EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being
filed for the purpose of establishing New York REIT Liquidating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”),
as the successor issuer to New York REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Predecessor”), with respect to the units
of common membership interest in the Company (“Units”), pursuant to Rule 12g-3(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to disclose certain related matters.
At 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on November
7, 2018, the Predecessor consummated its previously-disclosed conversion from a Maryland corporation to a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Conversion”), which was approved by the stockholders of the Predecessor on September 7, 2018. As previously
disclosed, in connection with the Conversion, the Predecessor’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”),
was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) before trading opened on November 5, 2018. At the effective
time of the Conversion, each outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into one Unit and holders of Common Stock automatically
received one Unit (in book entry form) for each share of Common Stock held by such holder. Units will not be listed for trading
on the NYSE (or any other exchange) and will not be transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. This
restriction on transfer also will not prohibit the transfer of Units held, as shares of Common Stock were held, by nominees or
brokers to the beneficial owners of those Units. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, Units are deemed to be registered
under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the Company has succeeded to the Predecessor as the registrant with respect thereto.
Item 3.03.
|
Material Modification to the Rights of Security Holders.
|
At 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on November
7, 2018, the Conversion became effective upon the simultaneous effectiveness of the articles of conversion of the Predecessor previously
filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the “Articles”), and the certificate of conversion
(the “Conversion Certificate”) and the certificate of formation (the “Formation Certificate”) of the Company
previously with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
At the effective time of the Conversion,
the charter and bylaws of the Predecessor were replaced with the limited liability company agreement of the Company (the “LLC
Agreement”), which was approved by the Predecessor’s stockholders in connection with their approval of the Conversion
and became effective at the effective time of the Conversion in accordance with its terms.
Following the Conversion, the Company has
all of the Predecessor’s assets and liabilities and is deemed for all purposes of the State of Maryland and the State of
Delaware to be the same entity as immediately prior to the Conversion, but is governed by the LLC Agreement following the Conversion.
The description of the LLC Agreement contained in the proxy statement/prospectus filed by Predecessor with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 6, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement/ Prospectus”) in the sections entitled “Description of Units”
and “Description of Operating Agreement of the LLC” is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference
herein. Additional information about the Conversion and a comparison of the rights of stockholders of the Predecessor and unitholders
of the Company can be found in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
This description of the LLC Agreement and
the descriptions of the Articles and the Certificates above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the full text of the Articles, the Conversion Certificate, the Formation Certificate and the LLC Agreement, copies
of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1, Exhibit 3.2, Exhibit 3.3 and Exhibit 3.4, respectively, and incorporated by reference
herein.

shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information
in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the
