Note 1 — Organization

All references to the “Company” refer to New York REIT Liquidating LLC. All references to “we,” “us” or “our” refer to New York REIT Liquidating LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, provided that, notwithstanding such references, the consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are distinct legal entities that are separate from the Company. References to the Company’s ownership of, investment in, and rights and obligations and actions concerning WWP Holdings LLC (“WWP”) or Worldwide Plaza refer to the interests, rights and obligations, and actions of the Company’s subsidiary ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC, except that references relating to the $90.7 million cash reserve established in 2017 from the proceeds of our sale of a 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza refer to an amount previously held by the Company and not by ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC. For example, statements such as “our sole remaining property-related asset is a 50.1% ownership interest in Worldwide Plaza,” “our interest in Worldwide Plaza,” “our joint venture partner in Worldwide Plaza,” and similar statements refer to ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC’s interests, activities, rights and obligations, and partner with respect to Worldwide Plaza.

New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “Company”) was formed on November 7, 2018 and is the successor entity to New York REIT, Inc. (the “Predecessor”). The Predecessor was incorporated on October 6, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that qualified as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. On April 15, 2014, the Predecessor listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NYRT.”

The sole purpose of the Company is to wind up the Company’s affairs and the liquidation of the Company’s assets with no objective to continue or to engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except as necessary for the orderly liquidation of the Company’s assets.

On August 22, 2016, the Predecessor’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a plan of liquidation to sell in an orderly manner all or substantially all of the assets of the Predecessor and its operating partnership, New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”), and to liquidate and dissolve the Predecessor and the OP (the “Liquidation Plan”), subject to stockholder approval (see Note 2). The Liquidation Plan was approved at a special meeting of the Predecessor’s stockholders on January 3, 2017. All of the assets held by the OP have been sold and the OP was dissolved prior to the conversion on November 7, 2018.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s only significant assets are a 50.1% equity interest in WWP, which owns one property, known as Worldwide Plaza, aggregating 2.0 million rentable square feet with an occupancy of 62.8% as of June 30, 2025, and cash and cash equivalents totaling $16.7 million. The property consists of office space, retail space and a garage representing 88%, 5% and 7%, respectively, of rentable square feet as of June 30, 2025.

The Company has no employees. Since March 8, 2017, all advisory duties are administered by Winthrop REIT Advisors, LLC (the “Winthrop Advisor”).
