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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2025, and cash and cash equivalents totaling $19.3 million. The property consists of office space, retail space and a garage representing 88%, 5% and 7%, respectively, of rentable square feet as of March 31, 2025.

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

Note 2 — Liquidation Plan

The Liquidation Plan provides for an orderly sale of the Predecessor’s and the Company’s assets, payment of the Predecessor’s and the Company’s liabilities and other obligations, the winding down of operations, and dissolution of the Predecessor and the Company. The Predecessor was not, and the Company is not, permitted to make any new investments except to make protective investments or advances with respect to its existing assets (see Note 6). The Company is permitted to satisfy any existing contractual obligations and fund required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at its real estate property owned by the joint venture in which the Company owns an interest.

The Liquidation Plan enables the Company to sell any and all of its assets without further approval of the unitholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to the unitholders as determined by the Company’s board of managers (the “Board of Managers”). In order to comply with applicable laws, the Predecessor converted the Company into a limited liability company. The conversion of the Predecessor to a limited liability company was approved by the stockholders on September 7, 2018 and became effective on November 7, 2018.

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

books were closed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such date. At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding share of common stock of the Predecessor was converted into one unit of common membership interest in the Company (a “Unit”), and holders of shares of the Predecessor’s common stock automatically received one Unit (which Unit was in book entry form) for each share of the common stock held by such stockholder. Unlike shares of the Predecessor’s common stock, which, in addition to being listed on the NYSE, were freely transferable, Units are not listed for trading and generally are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Therefore, the holders of Units do not have the ability to realize any value from these interests except from distributions made by the Company, the timing of which will be solely in the discretion of the Board of Managers.

The Company is deemed to be the same entity as the Predecessor with the same assets and liabilities as the Predecessor. In addition, the charter and bylaws of the Predecessor were replaced by the operating agreement of the Company. For tax purposes, the fair value of each Unit in the Company received by stockholders when the conversion became effective, which reflected the value of the remaining assets of the Company (net of liabilities), was $14.00 per Unit and was equal to the average of the high and low trading prices for shares of the Predecessor’s common stock on the last three days on which the shares were traded on the NYSE.

The business of the Company is the same as the business of the Predecessor immediately preceding the conversion, which, consistent with the Liquidation Plan, consists of the continued ownership of the Predecessor’s interest in Worldwide Plaza, the only remaining property-related asset. Under its operating agreement, the business and affairs of the Company will be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Managers. The sole purpose of the Company is winding up the affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its remaining asset. On December 26, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement of the Company, the Board of Managers extended the term of the Company such that the Company will remain in existence until the earlier of (i) the distribution of all Company assets pursuant to liquidation; or (ii) December 31, 2025. The term may be extended to such later date as the Board of Managers determines is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Company.

The dissolution process and the amount and timing of future distributions to unitholders involves risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is impossible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will be ultimately distributed to unitholders. No assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As a result of the approval of the Liquidation Plan by the stockholders, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of January 1, 2017 and for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2016 in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, on January 1, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s assets were adjusted to their liquidation value, which represented the estimated amount of cash that the Company expected to collect on disposal of assets as it carried out its liquidation activities under the Liquidation Plan. All properties have been sold except the remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. For purposes of liquidation accounting, which requires estimating go-forward revenues and expenses including net sale proceeds, the Company’s estimate of net assets in liquidation value assumes a sale of Worldwide Plaza at March 31,2026, which is the end of our current projected liquidation period as discussed below. As of March 31, 2025, our estimated value of Worldwide Plaza is less than the outstanding debt balance on the property and therefore the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture represents our share of the undistributed cash held at the joint venture. While the actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties, we utilize a one-year hold in accordance with liquidation accounting. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of sale of the Company’s remaining property.

Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the timing and other assumptions related to the liquidation process.

The Company accrues costs and revenues that it expects to incur and earn as it carries out its liquidation activities through the end of the projected liquidation period to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, it is

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2025

(unaudited)

generally accepted that the period of time to assume a reasonable basis for estimation would not exceed one year from the reporting date. As such, our current projected liquidation period ends on March 31, 2026. Estimated costs expected to be incurred through the end of the liquidation period include corporate overhead costs associated with satisfying known and contingent liabilities and other costs associated with the winding down and dissolution of the Company, including litigation costs. Revenues are based on current interest rate assumptions. These amounts are classified as a net asset for estimated receipts in excess of estimated costs during liquidation on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets. Actual costs and revenues may differ from amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements due to the inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material. See Note 4 for further discussion. Actual costs incurred but unpaid as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint venture arrangements in which the Company has controlling financial interests, either through voting or similar rights or by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The portions of any consolidated joint venture arrangements not owned by the Company would be presented as noncontrolling interests. There were no consolidated joint venture arrangements at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests in a VIE. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a VIE. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either: (1) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations.

