration expected to be achieved upon consummation of a business combination and is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net assets acquired at acquisition date. The Company recognized goodwill of $3,802 related to the acquisition of Gramercy Europe Limited, or Gramercy Europe Asset Management. The carrying value of goodwill has been adjusted each reporting period for the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments. The carrying value of goodwill at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $3,100 and $2,988, respectively. The Company’s goodwill has had an indeterminate life and has not been amortized, but has been tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company takes a qualitative approach to consider whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting unit in the impairment test. The Company did not record any impairment on its goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Retained CDO Bonds
The Retained CDO Bonds are non-investment grade subordinate bonds, preferred shares and ordinary shares of three CDOs. Management estimated the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected and recognized an

21

June 30, 2017

investment in the Retained CDO Bonds equal to the net present value of these discounted cash flows. There is no guarantee that the Company will realize any proceeds from this investment, or what the timing will be for the expected remaining life of the Retained CDO Bonds. The Company considers these investments to be not of high credit quality and does not expect a full recovery of interest and principal. Therefore, the Company has suspended interest income accruals on these investments. The Company classifies the Retained CDO Bonds as available for sale. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the Retained CDO Bonds to determine whether significant changes in estimated cash flows or unrealized losses on these investments, if any, reflect a decline in value which is other-than-temporary. If there is a decrease in estimated cash flows and the investment is in an unrealized loss position, the Company will record an other-than-temporary impairment, or OTTI, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. To determine the component of the OTTI related to expected credit losses, the Company compares the amortized cost basis of the Retained CDO Bonds to the present value of the revised expected cash flows, discounted using the pre-impairment effective yield. Conversely, if the security is in an unrealized gain position and there is a decrease or significant increase in expected cash flows, the Company will prospectively adjust the yield using the effective yield method. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion regarding the fair value measurement of the Retained CDO Bonds. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized no OTTI on its Retained CDO Bonds and for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized OTTI of $4,890 on its Retained CDO Bonds. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized no OTTI on its Retained CDO Bonds.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt investments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash investments in excess of insured amounts with high quality financial institutions.
Concentrations of credit risk also arise when a number of the Company’s tenants or asset management clients are engaged in similar business activities or are subject to similar economic risks or conditions that could cause their inability to meet contractual obligations to the Company. The Company regularly monitors its portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified. Excluding below-market lease amortization, no single tenant accounted for more than 10.0% of the Company’s rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, Bank of America, N.A., or BOA, accounted for 10.5% of the Company’s rental revenue, of which 5.4% pertained to amortization recorded on below-market lease liabilities. One tenant, BOA, accounted for 15.2% and 12.8% of the Company’s rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, of which 7.9% and 5.4%, respectively, pertained to amortization recorded on below-market lease liabilities. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there were three states, California, Texas, and Florida, that each accounted for 10.0% or more of the Company’s rental revenue. Following the expiration of the KBS management contract, management fees are not a significant source of the Company’s revenue and thus concentrations of management fees from specific customers is not deemed a significant credit risk.

Segment Reporting
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for the manner in which public enterprises report information about operating segments. In prior periods, the Company has viewed and presented its operations as two segments, Investments/Corporate and Asset Management. However, based upon the significant reduction in the Company’s third-party asset management operations following the expiration of the KBS management contract, as of June 30, 2017, the Company views its operations as one segment, which consists of net leasing operations. The Company has no other reportable segments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which amends the new revenue recognition guidance on identifying performance obligations. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, which clarifies the scope of gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets and provides guidance for the partial sales of nonfinancial assets in context of the new revenue standard. The new revenue recognition guidance is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the new guidance. A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue consists of rental revenue from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from the new revenue guidance, however the Company also generates revenue from operating expense reimbursements, management fees, incentive fees, and gains and impairments on disposals, which will be impacted by the new revenue standard. The Company does not believe the new revenue guidance will have a material impact on its recognition and disclosure of revenue, except as it pertains to revenue recognized for certain of its sales of unconsolidated equity investments. The Company currently expects to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The update will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company’s accounting for leases in which it is a lessor, which represents most of its leasing arrangements, will be largely unchanged under ASU 2016-02, however the Company is a lessee in several operating and ground leases and the accounting for these arrangements is more significantly impacted by the new standard. Pursuant to the new guidance, lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their

24

June 30, 2017

classification. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update serves to simplify the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of awards on the statement of cash flows. The guidance in the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Amendments to Business Combinations, which amends the current guidance to clarify the definition of a business in order to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The amendments must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 in the first quarter of 2017, as described in the “Real Estate Acquisitions” section above.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments. Under the new guidance, an impairment charge is recorded based on the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The guidance is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 with early adoption permitted for impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendment provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
3. Dispositions, Assets Held for Sale, and Discontinued Operations
Real Estate Dispositions and Impairments
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 10 and 17 properties, respectively, as well as two offices that are part of another asset. The property sales in 2017 comprised an aggregate 2,227,753 square feet and generated gross proceeds of $234,985. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a net gain on disposals of $2,002 and $19,379, respectively, related to eight and 15 properties sold during the periods, respectively, as well as two offices sold from another asset. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized impairments of $5,580 and $18,351, respectively, of which $5,052 is related to three properties held as of June 30, 2017 that were determined to have non-recoverable declines in value during the period, and the remainder is related to properties sold during the periods. Refer to Note 9 for more information on how the Company determined the non-recurring fair value of these properties.

June 30, 2017

The Company sold four and 10 properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and did not recognize a net gain on disposal or impairment loss related to these property sales. Of the properties sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017, eight of the sales were structured as like-kind exchanges within the meaning of Section 1031 of the IRC. As a result of the sales, the Company deposited $170,202 of the total sale proceeds into an IRC Section 1031 exchange escrow account with a qualified intermediary. The Company then used $140,985 of these funds as consideration for nine property acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Assets Held for Sale
The Company separately classifies properties held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company had four properties and one land parcel within another asset classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2017 with total net asset value of $6,781 and no assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016. In the normal course of business, the Company identifies non-strategic assets for sale. Real estate investments to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Once an asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization expense is no longer recorded.

4. Real Estate Investments
Property Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired 19 properties comprising 4,750,354 square feet for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $302,412, including the acquisition of a consolidated VIE for $29,605, a vacant property for $2,400, and two land parcels for $6,840. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired two land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $2,800, on which it has committed to construct an industrial facility for an estimated $25,805 with projected completion in October 2017 and an industrial facility for an estimated $23,272 with projected completion in March 2018. Total value of the properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was comprised of $277,979 of real estate assets, $29,892 of intangible assets, and $2,709 of intangible liabilities, including acquisition costs capitalized for the asset acquisitions.
Property Purchase Price Allocations
As described in Note 2, during the first quarter of 2017 the Company adopted ASU 2017-01, Amendments to Business Combinations, which amends the definition of a business and provides a revised framework for the determination of whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The Company evaluated its real estate acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2017 under the new framework and, accordingly, accounted for the transactions as asset acquisitions. Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-01 in 2017, the majority of the Company’s acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations. Of the acquisitions prior to 2017, there were 21 properties acquired in 2016 that were accounted for as business combinations which had preliminary purchase price allocations recorded as of December 31, 2016. The Company finalized the purchase price allocations of these 21 properties during the first quarter of 2017. The aggregate changes recorded from the preliminary purchase price allocations to the finalized purchase price allocations, are shown in the table below and are reflected in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017:

5. Unconsolidated Equity Investments
The Company accounts for substantially all of its unconsolidated equity investments under the equity method of accounting because it exercises significant influence, but does not unilaterally control the entities, and is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. In unconsolidated equity investments, the rights of the other investors are protective and participating. Unless the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, these rights preclude it from consolidating the investments. The investments are recorded initially at cost as unconsolidated equity investments, as applicable, and subsequently are adjusted for equity interest in net income and contributions and distributions. The amount of the investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is evaluated for impairment at each reporting period. None of the unconsolidated equity investment debt is recourse to the Company. Transactions with unconsolidated equity method entities are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s ownership in each such entity. Accordingly, the Company’s share of net income of these equity method entities is included in consolidated net income.
As a result of the Merger in 2015, the Company acquired an interest in four unconsolidated entities, the Goodman Europe JV, the Goodman UK JV, the Duke JV, and CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. The Company’s equity investment in the entities was fair valued on the Merger closing date, and the difference between the historical carrying value of the net assets and the fair value was recorded as a basis difference, which is amortized to equity in net income from unconsolidated equity investments over the remaining weighted average useful life of the underlying assets of each entity.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company paid off the mortgage notes on two properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company refinanced the debt on two properties encumbered by a mortgage loan for $10,456 and subsequently transferred the mortgage on these two properties to the buyer of the properties.

