*Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.*

One of CIM Commercial Trust Corporation’s (“CMCT”) investments is a multifamily structure located at 47 East 34th Street, New York, New York 10016. Prior to the acquisition of the property by the predecessor to CMCT, the former owners of the property enrolled the property in a property tax abatement program under Section 421-a of the N.Y. Real Property Tax Law. At the time the predecessor to CMCT acquired the property, the property was being used for corporate housing. This use continued from the time of acquisition and will terminate in March 2015. The New York State Attorney General’s office recently determined that the use of the property for corporate housing was inconsistent with the tax abatement program. In cooperation with the New York State Attorney General, CMCT has agreed to refund tax abatements received during the period it owned the property while it was being used for corporate housing and pay certain costs, for a total amount of approximately $4.7 million. This agreement does not affect the ability of the property to receive tax abatements in the future.
