Due to the disputed additional Transfer Tax related to the March 2011 acquisition of One Park Avenue which was recorded as a result of the New York City Tax Appeals Tribunal (the "Tax Tribunal") decision in the first quarter of 2018. We appealed the Tax Tribunal's decision to the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department ("Appellate Division"). Our appeal was heard on April 2, 2019, and on April 25, 2019 the Appellate Division entered a unanimous decision and order that confirmed the decision of the Tax Tribunal and dismissed our appeal. We are currently evaluating our options regarding this matter.