Unsecured Debt
2015 Credit Facility and Term Loans
In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement, or the Credit Agreement, for a new $1,900,000 credit facility, or the 2015 Credit Facility, consisting of an $850,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, and $1,050,000 term loan facility with JPMorgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated and terminated Legacy Gramercy's 2014 Credit Facility. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility consists of a $750,000 U.S. dollar revolving credit facility and a $100,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility matures in January 2020, but may be extended for two additional six month periods upon the payment of applicable fees and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The term loan facility, or the 2015 Term Loan, consists of a $300,000 term loan facility that matures in January 2019 with one 12-month extension option, or the 3-Year Term Loan, and a $750,000 term loan facility that matures in January 2021, or the 5-Year Term Loan.
Outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility incur interest at a floating rate based upon, at the Company’s option, either (i) adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.55%, depending on the Company’s credit ratings, or (ii) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55%, depending on the Company’s credit ratings. The Company is also required to pay quarterly in arrears a 0.125% to 0.30% facility fee, depending on the Company's credit ratings, on the total commitments under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. Outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Term Loan incur interest at a floating rate based upon, at the Company’s option, either (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75%, depending on the Company’s credit ratings, or (ii) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75%, depending on the Company’s credit ratings. The alternate base rate is the greater of (x) the prime rate announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (y) 0.50% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (z) the adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%.
In December 2015, the Company also entered into a new $175,000 seven-year unsecured term loan with Capital One, N.A., or the 7-Year Term Loan, which matures in January 2023. Outstanding borrowings under the 7-Year Term Loan incur interest at a floating rate based upon, at the Company’s option, either (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.30% to 2.10%, depending on the Company’s credit ratings, or (iii) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.30% to 1.10%, depending on the Company’s credit ratings. The alternate base rate is the greatest of (x) the prime rate announced by Capital One, (y) 0.50% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (z) the adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%.
The Company’s unsecured borrowing facilities include a series of financial and other covenants that the Company has to comply with in order to borrow under the facilities. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the facilities as of June 30, 2017. Refer to the table at the end of Note 6 for specific terms and the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the facilities.

The Exchangeable Senior Notes will also be exchangeable prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, at any time beginning on December 15, 2018, and also upon the occurrence of certain events. On or after March 20, 2017, in certain circumstances, the Operating Partnership may redeem all or part of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. During June 2017, the Exchangeable Senior Notes became convertible at the option of the Company. As of July 1, 2017, the Exchangeable Senior Notes are exchangeable at the option of the holders during the period from July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017, after which the exchange right is subject to continuation based upon the prevailing exchange rate and the Company’s share prices during the exchange windows. As of June 30, 2017, if the Exchangeable Senior Notes were redeemed, they would be eligible for conversion into 5,258,428 of the Company’s common shares, representing a value of $156,228 based upon the Company’s closing share price of $29.71. As of June 30, 2017, there have been no exchanges or conversions of the Exchangeable Senior Notes.
As of June 30, 2017, the Exchangeable Senior Notes have a current exchange rate of 14.3349 units of Merger consideration, where one unit of Merger consideration represents 3.1898 of the Company's common shares, or approximately 45.7255 of the Company's common shares for each $1.0 principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes, representing an exchange price of $21.87 per common share of the Company. The fair value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes was determined at issuance to be $106,689. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the Exchangeable Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Exchangeable Senior Notes were recorded as a liability at carrying value of $110,154 and $108,832, respectively, net of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs of $4,846 and $6,168, respectively. The fair value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes’ embedded exchange option of $11,726 was recorded in additional paid-in-capital within shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

8. Transactions with Trustee Related Entities and Related Parties
In December 2016, the Company sold its 5.1% interest in one property located in Lille, France held by the Goodman Europe JV to the Gramercy European Property Fund, in which the Company had a 14.2% ownership interest, for gross proceeds of $2,662 (€2,563). In July 2017, the Gramercy European Property Fund sold 100.0% of its assets to an unrelated third party. Refer to Note 17 for more information on the sale transaction.
On June 30, 2016, the Company sold 74.9% of its outstanding 80.0% interest in the Goodman Europe JV to the Gramercy European Property Fund, in which the Company had a 14.2% interest as of June 30, 2017. The Company made cumulative contributions of $55,892 (€50,000) to the Gramercy European Property Fund and had a remaining funding commitment of $14,283 (€12,500) as of June 30, 2017. The Company’s CEO, who was on the board of directors, also had capital commitments to the investment, as noted below. The Company sold 74.9% of its interest in the Goodman Europe JV to the Gramercy European Property Fund for gross proceeds of $148,884 (€134,336), based on third-party valuations for the underlying properties. The Company’s sale of 74.9% of its interest in the Goodman Europe JV resulted in the Company recording a gain of $5,341 during the period, primarily related to depreciation and amortization recorded since Merger closing date. Following the sale transaction, the Company had a 5.1% continuing direct interest in the Goodman Europe JV. The transaction was entered into in order to achieve efficiencies from the combination of the two European platforms.
The Company’s CEO, Gordon F. DuGan, was on the board of directors of the Gramercy European Property Fund prior to its sale in July 2017 and committed and fully funded approximately $1,388 (€1,250) in capital to the Gramercy European Property Fund. The two Managing Directors of Gramercy Europe Asset Management collectively committed and fully funded approximately $1,388 (€1,250) in capital to the Gramercy European Property Fund.
One of the properties acquired in December 2015 as part of the Merger was partially leased to Duke Realty, the Company’s partner in the Duke JV. Duke Realty acted as the managing member of the Duke JV, which was dissolved in July 2016 as described in Note 5, and as such provided asset management, construction, development, leasing and property management services, for which it was entitled to fees as well as a promoted interest. From the date of the Merger through lease expiration in May 2016, Duke Realty leased 30,777 square feet of one of the Company’s office properties located in Minnesota which had an aggregate 322,551 rentable square feet. Duke Realty paid the Company $156 and $333 under the lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. See Note 5 for more information on the Company’s transactions with the Duke JV.

9. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” among other things, establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments and other assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, or an exit price. The Company discloses fair value information, whether or not recognized in the financial statements, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based upon the application of discount rates to estimated future cash flows based upon market yields or by using other valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments and other assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts.
The level of pricing observability generally correlates to the degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities. The three broad levels defined are as follows:
Level I - This level is comprised of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities that have quoted prices that are available in liquid markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level II - This level is comprised of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities for which quoted prices are available but which are traded less frequently and instruments that are measured at fair value using management’s judgment, where the inputs into the determination of fair value can be directly observed.
Level III - This level is comprised of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments do not have active markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment and assumptions.

Marketable securities represent the Company’s investment in U.S. treasury securities, which are classified in cash and cash equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
2.
Amounts as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 represent three and one real estate investments, respectively, that were impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and were owned as of the end of the respective reporting periods.
3.
Long-term debt instruments are classified as Level III due to the significance of unobservable inputs which are based upon management assumptions.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the value:
Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accrued interest, and accounts payable: These balances in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reasonably approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Retained CDO Bonds: Non-investment grade, subordinate CDO bonds, preferred shares and ordinary shares are presented in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value, which is determined using an internally developed discounted cash flow model.
CBRE Strategic Partners Asia: The investment manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia applies valuation techniques for the Company’s investment carried at fair value based upon the application of the income approach, the direct market comparison approach, the replacement cost approach or third-party appraisals to the underlying assets held in the unconsolidated entity in determining the net asset value attributable to the Company’s ownership interest therein. Refer to Note 5 for more information on this investment.

