8.01 Other Events.
On May 9, 2012, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of Glimcher Realty Trust (the “Company”) voted unanimously to withdraw Proposal 7 from consideration for approval at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to be held on Thursday, May 10, 2012. The withdrawn proposal sought common shareholder approval for an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust to increase the number of authorized shares of beneficial interest from 250,000,000 to 350,000,000. The proposal was withdrawn based on the Company's analysis of votes submitted to date. The Company notes that it still has in excess of 80,000,000 shares that are authorized and not yet issued, allowing it ample flexibility and access to the equity markets if needed. There is no immediate or near-term impact to the Company’s business or operations as a result of the withdrawal of this proposal, and the withdrawal of the proposal has no effect on any of the other proposals or matters set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
