Item 2.01
|
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
|
On April 30, 2018, 701 Seventh Property Owner LLC and 701 Sign
LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”), entities in which Winthrop Realty Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) holds
an indirect preferred membership interest, and which owned the property located at 701 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York (the
“Property”), consummated a transaction pursuant to which an affiliate of an existing indirect member of the Sellers
(the “Purchaser”) now holds a 100% ownership interest in the Property. The purchase price paid by the Purchaser was
based on a gross value of the Property of $1.53 billion. After satisfying the existing debt and closing costs, the Trust received
an initial distribution from the sale proceeds of approximately $200.0 million from the sale.
In addition to the
cash portion of the purchase price, the Sellers were paid a portion of the purchase price by way of $75.0 million promissory note
(the “Purchase Money Note”) and has entered into arrangements pursuant to which it expects the Purchase Money Note
to be purchased from it by August 30, 2018, subject to two one-month extensions. In addition the Sellers deposited approximately
$63.7 million of net proceeds in escrow to fund the completion of the property and certain other costs. As funds are paid on account
of the Purchase Money Note and are released from escrow (which will be released in phases following substantial completion of the
Property), the Trust will receive its proportionate share of such funds through future distributions from the Sellers.
The Sellers also entered
into a Development Services Agreement pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to complete the construction of the Property for the
benefit of the purchaser.
As a result of the
sale of the Property, the Trust’s trustees have approved a liquidating distribution of $5.15 per common beneficial interest
in the Trust payable in cash on May 8, 2018 to beneficial owners of record on May 1, 2018. The Trust estimates that for 2018 effectively
connected income (a portion of which will be ordinary income and a portion will be capital gains) will be approximately $0.91 per
share.
On April 30, 2018,
the Trust issued a press release with respect to the transactions described in Item 2.01 and announcing the distribution described
in this Item 8.01. A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.
