Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 14, 2013, Columbia Property Trust (the "Company") filed the Second Articles of Amendment (the "Second Articles") and the Third Articles of Amendment (the "Third Articles" and together with the Second Articles, the "Articles") in order to effect a 4 to 1 reverse stock split of the Company's existing common stock. The Second Articles change each share of issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share, into 1/4th of a share of common stock, $.04 par value per share. The Third Articles change the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from $.04 par value per share to $.01 per share and, thereby, reduce the aggregate par value of all authorized shares of common stock to $9,000,000. The Articles, and the reverse stock split, became effective on August 14, 2013.
