Year Ended December 31, 2016

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of New York REIT, Inc. (the "Company," "we" "our" or "us") and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "seeks," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "should" or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

•

Our board of directors has adopted a plan of liquidation to sell all or substantially all of the assets of our company and our operating partnership, New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "OP"), and to liquidate and dissolve our company and the OP (the "Liquidation Plan"). The Liquidation Plan was approved by our stockholders on January 3, 2017, but there can be no assurance that we will succeed in implementing the Liquidation Plan;


•	There can be no assurance as to the actual amount of liquidating distributions our stockholders will receive pursuant to the Liquidation Plan or when they will receive them;

•

The existing loans encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property include provisions which could restrict our ability to assume those loans without lender consent upon exercise of our option (the "WWP Option") to purchase additional equity interests in WWP Holdings, LLC ("Worldwide Plaza"), the joint venture that owns the Worldwide Plaza property, and indirectly could limit our ability to sell assets prior to exercising the WWP Option;


•	The transition of advisory services from New York Recovery Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") to Winthrop REIT Advisors LLC (the “Service Provider”) may adversely affect our business or our ability to implement the Liquidation Plan;


•	Our ability to operate our business and implement the Liquidation Plan depends upon the participation of executive officers, and other key personnel of the Service Provider, and there is no assurance such officers and personnel will remain in place;


•	If we are unable to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and lease currently available space or if tenants default under their leases or other obligations to us during the liquidation process, our cash flow will be reduced and our liquidating distributions may be reduced;


•	All of our properties are located in the New York metropolitan statistical area ("MSA"), making us dependent upon the economic climate in New York City;


•	Because the Liquidation Plan has been approved by our stockholders, we will not resume paying monthly dividends, but expect to make periodic liquidating distributions out of net proceeds of asset sales, subject to satisfying our liabilities and obligations, although there can be no assurance as to the actual amount or timing of liquidating distributions our stockholders will receive.


•	We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”), which would adversely affect our operations and reduce the amount of our liquidating distributions;


•	Interests in any liquidating trust we may establish pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will be generally non-transferable; and


•	We may be adversely affected by changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, and changes in conditions of United States or international lending, capital and financing markets.

All forward-looking statements should be read with the risks noted in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

Organization

We are a New York City focused REIT that primarily owns income-producing commercial real estate. We were incorporated on October 6, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that qualified as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. On April 15, 2014, we listed our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "NYRT."

We purchased our first property and commenced active operations in June 2010. As of December 31, 2016, we owned 19 properties, which aggregated 3.3 million rentable square feet, had an occupancy of 93.4% and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.9 years. Our portfolio primarily consists of office and retail properties, representing 83% and 9%, respectively, of rentable square feet as of December 31, 2016. We have acquired hotel and other types of real properties to add diversity to our portfolio. Properties other than office and retail spaces represented 8% of rentable square feet.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "OP"). Our only significant asset is the general partnership interests we own in the OP and assets held by us for the use and benefit of the OP.

On August 22, 2016, our board of directors approved the Liquidation Plan, subject to stockholder approval. On January 3, 2017, we held a special meeting of stockholders, at which our stockholders approved the Liquidation Plan. Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, we expect to sell or transfer all of our assets, pay or provide for our liabilities and expenses, distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of our assets to our stockholders, wind up our operations and dissolve. The actual amounts and times of liquidating distributions to our stockholders pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will be determined by our board of directors at its discretion.

We have no employees. We have retained the Advisor to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis through the Transition Date (as defined below) pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Advisor (as amended to date, the “Advisory Agreement”). Until the Transition Date, New York Recovery Properties, LLC (the "Property Manager") serves as our property manager, unless services are performed by a third party for specific properties. The Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC).

In September 2016, our board of directors issued a request for proposals for all interested, qualified parties to serve as our external advisor after December 26, 2016, which was then the expiration date of the Advisory Agreement. On December 19, 2016, we entered into an agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with the Service Provider, and a series of other agreements with the Advisor and the Property Manager pursuant to which we: (i) amended the Advisory Agreement to provide that the Advisor will not be responsible for implementing the Liquidation Plan and to extend the term to March 31, 2017, subject to five one-month extension options that may be exercised by our independent directors, provided that, following the later of February 28, 2017 and the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Advisory Agreement may be terminated upon three business days’ written notice from our independent directors, (ii) amended our agreement with the Property Manager (as so amended, the "Property Management Agreement") so that it will terminate on the expiration or termination of the Advisory Agreement, and (iii) entered into the Services Agreement pursuant to which the Service Provider will serve as (x) our exclusive advisor with respect to all matters primarily related to the Liquidation Plan (and as a consultant to us on other matters) during the period from January 3, 2017 through the Transition Date, and (y) as our advisor from and after the Transition Date. The "Transition Date" will occur upon the earlier of (i) three business days after written notice from our independent directors to the Advisor, following the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), but not earlier than March 3, 2017, and (ii) April 1, 2017.

Prior to the Transition Date, the Advisor will continue to provide all services related to the management of our day-to-day operations that are not related to the Liquidation Plan. Following the Transition Date, the Service Provider will be responsible for providing these services in addition to the services it has been providing since January 3, 2017 with respect to the Liquidation Plan. All services provided pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Services Agreement are subject to the supervision of our board of directors.

Liquidation Plan

On January 3, 2017, our stockholders approved the Liquidation Plan, and we became fully authorized to commence implementing the Liquidation Plan. The actual amounts and times of the liquidating distributions we make to our stockholders pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will be determined by our board of directors or, if a liquidating trust is formed, by the trustees of the liquidating trust, in their discretion. The Liquidation Plan provides, in pertinent part, that, among other things:


•	We are authorized to sell all of our assets, liquidate and dissolve the Company and its subsidiaries, and distribute the net proceeds of such liquidation in accordance with the provisions of our charter, our bylaws and the laws of the State of Maryland.


•	We will not engage in any business activities, except (i) to exercise the WWP Option, or (ii) to the extent otherwise necessary to preserve the value of our assets, wind up our business, pay or establish a reserve fund for our debts and distribute our assets to our stockholders, all in accordance with our charter and our bylaws, and the Liquidation Plan.

•

We are authorized to satisfy any existing contractual obligations (including any capital call requirements), pay for required tenant improvements and capital expenditures at our real estate properties (including real estate properties owned by joint ventures in which the Company owns an interest) if our board of directors so chooses and make protective acquisitions or advances with respect to our existing assets.


•	We are authorized to provide for the payment of any and all claims and obligations of ours, including all contingent, conditional or contractual claims known to us. We may do so through the creation of a reserve fund or in other ways.


•	All of our shares of common stock will be canceled and we will cease to exist upon the earlier of a final cash liquidating distribution or an in kind distribution of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust.

•

If we cannot sell our assets and pay our debts by January 3, 2019, which is 24 months from the date our stockholders approved the Liquidation Plan, we intend, for tax purposes, to transfer and assign our remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust. This would be necessary in order for us, assuming we remain qualified as a REIT, to be eligible to deduct amounts distributed pursuant to the Liquidation Plan as dividends paid and thereby meet our annual distribution requirement and not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts. Upon transfer and assignment, our stockholders will receive beneficial interests in the liquidating trust equivalent to our stockholders’ ownership interests in the Company as represented by the shares of our common stock held by our stockholders prior to the transfer and assignment. The liquidating trust will pay or provide for all of our liabilities and distribute any remaining net proceeds from the sale of its assets to the holders of beneficial interests in the liquidating trust. The transfer of our assets to a liquidating trust is a taxable event to our stockholders notwithstanding that our stockholders may not currently receive a distribution of cash or any other assets with which to satisfy the resulting tax liability. Our stockholders’ interests in a liquidating trust will be generally non-transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law.

•

Until we are dissolved, our board of directors may terminate the Liquidation Plan without stockholder approval only (i) if our board of directors approves the Company entering into an agreement involving the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or common stock by merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale or other transaction involving the Company or (ii) if our board of directors determines, in exercise of its duties under Maryland law, after consultation with its advisor and its financial advisor (if applicable) or other third party experts familiar with the market for Manhattan office properties, that there is an adverse change in the market for Manhattan office properties that reasonably would be expected to adversely affect proceeding with the Liquidation Plan. Notwithstanding approval of the Liquidation Plan by our stockholders, our board of directors may amend the Liquidation Plan without further action by our stockholders to the extent permitted under then current law.

The following table lists the tenants whose annualized cash rent represented greater than 10% of our total annualized cash rent for all portfolio properties as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

________________________


(1)	Annualized cash rent reflects our 48.9% pro rata share of rent generated by Worldwide Plaza.

The termination, delinquency or non-renewal of any of the above tenants would have a material adverse effect on our revenues. No other tenant represents more than 10% of our annualized cash rent for the periods presented.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2016, we had combined debt of $1.6 billion, including the POL Loans described below and $427.9 million of unconsolidated mortgage debt reflecting our pro rata share of Worldwide Plaza's total mortgage debt of $875.0 million, with a weighted average interest rate equal to 4.3% per annum and a weighted average term to maturity of 2.8 years. Approximately $810.2 million of this debt matures prior to January 3, 2019, the 24-month anniversary of stockholder approval of the Liquidation Plan. As of December 31, 2016, our combined debt to enterprise value was 48% based on the closing price of our common stock of $10.12 per share and fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding of 168.7 million.

Table of Contents

On December 20, 2016, we entered into a mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") in the aggregate amount of $500.0 million and a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan” and, together with the Mortgage Loan, the “POL Loans”) in the aggregate amount of $260.0 million. Borrowings under the Mortgage Loan are secured by a mortgage on real properties (or ground lease or master lease) located in New York, New York at 245-249 West 17th Street, 333 West 34th Street, 216-218 West 18th Street, 50 Varick Street, 229 West 36th Street, 122 Greenwich Street, 350 West 42nd Street, 382-384 Bleecker Street, 350 Bleecker Street, 416-425 Washington Street, 33 West 56th Street and 120 West 57th Street (the "POL Loan Properties").

A portion of the net proceeds of the POL Loans after closing costs was used: (i) to repay the $485.0 million principal amount then outstanding under our revolving credit and term loan facility with Capital One, National Association (the “Credit Facility”); and (ii) to deposit $260.0 million in an operating account that may be used by the Company to purchase the additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza upon exercise of the WWP Option. Prior to the repayment in full of the Credit Facility, all of the POL Loan Properties were included as part of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility.

We will be unable to pay liquidating distributions until we repay the release amounts required to be paid upon sales of POL Loan Properties under the POL Loans, which may delay the timing of liquidating distributions.

WWP Option

We are generally not permitted to engage in any business activities while implementing the Liquidation Plan, except to exercise the WWP Option to purchase additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza, pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement. The purchase price required to exercise the WWP Option equals the product of the percentage interest being acquired and the agreed-upon property value of approximately $1.4 billion (subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for any of our preferred return in arrears) minus the principal balance of the outstanding mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property, which was $875.0 million as of December 31, 2016.

We have the right to exercise the WWP Option by giving notice to our joint venture partner and making a $30.0 million deposit at any time during the period commencing January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, and we intend to exercise the WWP Option during this period with respect to all the equity interests in Worldwide Plaza, subject to our joint venture partner’s right to retain up to 1.2% of our joint venture partner’s membership interest. In accordance with the terms of the WWP Option, the closing of any purchase of additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza would occur between 30 and 90 days after we give notice of our exercise of the WWP Option, subject to extension for up to 60 days if necessary to satisfy the loan assumption conditions described below. The Worldwide Plaza property would remain subject to the mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property in connection with any purchase of additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza pursuant to our exercise of the WWP Option. In order to keep the mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property in place, we must satisfy certain loan assumption conditions, including meeting a minimum net worth requirement of $750.0 million and a minimum value of real estate assets controlled (through ownership or management) requirement of $2.0 billion (exclusive of our interest in the Worldwide Plaza property and cash). While we believe we currently meet such tests, there can be no assurance that we will meet them at the time that we desire to exercise the WWP Option. If we do not exercise the WWP Option, we will be subject to a fee in the amount of $25.0 million.

We expect to fund the estimated $270.0 million in cash required at the closing of our purchase of additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza primarily with proceeds from the POL Loans and cash on hand.

Tax Status

We elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner during our liquidation process, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT. Despite having adopted the Liquidation Plan, in order to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT we must, among other things, continue to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")) determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements until we have completely liquidated. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Table of Contents

Competition

The New York City real estate market is highly competitive and there are many competing properties in the New York MSA. With respect to the assets that we own, we compete for tenants based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property's design to prospective tenants' needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. Many competitors have substantially greater marketing budgets and financial resources than we do which could limit our success when we compete with them directly. Competition could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and on property operating expenses. We also may compete with other entities advised or sponsored by affiliates of the Service Provider for tenants.

Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan we have competition from other properties located in the New York City real estate market both from an operations perspective and with respect to the disposition of our assets. We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business and our net assets in liquidation.

Regulations

Our investments are subject to various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest.

Employees

We have no employees. The employees of the Advisor, the Service Provider and their affiliates perform a full range of real estate services for us, including property management, accounting, legal, asset management and investor relations services.

We are dependent on these affiliates for services that are essential to us, including asset dispositions, asset and property management and other general administrative responsibilities.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

All of our consolidated revenues are from our consolidated real estate properties. We internally evaluate operating performance on an individual property level and view all of our real estate assets as one industry segment; accordingly, all of our properties are aggregated into one reportable segment. See our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 for our revenues from tenants, net income or loss, total assets and other financial information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Set forth below are the risk factors that we believe are material to our investors. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or could delay or reduce liquidating distributions to our stockholders. In this section, references to "you" refers to the holders of our common stock.

Risks Related to The Liquidation Plan

We cannot assure you of the actual amount you will receive in liquidating distributions pursuant to the Liquidation Plan or when you will receive them.

The net proceeds of the Liquidation Plan will be distributed to stockholders over time in one or more liquidating distributions. The actual amount that we will distribute to you in the liquidation will depend upon the actual amount of our liabilities, the actual proceeds from the sale of our properties, the actual fees and expenses incurred in connection with the sale of our properties, the actual expenses incurred in the administration of our properties prior to disposition, our actual general and administrative expenses, including fees and expense reimbursements paid to the Service Provider and its affiliates and other liabilities that may be incurred by us, our ability to continue to meet the requirements necessary to retain our status as a REIT throughout the liquidation process, our ability to avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes throughout the period of the liquidation process and other factors. If our liabilities (including, without limitation, tax liabilities and compliance costs) are greater than we currently expect or if the sales prices of our assets are less than we expect, you will receive less in total liquidating distributions.

Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, we are seeking to sell most or all of our assets and to pay most or all of the liquidating distributions within 12 to 15 months of the Transition Date, although there is no assurance that sales or distributions will be made within that time period. We will be unable to pay liquidating distributions until we repay the release amounts required to be paid upon property sales under the POL Loans, which may delay the timing of liquidating distributions. Additionally, our board of directors has discretion as to the timing of distributions of net sales proceeds.

While we have previously provided estimates about the timing and amount of liquidating distributions that we will make, these estimates are based on multiple assumptions, one or more 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 you will receive in liquidating distributions pursuant to the Liquidation Plan or when they will be paid.

If we are unable to find buyers for our assets on a timely basis or at our expected sales prices, our liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, none of our assets are subject to a binding sale agreement providing for their sale. The sales prices that we will ultimately be able to obtain for our assets are subject to many variables. For example, in order to find buyers in a timely manner, we may be required to lower our asking price below the low end of our current estimate of the asset’s market value. If we are not able to find buyers for these assets in a timely manner or if we have overestimated the sales prices we will receive, our liquidating distributions to our stockholders would be delayed or reduced. Furthermore, real estate sales prices are constantly changing and fluctuate with changes in interest rates, supply and demand dynamics, occupancy percentages, lease rates, the availability of suitable buyers, the perceived quality and dependability of income flows from tenants and a number of other factors, both local and national. Our liquidation proceeds may also be affected by the terms of prepayment or assumption costs associated with debt encumbering our real estate assets. In addition, the amount of transactional fees and expenses or unknown liabilities, if any, may adversely impact the net liquidation proceeds from our assets.

We may require additional capital to implement the Liquidation Plan.

In December 2016, we entered into the POL Loans to repay the Credit Facility in full and provide $260.0 million in additional capital to exercise the WWP Option, which we have the right to do at any time until June 30, 2017. It is possible we may require additional funds for other capital needs including capital expenditures, working capital and other expenses related to our properties. There is no assurance that we will have sufficient capital to implement the Liquidation Plan effectively. If we need additional capital, we are unlikely to be able to access the capital markets and any failure to obtain financing to meet our capital needs, on favorable terms or at all, could reduce and delay the liquidating distributions we make to our stockholders.

The existing loans encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property include provisions which could restrict our ability to assume those loans without lender consent upon exercise of the WWP Option and indirectly could limit our ability to sell assets prior to exercising the WWP Option.

In order to keep the existing mortgage and mezzanine loans encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property in place following exercise of the WWP Option without lender consent, certain loan assumption conditions must be met, including meeting a minimum net worth requirement of $750.0 million and a minimum value of real estate assets controlled (through ownership or management) requirement of $2.0 billion (exclusive of our interest in the Worldwide Plaza property and cash). Selling some of our assets prior to exercising the WWP Option could result in our failing to meet the requirement as to real estate assets controlled. In addition, even if we do not sell assets, there can be no assurance that we will meet these requirements at the time that we desire to exercise the WWP Option. Repayment of the existing loans encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property would result in a substantial defeasance cost, which we estimate would be approximately $122.0 million as of February 1, 2017, and, to the extent we do not meet the loan assumption conditions, we may not be able to obtain lender consent to any assumption on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. These provisions and circumstances, as well as other restrictions in the loan agreements related to the Worldwide Plaza property may cause us to delay the sale of any properties pursuant to the Liquidation Plan until after the WWP Option is exercised.