A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate its joint venture. In determining whether the Company has a controlling interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, power to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners or members as well as whether the entity is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Use of Estimates

Certain of the Company’s accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of the Company’s financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Under liquidation accounting, the Company is required to estimate all costs and revenue it expects to incur and earn through the end of liquidation including the estimated amount of cash it expects to collect on the disposal of its assets and the estimated costs to dispose of its assets. All of the estimates and evaluations are susceptible to change and actual results could differ materially from the estimates and evaluations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has no revenue sources other than interest income, which is classified in liabilities for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

The Company accounts for its investment in unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over but does not control the entity and is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2025

(unaudited)

The investment in the unconsolidated joint venture is recorded at its liquidation value, or net realizable value, which is comprised of an estimate of the expected sale proceeds upon disposition plus the estimated net cash flow from the venture during the liquidation period. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of its unconsolidated joint venture at each reporting period. Any changes in net realizable value will be reflected as a change in the Company’s net assets in liquidation. The liquidation value of the Company’s remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 includes the Company's proportionate share in Worldwide Plaza's net assets which include a property value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates as well as available market information and assumptions regarding capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's estimated value of Worldwide Plaza is less than the outstanding debt balance on the property and therefore the carrying value of the Company's investment in the joint venture represents the Company's share of the undistributed cash held at the joint venture. While the actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties, the Company utilizes a one-year hold in accordance with liquidation accounting.

Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2025, the Company did not have restricted cash. At December 31, 2024, management included in restricted cash $90.7 million which had been reserved either for potential capital improvement work at Worldwide Plaza, should the Company elect to contribute, or to be paid as a liquidating distribution to unitholders.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company deposits cash with high-quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) up to an insurance limit. The Company’s cash balances fluctuate throughout the year and may exceed insured limits from time to time. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result.

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements. All future distributions from the Company will be considered a return of capital for tax purposes. Unitholders will receive a Schedule K-1 from the Company annually reflecting their allocable share of the Company’s income, loss, gain and deduction.

As of March 31, 2025, the Predecessor had no material uncertain income tax positions. The tax years subsequent to and including the year ended December 31, 2021 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company and the Predecessor is subject.

Reportable Segments

The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate through a joint venture. The Company’s joint venture invests in real estate which generates rental revenue and other income through the leasing of the property. Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company’s investment at the individual property level.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements that are applicable or relevant to the Company under the liquidation basis of accounting.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

None applicable to liquidation accounting.

Note 4 — Estimated Costs and Estimated Receipts During Liquidation

The liquidation basis of accounting requires the Company to estimate net cash flows from operations and to accrue all costs associated with implementing and completing the plan of liquidation. The Company currently estimates that it will have costs in excess of estimated receipts during the liquidation. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing and estimates for operating expenses, interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and the costs associated with the winding down of operations. These costs are estimated and are anticipated to be paid out over the liquidation period.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company accrued the following net receipts/(costs) expected to be incurred during liquidation (in thousands):


	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Interest income	$	616		$	960
General and administrative expenses		(3,865	)		(3,808	)
Total liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation	$	(3,249	)	$	(2,848	)

The change in estimated costs and estimated receipts during liquidation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

Note 5 — Net Assets in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation are calculated based on estimates of future cash inflows and less estimates of future cash outflows. Net assets in liquidation decreased by $72.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily related to $69.7 million of liquidating distributions to unitholders as well as legal fees being higher than originally estimated and a reduction in future estimated interest income to be earned on cash and cash equivalents. The decrease was offset by an increase of $0.2 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza resulting from interest earned on undistributed funds held at the joint venture.

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2025

(unaudited)

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to legal fees being higher than originally estimated. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of estimated interest income to be earned on cash and cash equivalents and an increase of $0.3 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza resulting from interest earned on undistributed funds held at the joint venture.

The net assets in liquidation at March 31, 2025, presented on an undiscounted basis, include the Company’s proportionate share in Worldwide Plaza’s net assets which include a property value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates as well as available market information. The estimated cash flow projections, which include minimal future capital investment, were negatively impacted by increased interest rates which affected projections of terminal capitalization rates, inflation, uncertainty of the timing of market recovery and continued lack of transactions in the market for office buildings, especially in the New York City market, and result in a property value below Worldwide Plaza’s current debt balance.

There were 16,791,769 Units outstanding at March 31, 2025. The net assets in liquidation as of March 31, 2025, if sold at their net asset value, would result in liquidating distributions of approximately $2.50 per Unit. The net assets in liquidation as of March 31, 2025 of $42.0 million, if sold at the net asset value, plus the cumulative liquidating distributions paid to stockholders of $1.1 billion ($65.98 per common share/Unit) prior to March 31, 2025 would result in cumulative liquidating distributions to stockholders/unitholders of $68.48 per Unit. There is inherent uncertainty with these estimates, and they could change materially based on the timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining asset, the performance of the underlying asset and any changes in the underlying assumptions of the estimated cash flows.

Note 6 — Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

On October 30, 2013, the Predecessor purchased a 48.9% equity interest in Worldwide Plaza for a contract purchase price of $220.1 million, based on the property value at that time for Worldwide Plaza of $1.3 billion less $875.0 million of debt on the property.

On June 1, 2017, the Predecessor acquired an additional 49.9% equity interest on exercise of the Predecessor’s option to purchase pursuant to the Company’s rights under the joint venture agreement of Worldwide Plaza for a contract purchase price of $276.7 million, based on the option price of approximately $1.4 billion less $875.0 million of debt on the property. The Predecessor’s joint venture partner exercised its right to retain 1.2% of the aggregate membership interests in Worldwide Plaza. Following the exercise of the option, the Predecessor owned a total equity interest of 98.8% in Worldwide Plaza.