Real estate investments: Real estate investments impaired during a period are reported at estimated fair value and real estate investments impaired during a period that are classified as held for sale as of the end of the period are reported at estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments, which are comprised of interest rate swap agreements, are carried at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based upon third-party valuations. Derivative fair values are presented within other assets or other liabilities, depending on the balance at the end of the period. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that represent realized gains (losses) are recorded within interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 10 for more information on the derivative instruments.
Mortgage notes payable, unsecured term loans, unsecured revolving credit facilities and senior unsecured notes: These instruments are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at amortized cost and not at fair value. The fair value of each instrument is estimated by a discounted cash flows model, using discount rates that best reflect current market rates for financings with similar characteristics and credit quality. Mortgage premiums and discounts are amortized to interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations using the effective interest method over the terms of the related notes. Refer to Note 6 for more information on these instruments.
Exchangeable Senior Notes: The Exchangeable Senior Notes are presented at amortized cost on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value is determined based upon a discounted cash-flow methodology using discount rates that best reflect current market rates for instruments with similar with characteristics and credit quality. Refer to Note 6 for more information on these instruments.
Disclosure about fair value measurements is based on pertinent information available to the Company at the reporting date. Although the Company is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for the purpose of these financial statements since June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
The following discussion of fair value was determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets or liabilities. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment and the Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

Valuation of Level III Instruments
Retained CDO Bonds: Retained CDO Bonds are valued on a recurring basis using an internally developed discounted cash flow model. Management estimates the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected and applies a discount rate equal to the yield that the Company would expect to pay for similar securities with similar risks at the valuation date. Future expected cash flows generated by management require significant assumptions and judgment regarding the expected resolution of the underlying collateral, which primarily consists of commercial mortgage backed securities. The resolution of the underlying collateral requires further management assumptions regarding timing of workouts and recoveries, loan loss severities and other factors. The models are most sensitive to the unobservable inputs such as the amount of the recoveries of the underlying securities. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation as well as any change in the expected timing of those inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Due to the inherent uncertainty in the determination of fair value, the Company has designated its Retained CDO Bonds as Level III.
Investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia: The Company’s investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia is based on the Level III valuation inputs applied by the investment manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia, utilizing a mix of different approaches for valuing the underlying real estate related investments within the investment company. The approaches include the income approach, direct market comparison approach and the replacement cost approach

for newer properties. For investments owned more than one year, except for investments under construction or incurring significant renovation, CBRE Strategic Partners Asia obtains a third-party appraisal. For investments in real estate under construction or incurring significant renovation, the valuation analysis is prepared by the investment manager of CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. The valuations are most sensitive to the unobservable inputs of discount rates, as well as capitalization rates an expected future cash flows, and significant increases (decreases) in these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The fund’s term ended in January 2017 and commencement of the fund's liquidation was filed in early February 2017. The fund will wind up over the succeeding 24 months.
Real estate investments: Real estate investments impaired during a period are reported at estimated fair value and real estate investments impaired during a period that are classified as held for sale as of the end of the period are reported at estimated fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of real estate investments and their related lease intangibles is determined using third-party valuation support, including purchase-sale contracts and other available market information. Key assumptions in the valuations, to which the fair value determinations are most sensitive, include discount and capitalization rates as well as expected future cash flows. Significant increases (decreases) in these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. As the inputs are unobservable, the Company determined the inputs used to value this liability falls within Level III for fair value reporting.
Derivative instruments: Interest rate swaps are valued with the assistance of a third-party derivative specialist using a discounted cash flow model, which requires a combination of observable market-based inputs, such as interest rate curves, and unobservable inputs which require significant judgment such as the credit valuation adjustments due to the risk of nonperformance by both the Company and its counterparties. The most significant unobservable input in the fair valuation of derivative instruments is the credit valuation adjustment as it requires significant management judgment regarding changes in the credit risk of the Company or its counterparties, however the primary driver of the fair value of the interest rate swaps is the forward interest rate curve.
Total unrealized gains (losses) from derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $(2,692) and $1,686, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income. Total unrealized losses from derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $11,460 and $33,649, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company measured its real estate investments impaired during the period, including both assets classified as held for sale and assets held for investment, on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company recorded impairment on these assets as a result of a change in intent to hold the real estate investments. Real estate investments impaired during the period are reported at estimated fair value and real estate investments impaired during the period that are classified as held for sale as of the end of the period are reported at estimated fair value less costs to sell. The Company measured three assets on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2017, of which two were classified as held for investment with a total value of $2,138 and one was classified as held for sale with a value of $372 as of June 30, 2017. The Company measured one asset on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2016, which was classified as held for sale and recorded at $2,413 as of December 31, 2016.
10. Derivatives and Non-Derivative Hedging Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and foreign exchange rate changes. The Company limits these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives and net investment hedges. The Company uses a variety of derivative instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risk. The Company enters into hedging and derivative instruments that will be maximally effective in reducing the interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This effectiveness is essential for qualifying for hedge accounting. Instruments that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the derivative contract. The Company uses a variety of commonly used derivative products that are considered “plain vanilla” derivatives. These derivatives typically include interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors. The Company expressly prohibits the use of unconventional derivative instruments and using derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Further, the Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors.
The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value within other assets or other liabilities, depending on the balance at the end of the period. Derivatives that are not designated as

50

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except share, unit, per share, per unit, and property data)
June 30, 2017

hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative accounting may increase or decrease reported net income and shareholders’ equity prospectively, depending on future levels of the LIBOR swap spreads and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows, provided the contract is carried through to full term. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the Company's derivative instruments, including the fair value measurement of these instruments.
Borrowings on the Company’s multicurrency tranche of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, which are designated as non-derivative net investment hedges, are recognized at par value based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the draw. Subsequent changes in the exchange rate of the Company’s non-derivative net investment hedge are recognized as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive income.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps, which are cash flow hedges. Through its interest rate swaps, the Company is hedging exposure to variability in future interest payments on its debt facilities. At June 30, 2017, the Company's interest rate swap derivative instruments were reported in other assets at fair value of $5,319 and in other liabilities at fair value of $(518). Swap gain (loss) is recognized in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and represents interest rate swap hedge ineffectiveness, or amounts excluded from ineffectiveness, which relates to the off-market financing element associated with certain derivatives. Swap gain of $0 and $46 was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and swap gain of $2,564 and $734 was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reclassified $271 and $539,

respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense related to a derivative terminated in 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reclassified $271 and $631, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense related to a derivative terminated in 2015. Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. During the next 12 months, the Company expects that $1,911 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase in interest expense for the Company’s interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company will recognize $2,111 in interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining original term of terminated swaps through June 2019, representing amortization of the remaining accumulated other comprehensive income balance related to the swap, and of this amount $1,087 will be recognized in interest expense during the next 12 months.
The Company hedges its investments based in foreign currencies using non-derivative net investment hedges in conjunction with borrowings under the multicurrency tranche of its 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s non-derivative net investment hedge on its euro-denominated investments, which was entered into in September 2015, is used to hedge exposure to changes in the euro U.S. dollar exchange rate underlying its unconsolidated equity investments in the Gramercy European Property Fund and the Goodman Europe JV, both of which have euros as their functional currency. The Company’s non-derivative net investment hedge on its British pound sterling-denominated investments, which was entered into in July 2016, is used to hedge exposure to changes in the British pound sterling U.S. dollar exchange rate underlying its unconsolidated equity investment in the Goodman UK JV and its wholly-owned property in Coventry, UK until its disposition in December 2016, both of which have British pounds sterling as their functional currency. At June 30, 2017, the non-derivative net investment hedge value is reported at carrying value as a net liability of $70,955, which is included in the balance of the senior unsecured revolving credit facility on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss of $4,196 and $5,119, respectively, in other comprehensive income from the impact of exchange rates related to the non-derivative net investment hedges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a net gain (loss) of $970 and $(66), respectively, in other comprehensive income from the impact of exchange rates related to the non-derivative net investment hedges. When the non-derivative net investments being hedged are sold or substantially liquidated, the balance of the translation adjustment accumulated in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings.
11. Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit) of the Company
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company's authorized capital shares consists of 500,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of which the Company is authorized to issue up to 490,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, or common shares, and 10,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, or preferred shares. As of June 30, 2017, 151,889,880 common shares and 3,500,000 preferred shares were issued and outstanding.

At-The-Market Equity Offering Program
In July 2016, the Company’s board of trustees approved the establishment of an “at the market” equity issuance program, or ATM Program, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell common shares with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $375,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not sell any common shares through the ATM Program and during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 731,453 common shares through the ATM Program for net proceeds of approximately $19,700.
Preferred Shares
Holders of the Company's 7.125% Series A Preferred Shares, or Series A Preferred Shares, are entitled to receive annual dividends of $1.78125 per share on a quarterly basis and dividends are cumulative, subject to certain provisions.