Our ability to sell the Worldwide Plaza property following our exercise of the WWP Option may be delayed by a right of first offer held by one of the tenants of the Worldwide Plaza property.

The lease with one of the tenants at the Worldwide Plaza property contains a right of first offer requiring us to offer that tenant the option to purchase all of the Worldwide Plaza property, at a price (and on other material terms) proposed by us prior to our selling the Worldwide Plaza property to a third party. If, after a 45-day period, that tenant rejects our offer or fails to deliver the purchase contract accompanying our offer, we may then sell the Worldwide Plaza property to a third party, provided that we will be required to re-offer the property to that tenant if we desire to sell the Worldwide Plaza property for a purchase price (and other economic consideration) less than 92.5% of the initial purchase price contained in our offer to that tenant. The existence of this right of first offer may delay our ability to sell the Worldwide Plaza property on terms and in the timeframe of our choosing and may diminish the price other potential purchasers may be willing to pay for the Worldwide Plaza property, which may reduce or delay the liquidating distributions that will be paid to our stockholders.

If we are unable to satisfy all of our obligations to creditors, or if we have underestimated our future expenses, the amount of liquidation proceeds will be reduced.

Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, we intend to file articles of dissolution with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (“SDAT”) promptly after the sale of all of our remaining assets or at such time as we have transferred our remaining assets, subject to our liabilities, into a liquidating trust. Pursuant to Maryland law, we will continue to exist for the purpose of paying, satisfying and discharging any debts or obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to liquidate and wind up its business and affairs. We intend to pay for all liabilities and distribute all of our remaining assets, which may be accomplished by the formation of a liquidating trust, before we file our articles of dissolution.

Under Maryland law, certain obligations or liabilities imposed by law on our stockholders, directors, or officers cannot be avoided by the dissolution. For example, if we make distributions to our stockholders without making adequate provisions for payment of creditors’ claims, our stockholders could be liable to the creditors to the extent of any payments due to creditors. The liability of any stockholder is, however, limited to the amounts previously received by such stockholder from us (and from any liquidating trust). Accordingly, in such event, a stockholder could be required to return all liquidating distributions previously paid to such stockholder and a stockholder could receive nothing from us under the Liquidation Plan. Moreover, in the event a stockholder has paid taxes on amounts previously received as a liquidating distribution, a repayment of all or a portion of such amount could result in a stockholder incurring a net tax cost if the stockholder’s repayment of an amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in taxes payable. Therefore, to the extent that we have underestimated the size of our contingency reserve and distributions to our stockholders have already been paid, our stockholders may be required to return some or all of such distributions.

Decreases in property values may reduce the amount we receive upon sales of our assets, which would reduce the amount you receive in liquidating distributions.

The Liquidation Plan provides for the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, all of which are real estate investments, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to do so at a price or on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Investments in real properties are relatively illiquid. The amount we receive upon sales of our assets depends on the underlying value of our assets, and the underlying value of our assets may be reduced by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including, without limitation, the following:

•changes in general economic or local conditions;

•changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;


•	changes in interest rates and availability of mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;

•increases in operating expenses;

•the financial performance of our tenants, and the ability of our tenants to satisfy their obligations under their leases;

•vacancies and inability to lease or sublease space;

•potential major repairs which are not presently contemplated or other contingent liabilities associated with the assets;

•competition; and

•changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws.

If our liquidation costs or unpaid liabilities are greater than we expect, our liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced.

Before making the final liquidating distribution, we will need to pay or arrange for the payment of all of our transaction costs in the liquidation, all other costs and all valid claims of our creditors. Our board of directors may also decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us, for which we would pay a premium which has not yet been determined. Our board of directors may also decide to establish a reserve fund to pay these contingent claims. In addition, if the claims of our creditors are greater than we have anticipated, our liquidating distributions may be delayed or reduced from our estimates. Further, if we decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us or a reserve fund is established, payment of liquidating distributions to our stockholders may be delayed or reduced.

Defaults under future sale agreements may delay or reduce liquidating distributions.

In connection with implementing the Liquidation Plan, we will seek to enter into binding sale agreements for each of our properties. The consummation of the potential sales for which we will enter into sale agreements in the future will be subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. If any of the transactions contemplated by these future sale agreements do not close because of a buyer default, failure of a closing condition or for any other reason, we may not be able to enter into a new agreement on a timely basis or on terms that are as favorable as the original sale agreement. Any delay in the completion of asset sales could delay our payment of liquidating distributions to our stockholders. We will also incur additional costs involved in locating a new buyer and negotiating a new sale agreement for this asset. If we incur these additional costs, our liquidating distributions to our stockholders would be reduced.

If we are unable to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and lease currently available space or if tenants default under their leases or other obligations to us during the liquidation process, our cash flow will be reduced and our liquidating distributions may be reduced.

We depend on tenants for revenue, and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. There can be no assurance that, during the implementation of the Liquidation Plan, we will be able to maintain the occupancy rates of currently-leased space, that we would be able to rent certain currently available space and that we would not experience any significant tenant defaults during the liquidation process that were not subsequently cured. Negative trends in one or more of these factors during the liquidation process may adversely affect the sales price of the impacted assets, which would reduce our liquidating distributions. Moreover, to the extent that we receive less rental income than we expect during the liquidation process, our liquidating distributions will be reduced. We may also decide in the event of a tenant default to restructure the lease, which could require us to substantially reduce the rent payable to us under the lease, or make other modifications that are unfavorable to us. Any reduction in our operating cash flow could cause the payment of liquidating distributions to our stockholders to be delayed or reduced.

Because the Liquidation Plan has been approved by our stockholders, we will not resume paying monthly dividends.

In October 2016, we announced that, in light of the Liquidation Plan, which was then subject to stockholder approval, our board of directors had determined that we would not pay a regular dividend for the month of November 2016 and did not expect to pay a regular monthly dividend for the month of December 2016 or thereafter.

Because the Liquidation Plan was approved by our stockholders, we will not resume paying monthly dividends. We expect to make periodic liquidating distributions out of net proceeds of assets sales, subject to satisfying our liabilities and obligations, in lieu of regular monthly dividends. There can be no assurance as to the actual amount or timing of liquidating distributions you will receive.

Pursuing the Liquidation Plan may increase the risk that we will become liable for U.S. federal income and excise taxes.

We generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that we distribute to our stockholders during each taxable year (or, under certain circumstances, during the subsequent taxable year) dividends equal to our taxable income for the year (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain). However, we are subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that our taxable income exceeds the amount of dividends distributed to our stockholders for the taxable year. In addition, we are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income for that year, plus 95% of our capital gain net income for that year, plus 100% of our undistributed taxable income from prior years. While we intend to make distributions to our stockholders sufficient to avoid the imposition of any U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and the imposition of the excise tax, differences in timing between our actual cash flow and the recognition of our taxable income, could cause us to have to either borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the REIT distribution requirements, find another alternative for meeting the REIT distribution requirements, or pay U.S. federal income and excise taxes. In addition (and as discussed in more detail below), net income from the sale of properties that are “dealer” properties (a “prohibited transaction” under the Code) would be subject to a 100% excise tax. The cost of borrowing or the payment of U.S. federal income and excise taxes would reduce the amount of liquidating distributions to our stockholders.

The sale of our assets may cause us to be subject to a 100% excise tax on the net income from “prohibited transactions,” which would reduce the amount of our liquidating distributions.

REITs are subject to a 100% excise tax on any net income from “prohibited transactions,” which include sales or other dispositions of property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the REIT’s trade or business which is not a foreclosure property. The determination of whether property is held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business is inherently factual in nature and, thus, cannot be predicted with certainty. The Code provides a “safe harbor” which, if all its conditions are met, would protect a REIT’s property sales from being considered prohibited transactions. The conditions include, among other things, that the property be held by us for at least two years for the production of rental income and that we do not have more than seven property sales in any taxable year (there are alternative conditions to this seven sales condition, but those alternatives could not be met in the context of our complete liquidation). Each of the properties we currently own has been held by us for at least two years for the production of rental income, and we may attempt to manage the timing of the sales of our properties so that we are able to meet the safe harbor in connection with the Liquidation Plan. However, if we were to exercise the WWP Option and if we are to completely liquidate within 24 months of approval of the Liquidation Plan by our stockholders, it is possible that the IRS could take the position that we do not satisfy the safe harbor with respect to the portion of the Worldwide Plaza property we acquired through the exercise of the WWP Option. Regardless of whether a transaction qualifies for the safe harbor, we believe, but cannot assure you, that all of our properties are held for investment, should not be considered to be held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business (including our interest in the Worldwide Plaza property and any additional interest acquired through the exercise of the WWP Option) and we intend to structure our property sales pursuant to the Liquidation Plan in a manner that none of these sales will be subject to this tax. However, because of the number of properties that would have to be sold and the inability to meet the safe harbor with respect to at least a portion of the Worldwide Plaza property, there is a risk that the IRS could seek to treat some or all of the property sales as prohibited transactions resulting in the payment of taxes by us, in which case the amount of liquidating distributions to our stockholders could be significantly reduced.

Distributing interests in a liquidating trust may cause you to recognize taxable gain prior to the receipt of cash.

The REIT provisions of the Code generally require that each year we distribute as a dividend to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Liquidating distributions we make pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will qualify for the dividends paid deduction, provided that they are made within 24 months of the adoption of such plan. Conditions may arise which cause us not to be able to liquidate within such 24-month period. For instance, it may not be possible to sell our assets at acceptable prices during such period. In such event, rather than retain our assets and risk losing our status as a REIT, we intend, for tax purposes, to transfer our remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust in order to meet the 24-month requirement. We may also elect to transfer our remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust within such 24-month period to avoid the costs of operating as a public company. Such a contribution would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a distribution of our remaining assets to our stockholders, followed by a contribution of the assets to the liquidating trust. As a result, you would recognize gain to the extent your share of the cash and the fair market value of any assets received by the liquidating trust, less any liabilities assumed by the liquidating trust, was greater than your tax basis in your shares of common stock (reduced by the amount of all prior liquidating distributions paid to you during the liquidation period) prior to the subsequent sale of such assets and the distribution to you of the net cash proceeds, if any. Pursuant to IRS guidance, the liquidating trust generally could have up to three years to complete the sale of our assets and distribute the net proceeds to you. Such transfer also may have adverse tax consequences for tax-exempt and non-U.S. stockholders, including with respect to the on-going activity of the liquidating trust.

In addition, it is possible that the fair market value of the assets received by the liquidating trust, as estimated for purposes of determining the extent of the stockholder’s gain at the time interests in the liquidating trust are distributed to the stockholders, will exceed the cash or fair market value of property received by the liquidating trust on a sale of the assets. In this case, the stockholder would recognize a loss in a taxable year subsequent to the taxable year in which the gain was recognized, which loss may be limited under the Code.

Our entity value may be adversely affected by the implementation of the Liquidation Plan.

The implementation of the Liquidation Plan and our engaging in the process of winding-up our operations may dissuade parties that might have an interest in acquiring our company from pursuing such an acquisition and may, especially as the liquidation process progresses and draws closer to completion, also preclude other possible courses of action not yet identified by our board of directors. Accordingly, as we sell assets, it may reduce the likelihood of a party making an offer to acquire us at an entity-level for a value that exceeds what we could realize from individual asset sales.

Our board of directors may terminate or amend the Liquidation Plan without stockholder approval.

Our board of directors has adopted and approved the Liquidation Plan and may terminate the Liquidation Plan without stockholder approval (i) if our board of directors approves us entering into an agreement involving the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or common stock by merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale or other transaction involving us or (ii) if our board of directors determines, in exercise of its duties under Maryland law, after consultation with its advisor and its financial advisor (if applicable) or other third party experts familiar with the market for Manhattan office properties, that there is an adverse change in the market for Manhattan office properties that reasonably would be expected to adversely affect proceeding with the Liquidation Plan. This power of termination may be exercised up to the time that the articles of dissolution have been accepted for record by the SDAT. In addition, our board of directors may amend the Liquidation Plan without further action by our stockholders to the extent permitted under then current law. Subject to the conditions described above, our board of directors may conclude either that its duties under applicable law require it to pursue business opportunities that present themselves or that abandoning the Liquidation Plan is otherwise in our best interests. If our board of directors elects to pursue any alternative to the Liquidation Plan, our stockholders will not receive any further liquidating distributions.

Because liquidating distributions may be made in multiple tax years, if we were to abandon the Liquidation Plan in a tax year subsequent to one in which we already made liquidating distributions, the timing and character of your taxation with respect to liquidating distributions made to you in the prior tax year could change, which may subject you to tax liability (which tax liability could be at ordinary income rather than capital gains rates) in the prior tax year that you would not otherwise have been subject to, and we could lose our REIT status as of the beginning of such prior tax year.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of abandoning the Liquidation Plan are not entirely clear once we have begun making liquidating distributions, in particular because liquidating distributions could be made in multiple tax years during the 24 months we have for U.S. federal income tax purposes to complete our liquidation after the Liquidation Plan has been approved by our stockholders. In general, distributions to you under the Liquidation Plan, including your pro rata share of the fair market value of any assets that are transferred to a liquidating trust, should not be taxable to you for U.S. federal income tax purposes until the aggregate amount of liquidating distributions to you exceeds your adjusted tax basis in your shares of common stock, and then should be taxable to you as capital gain (assuming you hold your shares as a capital asset). However, if we abandon the Liquidation Plan, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any liquidating distributions already made pursuant to the Liquidation Plan would change because they would no longer be treated as having been made as part of our complete liquidation. Instead, any such distributions would be treated as either a distribution made with respect to the shares you hold, subject to the normal rules of U.S. federal income tax the distributions you currently receive are subject to, or as payment to you for the sale or exchange of your shares in partial redemption of them. Whether sale or distribution treatment would apply to you depends on your particular circumstances and we cannot predict which would apply; however, regardless of which treatment would apply, each distribution likely would be at least be partially taxable to you. Accordingly, if we had made liquidating distributions in the tax year we adopted the Liquidation Plan which did not exceed your tax basis in your shares (and therefore were not taxable to you), and we abandoned the Liquidation Plan in the subsequent tax year, you may now have a tax liability with respect to the distributions made to you in the prior tax year, and, if they are treated as distributions rather than a sale or exchange, whether you are taxed at ordinary income or capital gains rates may depend on whether we had declared any portion of such distributions as capital gain dividends. In addition, liquidating distributions we make pursuant to the Liquidation Plan qualify for the dividends paid deduction (which helps us ensure we meet our annual distribution requirement during our liquidation process), provided that they are made within 24 months of the adoption of such plan; however, if such distributions were no longer made pursuant to our complete liquidation within 24 months of the adoption of the Liquidation Plan, whether any part of such distributions qualify for the dividends paid deduction will depend on different criteria. If we had made some liquidating distributions in one tax year and we abandoned the Liquidation Plan in the subsequent tax year, it is possible that we may not have made sufficient distributions in that first tax year to satisfy our annual distribution requirement for that tax year which, if we are unable to cure such failure, could result in the loss of our REIT status effective as of the beginning of that first tax year.

Stockholder litigation related to the Liquidation Plan could result in substantial costs and distract our management.

Historically, extraordinary corporate actions by a company, such as the Liquidation Plan, often lead to securities class action lawsuits being filed against that company. We are already subject to a stockholder lawsuit that includes claims related to the strategic alternatives process that led to the approval of the Liquidation Plan and may become subject to more of this type of litigation as a result of the Liquidation Plan. Defending ourselves in this litigation may be expensive and, even if we ultimately prevail, the process of defending against lawsuits will divert management’s attention from implementing the Liquidation Plan and otherwise operating our business. If we do not prevail in any lawsuit, we may be liable for damages. We cannot predict the amount of any such damages, however, if applicable, they may be significant and may cause liquidating distributions to our stockholders to be delayed.

Because the Liquidation Plan was approved on January 3, 2017, we expect to transition from the going concern to the liquidation basis of accounting, which could require us to write-down our assets.

Following stockholder approval of the Liquidation Plan on January 3, 2017, we anticipate changing our basis of accounting from the going-concern basis to the liquidation basis of accounting, and, commencing with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ending March 31, 2017, we will discontinue use of the going-concern basis of accounting and commence the use of liquidation basis of accounting.

In order for our financial statements to be in accordance with GAAP under the going concern basis of accounting, assets and liabilities are expected to be realized in the normal course of business. In order for our financial statements to be in accordance with GAAP under the liquidation basis of accounting, all of our assets must be stated at the amount of consideration the entity expects to collect, and all of our liabilities must be recorded at the estimated amounts at which the liabilities are expected to be settled. Additionally, we would be required to accrue all income and expenses we expect to earn or incur through the end of liquidation to the extent that we have a reasonable basis for estimation. As part of our transition to the liquidation basis of accounting, we may be required to reduce the carrying value of some or all of our assets and increase our liabilities or record other liabilities to reflect the anticipated effects of an orderly liquidation. Any write-downs in our assets could reduce the price that a third party would be willing to pay to acquire shares of our common stock or our assets.

Table of Contents

Stockholders could be liable to creditors to the extent of liquidating distributions received if contingent reserves are insufficient to satisfy our liabilities.

