E-mail Message

On October 24, 2022, the Registrant sent the following e-mail message to certain financial advisors.

Dear Financial Advisor,

We are reaching out about the upcoming Annual Stockholder Meeting of Griffin Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") which is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, November 2, 2022. The Company has made certain proposals to all of our stockholders, and it is important that your clients vote.

Among other items, we are asking stockholders of the Company to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the conversion of the Company from a Maryland corporation to a Maryland real estate investment trust, in order to allow the Board to pursue the path to liquidity and value maximization that it considers to be in the best interests of stockholders in a manner that does not result in substantial adverse tax consequences to stockholders. Every stockholder’s vote is important, no matter how large or small their holdings may be. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares. As such, a failure to vote has the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Your clients should have recently received proxy information relating to the meeting. That package includes instructions on how stockholders can easily vote their shares by mail, over the phone or online.

Please help us avoid adjournments, phone calls, costs and additional mailings by encouraging your clients to promptly vote their shares.

For questions or assistance in voting shares, please call our proxy solicitor, Georgeson LLC at 1-866-482-5136. A representative is available from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on weekdays, and from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Eastern Time.

Thank you for your continued support of the Company.

Sincerely yours,

Griffin Realty Trust, Inc.
