Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, on March 5, 2020, the Company’s board of directors authorized the Initial Liquidating Distribution in the amount of $0.75 per share of common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 5, 2020, for an aggregate cash distribution of approximately $138.9 million, which was the largest component of the decline in net assets in liquidation. The Initial Liquidating Distribution was paid on March 10, 2020 and was funded with proceeds from the sale of the Campus Drive Buildings.

The estimated net realizable value of real estate decreased by $70.8 million during the five months ended June 30, 2020, which was primarily driven by the Company’s investment in an office building located in Los Angeles, California (the “Union Bank Plaza”) and an office property located in Denver, Colorado (“Granite Tower”), as follows:

•Union Bank Plaza –The estimated net proceeds from the sale of the Union Bank Plaza decreased by approximately $38.1 million primarily due to changes in leasing projections to account for a longer lease-up period and lower projected rental rates caused by COVID-19. As of June 30, 2020, the Union Bank Plaza was 81% leased and due to the amount of vacancy, its valuation or projected sales price is more sensitive to the disruption caused by COVID-19 as compared to a fully stabilized property. Additionally, the valuation or projected sales price was adjusted to increase the terminal capitalization rates and discount rate to account for the increased risk and uncertainty in the current environment.

•Granite Tower – The estimated net proceeds from the sale of Granite Tower decreased by approximately $24.0 million due to a reduction in the anticipated sales price to account for a longer lease-up period and lower projected rental rates caused by COVID-19. Granite Tower is further impacted by the deteriorating oil and gas industry as its anchor tenant that occupies approximately 50% of the building square footage as of June 30, 2020 is engaged in the exploration and production of oil and gas. The valuation or projected sales price was adjusted to increase the terminal capitalization rates and discount rate to account for the increased risk and uncertainty in the current environment caused by COVID-19 and the deteriorating oil and gas industry. As of June 30, 2020, Granite Tower was 86% leased.

•Other Properties – The estimated net proceeds from the sales of the Company’s other real estate properties were adjusted to increase the terminal capitalization rates and discount rates to account for the increased risk and uncertainty caused by COVID-19 resulting in a net reduction in the aggregate estimated net proceeds from sales of $8.7 million.

The net assets in liquidation as of June 30, 2020 would result in the payment of additional estimated liquidating distributions of approximately $2.67 per share of common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of June 30, 2020. This estimate of additional liquidating distributions includes projections of costs and expenses to be incurred during the estimated period required to complete the Plan of Liquidation. There is inherent uncertainty with these estimates and projections, and they could change materially based on the timing of the sales of the Company’s remaining real estate properties, the performance of the Company’s remaining assets and any changes in the underlying assumptions of the projected cash flows from such properties.