If a court holds at any time that we have failed to make adequate provision for our expenses and liabilities or if the amount ultimately required to be paid in respect of such liabilities exceeds the amount available from the contingency reserve and the assets of the liquidating trust, our creditors could seek an injunction to prevent us from making distributions under the Liquidation Plan. Any such action could delay or substantially diminish the cash distributions to be paid to stockholders or holders of beneficial interests of the liquidating trust under the Liquidation Plan.

Our common stock may be delisted from the NYSE.

Under the rules of the NYSE, the exchange has discretionary authority to delist our common stock if we proceed with the Liquidation Plan. In addition, the exchange may commence delisting proceedings against us if (i) the average closing price of our common stock falls below $1.00 per share over a 30-day consecutive trading period, (ii) our average market capitalization falls below $15.0 million over a 30-day consecutive trading period, or (iii) we lose our REIT qualification. Even if the NYSE does not move to delist our common stock, we may voluntarily delist our common stock from the NYSE in an effort to reduce our operating expenses and maximize our liquidating distributions. If our common stock is delisted, you may have difficulty trading your shares of our common stock on the secondary market, to the extent one develops or exists.

Interests in any liquidating trust we may establish pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will be generally non-transferable.

If we cannot sell our assets and pay our debts by January 3, 2019, the 24-month anniversary of stockholder approval of the Liquidation Plan, we intend, for tax purposes, to transfer and assign our remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust. Any stockholders who have not sold their shares of common stock prior to this transfer and assignment will receive beneficial interests in the liquidating trust equivalent to their ownership interests in us as represented by the shares of our common stock they held prior to the transfer and assignment. Beneficial interests in the liquidating trust will be generally non-transferable except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. Because of the illiquid nature of these beneficial interests, there can be no assurance as to how long any holder thereof may be required to hold them.

Risks Related to Our Properties and Operations

All of our properties are located in the New York MSA, making us dependent upon the economic climate in New York City.

All of the real estate assets we own are located in the New York MSA. We are subject to risks generally inherent in concentrating investments in a certain geography. These risks resulting from a lack of diversification may become even greater in the event of a downturn in the commercial real estate industry and could significantly adversely affect the value of our properties. A downturn in New York City’s economy, in a submarket within New York City or in the overall national economy could, for example, result in reduced demand for office or lodging space. Likewise, declines in the financial services or media sectors may have a disproportionate adverse effect on the New York City real estate market.

We face significant competition for tenants.

The New York City real estate market is highly competitive and there are many competing properties in the New York MSA. With respect to the assets that we own, we compete for tenants based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. Many competitors have substantially greater marketing budgets and financial resources than we do, which could limit our success when we compete with them directly. Competition could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and on property operating expenses. We also may compete with other entities advised or sponsored by affiliates of the Service Provider for tenants.

Subsequent to the adoption of the Liquidation Plan we have competition from other properties located in the New York

City real estate market both from an operations perspective and with respect to the disposition of our assets. We cannot assure

you that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business and our net assets in

liquidation.

We may be unable to renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire.

We may be unable to renew expiring leases on terms and conditions that are as, or more, favorable as the terms and conditions of the expiring leases. In addition, vacancies may occur at one or more of our properties due to a default by a tenant on its lease or expiration of a lease. Vacancies may reduce the value of a property as a result of reduced cash flow generated by the property. In addition, changes in space utilization by our tenants may impact our ability to renew or relet space without the need to incur substantial costs in renovating or redesigning the internal configuration of the relevant property. If we are unable to promptly renew expiring leases or release the space at similar rates or if we incur substantial costs in renewing or release the space, our cash flow and the amount of liquidating distributions we pay could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Tenant credit concentrations make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to those tenants.

As of December 31, 2016, the following tenants represented 5% or more of our total annualized cash rents:



Tenant		Percentage of Annualized Cash Rent
Cravath, Swaine & Moore, LLP⁽¹⁾		15.8%
Nomura Holding America, Inc.⁽¹⁾		10.5%
Twitter, Inc.		8.1%
Macy's, Inc.		6.6%
Spring Studios New York LLC		6.2%

________________________


(1)	Annualized cash rent reflects our 48.9% pro rata share of rent generated by Worldwide Plaza.

The financial failure of any or all of these tenants is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial condition, the value of the applicable property or the amount or timing of liquidating distributions. In addition, the value of our properties are driven in part by the credit quality of the underlying tenants, and an adverse change in the tenants’ financial conditions or a decline in the credit rating of such tenants may result in a decline in the value of our properties.

If a tenant declares bankruptcy, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.

Any of our tenants, or any guarantor of a tenant's lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Title 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States. A bankruptcy filing by one of our tenants or any guarantor of a tenant's lease obligations would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we receive an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. There is no assurance the tenant or its trustee would agree to assume the lease. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have a general unsecured claim for damages and it is unlikely we would receive any payments from the tenant.

A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments, which could adversely affect our financial condition or the amount or timing of our liquidating distributions.

The transition of advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider may adversely affect or business or our ability to implement the Liquidation Plan.

On December 19, 2016, we entered into a series of agreements, including the Services Agreement and amendments to the Advisory Agreement and the Property Management Agreement, pursuant to which the Service Provider became the exclusive advisor to us with respect to all matters primarily related to the Liquidation Plan effective January 3, 2017 and will replace the Advisor as the external advisor to us with respect to all other matters on the Transition Date. There can be no assurance, however, that the agreements with respect to the transition of services from the Advisor to the Service Provider will be sufficient to prevent any disruption or adverse effect to our business or our ability to implement the Liquidation Plan.

Our ability to operate our business and implement the Liquidation Plan depends upon the participation of executive officers, and other key personnel of the Service Provider, and there is no assurance such officers and personnel will remain in place.

We are an externally managed company and have no employees of our own, and our ability to operate our business, including implementing the Liquidation Plan and otherwise operate on a day-to-day basis, will depend to a significant degree upon the contributions of our executive officers, and other key personnel of the Service Provider. Personnel and services that we require are provided to us under contracts with an external advisor, and we are dependent on an external advisor to manage our operations and manage our real estate assets, including sale of our real estate assets. These responsibilities also include arranging financings, providing accounting services, providing information technology services, preparing and filing all reports required to be filed by it with the SEC, the IRS and other regulatory agencies, maintaining our REIT status, and maintaining our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"). The Service Provider replaced the Advisor as the exclusive advisor to us with respect to all matters primarily related to the Liquidation Plan on January 3, 2017 and will replace the Advisor as the external advisor to us with respect to all other matters on the Transition Date.

Table of Contents

On December 19, 2016, in connection with our entry into the Services Agreement, we also entered into a letter agreement with the Advisor requiring us to fund, and the Advisor to pay, certain amounts to incentivize and retain certain personnel of the Advisor and its affiliates during the term of the Advisory Agreement. However, there still can be no assurance that all, or any, of these key personnel will continue to provide services to us or the Advisor in connection with the transition of advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider, and the loss of any of these key personnel could adversely affect our business and our ability to successfully implement the Liquidation Plan.

The loss of, or inability to retain, any key personnel of the Service Provider could also adversely affect our business or our ability to successfully implement the Liquidation Plan. Under the Services Agreement, we have agreed that, on the Transition Date, we will appoint Wendy Silverstein as our chief executive officer and John Garilli as our chief financial officer, but there can be no assurance that these individuals, or suitable replacements, will be available to serve in these capacities or that the Service Provider will otherwise be able to retain the executive officers and other key personnel needed to successfully implement the Liquidation Plan. Moreover, the Services Agreement may be terminated if Ms. Silverstein resigns or is otherwise unavailable to serve as our chief executive officer for any reason and the Service Provider has not identified a replacement chief executive officer who is acceptable to a majority of our independent directors, and any termination of the Services Agreement on this basis could have an adverse effect on our ability to implement the Liquidation Plan and our business.

Any adverse changes in the financial condition of, or our relationship with, the Service Provider could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments. Additionally, changes in ownership or management practices, the occurrence of adverse events affecting the Service Provider or its affiliates or other companies advised by the Service Provider and its affiliates could create adverse publicity and adversely affect us and our relationship with lenders, tenants or counterparties.

Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general.

Our operating results are subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:


•	changes in general economic or local conditions;


•	changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;


•	changes in interest rates and availability of mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;


•	increases in operating expenses;


•	vacancies and inability to lease or sublease space;


•	changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and


•	periods of high interest rates and tight money supply.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage would reduce our cash flows and our liquidating distributions.

Our general liability coverage, property insurance coverage and umbrella liability coverage on all our properties may not be adequate to insure against liability claims and provide for the costs of defense. Similarly, we may not have adequate coverage against the risk of direct physical damage or to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property. Moreover, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with such catastrophic events could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.

This risk is particularly relevant with respect to potential acts of terrorism. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the "TRIA"), under which the U.S. federal government bears a significant portion of insured losses caused by terrorism, will expire on December 31, 2020, and there can be no assurance that Congress will act to renew or replace the TRIA following its expiration. In the event that the TRIA is not renewed or replaced, terrorism insurance may become difficult or impossible to obtain at reasonable costs or at all, which may result in adverse impacts and additional costs to us.

Changes in the cost or availability of insurance due to the non-renewal of the TRIA or for other reasons could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss, which would reduce our liquidating distributions. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, the amount of liquidating distributions we make to our stockholders would be negatively impacted.

Additionally, mortgage lenders insist in some cases that commercial property owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Accordingly, to the extent terrorism risk insurance policies are not available at reasonable costs, if at all, our ability to finance or refinance our properties could be impaired. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate, or any, coverage for such losses.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, civilian unrest, or war may affect the markets in which we operate our business and our profitability.

Our properties are located in the New York MSA which has experienced, and remains susceptible to, terrorist attacks. In addition, any kind of terrorist activity or violent criminal acts, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could have a negative effect on our business and the value of our properties. More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the worldwide financial markets and economy including demand for properties and the availability of financing.

Our property taxes could increase due to reassessment or property tax rate changes.

We are required to pay real property taxes in respect of our properties and such taxes may increase as our properties are reassessed by taxing authorities or as property tax rates change. An increase in the assessed value of our properties or our property tax rates could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and reduce the amount of liquidating distributions we make to our stockholders.

Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental matters and discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect our operating results.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations (including those of foreign jurisdictions), a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances.

In addition, when excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing, as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected property, which would adversely affect our operating results.

The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could materially adversely affect our business, the value of our properties or our results of operations and, consequently, the amounts available to make liquidating distributions to our stockholders.

Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from operating such properties. Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require us to incur material expenditures. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability.

There are costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "Disabilities Act").

Our properties are subject to the Disabilities Act. Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities" that generally require that buildings and services, including restaurants and retail stores, be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Act's requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties, or, in some cases, an award of damages.

Our business could suffer in the event the Service Provider or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations experiences system failures or cyber-incidents or a deficiency in cybersecurity.

Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for the internal information technology systems of the Service Provider and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business.

A cyber-incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information resources. More specifically, a cyber-incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event that can result in third parties gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information. As reliance on technology in our industry has increased, so have the risks posed to the systems of the Service Provider and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations. In addition, the risk of a cyber-incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted attacks and intrusions evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected.

Table of Contents

The remediation costs and lost revenues experienced by a victim of a cyber-incident may be significant and significant resources may be required to repair system damage, protect against the threat of future security breaches or to alleviate problems, including reputational harm, loss of revenues and litigation, caused by any breaches.

In addition, a security breach or other significant disruption involving the IT networks and related systems of the Service Provider or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations could:


•	result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, missed reporting deadlines and/or missed permitting deadlines;


•	affect our ability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;


•	result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information (including information about guests at our hotel or tenants), which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;


•	result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;


•	require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;


•	subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or


•	adversely impact our reputation among our tenants, guests at our hotel and investors generally.

Although the Service Provider and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations intend to continue to implement industry-standard security measures, there can be no assurance that those measures will be sufficient, and any material adverse effect experienced by the Service Provider and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations could, in turn, have an adverse impact on us.

Any hedging strategies we utilize may not be successful in mitigating our risks.

We have entered into hedging transactions to manage risk of interest rate changes with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or own real estate assets. To the extent that we use derivative financial instruments in connection with these risks, we are exposed to credit, basis and legal enforceability risks. Derivative financial instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. In this context, credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. Basis risk occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks, including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract. We may not be able to manage these risks effectively.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Employees of the Service Provider, including employees who will be our executive officers, face conflicts of interest related to the positions they hold with the Service Provider and its affiliates.

We are an externally managed company and have no employees. Personnel and services that we require are provided to us under contracts with an external advisor, which will be the Service Provider effective on the Transition Date, and we will be dependent on the Service Provider to manage our operations and manage our real estate assets, including sale of our real estate assets. Employees or consultants of the Service Provider who will provide services to us, including employees or consultants who will serve as our officers, also hold or may hold positions with the Service Provider and its affiliates and provide services with respect to other entities or with respect to other properties or businesses of the Service Provider and its affiliates, which could result in conflicts of interest.

The Service Provider and its affiliates or entities that they advise own properties, and may seek to acquire additional properties, in the New York metropolitan area. Conflicts could result in actions or inactions by the Service Provider or employees or consultants of the Service Provider, including employees or consultants who will be our executive officers, that are detrimental to our business. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from involvement in activities related to (a) allocation of management time and services between us and the other entities, (b) terms and timing of sales of properties (c) the lease of vacant space or renewal of existing leases at our properties as compared to properties owned or managed by affiliates of the Service Provider, and (d) any decision to sell our company and abandon the Liquidation Plan.

Table of Contents

The Service Provider and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the structure of the fees they receive, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.

Under the Services Agreement, the Service Provider is entitled to certain fees and other compensation which may result in its interests not being wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. For example, the Service Provider could be motivated to recommend certain actions that could increase the potential that it will earn incentive fees, but which may not be consistent with actions desired by our stockholders.

Risks Related to our Corporate Structure and Common Stock

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and may fluctuate.

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have in the past and may in the future adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect the price of our common stock are:


•	our financial condition and performance;


•	the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults;


•	actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;


•	our dividend policy, including the suspension of dividends;


•	the reputation of REITs and real estate investments generally and the attractiveness of REIT equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, and fixed income securities;


•	our reputation and the reputation of the Service Provider and its affiliates;


•	uncertainty and volatility in the equity and credit markets;


•	fluctuations in interest rates;


•	changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs;


•	failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates;


•	speculation in the press or investment community;


•	sales of our assets pursuant to the Liquidation Plan;


•	our common stock being removed from indexes due to the Liquidation Plan;


•	the Liquidation Plan causing us to no longer qualify to be held by certain institutional investors under their governing documents;


•	strategic actions by our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;


•	the extent of institutional investor interest in us;


•	the extent of short-selling of our common stock and the shares of our competitors;


•	fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors;


•	general financial and economic market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for REITs and other real estate related companies;


•	domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance; and


•	all other risk factors addressed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We depend on our OP and its subsidiaries for cash flow and are structurally subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries.

Our only significant asset is the general partnership interests we own in our OP and assets held by us for the use and benefit of our OP. We conduct, and intend to continue conducting, all of our business operations through our OP. Accordingly, we rely on distributions from our OP and its subsidiaries of their net earnings and cash flows.

There is no assurance that our OP or its subsidiaries will be able to, or be permitted to, pay distributions to us that will enable us to pay our obligations. Each of our OP's subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from these entities. In addition, because we are a holding company, stockholder claims will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in connection with implementing the Liquidation Plan or in the event of our bankruptcy or reorganization, our assets and those of our OP and its subsidiaries will be able to satisfy stockholder claims as stockholders only after all of our and our OP's and its subsidiaries liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.

Existing stockholders’ interests will be diluted if we issue additional shares in connection with the OPP.

Additional limited partnership units of the OP entitled “LTIP units” (“LTIP units”) issued under our 2014 Second Amended and Restated 2014 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement (the “OPP”) to the Advisor are eligible to be earned in the third and final year of the OPP on April 15, 2017 (the “Year 3 LTIP units”) and, if earned, will be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of our common stock. If a change of control (as defined in the OPP) occurs prior to April 15, 2017, the calculation of the Year 3 LTIP units will be made as of the day immediately preceding the close of the change of control and the value of such Year 3 LTIP units will be paid to the Advisor in cash at the closing. In either event, the number of Year 3 LTIP units earned will be calculated based on the achievement of certain absolute and relative performance criteria related to the total return to our stockholders (share price appreciation plus dividends and other distributions). Existing stockholders’ interests will be diluted (and the amount of liquidating distributions each share of common stock will be entitled to will be reduced) if we issue additional shares of common stock.

Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our officers and directors are limited, which could reduce recoveries against them if they cause us to incur losses.

Subject to certain limitations set forth therein or under Maryland law, our charter provides that no director or officer will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages and requires us to indemnify our directors and our officers. Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the corporation’s best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. We and our stockholders also may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce recoveries against them. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs or otherwise reimburse for losses incurred by our directors, officers, employees and agents, or the Advisor, the Service Provider and their respective affiliates in some cases pursuant to our agreements with them.

The limit on the number of shares a person may own may discourage a takeover that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our board of directors, no person may own more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of our stock or more than 9.8% (in value or number, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of the outstanding shares of our stock. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock. Similarly, this restriction further limits a stockholder's ability to sell shares.

Maryland law prohibits certain business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us to be acquired.

Under Maryland law, "business combinations" between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:


•	any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation's outstanding voting stock; or


•	an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding stock of the corporation.