On October 18, 2017, the Predecessor sold a 48.7% interest in Worldwide Plaza to WWP JV LLC, a joint venture managed by SL Green Realty Corp. and RXR Realty LLC based on an estimated underlying property value of $1.725 billion. In conjunction with the equity sale, there was a concurrent $1.2 billion refinancing of the existing Worldwide Plaza debt. The Predecessor received cash at closing of approximately $446.5 million from the sale and excess proceeds from the financing, net of closing costs which included $108.3 million of defeasance and prepayment costs. The new debt on Worldwide Plaza bears interest at a blended rate of approximately 3.98% per annum, requires monthly payments of interest only and matures in November 2027. As the space previously leased by Cravath, Swaine & Moore, LLP (“Cravath”) has not been re-leased, the property does not generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy debt service requirements. The lender initiated a cash sweep in September 2023 and, as a result, all rent payments are being directed to the sweep account and the lender controls disbursements to cover operating expenditures and capital improvements at Worldwide Plaza. The initiation of the cash sweep restricts the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza from making distributions of cash flow generated following the initiation of the sweep. The lease with Cravath expired on August 31, 2024 and interest on the mezzanine debt has not been paid since August 6, 2024. On September 13, 2024, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC received a copy of a default notice to WWP Mezz, LLC, a subsidiary of WWP, as borrower under a $190.0 million mezzanine first loan, as a result of failure by the borrower to make a required interest payment of $0.8 million under the loan agreement. The borrower has entered into loan modification agreement with the senior lender through July 1, 2025, clarifying the utilization of the cash sweep reserve and other reserves held by the lender.

The Company initially set aside approximately $90.7 million from the 2017 refinancing proceeds to cover its share of potential future leasing and capital costs at the property, as discussed in “Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies.” On February 4, 2025, the Supreme Court, New York County (the “Supreme Court”) granted summary judgment declaring the Company does not have the obligation to fund capital expenditures pursuant to the Initial Budget (as defined below in Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies), the Company has no obligation to maintain the Reserve (as defined below in Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies) and the LLC Agreement (as defined below in Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies) does not preclude the Company from distributing the Reserve to unitholders. WWP JV LLC has appealed the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Following the sale of its interest discussed above, the Company now holds a 50.1% interest in Worldwide Plaza. The Company has determined that this investment is an investment in a VIE. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE since the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

The lease with one of the tenants at the Worldwide Plaza property contains a right of first offer if Worldwide Plaza sells 100% of the property. The right requires Worldwide Plaza to offer the tenant the option to purchase 100% of the Worldwide Plaza property, at the price, and on other material terms, proposed by Worldwide Plaza to third parties. If, after 45 days, that tenant does not accept the offer, Worldwide Plaza may then sell the property to a third party, provided that Worldwide Plaza will be required to re-offer the property to that tenant if it desires to sell the property for a purchase price (and other economic consideration) less than 92.5% of the initial purchase price contained in the offer to that tenant.

We have a right to transfer our membership interests in Worldwide Plaza to purchasers meeting certain qualifications, subject to a right of first offer to our joint venture partner. Commencing January 18, 2022, we and our joint venture partner also have the right to require the joint venture to market the property it owns for sale, subject to a right of first offer to our joint venture partner. We could be subject to transfer taxes on a transfer of our interest or a sale of the property.

Any transferee of our interest would acquire an interest subject to the same limitations on participation in the management of Worldwide Plaza that apply to us. There can be no assurance these limitations will not affect our ability to sell our interest in Worldwide Plaza or the amount we would receive on a sale. In addition, we may determine that a sale of the property rather than our interest in Worldwide Plaza is the best way to maximize the value of our interest in Worldwide Plaza. A sale of the property could substantially delay the timing of our complete liquidation. Additionally, the existence of the right of first offers may delay our ability to sell the Worldwide Plaza property or our interest in Worldwide Plaza on terms and in the timeframe of our choosing and may diminish the price we receive on a sale.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, rent from Nomura Holdings America, Inc. (“Nomura”) represented 58.2% of the total cash rent at Worldwide Plaza. As of March 31, 2025, Nomura is the only tenant at Worldwide Plaza whose annualized cash rent represents greater than 10% of the total annualized cash rent at the property. Nomura has one termination option remaining and may exercise it for all or a portion of the tenant’s premise. The cancellation date is as of December 31, 2026, with a notice date of June 30, 2025. The termination, delinquency or non-renewal of Nomura’s tenancy would have a material effect on the Company’s operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, rent from Nomura and Cravath represented 29.4% and 48.1% of total annualized cash rent, respectively.

The lease with Cravath expired on August 31, 2024 and the space has not been re-leased. The expiration of this lease has had a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

See "Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies" for a discussion of legal proceedings.

The amounts reflected in the following tables are based on the going concern basis financial information of Worldwide Plaza. Under liquidation accounting, equity investments are carried at net realizable value.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

On December 28, 2022, the Company filed suit against WWP JV LLC captioned New York REIT Liquidating LLC v. WWP JV LLC (Del. Ch.). The Company sought declaratory relief that it is not bound by the LLC Agreement and that it is under no obligation to maintain the reserve of more than $90 million (the “Reserve”) that was established in 2017 in connection with a transaction between the Company’s subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC, and WWP JV LLC relating to a proposed investment in Worldwide Plaza, an office and retail mixed-use project located in midtown Manhattan. On May 11, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a stay of the case, pending resolution of the New York litigation filed by the Company's subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC, as described below.

