Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial
Condition.
On March 15, 2012, Gramercy Capital Corp.
(the "Company") issued an earnings press release relating to the Company's financial performance for the quarter and
year ended December 31, 2011. The Company is attaching the press release as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information being furnished pursuant
to this "Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition" (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be
"filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")
or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation
language in such filing.
Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial
Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On March 11, 2012, the Company's
management and Audit Committee concluded that the Company's previously filed financial statements in the Company's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2011 should no longer be relied upon because of an error recorded
by the Company in other-than-temporary impairment on commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Company corrected the discount rate used in the calculation of other-than-temporary impairment on CMBS
investments and recorded an adjustment to correct the other-than-temporary impairment for the year ended December 31, 2011. This
error reduced the portion of the impairment charge related to credit risk which is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement
of Operations by $15.0 million and increased the portion of the impairment charge related to other factors by $15.0 million which
is included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2011. Additionally, the error
resulted in an overstatement of accumulated deficit of $15.0 million and a corresponding understatement in accumulated other comprehensive
loss in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity and Non-controlling Interests at September 30, 2011. The adjustment
had no effect on the operating, investing and financing activities included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows for the nine-months ended September 30, 2011.
The Company has corrected the error
in its unaudited quarterly financial data included in footnote 22 to the Company's consolidated financial statements which will
be included the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The adjustment to other-than-temporary
impairment to the three-months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in income from continuing operations and net income available
to common stockholders changing from $1.7 million and $129.2 million, as previously reported, respectively, to $8.3 million, after
giving effect to discontinued operations, and $144.3 million, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased in the
three-month period ended September 30, 2011 by $0.29 per share, respectively related to the adjustment to correct the other-than-temporary
impairment. This adjustment did not affect the Company's 2011 annual earnings or cash flow, nor did it have any effect on stockholders'
equity at December 31, 2011.
The Company's Audit Committee discussed
each of these matters with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers;
Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 14, 2012, Robert R. Foley announced
that he will be stepping down as Chief Operating Officer and Secretary of the Company, effective March 16, 2012. Mr. Foley's resignation
was not due to any disagreement or dispute with the Company's management or members of the board of directors of the Company.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
As discussed in Item 2.02. above, the Company
issued a press release, dated March 15, 2012, relating to its financial performance for the quarter and year ended December 31,
2011, the text of which is incorporated by reference into this "Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure."
The information being furnished pursuant
to this "Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure" shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18
of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference
into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
This information shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of such information that is required to be disclosed solely
by Regulation FD.