A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.

After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:


•	80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and


•	two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation's common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. The business combination statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

Maryland law limits the ability of a third-party to buy a large ownership interest in us and exercise voting power in electing directors, which may discourage a takeover that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.

The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that "control shares" of a Maryland corporation acquired in a "control share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of stock owned by the acquirer, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation, are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. "Control shares" are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer can exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions of our stock by any person. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

Office Industry Risks

Declines in overall activity in the New York MSA may adversely affect the performance of our office properties.

A total of 83% of our properties measured by rentable square feet as of December 31, 2016 consisted of commercial office properties located in the New York MSA. Rental income from office properties may fluctuate with general market and economic conditions. Our office properties may be adversely affected by market or economic challenges experienced by the U.S. economy or real estate industry as a whole. Because our portfolio includes commercial office buildings located in the New York MSA, which has a relatively large number of financial and professional services sector, significant job losses in the financial and professional services sector, which may decrease demand for office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted.

We also may experience a decrease in occupancy and rental rates accompanied by increases in the cost of re-leasing space (including for tenant improvements) and in uncollectible receivables. Early lease terminations may significantly contribute to a decline in occupancy of our office properties and may adversely affect the value of the impacted property. While lease termination fees increase current period income, future rental income may be diminished because, during periods in which market rents decline, it is unlikely that we will collect from replacement tenants the full contracted amount which had been payable under the terminated leases.

We may be adversely affected by certain trends that reduce demand for office real estate.

Some businesses are rapidly evolving to increasingly permit employee telecommuting, flexible work schedules, open workplaces and teleconferencing. These practices enable businesses to reduce their space requirements. A continuation of the movement towards these practices could over time erode the overall demand for office space and, in turn, place downward pressure on occupancy, rental rates and property valuations.

Retail Industry Risks

Retail conditions may adversely affect our income.

A total of 9% of our property holdings measured by rentable square feet as of December 31, 2016 is comprised of commercial retail properties located in the New York MSA. A retail property's revenues and value may be adversely affected by a number of factors, many of which apply to real estate investment generally, but which also include trends in the retail industry and perceptions by retailers or shoppers of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the retail property. In addition, to the extent that the investing public has a negative perception of the retail sector, the value of our retail properties may be negatively impacted.

Some of our leases provide for base rent plus contractual base rent increases. We also have leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant's sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. Under those leases which contain contingent rent clauses, our revenue from tenants may increase as the sales of our tenants increase. Generally, retailers face declining revenues during downturns in the economy. As a result, the portion of our revenue which we derive from contingent rent leases could decline in a general economic downturn.

Our revenue will be impacted by the success and economic viability of our anchor retail tenants. Our reliance on single or significant tenants in certain buildings may decrease our ability to lease vacated space.

In the retail sector, any tenant occupying a large portion of the gross leasable area of a retail center, a tenant of any of the triple-net single-user retail properties outside the primary geographical area of investment, commonly referred to as an anchor tenant, or a tenant that is our anchor tenant at more than one retail center, may become insolvent, may suffer a downturn in business, or may decide not to renew its lease. Any of these events would result in a reduction or cessation in rental payments to us and would adversely affect our results of operations and our financial condition and could reduce or delay our liquidating distributions. A lease termination by an anchor tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants whose leases permit cancellation or rent reduction if another tenant's lease is terminated. We may own properties where the tenants may have rights to terminate their leases if certain other tenants are no longer open for business. These "co-tenancy" provisions also may exist in some leases where we own a portion of a retail property and one or more of the anchor tenants leases space in that portion of the center not owned or controlled by us. If such tenants were to vacate their space, tenants with co-tenancy provisions would have the right to terminate their leases with us or seek a rent reduction from us. In such event, we may be unable to re-lease the vacated space. Similarly, the leases of some anchor tenants may permit the anchor tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new anchor tenant could cause customer traffic in the retail center to decrease and thereby reduce the income generated by that retail center. A lease transfer to a new anchor tenant could also allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases at the retail center. If we are unable to re-lease the vacated space to a new anchor tenant, we may incur additional expenses in order to re-model the space to be able to re-lease the space to more than one tenant.

Competition with other retail channels may reduce our profitability.

Our retail tenants face potentially changing consumer preferences and increasing competition from other forms of retailing, such as retailing conducted through internet websites (which we refer to as e-commerce), discount shopping centers, outlet centers, upscale neighborhood strip centers, catalogues and other forms of direct marketing, discount shopping clubs and telemarketing. Other retail properties within the market area of our retail properties may compete with our retail properties for customers, affecting their tenants' cash flows and thus affecting their ability to pay rent. In addition, some of our tenants' rent payments may be based on the amount of sales revenue that they generate. If these tenants experience competition, the amount of their rent may decrease and our cash flow will decrease.

Moreover, the use of the internet by consumers continues to gain popularity and migration towards e-commerce is expected to continue. This increase in internet sales could result in a downturn in the business of our current tenants in their "brick and mortar" locations and could affect the way future tenants lease space.

Lodging Industry Risks

Our hotel is subject to all the risks common to the hotel industry and subject to market conditions that affect all hotel properties.

One of the properties we own is a hotel located in New York City that is subject to all the risks of the hotel industry, particularly the hotel industry in the New York MSA, which may include:


•	increases in supply of hotel rooms that exceed increases in demand;


•	increases in energy costs and other travel expenses that reduce business and leisure travel;


•	reduced business and leisure travel due to continued geo-political uncertainty, including terrorism, or for other reasons;


•	reduced business and leisure travel from other countries to the United States due to the strength of the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of other countries;


•	adverse effects of declines in general and local economic activity;


•	increased competition from other existing hotels in our markets and with alternative lodging companies, such as Airbnb;


•	new hotels entering our markets, which may adversely affect the occupancy levels and average daily rates of our lodging properties;


•	an increase in internet bookings, which may enable internet booking intermediaries to obtain higher commissions, reduced room rates or other significant contract concessions from our third-party hotel property manager;


•	increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors that may not be offset by increased room rates;


•	unavailability of labor;


•	changes in, and the related costs of compliance with, governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances;


•	inability to adapt to dominant trends in the hotel industry or introduce new concepts and products that take advantage of opportunities created by changing consumer spending patterns and demographics; and


•	adverse effects of international, national, regional and local economic and market conditions.

In addition, the hotel industry may be adversely affected by factors outside of our control, such as extreme weather conditions or natural disasters, terrorist attacks or alerts, outbreaks of contagious diseases, airline strikes, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel.

As a REIT, we cannot directly or indirectly operate our lodging property.

We cannot and do not directly or indirectly operate our lodging property and instead rely on the ability of a third-party hotel management company to operate our lodging property. In order for us to satisfy certain REIT qualification rules, we cannot directly or indirectly operate any lodging property or actively participate in the decisions affecting its daily operations. The lodging property that we own is leased to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), which has entered into a hotel management agreement with a third-party hotel management company to operate the properties that we have leased to the TRS. We cannot and do not control this third-party hotel management company, which is responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management including, but not limited to, the implementation of significant operating decisions. Thus, even if we believe our lodging property is being operated inefficiently or in a manner that does not result in satisfactory operating results, we may not be able to require the third-party hotel management company to change its method of operation. Any negative publicity or other adverse developments that affect that operator generally may adversely affect the performance of our lodging property.

Table of Contents

We rely on the third-party hotel management company to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting at our lodging property. We do not, however, control the design or implementation of or changes to these internal controls. We may not be able to require the third-party hotel management company to change its internal control structure. This could require us to implement extensive and possibly inefficient controls at a parent level in an attempt to mitigate such deficiencies. If such controls are not effective, the accuracy of the results of our operations that we report could be affected. Accordingly, our ability to conclude that, as a company, our internal controls are effective is significantly dependent upon the effectiveness of internal controls that our third-party hotel management company has implemented at our lodging property. It is possible that we could have a significant deficiency or material weakness as a result of the ineffectiveness of the internal controls at our lodging property.

If we replace the third-party hotel management company, we may be required by the terms of the relevant management agreement to pay substantial termination fees, and we may experience significant disruptions at our lodging property. We may not be able to make arrangements with a third-party hotel management company with substantial prior lodging experience in the future and could experience disruptions in our operations.

Our use of the TRS structure increases our expenses.

A TRS structure subjects us to the risk of increased lodging operating expenses. The performance of any TRS is based on the operations of the applicable lodging property. Our operating risks include not only changes in hotel revenues and changes to our TRSs' ability to pay the rent due to us under the leases, but also increased hotel operating expenses, including, but not limited to, the following cost elements:


•	wage and benefit costs;


•	repair and maintenance expenses;


•	energy costs;


•	property taxes;


•	insurance costs; and


•	other operating expenses.

There are risks associated with employing hotel employees.

We are generally subject to risks associated with the employment of hotel employees. Our lodging property is leased to a TRS, which entered into a hotel management agreement with a third-party hotel management companies to operate the lodging properties that we lease to the TRS. Hotel operating revenues and expenses for this property are included in our consolidated results of operations. As a result, although we do not directly employ or manage the labor force at our lodging properties, we are subject to many of the costs and risks generally associated with the hotel labor force. Our third-party property manager is responsible for hiring and maintaining the labor force at our lodging property and for establishing and maintaining the appropriate processes and controls over such activities. From time to time, the operations of our lodging property may be disrupted through strikes, public demonstrations or other labor actions and related publicity. We may also incur increased legal costs and indirect labor costs as a result of the aforementioned disruptions, or contract disputes or other events. Our third-party property manager may be targeted by union actions or adversely impacted by the disruption caused by organizing activities.

Risks Associated with Debt Financing and Investments

We have outstanding debt, and the amount of debt and its cost may increase and refinancing may not be available on acceptable terms.

Our business is subject to risks normally associated with debt financing. The total principal amount of our combined outstanding indebtedness, which generally comprises mortgage loans secured by our properties, our pro rata share of Worldwide Plaza's indebtedness and our other mortgage and mezzanine indebtedness was $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2016. We may borrow additional funds if we need funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders. We also may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT.

We may be unable to obtain debt financing or refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity. Our substantial indebtedness and the cash flow associated with serving our indebtedness could have important consequences, including the risks that:


•	our cash flow could be insufficient to pay principal and interest;


•	our debt financing contains prepayment penalties, assumption fees or other provisions that restrict our ability to transfer assets;


•	we might be required to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay our indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of liquidating distributions we make;


•	our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, satisfaction of debt service requirements and general corporate or other purposes could be limited;


•	we may not be able to refinance existing indebtedness (which requires substantial principal payments at maturity) and, if we can, the terms of such refinancing might not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness;


•	if principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our cash flow may not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt; and


•	prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing (such as the possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans) may result in higher interest rates, which could adversely affect net income, cash flow and our ability to service debt and pay liquidating distributions.

In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of an investment in our common stock. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. In such event, we may be unable to pay the amount of dividends required in order to maintain our REIT status. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. If we provide a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to make cash distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected which could result in our losing our REIT status and would result in a decrease in the amount of liquidating distributions we will be able to pay.

Table of Contents

Covenants in the instruments governing our existing indebtedness could limit our operational and financial flexibility or result in covenant breaches.

The POL Loans contain operating covenants and covenants related to maintaining minimum net worth and liquid assets that could limit our financial and operational flexibility, In addition, we will be unable to pay liquidating distributions until we repay the release amounts required to be paid upon property sales under the POL Loans, which may delay the timing of liquidating distributions.

The other mortgage loans we have include certain property-level financial covenants including debt service coverage ratios covenants, as well as transfer restrictions. The mortgages relating to many of the properties we have acquired include restrictions, such as prepayment penalties or assumption fees, that could affect our ability to sell properties or the net proceeds we would realize upon a sale.

These covenants may negatively impact our ability to complete sales of our assets or the timing and amount of our liquidating distributions. If we fail to satisfy those covenants, we would be in default and may be required to repay our indebtedness with capital from other sources. Under such circumstances, other sources of debt or equity capital may not be available to us, or may be available only on unattractive terms.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and reduce the amount of liquidating distributions we pay to our stockholders.

We have incurred substantial indebtedness, of which $1.1 billion outstanding as of December 31, 2016, among other things, bears interest at variable interest rates. We have not entered into any swaps, and have purchased LIBOR caps on only $305.0 million of this variable rate indebtedness, to minimize the impact of increases in interest rates on this variable rate indebtedness. Accordingly, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which could reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks

Our failure to remain qualified as a REIT would subject us to U.S. federal income tax and potentially state and local tax, and would adversely affect our operations and reduce the amount of our liquidating distributions.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010 and intend to operate in a manner that would allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT until we have completed our liquidation. However, we may terminate our REIT qualification, if our board of directors determines that not qualifying as a REIT is in our best interests, or inadvertently. Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex and interpretation of the U.S. federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT is limited. Furthermore, any opinion of our counsel, including tax counsel, as to our eligibility to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service ( the "IRS") and is not a guarantee that we will qualify, or continue to qualify, as a REIT. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in operating so we can remain qualified as a REIT. Our ability to satisfy the asset tests depends on our analysis of the characterization and fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals. Our compliance with the REIT income or quarterly asset requirements also depends on our ability to successfully manage the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, if certain of our operations were to be recharacterized by the IRS, such recharacterization would jeopardize our ability to satisfy all requirements for qualification as a REIT. Furthermore, future legislative, judicial or administrative changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws could be applied retroactively, which could result in our disqualification as a REIT.

If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT qualification. Losing our REIT qualification would reduce our net earnings available for distribution to stockholders, including liquidating distributions, because of the additional tax liability.

Table of Contents

Even though we qualify as a REIT, in certain circumstances, we may incur tax liabilities that would reduce our cash available for other purposes.

Even though we qualify and to the extent we maintain our status as a REIT, we may be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. For example, net income from the sale of properties that are "dealer" properties sold by a REIT (a "prohibited transaction" under the Code) will be subject to a 100% tax. We also may decide to retain net capital gain we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay U.S. federal income tax directly on such income. We also will be subject to corporate tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income. We also may be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, including franchise, payroll and transfer taxes, either directly or at the level of our OP or at the level of the other companies through which we indirectly own our assets, such as our TRSs, which are subject to full U.S. federal, state, local and foreign corporate-level income taxes. Any taxes we pay directly or indirectly will reduce our cash available for other purposes.

To maintain our qualification as a REIT we must meet annual distribution requirements, which may force us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions.

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which dividends we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (a) 85% of our ordinary income, (b) 95% of our capital gain net income and (c) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. It is possible that we might not be able to pay distributions sufficient to meet the annual distribution requirements and to avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our earnings in order to continue to qualify as a REIT during our liquidation process.

Our TRSs are subject to corporate-level taxes and our dealings with our TRSs may be subject to 100% excise tax.

A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a TRS. A corporation of which a TRS directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS. Overall, no more than 25% (20% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017) of the gross value of a REIT's assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs.

A TRS may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT, including gross income from operations pursuant to management contracts. We will lease any "qualified lodging facilities" we own to one or more TRSs which in turn contract with independent third-party hotel management companies to operate such "qualified lodging facilities" on behalf of such TRSs. We may use our TRSs generally for other activities as well, such as to hold properties for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business or to hold assets or conduct activities that we cannot conduct directly as a REIT. A TRS will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax on its taxable income. In addition, the rules, which are applicable to us as a REIT, also impose a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm's-length basis.

If our leases to our TRSs are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT.

To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy two gross income tests, under which specified percentages of our gross income must be derived from certain sources, such as "rents from real property." In order for rent to qualify as "rents from real property" for purposes of the REIT gross income tests, the leases must be respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not be treated as service contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. If our leases are not respected as true leases for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT.

If our OP failed to qualify as a partnership or is not otherwise disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT.

We intend to maintain the status of our OP as a partnership or a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, if the IRS were to successfully challenge the status of our OP as a partnership or disregarded entity for such purposes, it would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would reduce the amount of distributions that our OP could make to us. This also would result in our failing to qualify as a REIT, and becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our income. This substantially would reduce our cash available to pay liquidating distributions and the yield on an investment in our common stock. In addition, if any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which our OP owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership and is otherwise not disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to the OP. Such a recharacterization of an underlying property owner could also threaten our ability to maintain our REIT qualification.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities. Any income from a hedging transaction we enter into to manage risk of interest rate changes, price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets or in certain cases to hedge previously acquired hedges entered into to manage risks associated with property that has been disposed of or liabilities that have been extinguished, if properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations, does not constitute "gross income" for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions will likely be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both of the gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRSs would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in a TRS generally will not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward against future taxable income of such TRS.

Complying with REIT requirements may force us to forego and/or liquidate otherwise attractive investment opportunities.

To qualify as a REIT, we must ensure that we meet the REIT gross income tests annually and that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified REIT real estate assets, including certain mortgage loans and certain kinds of mortgage-related securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets can consist of the securities of any one issuer (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) and no more than 25% (20% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017) of the value of our total assets can be represented by securities of one or more TRSs. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate assets from our portfolio or not make otherwise attractive investments in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

The ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may subject us to U.S. federal income tax and reduce dividends to our stockholders.

Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. While we have elected to be taxed as a REIT, we may terminate our REIT election if we determine that qualifying as a REIT is no longer in our best interests. If we cease to be a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders.

We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could increase our tax liability, reduce our operating flexibility and reduce the market price of our common stock.

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in shares of our common stock. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and there can be no assurance that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. Stockholders are urged to consult with their tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on their investment in our shares and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.