The Company’s subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC filed suit against WWP JV LLC on December 22, 2022. The suit is captioned ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC v. WWP JV LLC, (Sup. Ct. N.Y. County), and, on February 10, 2023, the Company was named as Counterclaim Defendant and Third-Party Defendant in such action. ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC sought declaratory relief that the LLC Agreement does not require it to fund certain disputed capital contributions that our joint venture partner contends exceed $82 million under the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of WWP Holdings, LLC (“LLC Agreement”) related to proposed capital improvements at Worldwide Plaza, because it is ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC's position that the initial budget as defined in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Initial Budget”) expired at year end 2018 and the subject capital improvements would require a new Annual Budget (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that has received Board Approval (as defined in the LLC Agreement), which has not occurred. WWP JV LLC’s counterclaim against the Company sought declaratory relief that the Company must continue to maintain the Reserve until such time as a member of WWP Holdings, LLC issues a call notice for the Reserve under the LLC Agreement (the “Counterclaim”). WWP JV LLC’s third party claims against the Company asserted claims under various theories of tort and unjust enrichment and sought damages in excess of $90 million (the “Third Party Claims”). The Supreme Court dismissed the Third Party Claims against the Company on November 14, 2023. On February 4, 2025, the Supreme Court granted summary judgment in favor of ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC and the Company (“NY Summary Judgment Order”), declaring that the Initial Budget expired on December 31, 2018 and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC does not have an obligation to fund capital expenditures pursuant to the Initial Budget, and that ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC and the Company have no obligation to maintain the Reserve and the LLC Agreement does not preclude them from distributing the Reserve to unitholders.

WWP JV LLC has appealed the NY Summary Judgment Order ("Appeal") to the Appellate Division, First Department ("Appellate Division") and has filed a motion for an interim stay of such order and a preliminary injunction seeking, among other relief, an order freezing the Reserve. The Appellate Division has entered a temporary restraining order freezing the Reserve pending determination of WWP JV LLC's motion requesting that such freeze be extended for the duration of the Appeal as well as alternative relief in the event the freeze is not so extended. The Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC have opposed WWP JV LLC's motion to extend the freeze, contending there are no grounds to extend the freeze at all and, even if there were such grounds, the freeze should be partially lifted in order to permit the Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC to access what remains of the Reserve in order to fund their operating expenses. It is the Company’s and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC’s position that WWP JV LLC's pending motions, as well as the Appeal, the Counterclaim and Third Party Claims, are without merit. On March 18, 2025, WWP JV LLC filed a motion seeking sanctions against the Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC arising from the Company's decision to distribute $69.7 million to unitholders on February 10, 2025.

If the Company is unsuccessful in lifting the temporary freeze of the Reserve, it could be rendered insolvent. In addition, if the Company is unsuccessful in receiving favorable declaratory judgments in the above-referenced actions or is unsuccessful in defending the claims therein, the Company may be required to contribute additional capital to the joint venture or face potential consequences under the LLC Agreement, such as dilution or loss of major decision rights. Additionally, if the temporary restraining order is not lifted, the Company will not be able to pay its ordinary course expenses for services such as required SEC filings and preparation and filing of required tax returns. As stated above, it is the Company's and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC's position that the Counterclaim and the Third Party Claims are without merit and the Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC vigorously dispute the Counterclaim and the Third Party Claims. The Company cannot predict and expresses no prediction as to the outcome of these matters. Therefore, the Company cannot estimate the range of any reasonably possible loss.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters. Other than the matters described above (about which the Company offers no prediction), there are no legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company from which the Company expects to incur a material loss.

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. Through its joint venture, the Company maintains environmental insurance for its property that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations.

Note 9 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

Winthrop Advisor and its Affiliates

The activities of the Company are administered by the Winthrop Advisor pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement, as amended, (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Company and the Winthrop Advisor.

The Advisory Agreement is subject to automatic one-month renewal periods on the expiration of any renewal term, unless terminated by a majority of the Board of Managers or the Winthrop Advisor, upon written notice 45 days before the expiration of any renewal term and will automatically terminate at the effective time of the final disposition of the assets held by the Company. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated upon 15 days written notice by a majority of the Board of Managers if the Company’s chief executive officer resigns or is otherwise unavailable to serve as the Company’s chief executive officer for any reason and the Winthrop Advisor has not proposed a new chief executive officer acceptable to a majority of the Board of Managers.

From the Liquidation Date through July 31, 2020, the Company paid the Winthrop Advisor a monthly fee of $100,000 and a supplemental fee of $50,000 per quarter (prorated for any partial quarter) for any period that the principal executive and financial officers of the Company are required to certify the financial and other information contained in the Company’s quarterly and annual reports pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended. On October 30, 2020, the Advisory Agreement was amended to reduce the monthly fee payable to the Winthrop Advisor to $83,000 effective August 1, 2020. All other terms of the Advisory Agreement remained unchanged.

In connection with the adoption of liquidation accounting, the Company accrues costs it expects to incur through the end of liquidation. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has accrued asset management fees and compensation reimbursements totaling $1.2 million payable to the Winthrop Advisor representing management’s estimate of future asset management fees to final liquidation, provided there is no assurance that the contract will continue to be extended at the same terms, if at all. This amount is included in estimated costs during liquidation.