June 30, 2017, the Company had 3,500,000 of its Series A Preferred Shares outstanding with a mandatory liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.
Equity Incentive Plans
In June 2016, the Company instituted its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company’s board of trustees and shareholders. As of June 30, 2017, there were 3,336,525 shares available for grant under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards using fair value recognition provisions and assumes an estimated forfeiture rate which impacts the amount of compensation cost recognized over the benefit period.
Through June 30, 2017, 908,985 restricted shares had been issued under the Company’s equity incentive plans, including the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and the Company’s previous equity incentive plans, of which 73.1% have vested. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had 354,136 and 318,807 weighted average restricted shares outstanding, respectively.
Compensation expense of $755 and $1,572 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, related to the Company’s equity incentive plans. Compensation expense of $604 and $1,087 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to the Company’s equity incentive plans. Compensation expense of $5,089 will be recorded over the course of the next 33 months representing the remaining weighted average vesting period of equity awards issued under the equity incentive plans as of June 30, 2017.
Compensation expense of $1,070 and $2,126 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, for the Company's Outperformance Plans. Compensation expense of $488 and $976 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, for the Company's Outperformance Plans. Compensation expense of $5,896 will be recorded over the course of the next 37 months, representing the remaining weighted average vesting period of the awards issued under the Outperformance Plans as of June 30, 2017.
Earnings per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share, or EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings attributable to certain participating securities, if any, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares, as long as their inclusion would not be anti-dilutive. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology that determines EPS for common shares and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company has certain share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends, which are considered participating securities for the purposes of computing EPS pursuant to the two-class method, and therefore the Company applies the two-class method in its computation of EPS.

Share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the 1-for-3 reverse share split completed on December 30, 2016.
The Company’s options and other share-based payment awards used in the computation of EPS were calculated using the treasury share method. The Company only includes the effect of the excess conversion premium in the calculation of Diluted EPS, as the Company has the intent and ability to settle the debt component of the Exchangeable Senior Notes in cash and the excess conversion premium in shares.
The weighted average price of the Company’s common shares as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 was above the exchange price of the Exchangeable Senior Notes as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and the Company had net income available to common shares outstanding during the periods, therefore, the potential dilutive effect of the excess conversion premium was included in the calculation of Diluted EPS for the periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the net income (loss) attributable to the outside interests in the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and 560,443 and 590,547, respectively, of weighted average shares related to the outside interests in the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating Diluted EPS as there would have been no effect had such amounts been included. Refer to Note 13 for more information on the outside interests in the Operating Partnership.

Share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the 1-for-3 reverse unit split completed on December 30, 2016.
13. Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the outside equity interests in the Operating Partnership as well as third-party equity interests in the Company’s other consolidated subsidiaries.
Outside equity interests in Operating Partnership
The outside equity interests in the Operating Partnership include common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, or OP Units, and the earned and vested portion of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership granted by the Company pursuant to its share-based compensation plans, or LTIP Units, which are convertible on a one-for-one basis into OP Units. The aggregate outstanding noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2017 represented an interest of approximately 0.36% in the Operating Partnership. A portion of the Operating Partnership’s net income (loss) during each reporting period is attributed to noncontrolling interests based on the weighted average percentage ownership of both OP Unit holders and earned and vested LTIP Unit holders relative to the sum of the Company’s total outstanding common shares, OP Units, and earned and vested LTIP Units.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Funding Commitments
During March 2017, construction was completed on the Company’s build-to-suit property in Round Rock, Texas, which the Company acquired upon completion for $29,605. As of June 30, 2017, the Company is obligated to fund the development of three build-to-suit industrial properties, for which it has remaining cumulative future commitments of $57,199.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company made cumulative contributions to the Gramercy European Property Fund of $55,892 (€50,000). As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s remaining commitment to the Gramercy European Property Fund was $14,283 (€12,500), however in July 2017, the Gramercy European Property Fund sold 100.0% of its assets to a third party. Foreign currency commitments have been converted into U.S. dollars based on (i) the foreign exchange rate at the closing date for completed transactions and (ii) the exchange rate that prevailed on June 30, 2017, in the case of unfunded commitments.
The Company has committed to fund $100,000 to Strategic Office Partners, of which $23,427 and $16,027 was funded as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. See Note 5 for further information on the Gramercy European Property Fund and Strategic Office Partners.
Legal Proceedings
The Company evaluates litigation contingencies based on information currently available, including the advice of counsel and the assessment of available insurance coverage. The Company will establish accruals for litigation and claims when a loss contingency is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. The Company will periodically review these contingencies which may be adjusted if circumstances change. The outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential losses at particular points may be difficult to ascertain. If a range of loss is estimated and an amount within such range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within that range, then that amount is accrued.
Legacy Gramercy, its board of directors, and Chambers were named as defendants in various putative class action lawsuits brought by purported Legacy Gramercy stockholders challenging the Merger. The lawsuits were consolidated into a New York state court action, or the New York Action, and a Maryland state court action, or the Maryland Action. On March 1, 2017, the court entered a Final Order and Judgment approving the settlement, awarding plaintiffs’ attorney fees and expenses, and dismissing the New York Action with prejudice. On March 22, 2017, pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, plaintiffs in the Maryland Action filed a notice of dismissal with prejudice with the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Maryland, which the court entered on April 11, 2017.
In connection with the Company’s property acquisitions and the Merger, the Company has determined that there is a risk it will have to pay future amounts to tenants related to continuing operating expense reimbursement audits. In 2017, the Company settled the majority of its operating expense reimbursement audits and paid $3,500 pursuant to the settlement in February 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has estimated a range of loss of $0 to $360 and determined that its best estimate of total loss is $360, which is related to the Merger and has been accrued and recorded in other liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

In addition, the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries is party to various litigation matters that are considered routine litigation incidental to its business, none of which are considered material.
Office Leases
The Company has several office locations, which are each subject to operating lease agreements. These office locations include the Company’s corporate office at 90 Park Avenue, New York, New York, and the Company’s seven regional offices located across the United States and Europe.
Capital and Operating Ground Leases
Certain properties acquired are subject to ground leases, which are accounted for as operating and capital leases, as applicable. The ground leases have varying ending dates, renewal options and rental rate escalations, with the latest lease extending to June 2053. Future minimum rental payments to be made by the Company under these non-cancelable ground leases, excluding increases resulting from increases in the consumer price index, are as follows:

15. Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually at least 90.0% of its ordinary taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that it distributes to its shareholders. The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership and therefore is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes as income is reported in the tax returns of its partners. The Operating Partnership may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes. The Operating Partnership has in the past established taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, to effect various taxable transactions. Typical transactions that could cause these TRSs to be subject to federal, state and local taxes would include, but are not limited to, gains on property sales and management fee income.
The asset management agreement with KBS expired on March 31, 2017 and, consequently, the tax expense from the Operating Partnership’s TRS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was immaterial and the activity in the TRS will be immaterial going forward. Prior to 2017, income taxes, primarily related to TRSs, were accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities recorded in accordance with GAAP and their respective tax basis and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences were expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance was provided if the Company believed it was more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset would not be realized. Any increase or decrease in a valuation

June 30, 2017

allowance was included in the tax provision when such a change occurs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company recorded $147 and ($49) of income tax expense (benefit), respectively.
The Company’s policy for interest and penalties, if any, on material uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements is to classify these as interest expense and operating expense, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not incur any material interest or penalties.