Although REITs generally receive better tax treatment than entities taxed as regular corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of our stockholders.

Table of Contents

The share ownership restrictions of the Code for REITs and the 9.8% share ownership limit in our charter may inhibit market activity in our shares of stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.

In order to qualify as a REIT, five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code, may not own, actually or constructively, more than 50% in value of our issued and outstanding shares of stock at any time during the last half of each taxable year, other than the first year for which a REIT election is made. Attribution rules in the Code determine if any individual or entity actually or constructively owns our shares of stock under this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our shares of stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year for each taxable year, other than the first year for which a REIT election is made. To help ensure that we meet these tests, among other purposes, our charter restricts the acquisition and ownership of our shares of stock.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT while we so qualify. Unless exempted by our board of directors, for so long as we qualify as a REIT, our charter prohibits, among other limitations on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, any person from beneficially or constructively owning (applying certain attribution rules under the Code) more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock and more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of our shares of stock. Our board of directors may not grant an exemption from these restrictions to any proposed transferee whose ownership in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit would result in the termination of our qualification as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply, however, if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with the restrictions is no longer required in order for us to continue to qualify as a REIT.

These ownership limits could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of the stockholders.

Non-U.S. stockholders will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax and may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends received from us and upon the disposition of our shares.

Pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 ("FIRPTA") and other guidance by the IRS liquidating distributions to the extent attributable to sales or exchanges of "U.S. real property interests" ("USRPIs") generally will be taxed to a non-U.S. stockholder (other than a qualified pension plan, entities wholly owned by a qualified pension plan and certain foreign publicly traded entities) as if such gain were effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. However, liquidating distributions will not be treated as effectively connected income if (a) the dividend is received with respect to a class of stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States and (b) the non-U.S. stockholder does not own more than 10% of the class of our stock at any time during the one- year period ending on the date the liquidating distribution is received.

Gain recognized by a non-U.S. stockholder upon the sale or exchange of our common stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless such stock constitutes a USRPI under FIRPTA. Our common stock will not constitute a USRPI so long as we are a "domestically-controlled qualified investment entity". A domestically-controlled qualified investment entity includes a REIT if at all times during a specified testing period, less than 50% in value of such REIT's stock is held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. stockholders. We believe, but cannot assure you, that we will be a domestically- controlled qualified investment entity.

Even if we do not qualify as a domestically-controlled qualified investment entity at the time a non-U.S. stockholder sells or exchanges our common stock, gain arising from such a sale or exchange would not be subject to U.S. taxation under FIRPTA as a sale of a USRPI if (a) our common stock is "regularly traded," as defined by applicable Treasury regulations, on an established securities market, and (b) such non-U.S. stockholder owned, actually and constructively, 10% or less of our common stock at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale.

Potential characterization of dividends or gain on sale may be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax- exempt investors.

If (a) we are a "pension-held REIT," (b) a tax-exempt stockholder has incurred (or is deemed to have incurred) debt to purchase or hold our common stock, or (c) a holder of common stock is a certain type of tax-exempt stockholder, dividends on, and gains recognized on the sale of, common stock by such tax-exempt stockholder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as unrelated business taxable income under the Code.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Our common stock is currently traded on the NYSE under the symbol "NYRT." Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock, based on the closing market price of the common stock and reinvested dividends, with the FTSE National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Equity Index and the New York Stock Exchange Index ("NYSE Index") for the period commencing April 15, 2014, the date on which we listed our shares on the NYSE and ending December 31, 2016. The graph assumes an investment of $100 on April 15, 2014.

For each calendar quarter indicated, the following table reflects high and low sales prices for the common stock as reported by the NYSE and the amounts paid to our stockholders in respect of these shares to which we refer as "dividends."

(1) Represents regular dividend paid with respect to October 2016. In October 2016, we suspended payment of our regular dividend commencing with the month of November 2016. During the implementation of the Liquidation Plan, we will not resume paying monthly dividends.

Holders

As of January 31, 2017, we had 167.9 million shares of common stock outstanding held by a total of 777 stockholders of record.

Table of Contents

Dividends

We have elected to qualify as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. The amount actually paid to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of funds available, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT under the Code.

From December 2010 to April 2014, our board of directors approved and we declared and paid monthly dividends at an annualized rate equal to $0.605 per share of common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the applicable period at a per share rate of $0.0016575342 per day. In April 2014, our board of directors approved a change in this rate and we began paying monthly dividends at an annualized rate equal to $0.46 per share of common stock, beginning with the April 2014 payment. In October 2016, we announced that our board of directors had determined that we would not pay a regular dividend for the months of November and December 2016 in anticipation of the Liquidation Plan. Due to the approval of the Liquidation Plan by our stockholders, we thereafter expect to make periodic liquidating distributions out of net proceeds from asset sales, subject to satisfying our liabilities and obligations, in lieu of regular monthly dividends.

The following table details, from a U.S. federal income tax perspective, the portion of amounts paid to stockholders treated as a return of capital and capital gain dividends per share per annum for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2016				2015
Return of capital	$	0.34	89.7	%	$	0.45	98.0	%
Capital gain dividends	0.04		10.3	%	0.01		2.0	%
Total	$	0.38	100.0	%	$	0.46	100.0	%

The following table includes dividends and distributions reinvested in shares of common stock through our previously effective distribution reinvestment plan as well as dividends and distributions on unvested shares of restricted common stock ("restricted shares") awarded under our employee and director incentive restricted share plan (the “RSP”), LTIP units, OP units and Class B units, during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Stock Option Plan

We have adopted a stock option plan to provide incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, including the Advisor, Property Manager and their respective affiliates, as well as personnel of the Advisor, Property Manager and affiliates, and any of our joint venture affiliates. Our board of directors has delegated its administrative responsibilities under the stock option plan to our compensation committee. In this capacity, our compensation committee has the full authority to: (1) administer and interpret the stock option plan; (2) authorize the granting of awards; (3) determine the eligibility of directors, officers, advisors, consultants and other personnel, including the Advisor, Property Manager and affiliates, as well as personnel of the Advisor, Property Manager and affiliates, and any of our joint venture affiliates, to receive an award; (4) determine the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award (subject to the individual participant limitations provided in the stock option plan); (5) determine the terms, provisions and conditions of each award (which may not be inconsistent with the terms of the stock option plan); (6) prescribe the form of instruments evidencing such awards; and (7) take any other actions and make all other determinations that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the stock option plan or the administration or interpretation thereof; however, neither the compensation committee nor the board of directors may take any action under our stock option plan that would result in a repricing of any stock option without having first obtained the affirmative vote of our stockholders. In connection with this authority, our board or directors or our compensation committee may, among other things, establish performance goals that must be met in order for awards to be granted or to vest, or for the restrictions on any such awards to lapse. The total number of shares that may be made subject to awards under our stock option is 500,000 shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events).

No awards under our stock option plan have been made.

Table of Contents

Restricted Share Plan

The RSP provides for the issuance of restricted shares, including to our non-executive directors. Our board of directors has delegated its administrative responsibilities under the RSP to our compensation committee. In this capacity, our compensation committee has the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to our directors, officers and employees (if we ever have employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to us, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to us, certain of our consultants and certain consultants to the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to us. Our compensation committee also has the ability in this capacity to determine which form the awards will take and the terms and conditions of the awards.

As of December 31, 2016, there were 268,780 unvested restricted shares of common stock outstanding under the RSP. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until the restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares are entitled to receive cash distributions prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any distributions payable in shares of common stock will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.

The vesting terms of awards under the RSP are as described in the relevant award agreement.

Communications with the Board of Directors

All interested parties (including our stockholders) may communicate with our board of directors by sending written communications addressed to such person or persons in care of New York REIT, Inc., 405 Park Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Nicholas Radesca, Interim Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary.

Item 7. 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 financial statements. The following information contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Please see "Forward-Looking Statements" elsewhere in this report for a description of these risks and uncertainties.

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. These significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies include:

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Because many of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, GAAP requires us to record a receivable, and include in revenues on a straight-line basis, unbilled rent receivables that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. We defer the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When we acquire a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation.

Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. For the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, we evaluate whether we own or the tenant owns the tenant improvements. If we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such improvements are substantially complete. When we conclude that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space.

If we conclude that we are the owner of tenant improvements, we capitalize the cost to construct the tenant improvements, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants. If we conclude that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred leasing costs, net on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Table of Contents

We continually review receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, we will record an increase in our allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

We own certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant's sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, we defer the recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. If we own certain properties with leases that include these provisions, contingent rental income will be included in rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.

Our hotel revenues are recognized as earned and are derived from room rentals and other sources such as charges to guests for telephone service, movie and vending commissions, meeting and banquet room revenue and laundry services.

Investments in Real Estate

We evaluate the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets.

In business combinations, we allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities and non-controlling interests based on their respective estimated fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements. Intangible assets or liabilities may include the value of in-place leases, above- and below-market leases and other identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of above- or below-market leases is recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and our estimate of the comparable fair market lease rate, measured over the remaining term of the lease. The fair value of other intangible assets, such as real estate tax abatements, are recorded based on the present value of the expected benefit and amortized over the expected useful life including any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Fair values of assumed mortgages, if applicable, are recorded as debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above- or below-market interest rates.

Non-controlling interests in property owning entities are recorded based on the fair value of units issued at the date of acquisition, as determined by the terms of the applicable agreement.

We utilize a number of sources in making our estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms. We also consider information and other factors including: market conditions, the industry in which the tenant operates, characteristics of the real estate such as location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates, tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business.

Disposals of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented; otherwise, we continue to report the results of these properties' operations within continuing operations. Properties that are intended to be sold will be designated as "held for sale" on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs for all periods presented when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five to seven years for fixtures and improvements, and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

Acquired above-market leases are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Acquired below-market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

Acquired above-market ground leases are amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Acquired below-market ground leases are amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining term of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option period.

The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above- and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.

Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts, if applicable, are amortized as a reduction or increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, we review the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If such estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is based on the adjustment to estimated fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. Generally, we determine estimated fair value for properties held for sale based on the agreed-upon selling price of an asset. These assessments may result in the immediate recognition of an impairment loss, resulting in an increase in net loss.

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative financial instruments to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a portion of our borrowings. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.

We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.

We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of our risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting. If we designate a qualifying derivative as a hedge, changes in the value of the derivative are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge, or if we elect not to apply hedge accounting, changes in the value of the derivative are reflected in other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised guidance relating to revenue recognition. Under the revised guidance, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance was to become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was not permitted under GAAP. The revised guidance allows entities to apply the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the revised guidance by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although entities will be allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. We are evaluating the impact of the implementation of this guidance, including performing a preliminary review of all revenue streams to identify any differences in the timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition. We are continuing to evaluate the allowable methods of adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update that amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Among other things, it also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted for most of the amendments in the update.We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new guidance requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The revised guidance supersedes previous leasing standards and is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this new guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires restricted cash to be included in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts. Therefore, transfers between cash and restricted cash will no longer be shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that revises the definition of a business. This new guidance is applicable when evaluating whether an acquisition should be treated as either a business acquisition or an asset acquisition. Under the revised guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not be considered a business. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the amendments will be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted only for transactions that have not previously been reported in issued financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance relating to disclosure of uncertainties about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, the guidance requires management to disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand the conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, management's evaluation of the significance of the conditions or events that led to the doubt, the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and management's plans that are intended to mitigate or that have mitigated the conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. There is no disclosure required unless there are conditions or events that have raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter. We adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, due to the approval of the Liquidation Plan by our stockholders, we anticipate that the provisions of this guidance will no longer apply upon implementation of the Liquidation Plan.

In February 2015, the FASB amended the accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. The amendments modify the evaluation of whether certain legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs (particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships). The revised guidance is effective for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. We have evaluated the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and have determined the OP is considered to be a VIE and continues to consolidate the OP as required under previous GAAP. However, we meet the disclosure exemption criteria as we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE and our partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest in a business and the assets of the OP can be used for purposes other than settling its obligations, such as paying distributions. Also as a result of the new guidance, we have also determined that Worldwide Plaza is a VIE, but we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore continue to not consolidate the entity. As such, the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB amended the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and that the entity apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. In August 2015, the FASB added that, for line of credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line, regardless of whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings. The revised guidance is effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. As a result of adoption of the new guidance, we reclassified deferred financing costs, net related to mortgage notes payable as a reduction of the carrying amount of mortgage notes payable.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based compensation. Among other things, the revised guidance allows companies to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We have adopted the provisions of this guidance beginning January 1, 2016 and determined that there is no impact to our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our policy is to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Results of Operations

Occupancy and Leasing

As of December 31, 2016, our combined portfolio, including Worldwide Plaza, was 93.4% leased, compared to 95.2% as of December 31, 2015. The decrease in occupancy was primarily due to lease expirations at 1440 Broadway during the year ended December 31, 2016. Occupancy is inclusive of leases signed but not yet commenced, and therefore increases in occupancy may not result in changes in revenues and expenses immediately upon the signing of a new lease. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies for accounting policies relating to revenue recognition.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we signed new leases at 229 West 36th Street, 256 West 38th Street and 416 Washington Street bringing these properties to 100% occupancy. We also re-leased our expiring spaces during the year ended December 31, 2016 at increases per square foot of 31% and 46% on a cash and straight-line basis, respectively, over prior rent. We continue to market the remaining vacant space in our portfolio. We do not have plans for significant new leasing activity during the Liquidation Plan.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2016 to Year Ended December 31, 2015

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net loss attributable to stockholders was $82.5 million compared to $39.1 million and $93.0 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The increase in net loss of $43.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to lower revenue due to vacancy at 1440 Broadway, impairment charges of $27.9 million recognized on the Viceroy Hotel and higher interest expense due to increases in total debt outstanding.

As of December 31, 2016, we owned 19 properties. Between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016, we sold four properties, one in 2015 (our "2015 Disposition") and three in 2016 (our "2016 Dispositions" and, together with our 2015 Disposition, our "Dispositions"). Additionally, our preferred equity investment in 123 William Street ("123 William Street") was redeemed in March 2015. We consider properties that have been owned for the entire current and prior periods to be our same store properties. Our "2016 Same Store" excludes the activity related to our Dispositions and 123 William Street.

Rental Income

Rental income decreased $9.5 million to $119.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, from $129.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in rental income was primarily driven by a decrease in occupancy at 1440 Broadway due to the expiration of large tenant leases in the fourth quarter 2015 and second quarter 2016. Only a portion of this vacant space was subsequently re-leased. This decrease in occupancy at 1440 Broadway contributed to a decrease in rental income of $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This decrease was offset slightly by increases in rental income at 229 West 36th Street and 245-249 W. 17th Street thereby resulting in a net decrease in our 2016 Same Store revenue of $5.8 million. The decrease in rental revenue associated with our Dispositions was $3.7 million.

Operating Expense Reimbursements and Other Revenue

Operating expense reimbursements and other revenue decreased $5.2 million to $14.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to a $5.0 million decline in operating expense reimbursements related to 1440 Broadway and an additional $0.4 million decrease due to Our Dispositions.

Pursuant to many of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay their pro rata share of certain property operating expenses, in addition to base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. Therefore, operating expense reimbursements are directly affected by changes in property operating expenses.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses decreased $0.2 million to $43.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, from $43.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in property operating expenses primarily related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance and security expenses associated with our Dispositions, which resulted in a decrease of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This decrease was offset by an increase of $0.6 million in our 2016 Same Store property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Hotel Operations

Hotel revenues increased $0.4 million to $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, from $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Hotel operating expenses increased $1.4 million to $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, from $25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in hotel revenues and hotel operating expenses related primarily to increased average occupancy at the Viceroy Hotel of 85.3% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 80.5% during the year ended December 31, 2015 as well as revenue per available room (commonly referred to in the hotel industry as "RevPAR") of $278.08 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $276.70 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in expenses were primarily related to room expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses specific to the Viceroy Hotel.

Operating Fees Incurred from the Advisor

Operating fees incurred from the Advisor were $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Operating fees incurred from the Advisor represent asset management fees earned by the Advisor and property management fees earned by the Property Manager. This increase is primarily due to the Property Manager no longer waiving property management fee beginning during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our Property Manager is entitled to fees for the management of our properties. Property management fees increase in direct correlation with gross revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Property Manager began charging property management fees pursuant to the Property Management Agreement, which were paid in cash. Our Property Manager elected to waive these fees for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and we would have incurred property management fees of $1.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, had the fees not been waived during those periods.

Acquisition and Transaction Related Expenses

Acquisition and transaction related expenses of $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily related to our exploration of strategic alternatives and our entering into and terminating the master combination agreement we entered into with affiliates of The JBG Companies in May 2016 (the "JBG Combination Agreement"), which was subsequently terminated in August 2016. Acquisition and transaction related expenses of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily related to the debt refinancing transactions which we entered into during the third quarter 2015, litigation at Worldwide Plaza and professional fees incurred related to the exploration of a possible strategic transaction.

