Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Global Medical REIT Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), held on December 7, 2022, the Board approved and adopted effective as of such date the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), amending certain provisions to ensure compliance with the federal proxy rules, including Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), among other administrative amendments.

Article II (Meetings of Stockholders) has been updated to:

Amend language to ensure that any stockholder casting a vote by proxy complies with Maryland law and the Company’s bylaws;

Reflect the requirement that any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, with the white proxy card being reserved for exclusive use by the Board;

Update the provisions related to the information required to be included in a stockholder’s notice of nomination of individuals for election as a director and the information required to be included in any notice of other business the stockholder proposes to bring before a meeting;

Require a stockholder submitting a director nomination to make a written undertaking that such stockholder intends to solicit holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of the director nomination;

Update the accompanying certifications made by a stockholder submitting a notice of nomination of individuals for election as a director; and

Reflect that the Company will disregard any proxy authority granted in favor of any proposed director nominee if the stockholder soliciting proxies in support of such proposed nominee abandons the solicitation or does not comply with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
