Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On August 10, 2010, Gladstone Commercial Corporation (the "Company") issued 6,666.67 shares of Senior Common Stock at a gross price per share of $15.00 in a closing (the "Closing") of its previously announced continuous private offering of up to 3,333,333 shares of Senior Common Stock (the "Offering"). Net proceeds from the Closing, after selling commissions and the dealer manager fee, were approximately $89,000.

This issuance of securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Rule 506 thereunder, among other exemptions, on the basis that the securities were sold in a private offering not involving general solicitation and that the purchasers of the securities in the Closing are accredited investors.

Between July 8, 2010 and August 10, 2010, the Company also issued an aggregate of 26.10 shares of Senior Common Stock pursuant to its Distribution Reinvestment Plan in respect of shares issued previously in the Offering. These shares were issued at a price of $15.00 per share pursuant to the Distribution Reinvestment Plan in lieu of cash dividends declared on the Senior Common Stock in the aggregate amount of $391.47.