In connection with the payment of (i) any distributions of money or other property by the Company to its stockholders or unitholders during the term of the Advisory Agreement and (ii) any other amounts paid to the Company’s stockholders or unitholders on account of their shares of common stock or membership interests in the Company in connection with a merger or other change in control transaction pursuant to an agreement with the Company entered into after March 8, 2017 (such distributions and payments, the “Hurdle Payments”), in excess of $110.00 per share (adjusted for the Reverse Split, the “Hurdle Amount”), when taken together with all other Hurdle Payments, the Company will pay an incentive fee to the Winthrop Advisor in an amount equal to 10.0% of such excess (the “Incentive Fee”). The Hurdle Amount will be increased on an annualized basis by an amount equal to the product of (a) the Treasury Rate plus 200 basis points and (b) the Hurdle Amount minus all previous Hurdle Payments. Based on the current estimated undiscounted net assets in liquidation, the Winthrop Advisor would not be entitled to receive any such incentive fee.

The Company paid the Winthrop Advisor $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Note 10 — Economic Dependency

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged the Winthrop Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with the Winthrop Advisor to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of the property owned by the Company, asset disposition decisions, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services, transaction management and investor relations.

As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Winthrop Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of New York REIT Liquidating LLC and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to New York REIT Liquidating LLC, and its consolidated subsidiaries and, as required by context to New York REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Predecessor”), to New York Recovery Operating Partnership L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “OP”), and to their subsidiaries. References to the Company’s ownership, investment in, and rights and obligations and actions with respect to 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.

Since March 8, 2017, we have been externally managed by Winthrop REIT Advisors, LLC (the “Winthrop Advisor”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed to those terms in “Part I—Financial Information” included in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and contained herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “may” or similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, public health crises, as well as those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” as well as our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on information, judgments and estimates at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto. These unaudited interim financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Overview

On August 22, 2016, the Board approved a plan of liquidation to sell in an orderly manner all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of the OP (the “Liquidation Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. The Liquidation Plan was approved at a special meeting of stockholders on January 3, 2017.

The Liquidation Plan provides for an orderly sale of the Predecessor's assets, payment of its liabilities and other obligations, and the winding down of operations and the dissolution of the Predecessor. Further, the Liquidation Plan provides for the same actions for the Company. We are no longer permitted to make any new investments except to make protective investments or advances with respect to our existing assets. We are permitted to satisfy any existing contractual obligations and pay for required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at our real estate property owned by the joint venture in which we own an interest.

In order to comply with applicable tax laws, the Predecessor converted into a limited liability company known as New York REIT Liquidating LLC. The conversion to the Company was approved by the stockholders on September 7, 2018 and became effective on

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

March 31, 2025

November 7, 2018. The Liquidation Plan enables us to sell our assets without further approval of the stockholders or unitholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to the stockholders as determined by the Board, and following the conversion, to our unitholders as determined by the Board of Managers.

In October 2018, the Predecessor announced the withdrawal of its common stock from listing on the NYSE in connection with the conversion. November 2, 2018 was the last day on which shares of its common stock were traded on the NYSE and its stock transfer books were closed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such date. At the effective time of the conversion, each outstanding share of common stock of the Predecessor was converted into one unit of common membership interest in the Company (a “Unit”), and holders of shares of our common stock automatically received one Unit (which Unit was in book entry form) for each share of the Predecessor’s common stock held by such stockholder. Unlike shares of the Predecessor’s common stock, which, in addition to being listed on the NYSE, were freely transferable, Units are not listed for trading and generally are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Therefore, the holders of Units do not have the ability to realize any value from these interests except from distributions made by the Company, the timing of which will be solely in the discretion of the Board of Managers.

The Company is deemed to be the same entity as the Predecessor with the same assets and liabilities as the Predecessor on the date of conversion. In addition, the charter and bylaws of the Predecessor were replaced by the operating agreement of the Company. For tax purposes, the fair value of each Unit in the Company received by stockholders when the conversion became effective, which reflected the value of the remaining assets of the Company (net of liabilities), was $14.00 per Unit and was equal to the average of the high and low trading prices for shares of the Predecessor’s common stock on the last three days on which the shares were traded on the NYSE. For a detailed description of the federal income tax and investment considerations relating to the conversion and its effects on our interests in the Predecessor, please see the Predecessor’s proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2018.

The business of the Company is the same as the business of the Predecessor immediately preceding the conversion, which, consistent with the Liquidation Plan, consists of the continued ownership of the Predecessor’s interest in Worldwide Plaza, the only remaining property-related asset. Under its operating agreement, the business and affairs of the Company will be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Managers, and the sole purpose is winding up the affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its remaining property-related asset. On December 26, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement of the Company, the Board of Managers extended the term of the Company such that the Company will remain in existence until the earlier of (i) the distribution of all company assets pursuant to liquidation or (ii) December 31, 2025.

The dissolution process and the amount and timing of distributions to unitholders involves risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is impossible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will be ultimately distributed to unitholders, and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets. To date, liquidating distributions totaling $65.98 per common share/Unit have been paid.

Liquidation Plan

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all of our property-related assets have been sold except our remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza. For purposes of liquidation accounting, our estimate of net assets in liquidation value assumes a sale of Worldwide Plaza at March 31, 2026, and is based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, as well as available market information and assumptions regarding capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2025, our estimated value of Worldwide Plaza is less than the outstanding debt balance on the property and therefore the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture represents our share of the undistributed cash held at the joint venture. While the actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties, we utilize a one-year hold in accordance with liquidation accounting. These estimates are subject to change based on the actual timing of the sale of our remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza and the actual cash distributions received from the property during our holding period. The net assets in liquidation of $42.0 million at March 31, 2025 are presented on an undiscounted basis.