Impairment Loss on Real Estate Asset Investments

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized impairment charges of $27.9 million on the Viceroy Hotel. As a result of the approval of the Liquidation Plan by our board of directors in August 2016, we reconsidered our intended holding period for all of our operating properties and evaluated the impact on our ability to recover the carrying value of such properties based on the expected cash flows over our intended holding period. As a result, we determined the carrying value of the Viceroy Hotel exceeded its estimated fair value resulting in an impairment charge which was recorded during the third quarter 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized impairment charges of $0.9 million with the classification of Duane Reade as held for sale. The impairment charge is included in gain on sale of real estate investment, net within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2015.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $14.5 million to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Total equity-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2016 was income of $1.9 million as compared to expense of $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, largely related to the decrease in the fair value of the OPP. The valuation of our OPP is largely dependent on the trading price of shares of our common stock in the absolute sense and relative to the share prices of our peer group. Our equity-based compensation expenses tend to be volatile because we are required under GAAP to remeasure the OPP quarterly. See Note 16 — Share-Based Compensation to the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Equity-based compensation expenses, which are not settled in cash, contributed $1.9 million to the overall decrease in general and administrative expenses, and was partially offset by an increase of $2.3 million in other cash-settled general and administrative expenses totaling $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The main drivers of the increase in cash-settled general and administrative expenses primarily related to our exploration of strategic alternatives and other corporate and stockholder matters along with an increase in general and administrative expense reimbursements to the Advisor, which began requesting such reimbursements during the third quarter of 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we made $2.7 million in general and administrative expense reimbursements to the Advisor.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $13.8 million to $69.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $82.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease primarily relates to $12.0 million of lower depreciation and amortization expense in our 2016 Same Store as a result of a decline of in-place lease and tenant improvements values related to lease expirations and lease terminations at 256 W. 38th Street and 1440 Broadway. The remaining decrease of $2.1 million was due to our Dispositions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $10.8 million to $40.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in interest expense associated with indebtedness incurred with respect to our 2016 Same Store and under our Credit Facility was $11.2 million, offset by decreases of $0.4 million in interest expense due to our Dispositions. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we entered into the POL Loans, which increased our indebtedness by $275.0 million, and we repaid in full our Credit Facility using proceeds from the POL Loans. In the third quarter of 2015, we entered into several financing transactions impacting our 2016 Same Store, including the issuance of a mortgage note payable secured by our property located at 1440 Broadway, as well as the settlement through early repayment or legal defeasance of six other mortgage notes payable before the scheduled maturity dates to allow for their inclusion in the borrowing base of our Credit Facility. As a result of these transactions, we incurred additional financing costs that are being amortized to interest expense over the respective maturity dates of the debt instruments to which they are allocated.

Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Joint Venture

Income from unconsolidated joint venture was $2.7 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The income from unconsolidated joint venture represents our preferred distribution, net of our pro rata share of the net income or loss of Worldwide Plaza and the amortization of the difference in basis between our investment and the book value of Worldwide Plaza's net assets. Income from unconsolidated joint venture increased in large part due to rent escalation provisions in several large leases that became effective during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Income from Preferred Equity Investment, Investment Securities and Interest

Income from preferred equity investment, investment securities and interest decreased $1.1 million to approximately $26,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The primary driver for the decrease was the loss of income from our preferred equity investment in 123 William Street after it was redeemed in March 2015.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investment, Net

Gain on sale of real estate investment, net of $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 related primarily to the gain we recognized on the sale of our 2016 Dispositions. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized gain on sale of real estate investment, net of $7.5 million related primarily to the gain we recognized on the sale of our 2015 Disposition partially offset by an impairment charge on Duane Reade of $0.9 million, recognized as a result of reclassifying the assets of that property to held-for-sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments

Loss on derivative instruments of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 is primarily related to mark-to-market adjustments on our 1440 Broadway interest rate caps, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. We recognized $0.6 million of loss on derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

The net loss attributable to non-controlling interests during the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million in net loss attributable to non-controlling is primarily related to 3,336,430 OP units and 1,172,738 LTIP units redeemed for or converted into common stock during 2016 which reduced the amount of non-controlling interest outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2015 to Year Ended December 31, 2014

As of December 31, 2015, we owned 22 properties. Between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015, we acquired one property, 245-249 West 17th Street (our "2014 Acquisition") and sold one property, 163 Washington Avenue (our "2015 Disposition"). Additionally, our preferred equity investment in 123 William Street was redeemed in March 2015. We consider properties that have been owned for the entire period between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015 to be our same store properties. Our "2015 Same Store" excludes the activity related to our 2014 Acquisition, our 2015 Disposition and 123 William Street.

Rental Income

Rental income increased $11.9 million to $129.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $117.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in rental income was primarily driven by our 2014 Acquisition, which resulted in an increase in rental income of $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. We experienced a net decrease in rental income at our 2015 Same Store of $3.2 million primarily related to lease modifications and terminations at 229 W. 36th Street, 256 W. 38th Street and 1440 Broadway as well as a reduction in rental income related to a fully amortized below-market lease at 333 W. 34th Street. The net decrease in our 2015 Same Store was partially offset by increased rental revenue at 50 Varick Street, due to a lease modification, and 218 W. 18th Street and the Design Center due to lease commencements. The decrease in rental revenue associated with our 2015 Disposition was $0.4 million.

Operating Expense Reimbursements and Other Revenue

Operating expense reimbursements and other revenue increased $3.7 million to $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to $1.4 million in operating expense reimbursements related to our 2014 Acquisition and higher recoveries of $2.3 million in our 2015 Same Store due to lease commencements. The increase also related to a fee paid by a tenant upon the expiration of its lease at 1440 Broadway in lieu of restoring the space to its original condition prior to vacating.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses increased $6.6 million to $43.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $37.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in property operating expenses primarily related to real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance and security associated with our 2014 Acquisition, which resulted in an increase of $3.3 million in property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015. Property operating expenses increased $2.7 million in our 2015 Same Store for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily related to increased real estate taxes, utilities, security and maintenance expenses. Property operating expenses also increased year over year because the Advisor did not absorb any expenses during the year ended December 31, 2015. During the prior year, the Advisor absorbed $0.6 million. The increase in property operating expenses was partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease related to our 2015 Disposition.

Hotel Revenue and Operating Expenses

Hotel revenues increased $3.4 million to $26.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Hotel operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in hotel revenues and hotel operating expenses related primarily to increased average occupancy at the Viceroy Hotel of 80.5% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 68.8% during the year ended December 31, 2014 as well as revenue per available room (commonly referred to in the hotel industry as "RevPAR") of $276.70 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $241.39 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Operating Fees Incurred from the Advisor

Operating fees incurred from the Advisor were $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Operating fees incurred from the Advisor represent asset management fees earned by the Advisor. Prior to the Listing, we issued to the Advisor restricted performance based Class B units for prior asset management services, which vested as of the Listing. As such, the increase was related to paying asset management fees in cash for a full year.

Our Property Manager is entitled to fees for the management of our properties. Property management fees increase in direct correlation with gross revenues. Our Property Manager elected to waive these fees for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we would have incurred property management fees of $2.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, had these fees not been waived.

Acquisition and Transaction Related Expenses

Acquisition and transaction related expenses of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily related to the debt refinancing transactions which we entered into during the third quarter 2015, litigation at Worldwide Plaza and professional fees incurred related to the exploration of a possible strategic transaction. Acquisition and transaction related expenses of $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 included $4.4 million in acquisition fees and expense reimbursements for the purchase of our 2014 Acquisition as well as costs associated with our Listing.

Vesting of Asset Management Fees

Vesting of asset management fees expense of $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to the vesting of Class B units previously issued to the Advisor for asset management services. The performance condition related to these Class B units was satisfied upon completion of the Listing, as such this expense did not recur for the year ended December 31, 2015. On April 15, 2014, the Class B units were converted to OP units on a one-to-one basis.

Value of Listing Note

Value of Listing Note (as defined in Note 9 — Subordinated Listing Distribution to our consolidated financial statements expense of $33.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 represents the final value of the Listing Note, which was determined and fully expensed in the fourth quarter of 2014. As such, this expense did not recur for the year ended December 31, 2015.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $15.0 million to $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Equity-based compensation expenses, which are not settled in cash, contributed a large portion of the year-over-year increase in total general and administrative expenses. These expenses increased $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the prior year, due to a full year of amortization of the fair value of the OPP and a higher year-over-year fair value of the OPP, which was adopted in conjunction with the Listing. The valuation of our OPP is largely dependent on the trading price of shares of our common stock in the absolute sense and relative to the share prices of our peer group. Because we are required under GAAP to remeasure the OPP quarterly, our equity-based compensation expenses tend to be volatile. See Note 16 — Share-Based Compensation to the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The increase in remaining general and administrative expenses, which are settled in cash, was largely associated with a $5.5 million increase in legal and professional fees primarily related to the audit of our 2014 financial statements being recognized in full during 2015 due to our change of auditors in February 2015, the engagement of internal auditors and the recognition of expenses incurred relating to the audit of our 2015 financial statements. Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2015, the Advisor began requesting reimbursement for general and administrative expenses, which amounted to $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2015. The Advisor elected to absorb $1.4 million of general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014, which did not recur for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increases in other general and administrative expenses were partially offset by decreases in transfer agent and proxy costs of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 as a result of the Advisor renegotiating their service contracts.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.1 million to $82.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $84.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related primarily to a decrease of $7.3 million in depreciation and amortization expense in our 2015 Same Store primarily related to lease modifications and terminations at 229 W. 36th Street, 333 W. 34th Street and 1440 Broadway as well as $0.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense related to our 2015 Disposition. These decreases were partially offset by $5.7 million in depreciation and amortization expense related to our 2014 Acquisition.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $5.7 million to $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in interest expense is partially related to a higher weighted average Credit Facility balance outstanding of $597.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $439.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. In the third quarter of 2015, we entered into several financing transactions, including the issuance of a mortgage note payable secured by our property located at 1440 Broadway, which contributed $3.4 million to the increase in interest expense. In connection with these third quarter financing transactions, we also repaid four mortgage notes payable and settled through legal defeasance two mortgage notes payable before the scheduled maturity dates to allow for their inclusion in the borrowing base of our Credit Facility and accelerated $1.1 million of expense for the write-off of financing costs related to those mortgages. Additionally, financing costs incurred of $4.0 million and $6.5 million, relating to the Credit Facility and the 1440 Broadway mortgage, respectively, were deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the respective maturity dates of the debt instruments to which they are allocated.

Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Joint Venture

Income (loss) from unconsolidated joint venture was $1.9 million of income for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $1.5 million of loss for the year ended December 31, 2014, which represents our preferred distribution, net of our pro rata share of the net income or loss of Worldwide Plaza and the amortization of the difference in basis between our investment and the book value of Worldwide Plaza's net assets. Income from unconsolidated joint venture increased in part due to increasing occupancy at Worldwide Plaza to 100.0% as of December 31, 2015 from 93.3% as of December 31, 2014 and 91.2% as of October 31, 2013, the date we acquired our interest in Worldwide Plaza.

Income from Preferred Equity Investment, Investment Securities and Interest

Income from preferred equity investment, investment securities and interest decreased $1.8 million to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The primary driver for the decrease was a decline in income related to our preferred equity investment in 123 William Street, which was redeemed in March 2015, of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decline was partially offset by a gain on the sale of investment securities of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investment, Net

Gain on sale of real estate investment, net of $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 related primarily to the gain we recognized on the sale of our 2015 Disposition of $8.4 million partially offset by an impairment charge on Duane Reade of $0.9 million, recognized as a result of reclassifying the assets of that property to held-for-sale at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments

Loss on derivative instruments of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 related primarily to missed forecast derivative losses recognized upon the early repayment of the mortgages securing One Jackson Square and 229 West 36th Street and the resulting cancellation of the interest rate swaps on those mortgages. Mark-to-market adjustments on our 1440 Broadway interest rate caps, which do not qualify for hedge accounting, further contributed to the loss on derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2015. We recognized approximately $1,000 of gain on derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

The net loss attributable to non-controlling interests during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million in net loss attributable to non-controlling is primarily related to our 2015 Disposition and the repayment of our partner in that property as well as lower allocable net loss.

Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, 2016

For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million, which represents a decrease of $41.1 million from the $37.7 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily the result of lower revenue due to our 2016 Dispositions and decreased occupancy at 1440 Broadway, higher acquisition and transaction costs primarily related to our exploration of strategic alternatives and our entering into and terminating the JBG Combination Agreement along with higher interest expense due to our financing transactions executed at the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 and third quarter of 2015.

The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of interest payments and the amount of borrowings outstanding during the period, as well as the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses. Net loss of $83.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 was adjusted for depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, equity-based compensation, gains on sale of real estate investments and other non-cash charges of $88.0 million, which resulted in cash inflows from operations of $4.1 million. Net cash used in operating activities also reflected an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.3 million, an increase in accrued unbilled ground rent of $2.7 million, which results from recording rental expenses on a straight-line basis and an increase in deferred rent of $0.9 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by a decrease in unbilled rent receivables of $9.9 million recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $4.0 million and a decrease in tenant and other receivables of $0.6 million,

Net cash provided by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2016 of $40.7 million primarily related to our 2016 Dispositions and distributions received from our investment in Worldwide Plaza of $27.5 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by capital expenditures for building and tenant improvements of $22.3 million primarily related to 50 Varick Street and 1440 Broadway.

Net cash used in financing activities of $90.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily related to the repayment of our Credit Facility of $485.0 million, dividends to common stockholders of $63.3 million, regularly scheduled principal payments on mortgage notes payable as well as full repayments of three mortgage notes payable of $19.2 million, payments of financing costs of $19.0 million, primarily related to the POL Loans, payments of $0.7 million to secure interest rate caps for our Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan, decreases to restricted cash of $1.0 million, distributions to non-controlling interest holders of $1.9 million and payment of $0.2 million for income taxes related to restricted shares that vested during the period. These cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from our Mortgage Loan of $500.0 million secured by the POL Loan Properties.

Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, 2015

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $37.7 million, which represents an increase of $31.2 million over the $6.5 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily a result of strong leasing activity throughout the year ended December 31, 2015 and contractual rent escalations within our existing leases. The increase in cash provided by operating activities also related to a lower amount of prepaid expenses and other assets as well as accounts payable and accrued expenses that were relatively unchanged year-over-year, as opposed to the large cash outflow experienced in 2014 for the payment of prior year accrued capital expenditures (see below the discussion of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014).

The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of interest payments and the amount of borrowings outstanding during the period, as well as the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses. Notwithstanding a net loss of $40.3 million, net cash provided by operating activities included adjustments for depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, equity-based compensation and other non-cash charges of $88.0 million, which resulted in cash inflows of $47.7 million. Net cash provided by operating activities also reflected an increase in accrued ground rent of $3.2 million, which results from recording rental expenses on a straight-line basis, a decrease in tenant and other receivables of $1.0 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.3 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in unbilled rent receivables of $13.7 million recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis, a decrease in deferred rent of $0.7 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.1 million.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2015 of $61.9 million primarily related to our 2015 Disposition as well and the redemption of our preferred equity investment of $70.9 million, distributions received from our investment in Worldwide Plaza of $12.1 million, acquisition funds released from escrow of $4.7 million and proceeds from the sale of investment securities of $4.6 million. These cash inflows were partially offset by capital expenditures for building and tenant improvements of $30.3 million and the purchase of investment securities of $0.1 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of $23.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily related to repayments on our Credit Facility of $150.0 million, regularly scheduled principal payments on mortgage notes payable as well as full repayments of four mortgage notes payable and settlements through legal defeasance of two mortgage notes payable before the scheduled maturity dates of $88.8 million to facilitate including the underlying properties in the borrowing base of our Credit Facility in connection with a series of debt restructuring transactions we undertook at the end of the third quarter of 2015, dividends to common stockholders of $74.7 million, payments of financing costs of $10.8 million and payments of $0.5 million to secure interest rate caps for our mortgage notes payable on 1440 Broadway. Net cash used in financing activities also included $3.2 million of distributions to non-controlling interests such as OP unit and participating LTIP unit holders as well as the repayment of our non-controlling partner related to our 2015 Disposition. These cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from mortgage notes payable of $305.0 million secured by 1440 Broadway.

Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, 2014

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $6.5 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the volume of acquisition activity, the timing of interest payments and the amount of borrowings outstanding during the period, as well as the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses. Cash flows provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 included $16.1 million of transaction costs relating to the Listing and the acquisition of 245-249 West 17th Street. Cash flows provided by operating activities included a net loss adjusted for non-cash items, resulting in a cash inflow of $43.4 million (net loss of $94.3 million adjusted for depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets and other non-cash charges of $137.7 million) and an increase in accrued ground rent of $4.3 million, which resulted from recording rental expenses on a straight-line basis. These cash inflows were partially offset by an increase in unbilled rent receivables of $19.6 million recorded in accordance with accounting for rental income on a straight-line basis, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $8.7 million, primarily due to payments of prior year accrued tenant improvements at our 50 Varick Street property and fees paid to our Former Dealer Manager for services rendered in 2013 related to exploring our liquidity event, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $6.6 million, primarily due to prepaid real estate taxes, insurance and deferred leasing costs, a decrease in deferred rent of $3.4 million and an increase in tenant and other receivables of $2.8 million, primarily due to amounts related to our preferred equity investment and other tenant receivables.

Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 of $327.8 million primarily related to $316.2 million for the acquisition of 245-249 W 17th Street, acquisition funds held in escrow of $4.7 million, $11.8 million of capital expenditures and $3.1 million in purchases of additional investment securities. These cash outflows were partially offset by distributions from our unconsolidated joint venture in Worldwide Plaza of $8.0 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $110.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 primarily related to proceeds from our line of credit of $330.0 million, proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $11.3 million and a $0.8 million contribution from the Advisor for OP units. These inflows were partially offset by the Tender Offer (as defined in Note 14 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements) and other repurchases of common stock, including associated fees and expenses of $154.3 million, dividends to stockholders of $66.1 million, deferred financing costs paid of $7.3 million to expand our Credit Facility, offering costs paid of $1.5 million, $0.8 million of distributions to OP unit holders, redemption of OP units of $0.7 million, principal payments related to mortgage notes payable of $0.5 million and increases to restricted cash of $0.5 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This section includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations, Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, Net Operating Income, Cash Net Operating Income and Adjusted Cash Net Operating Income. A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss), is provided below.

Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure but is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

Table of Contents

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards set forth in the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, but excluding gains or losses from sales of property and real estate related impairments, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time, especially if not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances or as requested or required by lessees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate requires us to depreciate or amortize our assets in accordance with GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, among other things, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income (loss). However, FFO, core funds from operations ("Core FFO") and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. In calculating FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do or calculate Core FFO or AFFO differently than we do. Consequently, our presentation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs.

We consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO useful indicators of our performance. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs in our peer group.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, instead of capitalized.

Core FFO is FFO, excluding transaction related costs and other items that are considered to be not comparable from period to period, such as gains on sales of securities and investments, miscellaneous revenue, such as lease termination fees and insurance proceeds, and expenses related to the early extinguishment of debt. Additionally, we exclude transaction related expenses, which are primarily comprised of expenses related to our strategic alternatives process, as these expenses are not the result of the operations of our properties. By excluding transaction related costs and other items that are considered to be not comparable from period to period, we believe Core FFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management's analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties.

Table of Contents

We exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider more reflective of investing activities, other income and expense items not settled in cash and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our business plan. These items include unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or losses on derivative instruments and gains or losses on contingent valuation rights. In addition, by excluding non-cash income and expense items such as equity-based compensation expenses, amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs and straight-line rent from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing performance. We also include second generation capital expenditures in our calculation of AFFO because these funds are paid in order to maintain the level of operating performance. By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance without the impacts of transactions that are not related to the ongoing profitability of our portfolio of properties. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. However, AFFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Investors are cautioned that AFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance excluding these activities, as it excludes certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred.

In calculating AFFO, we exclude certain expenses, which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. All paid and accrued merger, acquisition and transaction related fees and certain other expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which expenses are incurred will also have negative effects on returns to investors, but are not reflective of our ongoing performance. AFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to companies that did not have such activities. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating adjustments to net income. In addition, as discussed above, we view gains and losses from fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized and not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calculation of AFFO provides information consistent with management's analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information.

As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.

The table below reflects the items deducted from or added to net income in our calculation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO during the period presented. We have calculated our FFO, Core FFO and AFFO based on our net income (loss), which is before adjusting for the net loss attributable to our non-controlling interests, and all adjustments are made based on our gross adjustments, without excluding the portion of the adjustments attributable to our non-controlling interests, other than adjustments related to the unconsolidated joint venture.

Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Net Operating Income, Cash Net Operating Income and Adjusted Cash Net Operating Income.

We believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for transaction-related expenses, other non-cash items and including our pro rata share from unconsolidated joint ventures ("Adjusted EBITDA") is an appropriate measure of our ability to incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating activities. Other REITs may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs.

Net operating income ("NOI") is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, less discontinued operations, interest, other income and income from preferred equity investments and investments securities, plus corporate general and administrative expense, transaction-related expenses, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash expenses and interest expense. NOI is adjusted to include our pro rata share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash NOI is NOI presented on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-lining of rent and the amortization of above and below market leases. Adjusted Cash NOI is Cash NOI after eliminating the effects of free rent.

We use NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI internally as performance measures and believe NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI are useful measures for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets and to make decisions about resource allocations. Further, we believe NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI are useful to investors as performance measures because, when compared across periods, NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI reflect the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition activity on an unlevered basis. NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI exclude certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. For example, interest expense is not linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and Cash NOI is not affected by whether the financing is at the property level or corporate level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity.

The table below reflects the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI during the period presented. We have calculated our Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Cash NOI and Adjusted Cash NOI based on our net income, which is before adjusting for the net loss attributable to our non-controlling interests, and all adjustments are made based on our gross adjustments, without excluding the portion of the adjustments attributable to our non-controlling interests, other than adjustments related to the unconsolidated joint venture as noted in the table below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $45.5 million. On January 3, 2017, our stockholders approved the Liquidation Plan, and we became fully authorized to commence implementing it. The actual amounts and times of the liquidating distributions we make to our stockholders pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will be determined by our board of directors or, if a liquidating trust is formed, by the trustees of the liquidating trust, in their discretion. For more details on the provisions of the Liquidation Plan, see "Item 1. Business. - Liquidation Plan."

In the course of operating our business while implementing the Liquidation Plan, our principal demands for funds are to pay or fund operating expenses, capital expenditures, liquidating distributions to our stockholders, and principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness. We have met our demands for funds prior to the commencement of the implementation of the Liquidation Plan, which were similar in nature, primarily through cash flows from operations, secured borrowings, preferred distributions in respect of our interest in Worldwide Plaza and the sale or redemption of certain assets. Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, we will sell all our properties, which will be a primary source of capital for many of our funding needs, particularly with respect to liquidating distributions we make to our stockholders. Other future sources of capital could include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings and undistributed funds from operations (if any). 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 is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs, including general and administrative expenses and transaction costs and other expenses associated with selling all or substantially all of our assets pursuant to the Liquidation Plan.

POL Loans

On December 20, 2016, we entered into the POL Loans, comprising of the Mortgage Loan in the principal amount of $500.0 million and the Mezzanine Loan in the principal amount of $260.0 million. Borrowings under the Mortgage Loan are secured by a mortgage on the POL Loan Properties.

At the closing of the POL Loans, a portion of the net proceeds after closing costs was used to repay the $485.0 million principal amount then outstanding under our Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2016, the $260.0 million proceeds from the Mezzanine Loan was held in an escrow account by the servicer of the POL Loans and was considered a receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. Subsequently, on January 10, 2017, the $260.0 million proceeds were deposited into an operating account that may be used by us to purchase the additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza in connection with our exercise of the WWP Option.

Other Sources of Funds

In the fourth quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, we sold four of our five non-core assets not located in Manhattan: 163 Washington Avenue for $37.7 million, Duane Reade for $12.6 million, 1623 Kings Highway for $17.0 million and Foot Locker for $8.4 million. In connection with the sale of Duane Reade, 1623 Kings Highway and Footlocker, we repaid $18.9 million in outstanding mortgage notes payable.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we received $27.5 million in preferred distributions from our investments in Worldwide Plaza. We expect to continue to receive cash distributions in respect of our interest in Worldwide Plaza in accordance with our investment agreement.

On September 30, 2015, we obtained a mortgage note payable of up to $325.0 million, secured by our property located at 1440 Broadway. As of December 31, 2016, the mortgage note payable outstanding was $305.0 million, and up to $20.0 million is available in the future as additional advances, subject to customary funding conditions to pay, among other things, for certain tenant allowances, capital expenditures and leasing costs that have been approved by the lender.

Principal Use of Funds

Strategic Process and Transaction Costs

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred $19.7 million of transaction costs, which were primarily related to our strategic alternatives process, including the expense reimbursement payment we made to JBG in connection with terminating the JBG Combination Agreement. We may incur additional transaction costs relating to the Liquidation Plan in the future. We intend to fund transaction costs primarily with cash on hand and cash flows from operations.

Table of Contents

Capital Expenditures

As of December 31, 2016, we owned 19 properties. In connection with the leasing of our properties, we have entered into and will continue to enter into agreements with our tenants to provide allowances for tenant improvements. These allowances require us to fund capital expenditures up to amounts specified in our lease agreements. We intend to fund tenant improvement allowances with cash on hand and future borrowings and cash flows from operations. We funded $22.3 million in capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2016, which was funded primarily from cash on hand. The Company expects capital expenditures incurred during the next year, while the Company is executing its Liquidation Plan, to be significantly less than the amount incurred during the year ended December 31, 2016, as only necessary capital expenditures will be made.

Worldwide Plaza Option

We are generally not permitted to engage in any business activities while implementing the Liquidation Plan, except to exercise the WWP Option to purchase additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza, pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement. The purchase price required to exercise the WWP Option under its terms equals the product of the percentage interest being acquired and the agreed-upon property value of approximately $1.4 billion (subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for any of our preferred return in arrears) minus the principal balance of the outstanding mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property, which was $875.0 million as of December 31, 2016.

Dividends

From April 2014 through October 2016, our board of directors authorized, and we declared, a monthly dividend at an annualized rate equal to $0.46 per share per annum. Dividends were paid to stockholders of record on the close of business on the 8th day of each month, payable on the 15th day of such month. In October 2016, we announced that our board of directors had determined that we would not pay a regular dividend for the months of November and December 2016 in anticipation of the Liquidation Plan. Due to the approval of the Liquidation Plan by our stockholders on January 3, 2017, we expect to make periodic liquidating distributions out of net proceeds from asset sales, subject to satisfying our liabilities and obligations, in lieu of regular monthly dividends. The timing and amount of liquidating distributions may be affected by the factors described in Item 1A, including the requirement in the loan agreements relating to Worldwide Plaza that we have a minimum value of real estate assets controlled (through ownership or management) of $2.0 billion (exclusive of our interest in the Worldwide Plaza property and cash), which could delay the timing of asset sales, and covenants in our loan agreements. For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, portions of the amounts paid to our stockholders may be a return of capital and not a return on a stockholder's investment. See "Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Dividends" for further details.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, dividends paid totaled $65.2 million, inclusive of $1.9 million of distributions paid on OP units and participating LTIP units. During the year ended December 31, 2016, cash used to pay our dividends was primarily generated from cash flows provided by operations, cash on hand and distributions in respect of our interest in Worldwide Plaza.

We are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains.

Loan Obligations

As of December 31, 2016, we had consolidated mortgage notes payable of $1.1 billion, excluding $427.9 million of unconsolidated mortgage debt reflecting our pro rata share of Worldwide Plaza's total mortgage debt of $875.0 million. As of December 31, 2016, the consolidated mortgage notes payable had a weighted average interest rate of 4.2% and our pro rata share of unconsolidated mortgage debt relating to Worldwide Plaza had a weighted average interest rate of 4.6%.

The payment terms of our mortgage loan obligations require principal and interest amounts payable monthly. Some of our mortgage note agreements require compliance with certain property-level financial covenants including debt service coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under its mortgage note agreements.

Election as a REIT

We elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT. In order to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT we must, among other things, distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Inflation

Many of our 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. In addition, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

See Note 14 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

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.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our mortgage debt, which consists of secured financings, bears interest at fixed rates and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, caps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments.

As of December 31, 2016, our debt consisted of both fixed and variable-rate debt. We had fixed-rate secured mortgage notes payable with an aggregate carrying value of $64.1 million and a fair value of $66.1 million. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impact the fair value of the notes, but it has no impact on interest due on the notes. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our obligation to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed–rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their December 31, 2016 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $0.7 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $0.7 million.

As of December 31, 2016, our variable-rate debt had a carrying and fair value of $1.1 billion. Interest rate volatility associated with this variable-rate debt affects interest expense incurred and cash flow. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their December 31, 2016 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates on our variable-rate debt would increase or decrease our interest expense by $10.7 million annually.

These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates changes on our borrowing costs, and assuming no other changes in our capital structure. As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of December 31, 2016, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information represented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of such period, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act and as set forth below. Under Rule 13a-15(c), management must evaluate, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness, as of the end of each calendar year, of our internal control over financial reporting. The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:


1)	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;


2)	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and


3)	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In the course of preparing this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the consolidated financial statements included herein, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 using the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, was engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and their audit report is included on Page F-2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. KPMG LLP was also engaged to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 and issued an unqualified audit report regarding their assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting is included on page F-4 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

New York REIT, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New York REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule III. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New York REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), New York REIT Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 1, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 3, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the Liquidation Plan. Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, the Company expects to sell or transfer all of its assets, pay or provide for its liabilities and expenses, distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of its assets to its stockholders, wind up its operations and dissolve. Due to the approval of the Liquidation Plan, the Company expects to change its basis of accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting effective January 1, 2017.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

New York REIT, Inc.:

We have audited New York REIT Inc.’s (the Company’s) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of New York REIT Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, and the related financial statement schedule III, and our report dated March 1, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial statements schedule.

NEW YORK REIT, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014

Note 1 — Organization

New York REIT, Inc. (the "Company") is a New York City focused REIT that primarily owns income-producing commercial real estate. The Company 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 Company listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "NYRT" (the "Listing").

The Company purchased its first property and commenced active operations in June 2010. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned 19 properties, which aggregated 3.3 million rentable square feet, had an occupancy of 93.4% and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.9 years. The Company's portfolio primarily consists of office and retail properties, representing 83% and 9%, respectively, of rentable square feet as of December 31, 2016. The Company has acquired hotel and other types of real properties to add diversity to its portfolio. Properties other than office and retail spaces represented 8% of rentable square feet.

Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through its operating partnership, New York Recovery Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "OP"). The Company's only significant asset is the general partnership interests it owns in the OP and assets held by the Company for the use and benefit of the OP.

On August 22, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved a plan of liquidation to sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its OP and to liquidate and dissolve the Company and the OP (the "Liquidation Plan"), subject to stockholder approval. On January 3, 2017, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved the Liquidation Plan. Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, the Company expects to sell or transfer all of its assets, pay or provide for its liabilities and expenses, distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of its assets to its stockholders, wind up its operations and dissolve. The actual amounts and times of liquidating distributions to the Company's stockholders pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will be determined by the Company’s board of directors at its discretion. See Note 21 — Subsequent Events.

The Company has no employees. The Company retained New York Recovery Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") to manage its affairs on a day-to-day basis through the Transition Date (as defined below) pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Advisor (as amended to date, the “Advisory Agreement”). Until the Transition Date, New York Recovery Properties, LLC (the "Property Manager") serves as the Company's property manager, unless services are performed by a third party for specific properties. The Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, "AR Global").

In September 2016, the the Company’s board of directors issued a request for proposals for all interested, qualified parties to serve as its external advisor after December 26, 2016, which was then the expiration date of the Advisory Agreement. On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Winthrop REIT Advisors LLC (the “Service Provider”), and a series of other agreements with the Advisor and the Property Manager pursuant to which the Company: (i) entered into an amendment (the “Advisory Amendment”) to the Advisory Agreement to provide that the Advisor will not be responsible for implementing the Liquidation Plan and to extend the term to March 31, 2017, subject to five one-month extension options that may be exercised by the Company’s independent directors, provided that, following the later of February 28, 2017 and the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Advisory Agreement may be terminated upon three business days’ written notice from the Company’s independent directors, (ii) amended the Company’s agreement with the Property Manager (as so amended, the “Property Management Agreement”) so that it will terminate on the expiration or termination of the Advisory Agreement, and (iii) entered into the Services Agreement pursuant to which the Service Provider will serve as (x) the Company's exclusive advisor with respect to all matters primarily related to the Liquidation Plan (and as a consultant to the Company on other matters) during the period from January 3, 2017 through the Transition Date, and (y) as the Company's advisor from and after the Transition Date. The "Transition Date" will occur upon the earlier of (i) three business days after written notice from the Company's independent directors to the Advisor, following the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), but not earlier than March 3, 2017, and (ii) April 1, 2017.

Prior to the Transition Date, the Advisor will continue to provide all services related to the management of the Company’s day-to-day operations that are not related to the Liquidation Plan. Following the Transition Date, the Service Provider will be responsible for providing these services in addition to the services it has been providing since January 3, 2017 with respect to the Liquidation Plan. All services provided pursuant to the Services Agreement are subject to the supervision of the Company's board of directors.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). On January 3, 2017, the Company's stockholders approved the Liquidation Plan. Due to the stockholder approval of the Liquidation Plan, the Company expects to change its basis of accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting effective January 1, 2017. See Note 21 — Subsequent Events.

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 the consolidated joint venture arrangements not owned by the Company are presented as noncontrolling interests. 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 ventures. 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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, impairment loss and fair value of investments in real estate, derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, equity-based compensation expenses related to the 2014 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement (as amended to date, the "OPP") and fair value measurements, as applicable.

Investments in Real Estate

The Company evaluates the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets.

In business combinations, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities and non-controlling interests based on their respective estimated fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements. Intangible assets or liabilities may include the value of in-place leases, above- and below-market leases and other identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of above- or below-market leases and ground leases is recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the Company's estimate of the comparable fair market lease rate, measured over the remaining term of the lease, including any below market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. The fair value of other intangible assets, such as real estate tax abatements, are recorded based on the present value of the expected benefit and amortized over the expected useful life.

Non-controlling interests in property owning entities are recorded based on its fair value at the date of acquisition, as determined by the terms of the applicable agreement.

The Company utilizes a number of sources in making its estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms. The Company also considers information and other factors including: market conditions, the industry in which the tenant operates, characteristics of the real estate such as location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates, tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business.

Disposals of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented; otherwise, the Company continues to report the results of these properties' operations within continuing operations. Properties that are intended to be sold will be designated as "held for sale" on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. The Company did not have any properties held for sale as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had three properties held for sale. See Note 3 — Real Estate Investments.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five to seven years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.

Acquired above-market ground leases are amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Acquired below-market ground lease values are amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option period.

