New York REIT Liquidating LLC Announces Results for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2021 and Declaration of Distribution of $0.19 Per Unit (3/16/22)

NEW YORK, March 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “Company” or the “LLC”), which was formed to complete the liquidation of the assets previously held by New York REIT, Inc., announced today it has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Distributions

On March 14, 2022, the Company declared a cash liquidating distribution of $0.19 per unit to be paid on March 28, 2022 to unitholders of record as of March 21, 2022. Future liquidating distributions will depend on, among other things, the timing and amount of cash flow distributions from our interest in Worldwide Plaza. There can be no assurance that future distributions will be similar to the current distribution.

On November 17, 2021, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $0.19 per unit to unitholders of record as of November 10, 2021. During 2021, the Company paid aggregate cash liquidating distributions of $0.75 per unit.

Liquidation Status

Holders of membership interests in the Company are reminded that the conversion of New York REIT, Inc. to the LLC occurred on November 7, 2018. As previously disclosed, membership interests in the LLC are generally not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law.

The Company has sold all its properties except for the remaining 50.1% interest in Worldwide Plaza. The Company has no debt outstanding other than its pro-rata share of the non-recourse debt on Worldwide Plaza. Exclusive of the distribution to be paid on March 28, 2022, the Company has paid aggregate cash liquidating distributions of $61.26 per unit.

On March 15, 2022, based on the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Company’s remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza, the Company’s Board of Managers approved an extension of the expiration of the LLC from November 7, 2022 to December 31, 2023.

Financial Results

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Based on the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company reported that estimated net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2021 are currently estimated to result in future liquidating distributions of approximately $19.24 per unit. After giving effect to the $0.19 per unit distribution paid on November 17, 2021, the current estimate of future liquidating distributions represents a $0.15 per unit increase from the Company’s estimate at September 30, 2021. The estimate of future liquidating distributions includes projections of revenues to be earned and costs and expenses to be incurred during the next 12 months including the estimated cost to dispose of our remaining investment. There is inherent uncertainty with these projections and, accordingly, the projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of the Company’s control including public health crises, such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), market conditions, the performance of the underlying property asset, the timing of sale and any changes in the underlying assumptions of projected cash flows.

The current estimate of net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2021 has been estimated based on undiscounted cash flow projections and assumes a final liquidation on December 31, 2022, even though the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza is indeterminate, given the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the commercial real estate market, ongoing tenant negotiations and other items in the property business plan. Based on these factors and the actual timing of the sale of this property, the final liquidation of the Company is subject to future events and uncertainties. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the impact of timing of the planned liquidation.
