ITEM 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On November 24, 2009, Northland Cable Properties Seven Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington an amendment to its Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership to extend the term of the Partnership from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2013 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment was approved at a special meeting of limited partners on November 19, 2009.
As a result of the Amendment, holders of the units of limited partnership interests of the Partnership may not be able to liquidate their investment in the Partnership until the earlier of December 31, 2013, or upon the dissolution, winding up and termination of the Partnership. Despite the extension of the term of the Partnership, Northland Communications Corporation, the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, remains fully committed to selling the Partnership’s assets and winding up the Partnership as soon as possible, provided that a fair price for the assets can be secured.