17. Subsequent Events

In August 2017, the Company declared a third quarter 2017 common dividend of $0.375 per share, payable on October 16, 2017 to shareholders of record as of September 29, 2017. In August 2017, the Company also declared a third quarter 2017 dividend on its 7.125% Series A Preferred Shares in the amount of $0.44531 per share, payable on October 2, 2017 to preferred shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 20, 2017.
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company closed on the acquisition of five industrial properties which comprise an aggregate 4,012,362 rentable square feet, including three covered land industrial parcels, which are 100.0% occupied and were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $148,765. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company closed on the disposition of five office properties and one industrial property which comprised an aggregate 95,026 rentable square feet for gross proceeds of approximately $16,355.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands, except share, unit, per share, per unit, and property data)
Overview
Gramercy Property Trust, or the Company or Gramercy, a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, together with its subsidiary, GPT Operating Partnership LP, or the Operating Partnership, is a leading global investor and asset manager of commercial real estate. We specialize in acquiring and managing high quality, income producing commercial real estate leased to high quality tenants in major markets in the United States and Europe.
We earn revenues primarily through rental revenues on properties that we own in the United States and asset management revenues on properties owned by third parties in the United States and Europe. We also own unconsolidated equity investments in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Our operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. As of June 30, 2017, third-party holders of limited partnership interests owned approximately 0.36% of the Operating Partnership. These interests are referred to as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.
As of June 30, 2017, our wholly-owned portfolio consists of 320 properties comprising 67,485,724 rentable square feet with 97.7% occupancy. As of June 30, 2017, we have ownership interests in 52 industrial and office properties which are held in unconsolidated equity investments in the United States and Europe and two properties held through the investment in CBRE Strategic Partners Asia. As of June 30, 2017, we manage approximately $1,341,000 of commercial real estate assets, primarily on behalf of our joint venture partners, including approximately $1,048,000 of assets in Europe.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we acquired 19 properties aggregating 4,750,354 square feet for a total purchase price of approximately $302,412, including the acquisition of a previously consolidated variable interest entity, or VIE, for $29,605, a vacant property for $2,400, and two land parcels for $6,840. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we acquired two land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $2,800, on which we have committed to construct industrial facilities for an estimated $49,077. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold 17 properties and two offices from another asset aggregating 2,227,753 square feet for total gross proceeds of approximately $234,985.
Prior to December 17, 2015, we were known as Chambers Street Properties, or Chambers. On December 17, 2015, Chambers completed a merger, or the Merger, with Gramercy Property Trust Inc., or Legacy Gramercy. While Chambers was the surviving legal entity, immediately following consummation of the Merger, we changed our name to “Gramercy Property Trust” and our New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, trading symbol to “GPT.”
Gramercy Property Trust has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, and generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent we distribute our taxable income, if any, to our shareholders. The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership and therefore is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes as income is reported in the tax returns of its partners. We have in the past established, and may in the future establish taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, to effect various taxable transactions. Those TRSs are subject to federal, state and local taxes on the taxable income from their activities.
Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “Company,” “Gramercy,” “we,” “our,” and “us” mean Legacy Gramercy and its subsidiaries, including Legacy Gramercy’s operating partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries, for

62


the periods prior to the Merger closing and Gramercy Property Trust and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries, for periods following the Merger closing.

The increase of $9,744 in rental revenue is due to the increase in our wholly-owned property portfolio of 320 properties as of June 30, 2017 compared to 289 properties as of June 30, 2016.
The decrease of $16,672 in third-party management fees is primarily attributable to a decrease of $17,415 in asset management, property management, and accounting fees earned from our contract with KBS primarily due to property sales from the portfolio subsequent to June 30, 2016 and the expiration of the contract on March 31, 2017, which is partially offset by an increase of $365 in revenue from our European management platform during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.
The decrease of $2,277 in operating expense reimbursements is due to the reduction in our office portfolio from 108 office properties as of June 30, 2016 to 60 office properties as of June 30, 2017.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, other income is primarily comprised of lease termination fees of $758 and property related income of $655. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, other income is primarily comprised of investment income of $503, property related income of $309 and realized foreign currency exchange loss of $186.

Property operating expenses are comprised of expenses directly attributable to our real estate portfolio. Property operating expenses include property related costs which we are responsible for during the lease term but can be passed through to the tenant as operating expense reimbursement revenue. The decrease of $291 is due to decreases in utility and other miscellaneous operating expenses, slightly offset by increases in real estate tax expenses, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Property management expenses are comprised of costs related to our asset and property management business. The decrease of $3,156 in property management expenses is primarily related to the reduction of expenses related to KBS arrangement which ended as of March 31, 2017. The decrease is partially offset by the increase in expenses related to our European management platform.
The increase of $1,638 in depreciation and amortization expense is due to our wholly-owned property portfolio of 320 properties as of June 30, 2017 compared to 289 properties as of June 30, 2016.
The increase of $1,095 in general and administrative expense is primarily related to increased professional fees and as well as increased compensation costs, including share-based compensation costs, related to the growth of the Company.
The decrease of $4,312 in acquisition expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2017 is attributable to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, Amendments to Business Combinations, in the first quarter of 2017, as a result of which our real estate acquisitions during the period were accounted for as asset acquisitions and thus the related acquisition costs were capitalized into the value of the real estate assets acquired.
The increase of $6,330 in interest expense is primarily due to our unsecured senior notes which were issued in December 2016 and the mortgages we assumed on our real estate acquisitions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a gain of $7,229 related to the distribution of seven properties from our Duke JV during the period.

65


During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt of $(268) and $1,356, respectively, related to the unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts that were immediately expensed upon termination as well as early termination fees incurred related to mortgages paid off and transferred during the periods.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized an impairment on real estate investments of $5,580 related to three properties held as of June 30, 2017 that were determined to have non-recoverable declines in value during the period.
The provision for taxes was $147 and $2,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in tax expense is primarily attributable to the decrease in activity in our TRS and the KBS arrangement, which ended in the first quarter of 2017.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we realized a net gain on disposals of $2,002 related to the disposition of eight properties and two offices from another asset during the period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a gain of $5,341 related to the sale of our 74.9% interest in the Goodman Europe JV during the period.

The increase of $20,931 in rental revenue is due to our wholly-owned property portfolio of 320 properties as of June 30, 2017 compared to 289 properties as of June 30, 2016.
The decrease of $17,126 in third-party management fees is primarily attributable to a decrease of $18,610 in asset management, property management, and accounting fees earned from our contract with KBS primarily due to property sales from the portfolio subsequent to June 30, 2016 and the expiration of the contract on March 31, 2017, which is partially offset by an increase of $950 in revenue from our European management platform during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.
The decrease of $4,491 in operating expense reimbursements is due to the reduction in our office portfolio from 108 office properties as of June 30, 2016 to 60 office properties as of June 30, 2017.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, other income is primarily comprised of investment income of $899, property related income of $1,588, and lease termination fees of $953. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, other income is primarily comprised of investment income of $884 and property related income of $574.
The equity in net income (loss) of unconsolidated equity investments of $154 and $(2,923) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, represents our proportionate share of the loss generated by our unconsolidated equity investments.

Property operating expenses are comprised of expenses directly attributable to our real estate portfolio. Property operating expenses include property related costs which we are responsible for during the lease term but can be passed through to the tenant as operating expense reimbursement revenue. The decrease of $1,274 is due to decreases in utility and other miscellaneous operating expenses, slightly offset by increases in real estate tax expenses, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Property management expenses are comprised of costs related to our asset and property management business. The decrease of $4,593 in property management expenses is primarily related to the reduction of expenses related to our KBS arrangement which ended in the first quarter of 2017. The decrease is partially offset by the increase in expenses related to our European management platform.
The increase of $5,607 in depreciation and amortization expense is due to our wholly-owned property portfolio of 320 properties as of June 30, 2017 compared to 289 properties as of June 30, 2016.
The increase of $2,129 in general and administrative expense is primarily related to increased professional fees and as well as increased compensation costs, including share-based compensation costs, related to the growth of the Company.
The decrease of $4,722 in acquisition expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is attributable to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, Amendments to Business Combinations, in the first quarter of 2017, as a result of which our real estate acquisitions during the period were accounted for as asset acquisitions and thus the related acquisition costs were capitalized into the value of the real estate assets acquired.
The increase of $7,433 in interest expense is primarily due to increased borrowings on our unsecured senior notes which were issued in December 2016 and the mortgages we assumed on our real estate acquisitions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded net impairment recognized in earnings of $4,890 on our Retained CDO Bonds due to adverse changes in expected cash flows related to the Retained CDO Bonds.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a gain of $7,229 related to the distribution of seven properties from our Duke JV during the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt of $(60) and $7,113, respectively, related to the unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts that were immediately expensed upon termination as well as early termination fees incurred related to mortgages paid off and transferred during the periods.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized an impairment on real estate investments of $18,351 related to two properties sold during the period as well as three properties held as of June 30, 2017 that were determined to have non-recoverable declines in value during the period.
The provision for taxes was $(49) and $3,403 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in tax expense is primarily attributable to the decrease in activity in our TRS and the KBS arrangement which ended in the first quarter of 2017.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we realized a net gain on disposals of $19,379 related to the disposition of 15 properties and two offices from another asset during the period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a gain of $5,341 related to the sale of our 74.9% interest in the Goodman Europe JV during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund acquisitions of real estate assets, repay borrowings, pay dividends and other general business needs. In addition to cash on hand, our primary sources of funds for short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including working capital, distributions, debt service and additional investments, consist of: (i) proceeds from our common equity and debt offerings;(ii) proceeds from sales of real estate;(iii) borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans; and (iv) cash flow from operations. We believe these sources of financing will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.
Our cash flow from operations primarily consists of rental revenue, expense reimbursements from tenants, and third-party management fees. Our cash flow from operations is our principal source of funds that we use to pay operating expenses, debt service, general and administrative expenses, operating capital expenditures, dividends, and acquisition and merger-related expenses. Our ability to fund our short-term liquidity needs, including debt service and general operations (including employment related benefit expenses), through cash flow from operations can be evaluated through the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our ability to borrow under our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and term loan facilities is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants including our maximum secured and unsecured leverage ratios, minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, consolidated adjusted net worth values, unencumbered asset values, occupancy rates, and portfolio lease terms.
We have several unconsolidated equity investments with partners who we consider to be financially stable. Our unconsolidated equity investments are financed with non-recourse debt or equity. We believe that cash flows from the underlying real estate investments and capital commitments will be sufficient to fund the capital needs of our unconsolidated equity investments.

