NEW YORK, May 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc. (Nasdaq:GRIF) (“Griffin”) announced today that it has filed a prospectus supplement under which it may issue and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $30 million of its common stock (“Common Stock”) under an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) through Robert W.

A copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement may be obtained on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Program described above has been filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
