On March 16, 2005, Gladstone Commercial Corporation (the "Company") obtained a long-term note payable by collateralizing its Canton, North Carolina property in the amount of $3,150,000. The note accrues interest at an initial interest rate of 6.33% per year until the anticipated repayment date of April 1, 2010. If the note is not repaid before the anticipated repayment date, interest will accrue on the remaining outstanding principal balance from and after the anticipated repayment date at the greater of the initial interest rate plus 2%, or the treasury rate for the week ending prior to the anticipated repayment date plus 2%. The Company may repay this note at any time after June 23, 2009 and not be subject to a prepayment penalty. The note matures on April 1, 2030, however the Company expects to repay the note in full prior to the anticipated repayment date. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the note to acquire additional investments for the portfolio.