69


To maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must distribute annually at least 90.0% of our taxable income. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital for operations. As of the date of this filing, we expect that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated short-term and long-term liquidity needs as well as our recourse liabilities, if any.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $51,741 to $126,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $74,302 for the same period in 2016. Operating cash flow was generated primarily by net rental revenue from our real estate investments.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $157,178 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $341,043 during the same period in 2016. The decrease in cash flow related to investing activities in 2017 is primarily attributable to reduced proceeds from sales of real estates and sales of our interests in unconsolidated equity investments, as well as decreased distributions from our unconsolidated equity investments and increased capital expenditures on our owned portfolio of real estate investments.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $127,193 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $358,366 during the same period in 2016. The increase in cash flow in 2017 is primarily attributable to payoffs of certain mortgage notes and paydowns made on the unsecured revolving credit facility in 2016 as well as proceeds from sales of our common shares in 2017.
Equity Structure
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our authorized capital shares consists of 500,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of which we are authorized to issue up to 490,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, or common shares, and 10,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, or preferred shares. As of June 30, 2017, 151,889,880 common shares and 3,500,000 preferred shares were issued and outstanding.
In December 2016, our board of trustees approved a 1-for-3 reverse share split of our common shares and outstanding OP Units. The reverse share split was effective after the close of trading on December 30, 2016 and our common shares began trading on a reverse-split-adjusted basis on the NYSE on January 3, 2017.
In April 2017, we completed an underwritten public offering of 10,350,000 common shares, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase 1,350,000 additional common shares. The common shares were issued at a public offering price of $27.60 per share and the net proceeds from the offering were approximately $274,234.
Market Capitalization
At June 30, 2017, our consolidated market capitalization was $6,998,245 based on a common share price of $29.71 per share, the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on June 30, 2017. Market capitalization includes consolidated debt and common and preferred shares.

Dividends 
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must pay annual dividends to our shareholders of at least 90.0% of our REIT taxable income, determined before taking into consideration the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, which would only be paid out of available cash, we must first meet both our operating requirements and scheduled debt service on our mortgages and other loans payable. Dividends per share declared during 2016 and 2017 are as follows:

Secured Debt
Mortgage Notes
Certain real estate assets are subject to mortgage notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we assumed $3,680 of non-recourse mortgages in connection with one real estate acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we assumed $244,188 of non-recourse mortgages in connection with 27 real estate acquisitions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid off the mortgage notes on two properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we refinanced the debt on two properties encumbered by a mortgage loan for $10,456 and subsequently transferred the mortgage on these two properties to the buyer of the properties. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a net gain on the early extinguishment of debt of $268 and $60, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we paid off the mortgage notes on two and eight properties, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2016, we transferred one property encumbered by a mortgage note. As a result of the loan payoffs and transfer, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a net gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt of $(1,356) and $(7,113), including net gains on extinguishment of debt of $0 and $1,930 within discontinued operations, respectively. Our gains and losses recorded for extinguishments of debt are related to unamortized deferred financing costs and mortgage premiums and discounts that were immediately expensed upon termination as well as early termination fees incurred. Our mortgage notes include a series of financial and other covenants with which we must comply in order to borrow under them. We were in compliance with the covenants under the mortgage note facilities as of June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, we have $493,293 total outstanding principal under our mortgage notes, which encumber 57 properties, and have a weighted average remaining term of 3.8 years and a weighted average interest rate of 4.32%. Weighted averages are based on outstanding principal balances as of June 30, 2017 and interest rate reflects the effects of interest rate swaps and amortization of financing costs and fair market value premiums or discounts. Refer to Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements for additional information on our secured debt obligations.

Unsecured Debt
2015 Credit Facility and Term Loans
In December 2015, we entered into an agreement, or the Credit Agreement, for a new $1,900,000 credit facility, or the 2015 Credit Facility, consisting of an $850,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, and $1,050,000 term loan facility, or the 2015 Term Loan, with JPMorgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated and terminated Legacy Gramercy's 2014 Credit Facility. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility consists of a $750,000 U.S. dollar revolving credit facility and a $100,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility. The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility matures in January 2020, but may be extended for two additional six month periods upon the payment of applicable fees and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2015 Term Loan consists of a $300,000 term loan facility that matures in January 2019 with one 12-month extension option, or the 3-Year Term Loan, and a $750,000 term loan facility that matures in January 2021, or the 5-Year Term Loan.
Outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility incur interest at a floating rate based upon, at our option, either (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.55%, depending on our credit ratings, or (ii) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55%, depending on our credit ratings. We are also required to pay quarterly in arrears a 0.125% to 0.30% facility fee, depending on our credit ratings, on the total commitments under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. Outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Term Loan incur interest at a floating rate based upon, at our option, either (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75%, depending on our credit ratings, or (ii) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75%, depending on our credit ratings. The alternate base rate is the greater of (x) the prime rate announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (y) 0.50% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (z) the adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%.
In December 2015, we also entered into a new $175,000 7-year unsecured term loan with Capital One, N.A., or the 7-Year Term Loan, which matures in January 2023. Outstanding borrowings under the 7-Year Term Loan incur interest at a floating rate based upon, at our option, either (i) adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.30% to 2.10%, depending on our credit ratings, or (iii) the alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.30% to 1.10%, depending on our credit ratings. The alternate base rate is the greatest of (x) the prime rate announced by Capital One, (y) 0.50% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (z) the adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%.
Our unsecured borrowing facilities include a series of financial and other covenants that we have to comply with in order to borrow under the facilities. We were in compliance with the covenants under the facilities as of June 30, 2017. Refer to the table at the end of the section for specific terms and our outstanding borrowings under the facilities.
Senior Unsecured Notes
During 2016 and 2015, we issued and sold an aggregate $500,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes payable in private placements, which have maturities ranging from 2022 through 2026 and bear interest semi-annually at rates ranging from 3.89% to 4.97%. Refer to the table at the end of the section for specific terms of the outstanding notes.