The lease with Cravath expired on August 31, 2024, and net operating income was materially negatively impacted and is expected to continue to be materially negatively impacted until such time as the space can be re-leased. We will continue to monitor the market and adjust the net realizable value of the investment, if necessary, at each reporting period. The timing of the sale of the property, and the ultimate value we receive from the sale, are subject to change. We initially set aside approximately $90.7 million from the 2017 refinancing proceeds to cover our share of potential future leasing and capital costs at the property; as discussed in “Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies.” On February 4, 2025, the Supreme Court granted summary judgment declaring the Company does not have the obligation to fund capital expenditures pursuant to the Initial Budget. The Company has no obligation to maintain the Reserve and the LLC Agreement does not preclude the Company from distributing the Reserve to unitholders. WWP JV LLC has

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

March 31, 2025

appealed the Supreme Court’s ruling. The Delaware proceedings have been stayed, pending resolution of proceedings in New York initiated by the Company's subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC.

Current Activity

There were no property sales for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Temporary Restraining Order

As described in more detail in “Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies,” we are party to a litigation that has resulted in a temporary restraining order which restricts our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and which may impact the Liquidation Plan. See the risk factor titled “If we are unsuccessful in lifting the temporary restraining orders that have frozen our cash reserves, we could be rendered insolvent” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents aggregating $19.3 million. Our total assets and undiscounted net assets in liquidation were $47.9 million and $42.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2025. On February 10, 2025, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $69.7 million to its unitholders.

Our principal demands for funds are to pay or fund operating expenses, capital expenditures and liquidating distributions to our unitholders. As the space previously leased by Cravath has not been re-leased, the property does not generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy debt service requirements, and the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza is currently restricted from making distributions of cash flow generated since the inception of the cash sweep under the terms of its indebtedness. The lender initiated a cash sweep in September 2023 and, as a result, all rent payments are being directed to the sweep account and the lender controls disbursements to cover operating expenditures, debt service, and capital improvements at Worldwide Plaza. Any excess funds are retained in a lender-controlled account to be utilized to cover future cash shortfalls at the property. The initiation of the cash sweep restricts the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza from making distributions of cash flow generated following the initiation of the sweep. The lease with Cravath expired on August 31, 2024 and interest on the mezzanine debt has not been paid since August 6, 2024. On September 13, 2024, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC received a copy of a default notice to WWP Mezz, LLC, a subsidiary of WWP, as borrower under a $190.0 million mezzanine first loan, as a result of failure by the borrower to make a required interest payment of $0.8 million under the loan agreement. The borrower has entered into a loan modification agreement with the senior lender through July 1, 2025, clarifying the utilization of the cash sweep reserve and other reserves held by the lender. The cash sweep will continue until such time as specific leasing conditions have been met or an amount equal to approximately $42.3 million has been deposited into an account to fund lease commissions and tenant improvements. We are party to a litigation that has resulted in a temporary restraining order which restricts our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and which may impact the Liquidation Plan. If the temporary restraining order is not lifted, the Company will not be able to pay its ordinary course expenses for services such as required SEC filings and preparation and filing of required tax returns and we will not be able to make liquidating distributions to our unitholders.

Our principal sources and uses of funds are further described below.

Principal Sources of Funds

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level at Worldwide Plaza, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants at Worldwide Plaza and the level of operating and other costs, including general and administrative expenses and other expenses associated with carrying out our Liquidation Plan. As discussed above, the lender initiated a cash sweep in September 2023 which restricts the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza from making distributions of cash flow generated following the initiation of the sweep. Prior to initiation of the cash sweep, our joint venture partner in Worldwide Plaza suspended making current distributions to the joint venture partners and reserved all excess cash flow from the property.

Sales Proceeds

In connection with the Liquidation Plan, we will seek to monetize our remaining 50.1% interest in Worldwide Plaza. The amount which we would receive for it is unknown.

NEW YORK REIT LIQUIDATING LLC

March 31, 2025

Other Sources of Funds

None.

Principal Use of Funds

Capital Expenditures

As of March 31, 2025, we owned a 50.1% interest in the joint venture that owns Worldwide Plaza. In connection with the leasing of the property, the joint venture entered into agreements with its tenants to provide allowances for tenant improvements. These allowances require the joint venture to fund capital expenditures up to amounts specified in the lease agreements. Our share of capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was funded from property cash flow.

We initially set aside approximately $90.7 million from the 2017 refinancing proceeds to cover our share of potential future leasing and capital costs at the property; as discussed in “Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies.” On February 4, 2025, the Supreme Court granted summary judgment declaring the Company does not have the obligation to fund capital expenditures pursuant to the Initial Budget. The Company has no obligation to maintain the Reserve and the LLC Agreement does not preclude the Company from distributing the Reserve to unitholders. WWP JV LLC has appealed the Supreme Court’s ruling. The Delaware proceedings have been stayed, pending resolution of proceedings in New York initiated by the Company's subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC.