72


Exchangeable Senior Notes
On March 18, 2014, we issued $115,000 of 3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes. The Exchangeable Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and are guaranteed by us on a senior unsecured basis. The Exchangeable Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2019, unless redeemed, repurchased or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to such date and will be exchangeable, under certain circumstances, for cash, for common shares or for a combination of cash and common shares, at the election of the Operating Partnership. The Exchangeable Senior Notes will also be exchangeable prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, at any time beginning on December 15, 2018, and also upon the occurrence of certain events. On or after March 20, 2017, in certain circumstances, the Operating Partnership may redeem all or part of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. During June 2017, the Exchangeable Senior Notes became convertible at our option. As of July 1, 2017, the Exchangeable Senior Notes are exchangeable at the option of the holders during the period from July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017, after which the exchange right is subject to continuation based upon the prevailing exchange rate and our share prices during the exchange windows. As of June 30, 2017, if the Exchangeable Senior Notes were redeemed, they would be eligible for conversion into 5,258,428 of the Company’s common shares, representing a value of $156,228 based upon the Company’s closing share price of $29.71. As of June 30, 2017, there have been no exchanges or conversions of the Exchangeable Senior Notes.
As of June 30, 2017, the Exchangeable Senior Notes have a current exchange rate of 14.3349 units of Merger consideration, where one unit of Merger consideration represents 3.1898 of our common shares, or approximately 45.7255 of our common shares for each $1.0 principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes, representing an exchange price of $21.87 per common share. The fair value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes was determined at issuance to be $106,689. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the expected life of the Exchangeable Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Exchangeable Senior Notes were recorded as a liability at carrying value of $110,154 and $108,832, respectively, net of unamortized discount and deferred financing costs of $4,846 and $6,168, respectively. The fair value of the Exchangeable Senior Notes’ embedded exchange option of $11,726 was recorded in additional paid-in-capital within shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Derivatives and Non-Derivative Hedging Instruments
As of June 30, 2017, our derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps, which are cash flow hedges. Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item expires or is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedging derivative’s change in fair value and the change in value of a non-hedging derivative instrument are immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative accounting may increase or decrease reported net income and shareholders’ equity, depending on future levels of LIBOR interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows, provided the contract is carried through to full term.
Borrowings on the multicurrency tranche of our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, which are designated as non-derivative net investment hedges, are recognized at par value based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of the draw. Subsequent changes in the exchange rate of our non-derivative net investment hedge are recognized as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 9 and Note 10 of the accompanying financial statements for additional information on our derivatives and non-derivative hedging instruments, including the fair value measurement of these instruments, as applicable.
The following table summarizes our derivatives and hedging instruments at June 30, 2017. The aggregate fair value of our derivatives is presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in derivative instruments and the aggregate carrying value of the non-derivative net investment hedges is included in the balance of our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in this instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

Through our interest rate swaps, we are hedging exposure to variability in future interest payments on our debt facilities. At June 30, 2017, our interest rate swap derivative instruments were reported in other assets at fair value of $5,319 and in other liabilities at fair value of $(518). Swap gain (loss) is recognized in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and represents interest rate swap hedge ineffectiveness, or amounts excluded from ineffectiveness, which relates to the off-market financing element associated with certain derivatives. Swap gain of $0 and $46 was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and swap gain of $2,564 and $734, was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we reclassified $271 and $539, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense related to a derivative terminated in 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we reclassified $271 and $631, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense related to a derivative terminated in 2015. Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. During the next 12 months, we expect that $1,911 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase in interest expense for our interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2017. Additionally, we will recognize $2,111 in interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining original term of terminated swaps through June 2019, representing amortization of the remaining accumulated other comprehensive income balance related to the swap, and of this amount $1,087 will be recognized in interest expense during the next 12 months.
We hedge our investments based in foreign currencies using non-derivative net investment hedges in conjunction with borrowings under the multicurrency tranche of our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. Our non-derivative net investment hedge on our euro-denominated investments, which was entered into in September 2015, is used to hedge exposure to changes in the euro-U.S. dollar exchange rate underlying our unconsolidated net equity investments in the Gramercy European Property Fund and the Goodman Europe JV, both of which have euros as their functional currency. Our non-derivative net investment hedge on our British pound sterling-denominated investments, which was entered into in July 2016, is used to hedge exposure to changes in the British pound sterling-U.S. dollar exchange rate underlying our unconsolidated net equity investment in the Goodman UK JV and our wholly-owned property in Coventry, UK, both of which have British pounds sterling as their functional currency. At June 30, 2017, the non-derivative net investment hedge value is reported at carrying value as a net liability of $70,955, which is included in the balance of the senior unsecured revolving credit facility on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a net loss of $4,196 and $5,119, respectively, in other comprehensive income from the impact of exchange rates related to the non-derivative net investment hedges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a net gain (loss) of $970 and $(66), respectively, in other comprehensive income from the impact of exchange rates related to the non-derivative net investment hedges. When the non-derivative net investments being hedged are sold or substantially liquidated, the balance of the translation adjustment accumulated in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings.

Contractual Obligations
We are obligated to fund capital expenditures related to our real estate investments, which primarily consist of expenditures to maintain assets, tenant improvement allowances and other construction or expansion obligations under tenant leases, and leasing commissions. As of June 30, 2017, we had commitments relating to tenant improvement allowances and funding obligations under leases totaling approximately $13,536 that are expected to be funded over the next five years. During March 2017, construction was completed on our build-to-suit property in Round Rock, Texas, which we acquired upon completion for $29,605. As of June 30, 2017, we are obligated to fund the development of three build-to-suit industrial properties, for which we have remaining cumulative future commitments of $57,199.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our cumulative contributions to the Gramercy European Property Fund were $55,892 (€50,000). As of June 30, 2017, our remaining commitment to the Gramercy European Property Fund was $14,283 (€12,500), however in July 2017, the Gramercy European Property Fund sold 100.0% of its assets to a third party. Refer to Note 17 for more information on the sale transaction. Foreign currency commitments have been converted into U.S. dollars based on (i) the foreign exchange rate at the closing date for completed transactions and (ii) the exchange rate that prevailed on June 30, 2017, in the case of unfunded commitments.
We have committed to fund $100,000 to Strategic Office Partners, of which $23,427 and $16,027 was funded as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. See Note 5 in the accompanying financial statements for further information on the Gramercy European Property Fund and Strategic Office Partners.
We have certain properties acquired that are subject to ground leases, which are accounted for as operating leases. The ground leases have varying ending dates, renewal options and rental rate escalations, with the latest leases extending to June 2053. Combined aggregate principal maturities and future minimum payments of our unsecured debt obligations, non-recourse mortgages, Senior Unsecured Notes, Exchangeable Senior Notes, and ground leases, in addition to associated interest payments as of June 30, 2017 are as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have off-balance sheet investments, including joint ventures and equity investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. Substantially all of our joint venture and equity investment arrangements are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control over the operating and financial decisions of these joint venture and equity investment arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements and financial results are discussed in detail in Note 5 in the accompanying financial statements.
Transactions with Trustee Related Entities and Related Parties
In December 2016, we sold our 5.1% interest in one property located in Lille, France held by the Goodman Europe JV to our joint venture partner, the Gramercy European Property Fund, in which we had a 14.2% ownership interest, for gross proceeds of $2,662 (€2,563). In July 2017, we sold our 14.2% interest in the Gramercy Europe Property Fund and our 5.1% interest in the Goodman Europe JV to an unrelated third party. Refer to Note 17 in the accompanying financial statements for more information on the sale.
On June 30, 2016, we sold 74.9% of our outstanding 80.0% interest in the Goodman Europe JV to the Gramercy European Property Fund, in which we had a 14.2% interest as of June 30, 2017. We made cumulative contributions of $55,892 (€50,000) to the Gramercy European Property Fund and had a remaining funding commitment of $14,283 (€12,500) as of June 30, 2017. Our CEO, who was on the board of directors, also had capital commitments to the investment, as noted below. We sold 74.9% of our interest in the Goodman Europe JV to the Gramercy European Property Fund for gross proceeds of $148,884 (€134,336), based on third-party valuations for the underlying properties. The sale of 74.9% of our interest in the Goodman Europe JV resulted in us recording a gain of $5,341 during the period, primarily related to depreciation and amortization recorded since Merger closing date. Following the sale transaction,