Liquidating Distributions

Until such time as we are able to dispose of our remaining asset, the actual amount and timing of, and record dates for, future liquidating distributions will be determined by our Board of Managers and will depend upon the timing and amount of cash flow distributions we receive from our Worldwide Plaza joint venture and the amounts deemed necessary by our Board of Managers to pay or provide for our liabilities and obligations. On February 10, 2025, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $69.7 million, or $4.15 per unit. The timing and amount of our final liquidating distribution will be dependent on the timing and proceeds of the sale of our remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza and the timing of the resolution of the litigations, discussed in “Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies.” As the Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, any such liquidating distributions on the Units will be deemed a return of capital.

Loan Obligations

We have no consolidated mortgage notes payable as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $601.2 million of unconsolidated mortgage debt reflecting our pro rata share of Worldwide Plaza's total mortgage debt of $1.2 billion which is non-recourse to us. The Worldwide Plaza mortgage debt matures in November 2027 and requires monthly interest-only payments. Operating cash flow at the property was sufficient to cover the monthly debt service payments through August 2024. The lease with Cravath expired on August 31, 2024 and operating cash flow at the property is no longer sufficient to cover property operations and debt service payments. Interest on the Worldwide Plaza mezzanine debt has not been paid since August 6, 2024. On September 13, 2024, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC received a copy of a default notice to WWP Mezz, LLC, a subsidiary of WWP, as borrower under a $190.0 million mezzanine first loan, as a result of failure by the borrower to make a required interest payment of $0.8 million under the loan agreement. The borrower has entered into a loan modification agreement with the senior lender through July 1, 2025, clarifying the utilization of the cash sweep reserve and other reserves held by the lender.

Cash Flows

Our level of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by approximately $72.4 million from $91.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $19.3 million at March 31, 2025.

The holders of shares of common stock of the Predecessor approved the Liquidation Plan on January 3, 2017, and we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective January 1, 2017. We did not make any acquisitions in new investments during 2024 or the three months ended March 31, 2025, and, in accordance with the Liquidation Plan, no further acquisitions are expected. We distributed $69.7 million of non-operating cash and had no sources of non-operating cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Contractual Obligations

We did not have any contractual debt or lease obligations as of March 31, 2025.

Comparability of Financial Data from Period to Period

Results of Operations

As a result of the expiration of the Cravath lease, we have experienced a significant decrease in occupancy and rental revenue at Worldwide Plaza.

Occupancy and Leasing

As of March 31, 2025, Worldwide Plaza was 62.8% leased, compared to 91.5% as of March 31, 2024. The lease with Cravath expired on August 31, 2024. This vacancy will have a material adverse effect on Worldwide Plaza’s operations until such time as the space has been re-leased.

Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation are calculated based on estimates of future cash inflows and less estimates of future cash outflows. Net assets in liquidation decreased by $72.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily related to $69.7 million of liquidating distributions to unitholders, as well as legal fees being higher than originally estimated and a reduction in future estimated interest income to be earned on cash and cash equivalents. The decrease was offset by an increase of $0.2 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza resulting from interest earned on undistributed funds held at the joint venture.

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to legal fees being higher than originally estimated. This was partially offset by an increase of estimated interest income to be earned on cash and cash equivalents and by an increase of $0.3 million in the estimated liquidation value of the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza resulting from interest earned on undistributed funds held at the joint venture.

Net assets in liquidation at March 31, 2025, which are presented on an undiscounted basis, include Worldwide Plaza value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates as well as available market information and assumptions regarding capital expenditures in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, assuming we dispose of our investment in the next 12 months, resulting in estimated future liquidating distributions of approximately $2.50 per Unit. This estimate of liquidating distributions includes projections of costs and expenses to be incurred during the next 12 months and costs to dispose of the Company’s remaining investment in WWP. As of March 31, 2025, our estimated value of Worldwide Plaza is less than the outstanding debt balance on the property and therefore the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture represents our share of the undistributed cash held at the joint venture. While the actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties, we utilize a one-year hold in accordance with liquidation accounting.

On February 10, 2025, we paid a cash liquidating distribution of $4.15 per Unit. Any changes in the future market value of Worldwide Plaza, if any, will be evaluated at each reporting period and will be reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Net Assets in liquidation at such times. Like any estimate or projection, management's estimate is subject to various assumptions and uncertainties including the joint venture’s ability to execute on the business plan, tenants paying their rental obligations, the equity capital and financing markets and New York City market conditions generally.

Our unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared on the liquidation basis of accounting and accordingly include an estimate of the liquidation value of our assets and other estimates, including estimates of anticipated cash flow, timing of asset sales and liquidation expenses. These estimates update estimates that we have previously provided. These estimates are based on multiple assumptions, some of which may prove to be incorrect, and the actual amount of liquidating distributions we pay to you may be more or less than these estimates. We cannot assure you of the actual amount or timing of liquidating distributions you will receive pursuant to the Liquidation Plan.

Tax Status

We are taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements. All distributions from the Company will be considered a return of capital for tax purposes. Unitholders will receive a Schedule K-1 from the Company annually reflecting their allocable share of the Company’s income, loss, gains and deductions.

Inflation

Many of Worldwide Plaza’s leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance-sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, we are required to estimate all costs and income we expect to incur and earn through the end of liquidation including the estimated amount of cash we expect to collect on the disposal of our assets and the estimated costs to dispose of our assets.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

We account for our investment in unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control the entity and are not considered to be the primary beneficiary.

Under liquidation accounting, the investment in unconsolidated joint venture is recorded at its liquidation value, or net realizable value, comprised of an estimate of the expected sale proceeds upon disposition plus the estimated net cash flow to be received from the venture during the liquidation period. We evaluate the net realizable value of our unconsolidated joint venture at each reporting period. Any changes in net realizable value will be reflected as a change in our net assets in liquidation. The liquidation value of our remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza at March 31, 2025 is based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates as well as available market information and assumptions regarding capital expenditures assuming we dispose of our investment in the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2025, our estimated value of Worldwide Plaza is less than the outstanding debt balance on the property and therefore the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture represents our share of the undistributed cash held at the joint venture. While the actual timing of sale has not yet been determined and is subject to future events and uncertainties, we utilize a one-year hold in accordance with liquidation accounting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

There are no new accounting pronouncements that are applicable or relevant to the Company under the liquidation basis of accounting.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of March 31, 2025, we had $601.2 million of unconsolidated mortgage debt reflecting our pro rata share of Worldwide Plaza’s total mortgage debt of $1.2 billion which is non-recourse to us. This debt consisted of fixed-rate secured mortgage notes payable. Changes in market interest rates have no impact on interest due on the notes, however it may impact our ability to sell or refinance the property.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of March 31, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On December 28, 2022, the Company filed suit against WWP JV LLC captioned New York REIT Liquidating LLC v. WWP JV LLC, (Del. Ch.). The Company sought declaratory relief that it is not bound by the LLC Agreement and that it is under no obligation to maintain the reserve of more than $90 million (the “Reserve”) which was established in 2017 in connection with a transaction between the Company’s subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC, and WWP JV LLC relating to WWP JV LLC's proposed investment in Worldwide Plaza, an office and retail mixed-use project located in midtown Manhattan. On May 11, 2023, the Delaware Court of Chancery stayed the case pending resolution of the New York litigation initiated by the Company's subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC, as described below.

The Company’s subsidiary, ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC filed suit against WWP JV LLC on December 22, 2022. The suit is captioned ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC v. WWP JV LLC, (Sup. Ct. N.Y. County), and, on February 10, 2023, the Company was named as Counterclaim Defendant and Third-Party Defendant in such action. ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC sought declaratory relief that the LLC Agreement does not require it to fund certain disputed capital contributions that our joint venture partner contends exceed $82 million under the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of WWP Holdings, LLC (“LLC Agreement”) related to proposed capital improvements at Worldwide Plaza, because it is ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC's position that the initial budget as defined in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, (the “Initial Budget”) expired at year end 2018 and the subject capital improvements would require a new Annual Budget (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that has received Board Approval (as defined in the LLC Agreement), which has not occurred. WWP JV LLC’s counterclaim against the Company sought declaratory relief that the Company must continue to maintain the Reserve until such time as a member of WWP Holdings, LLC issues a call notice for the Reserve under the LLC Agreement (the “Counterclaim”). WWP JV LLC’s third party claims against the Company asserted claims under various theories of tort, and unjust enrichment and sought damages in excess of $90 million (the “Third Party Claims”). The Supreme Court, New York County (“Supreme Court”) dismissed the Third Party Claims against the Company on November 14, 2023. On February 4, 2025, the Supreme Court granted summary judgment in favor of ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC and the Company (“NY Summary Judgment Order”), declaring that the Initial Budget expired on December 31, 2018 and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC does not have an obligation to fund capital expenditures pursuant to the Initial Budget, and that ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC and the Company have no obligation to maintain the Reserve and the LLC Agreement does not preclude them from distributing the Reserve to unitholders.

WWP JV LLC has appealed the NY Summary Judgment Order ("Appeal") to the Appellate Division, First Department ("Appellate Division") and has filed a motion for an interim stay of such order and a preliminary injunction seeking, among other relief, an order freezing the Reserve. The Appellate Division has entered temporary restraining order freezing the Reserve pending determination of WWP JV LLC's motion requesting that such freeze be extended for the duration of the Appeal as well as alternative relief in the event the freeze is not so extended. The Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC have opposed WWP JV LLC's motion to extend the freeze, contending there are no grounds to extend the freeze at all and, even if there were such grounds, the freeze should be partially lifted in order to permit the Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC to access what remains of the Reserve in order to fund their operating expenses. It is the Company’s and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC’s position that WWP JV LLC's pending motions, as well as the Appeal, the Counterclaim and Third Party Claims, are without merit. On March 18, 2025, WWP JV LLC filed a motion seeking sanctions against the Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC arising from the Company's decision to distribute $69.7 million to unitholders on February 10, 2025.

If the Company is unsuccessful in lifting the temporary freeze of the Reserve, it could be rendered insolvent. In addition, if the Company is unsuccessful in receiving favorable declaratory judgments in the above-referenced actions or is unsuccessful
in defending the claims therein, the Company may be required to contribute additional capital to the joint venture or face potential consequences under the LLC Agreement, such as dilution or loss of major decision rights. Additionally, if the temporary restraining order is not lifted, the Company will not be able to pay its ordinary course expenses for services such as required SEC filings and preparation and filing of required tax returns. As stated above, it is the Company's and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC's position that the Counterclaim and the Third Party Claims are without merit and the Company and ARC NYWWPJV001, LLC vigorously dispute the Counterclaim and the Third Party Claims. The Company cannot predict and expresses no prediction as to the outcome of these matters. Therefore, the Company cannot estimate the range of any reasonably possible loss.

Except as set forth above and described in “Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies” of our notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to, and none of our properties are subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.