78


we have a continuing 5.1% interest in the Goodman Europe JV. The transaction was entered into in order to achieve efficiencies from the combination of the two European platforms.
Our CEO, Gordon F. DuGan, was on the board of directors of the Gramercy European Property Fund prior to its sale in July 2017 and committed and fully funded approximately $1,388 (€1,250) in capital to the Gramercy European Property Fund. The two Managing Directors of Gramercy Europe Asset Management collectively committed and fully funded approximately $1,388 (€1,250) in capital to the Gramercy European Property Fund. Foreign currency commitments have been converted into U.S. dollars based on (i) the foreign exchange rate at the closing date for completed transactions and (ii) the exchange rate that prevailed on June 30, 2017, in the case of unfunded commitments.
One of the properties acquired in December 2015 as part of the Merger was partially leased to Duke Realty, our partner in the Duke JV. Duke Realty acted as the managing member of the Duke JV, which was dissolved in July 2016 as described in Note 5, and as such provided asset management, construction, development, leasing and property management services, for which it was entitled to receive fees as well as a promoted interest. From the date of the Merger through lease expiration in May 2016, Duke Realty leased 30,777 square feet of one of our office properties located in Minnesota which had an aggregate 322,551 rentable square feet. Duke Realty paid us $156 and $333 under the lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. See Note 5 for more information on our transactions with the Duke JV.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as a key supplemental measure of our operating performance: funds from operations attributable to common shareholders and unitholders, or FFO, core funds from operations attributable to common shareholders and unitholders, or Core FFO, and adjusted funds from operations attributable to common shareholders and unitholders, or AFFO. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. We also use FFO as one of several criteria to determine performance-based incentive compensation for members of our senior management, which may be payable in cash or equity awards. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of investments in depreciable real estate and investments in in-substance real estate investments and sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), less distributions to noncontrolling interests and gains/losses from discontinued operations and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Core FFO and AFFO are Company defined measures. Core FFO is presented excluding transaction costs, acquisition costs, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, other-than-temporary impairments on retained bonds, mark-to-market on interest rate swaps, and one-time charges. Our AFFO also excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of above and below market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs and non-cash interest, amortization of lease inducement costs, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of free rent received at property acquisition, and straight-line rent. Core FFO and AFFO include applicable adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that Core FFO and AFFO are useful supplemental measures regarding our operating performances as they provide a meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating performance and allow investors to more easily compare the Company's operating results.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Our calculation of FFO may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

We assume no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time-to-time in our reports and documents which are filed with the SEC, and you should not place undue reliance on those statements.
The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given

82


these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, credit, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that the primary market risks to which we will be exposed are real estate, interest rate and credit risks. These risks are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.
Real Estate Risk
Commercial property values and net operating income derived from such properties are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions, local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of retail, industrial, office or other commercial or multi-family space), changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments, construction quality, age and design, demographic factors, retroactive changes to building or similar codes, and increases in operating expenses (such as energy costs). We may seek to mitigate these risks by employing careful business selection, rigorous underwriting and credit approval processes and attentive asset management.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control. Our operating results will depend in large part on differences between the income from our assets and our borrowing costs. Our real estate assets generate income principally from fixed long-term leases and we are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from floating rate borrowing arrangements. We expect that we will primarily finance our investment in commercial real estate with fixed rate, non-recourse mortgage financing, however, to the extent that we use floating rate borrowing arrangements, our net income from our real estate investments will generally decrease if LIBOR increases. We have used, and may continue to use, interest rate caps or swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. We currently have a 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, several term loans and several mortgage notes payable which are based upon a floating rate which have an aggregate outstanding balance of $1,336,048 at June 30, 2017, of which $1,265,093 is hedged effectively by interest rate swaps which we believe will mitigate the interest rate risk related to these borrowings.

Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the ability of each tenant in our portfolio of real estate investments to make contractual lease payments on the scheduled due dates. We seek to reduce credit risk of our real estate investments by entering into long-term leases with tenants after a careful evaluation of credit worthiness as part of our property acquisition process. If defaults occur, we employ our asset management resources to mitigate the severity of any losses and seek to relet the property. In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, tenant delinquencies and defaults may increase and result in credit losses that would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
During the periods presented, we have had investments, either directly or through unconsolidated equity interests, in Europe, Asia, and Canada and we perform asset management services and have had capital commitments to an equity investment in Europe. As a result, we are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in the euro, the British pound sterling, and the Canadian dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We hedge our foreign currency exposure related to our foreign investments primarily by financing our investments in the local currency denominations and through the use of net investment hedge instruments. Additionally, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have historically been a net payer of various foreign currencies (we pay out more cash than we receive),

85


and therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar, and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency. In the future, we expect to be a net receiver of various foreign currencies as our commitments to the Gramercy European Property Fund have been fully funded following the sale of our interests in the Gramercy Europe Property Fund in July 2017.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding borrowings of $70,955 (€45,000 and £15,000) and $65,837 (€45,000 and £15,000), respectively, under the multicurrency tranche of our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, which we designated as a non-derivative net investment hedging instrument pursuant to ASC 815 to mitigate our risk from fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and both the euro and British pound sterling. Our unhedged net investment in foreign currencies was $14,220 and $13,322 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, based on the period ending U.S. dollar values of the hedge of $70,955 and $65,837, respectively.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Gramercy Property Trust
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frame specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within our company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Also, we may have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(Dollar amounts in thousands)
Putative Shareholder Actions against Legacy Gramercy - Dismissed
Legacy Gramercy, its board of directors, Chambers and/or Merger Sub were named as defendants in two putative class action lawsuits brought by purported Legacy Gramercy stockholders challenging the Merger. Two suits that were separately filed in New York Supreme Court, New York County, captioned (i) Berliner v. Gramercy Property Trust, et al., Index No. 652424/2015 (filed July 9, 2015) and (ii) Gensler v. Baum, et al., Index No. 157432/2015 (filed July 22, 2015), were consolidated into a single action under the caption In re Gramercy Property Trust Stockholder Litigation, Index No. 652424/2015 (the “New York Action”). In addition, four suits that were separately filed in Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, captioned (i) Jobin v. DuGan, et al., Case No. 24C15003942 (filed July 27, 2015); (ii) Vojik v. Gramercy Property Trust, et al., Case No. 24C15004412 (filed August 25, 2015); (iii) Hoffbauer et al. v. Chambers Street Properties, et al., 24C15004904 (filed September 24, 2015) (originally filed as two separate suits in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Maryland, captioned Plemons v. Chambers Street Properties, et al., Case No. 03C15007943 (filed July 24, 2015) and Hoffbauer et al. v. Chambers Street Properties, et al., Case No. 03C15008639 (filed August 12, 2015), and refiled as a single action in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County on September 24, 2015); and (iv) Morris v. Gramercy Property Trust, et al., Case No. 24C15004972 (filed September 28, 2015) were consolidated into a single action under the caption Glenn W. Morris v. Gramercy Property Trust Inc. et al., Case No. 24C15004972 (the “Maryland Action,” and together with the New York Action, the “Actions”). The complaints alleged, among other things, that the directors of Legacy Gramercy breached their fiduciary duties to Legacy Gramercy stockholders by agreeing to sell the Company for inadequate consideration and agreeing to improper deal protection terms in the merger agreement, and that the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on Form S4 on September 11, 2015 was materially incomplete and misleading. The complaints also alleged that Chambers, Merger Sub and/or Legacy Gramercy aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duty.
On December 7, 2015, the parties to the Actions entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that provided for the settlement of the Actions. On March 1, 2017, the court entered a Final Order and Judgment approving the settlement, awarding plaintiffs’ attorney fees and expenses, and dismissing the New York Action with prejudice. On March 22, 2017, pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, plaintiffs in the Maryland Action filed a notice of dismissal with prejudice with the Circuit Court for Baltimore County, Maryland, which the court entered on April 11, 2017.
Putative Shareholder Action against Legacy Chambers - Dismissed
On October 1, 2015, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Mercer County by a purported shareholder of Chambers. The action, captioned Elstein v. Chambers Street Properties et al., Docket No. L00225415 (the “New Jersey Action”), named as defendants Chambers, its board of trustees and Legacy Gramercy. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the trustees of Chambers breached their fiduciary duties to Chambers’ shareholders by agreeing to the Merger after a flawed sales process and by approving improper deal protection terms in the merger agreement, and that Legacy Gramercy aided and abetted these purported breaches of fiduciary duty.
On December 3, 2015, the parties to the New Jersey Action entered into a Stipulation of Settlement providing for the settlement of the New Jersey Action. On April 4, 2016, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement. On

89


July 1, 2016, the court issued an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the New Jersey Action.
Other Contingencies
In connection with our property acquisitions and the Merger, we determined that there is a risk we will have to pay future amounts to tenants related to continuing operating expense reimbursement audits. In 2017, we settled the majority of our operating expense reimbursement audits and paid $3,500 pursuant to the settlement in February 2017. As of June 30, 2017, we have estimated a range of loss of $0 to $360 and determined that our best estimate of total loss is $360, which is related to the Merger and has been accrued and recorded in other liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
In addition, we and/or one or more of our subsidiaries are party to various litigation matters that are considered routine litigation incidental to our business, none of which are considered material.