The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above- and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts, if applicable, are amortized as a reduction or increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the respective mortgages.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If such estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is based on the adjustment to estimated fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. Generally, the Company determines estimated fair value for properties held for sale based on the agreed-upon selling price of an asset. These assessments may result in the immediate recognition of an impairment loss, resulting in a reduction of net income (loss). The Company recognized impairment charges of $27.9 million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company was not required to recognize any impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Impairment of Equity Method Investments

The Company monitors the value of its equity method investments for indicators of impairment. An impairment charge is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of the investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary. The assessment of impairment is subjective and involves the application of significant assumptions and judgments about the Company's intent and ability to recover its investment given the nature and operations of the underlying investment. The Company was not required to recognize any impairment charges related to equity method investments during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2015, $0.2 million was held in money market funds with the Company's financial institutions. The Company had no funds held in money market funds as of December 31, 2016.

The Company deposits cash with high-quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (the "FDIC") up to an insurance limit. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had deposits of $45.5 million and $98.6 million, respectively, of which $44.5 million and $96.3 million, respectively, were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash primarily consists of maintenance, real estate tax, structural, and debt service reserves.

Investment Securities

The Company classifies its investments in debt or equity securities into one of three classes: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, as applicable. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purposes of selling them in the near future are classified as trading securities. Debt and equity securities not classified as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a component of equity within accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014

The Company evaluates its investments in securities for impairment or other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. The Company reviews each investment individually and assesses factors that may include (i) if the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its fair value, (ii) if there has been any change in the market as a whole or in the investee’s market, (iii) if there are any plans to sell the investment in question or if the Company believes it may be forced to sell its investment, and (iv) if there have been any other factors that would indicate the possibility of the existence of an other-than-temporary impairment. The fair value of the Company’s investments in available-for-sale securities generally rise and fall based on current market conditions. If, after reviewing relevant factors surrounding an impaired security, the Company determines that it will not recover its full investment in an impaired security, the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment charge in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which the other-than-temporary impairment is discovered, regardless of whether or not the Company plans to sell or believes it will be forced to sell the security in question. The Company was not required to recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Company sold its investment securities during the year ended December 31, 2015 and had no investment securities outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2016.

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. This investment was recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of this investment and the underlying equity in net assets is depreciated and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint venture on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated joint venture is allocated based on the Company's ownership or economic interest in the joint venture. A loss in the value of a joint venture investment that is determined to be other than temporary is recognized in the period in which the loss occurs. See Note 4 — Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture.

Deferred Costs, Net

Deferred costs, net consists of deferred financing costs related to a credit facility and leasing costs. Deferred financing costs, net related to mortgage notes payable are presented as an offset against the carrying amount of the related mortgage notes payable. Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.

Deferred leasing costs, consisting primarily of lease commissions and professional fees incurred, are deferred and amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the term of the related lease.

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a portion of its borrowings. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.

The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or if the Company does not elect to apply hedge accounting. If the Company designates a qualifying derivative as a hedge, changes in the value of the derivative are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge, or if the Company does not elect to apply hedge accounting, changes in the value of the derivative are reflected in other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Because many of the Company's leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, GAAP requires that the Company record a receivable, and include in revenues on a straight-line basis, unbilled rent receivables that it will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. When the Company acquires a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation.

Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space. For the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, the Company evaluates whether the Company owns or if the tenant owns the tenant improvements. When the Company is the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is on the date on which such improvements are substantially complete. When the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space.

When the Company concludes that it is the owner of tenant improvements, the Company capitalizes the cost to construct the tenant improvements, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants. When the Company concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, the Company records its contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred leasing costs, net on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant's payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is in doubt, the Company will record an increase in its allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company owns certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant's sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, the Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. If contingent rental income is recognized pursuant to these provisions, contingent rental income is included in rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recognized contingent rental revenue of $0.8 million and $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company did not recognize any revenue or deferred revenue related to contingent rental income during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating expense reimbursement in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.

The Company's hotel revenues are recognized as earned and are derived from room rentals and other sources such as charges to guests for telephone service, movie and vending commissions, meeting and banquet room revenue and laundry services.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based incentive award plan for its directors, which is accounted for under the guidance for employee share based payments. The cost of services received in exchange for a stock award is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and the expense for such awards is included in general and administrative expenses and is recognized over the service period or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company granted restricted shares to employees of the Advisor, which are accounted for under the guidance for non-employee share-based payments. The fair value of the awards granted to employees of the Advisor are remeasured quarterly, with the resulting amortization adjustments reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did not grant any restricted shares to employees of the Advisor.

2014 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement

On April 15, 2014 (the "Effective Date"), in connection with the Listing, the Company entered into the OPP with the OP and the Advisor, which is accounted for under the guidance for non-employee share-based payments. On December 19, 2016, as part of the arrangements providing for the transition of advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider, the Company, the Advisor, the OP and the Property Manager entered into a letter agreement (the "OPP Side Letter") which amended the terms of the OPP and accelerated vesting for certain portions of the award thereunder. Due to the OPP Side Letter, the Company accelerated the recording of equity-based compensation expense associated with the awards over the new requisite service period. Equity-based compensation expense is adjusted each reporting period for changes in the estimated market-related performance. See Note 16 — Share-Based Compensation.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. If the Company continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes annually all of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that the Company distribute annually at least 90% of the Company’s REIT taxable income to the Company’s stockholders. If the Company fails to continue to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) beginning with the year in which it fails to qualify and may be precluded from being able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the Company’s four subsequent taxable years. The Company distributed to its stockholders 100% of its REIT taxable income for each of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes related to such REIT taxable income was recorded on the Company’s financial statements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company purchased a hotel, which is owned by a subsidiary of the OP and leased to a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), that is owned by the OP. A TRS is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. The TRS is a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event the Company determines that it would not be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, the Company establishes a valuation allowance which offsets the previously recognized income tax benefit. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the TRS for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The TRS had deferred tax assets and a corresponding valuation allowance of $5.1 million and $3.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The TRS had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2016 of $10.8 million, which will expire through 2036. The Company estimated income tax relating to its TRS using a combined federal and state rate of approximately 45% for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carry forwards will not be utilized during the carry forward period and as such the Company has established a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. The Company had immaterial current and deferred federal and state income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions. The tax years subsequent to and including the year ended December 31, 2013 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Per Share Data

The Company calculates basic loss per share of common stock by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average shares of its common stock outstanding for the respective period. Diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments such as unvested restricted stock, limited partnership interests of the OP entitled "OP units" ("OP units") or limited partnership units of the OP entitled "LTIP units" ("LTIP units") (assuming such units are not antidilutive), based on the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. See Note 18 — Net Loss Per Share.

Reportable Segments

The Company has determined that it has one reportable segment, with activities related to investing in real estate. The Company's investments in real estate generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing and management of properties. Management evaluates the operating performance of the Company's investments in real estate at the individual property level.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued revised guidance relating to revenue recognition. Under the revised guidance, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance was to become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was not permitted under GAAP. The revised guidance allows entities to apply the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the revised guidance by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, although entities will be allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the implementation of this guidance, including performing a preliminary review of all revenue streams to identify any differences in the timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition. The Company is continuing to evaluate the allowable methods of adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update that amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Among other things, it also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted for most of the amendments in the update. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new guidance requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The revised guidance supersedes previous leasing standards and is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this new guidance.

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires restricted cash to be included in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts. Therefore, transfers between cash and restricted cash will no longer be shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance that revises the definition of a business. This new guidance is applicable when evaluating whether an acquisition should be treated as either a business acquisition or an asset acquisition. Under the revised guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not be considered a business. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the amendments will be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted only for transactions that have not previously been reported in issued financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance relating to disclosure of uncertainties about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, the guidance requires management to disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand the conditions or events that raised the substantial doubt, management's evaluation of the significance of the conditions or events that led to the doubt, the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and management's plans that are intended to mitigate or that have mitigated the conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. There is no disclosure required unless there are conditions or events that have raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In addition, due to the approval of the Liquidation Plan by the Company's stockholders, the Company anticipates that the provisions of this guidance will no longer apply upon implementation of the Liquidation Plan.

In February 2015, the FASB amended the accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. The amendments modify the evaluation of whether certain legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIE") or voting interest entities, eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs (particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships). The revised guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and has determined the OP is considered to be a VIE and continues to consolidate the OP as required under previous GAAP. However, the Company meets the disclosure exemption criteria as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company’s partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest in a business and the assets of the OP can be used for purposes other than settling its obligations, such as paying distributions. Also as a result of the new guidance, the Company has also determined that WWP Holdings, LLC ("Worldwide Plaza") is a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore continues to not consolidate the entity. As such, the adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB amended the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and that the entity apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. In August 2015, the FASB added that, for line of credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line, regardless of whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings. The revised guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. As a result of adoption of the new guidance, the Company has reclassified deferred financing costs, net related to mortgage notes payable of $21.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 as a reduction of the carrying amount of mortgage notes payable. See Note 8 — Mortgage Notes Payable.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based compensation. Among other things, the revised guidance allows companies to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the provisions of this guidance beginning January 1, 2016 and determined that there is no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company's policy is to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurement Adjustments

As a result of the Company’s board of director’s approval in August 2016 of adoption of the Liquidation Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders in January 2017, the Company reconsidered its intended holding period for all of its operating properties and evaluated the impact on its ability to recover the carrying value of such properties based on the expected cash flows over its intended holding period. The Company's estimated future cash flows expected to be generated are based on management’s experience in its real estate market and the effects of current market conditions. The assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, market capitalization rates, discount rates, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate the property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analysis may not be achieved, and actual losses or impairment may be realized in the future.

As a result of its consideration of impairment, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Viceroy Hotel exceeded its estimated fair value and recognized an impairment charge of $27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is presented as impairment loss on real estate investment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As discussed above, during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized $0.9 million of impairment charges in connection with the classification of Duane Reade as held for sale. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Note 4 — Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

On October 30, 2013, the Company purchased a 48.9% equity interest in Worldwide Plaza for a contract purchase price of $220.1 million, based on the property value for Worldwide Plaza of $1.3 billion less $875.0 million of debt on the property. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's pro rata portion of debt secured by Worldwide Plaza was $427.9 million. The debt on the property has a weighted average interest rate of 4.6% and matures in March 2023. As a result of new accounting guidance, the Company has determined that Worldwide Plaza is a VIE, but is not required to consolidate the activities of Worldwide Plaza. The Company accounts for the investment in Worldwide Plaza using the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, the entity. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The Company is generally not permitted to engage in any business activities while implementing the Liquidation Plan, except to exercise its option to purchase additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza (the “WWP Option”). The purchase price required to exercise the WWP Option equals the product of the percentage interest being acquired and the agreed-upon property value of approximately $1.4 billion, (subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for any of the Company's preferred return in arrears) minus the principal balance of the outstanding mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property, which was $875.0 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company has the right to exercise the WWP Option by giving notice to its joint venture partner and making a $30.0 million deposit at any time during the period commencing January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, and the Company intends to exercise the WWP Option during this period with respect to all the equity interests in Worldwide Plaza, subject to the Company’s joint venture partner’s right to retain up to 1.2% of the Company’s joint venture partner’s membership interest. In order to keep the mortgage and mezzanine debt encumbering the Worldwide Plaza property in place, the Company must satisfy certain loan assumption conditions, including meeting a minimum net worth requirement of $750.0 million and a minimum value of real estate assets controlled (through ownership or management) requirement of $2.0 billion (exclusive of the Company’s interest in the Worldwide Plaza property and cash). While the Company believes it currently meet such tests, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet them at the time that the Company desires to exercise the WWP Option. If the Company does not exercise the WWP Option, the Company will be subject to a fee in the amount of $25.0 million.

At acquisition, the Company's investment in Worldwide Plaza exceeded the Company's share of the book value of the net assets of Worldwide Plaza by $260.6 million. This basis difference resulted from the excess of the Company's purchase price for its equity interest in Worldwide Plaza over the book value of Worldwide Plaza's net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated to the fair values of Worldwide Plaza's assets and liabilities. The Company amortizes the basis difference over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of the Company's investment. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the unamortized basis difference was $221.2 million and $233.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Worldwide Plaza was $190.6 million and $215.4 million, respectively.

The Company is party to litigation related to Worldwide Plaza. See Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity and income) are based on the financial information of Worldwide Plaza. The Company does not record losses of the joint venture in excess of its investment balance because the Company is not liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture.

(3)	Total commitments of $325.0 million. An additional $20.0 million is available, subject to lender approval, to fund certain tenant allowances, capital expenditures and leasing costs.


(4)	LIBOR portion is capped through an interest rate cap agreement.


(5)	Encumbered properties are 245-249 West 17th Street, 333 West 34th Street, 216-218 West 18th Street, 50 Varick Street, 229 West 36th Street, 122 Greenwich Street, 350 West 42nd Street, 382-384 Bleecker Street, 350 Bleecker Street, 416-425 Washington Street, 33 West 56th Street and 120 West 57th Street (the "POL Loan Properties").


(6)	This property was sold during the year ended December 31, 2016.


(7)	Calculated on a weighted average basis for all mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2016.

On December 20, 2016, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of its OP, entered into a mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") in the aggregate amount of $500.0 million and a mezzanine loan agreement (the “Mezzanine Loan” and, together with the Mortgage Loan, the “POL Loans”) in the aggregate amount of $260.0 million.

At the closing of the POL Loans, a portion of the net proceeds after closing costs was used to repay the $485.0 million principal amount then outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility, see Note 7 — Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2016, the $260.0 million proceeds from the Mezzanine Loan was held in an escrow account by the servicer of the POL Loans and was recorded as a receivable in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Subsequently, on January 9, 2017, the $260.0 million proceeds were deposited into an operating account that may be used by the Company to purchase the additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza in connection with its exercise of the WWP Option. See Note 21 — Subsequent Events. Prior to the repayment in full of the Credit Facility, all of the POL Loan Properties were included as part of the borrowing base thereunder.

The Mortgage Loan requires monthly interest payments at an initial weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.38% and the Mezzanine Loan requires monthly interest payments at an initial weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 5.65%. The LIBOR portions of the interest rates due under the POL Loans are capped at 3.0% pursuant to interest rate cap agreements.

The principal balance of the POL Loans matures in December 2017. The POL Loans include one option to extend the maturity date for one year, if certain conditions are met including a debt yield test, and subject to a 0.25% increase in the applicable monthly interest rate payable.

The POL Loans are recourse to the Company and may be accelerated only in the event of a default. The POL Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without payment of any prepayment premium or spread maintenance premium or any other fee or penalty.

In connection with a sale or disposition of an individual POL Loan Property to a third party, such POL Loan Property may be released from the Mortgage Loan, subject to certain conditions, by prepayment of a portion of the Mortgage Loan in an amount (the “Release Amount”) equal to 100% of the allocated amount under the POL Loans for such POL Loan Property up to the first 20% of the amount outstanding under the POL Loans prepaid and 110% of the allocated amount under the POL Loans for such POL Loan Property for the remaining amount outstanding under the POL Loans prepaid. Concurrently with the payment of the Release Amount, the borrower entity under the Mezzanine Loan is obligated to prepay a corresponding portion of the Mezzanine Loan, in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan, for which it will receive a release of a corresponding portion of the collateral under the Mezzanine Loan.

Concurrently with the POL Loans, the Company entered into guaranty agreements with respect to the POL Loans that requires the Company to maintain, (i) on a consolidated basis, a minimum net worth of $300.0 million, which minimum net worth will be reduced pro rata with any prepayment of the POL Loans once the outstanding principal amount of the POL Loans is less than $300.0 million, but in no event will the minimum net worth be reduced below $150.0 million, and (ii) liquid assets having a market value of at least $25.0 million, which minimum market value of liquid assets may be reduced to $15.0 million in the event the outstanding amount under the POL Loans is equal to or less than $100.0 million.

On September 30, 2015, in connection with the mortgage notes payable secured by its property located at 1440 Broadway, the Company executed guarantees in favor of the lenders with respect to the costs of certain unfunded obligations of the Company related to tenant allowances, capital expenditures and leasing costs, which guarantees are capped at $5.3 million in the aggregate. The guarantees expire in October 2019, the maturity date of the 1440 Broadway mortgage. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has not been required to perform under the guarantees and has not recognized any assets or liabilities related to the guarantees.

Real estate investments of $1.7 billion, at cost and net of below-market lease liabilities, at December 31, 2016 have been pledged as collateral to their respective mortgages and are not available to satisfy the Company's corporate debts and obligations unless first satisfying the mortgage notes payable on the properties.

Note 9 — Subordinated Listing Distribution

Upon occurrence of the Listing, New York Recovery Special Limited Partnership, LLC (the "SLP") became entitled to begin receiving distributions of net sale proceeds pursuant to its special limited partner interest in the OP (the "SLP Interest") in an aggregate amount that was evidenced by the issuance of a note by the OP (the "Listing Note"). The Listing Note was equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (a) the average market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock for the period 180 days to 210 days after the Listing, plus dividends paid by the Company prior to the Listing, exceeded (b) the sum of the total amount of capital raised from stockholders during the Company’s initial public offering ("IPO") and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate a 6.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to such stockholders. Concurrently with the Listing, the Company, as general partner of the OP, caused the OP to enter into the Listing Note agreement dated April 15, 2014 by and between the OP and the SLP, and caused the OP to issue the Listing Note. The Listing Note was evidence of the SLP's right to receive distributions of net sales proceeds from the sale of the Company's real estate and real estate-related assets up to an aggregate amount equal to the principal balance of the Listing Note. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement of the OP, the SLP had the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the SLP interest into OP units, which are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock or the cash value of a corresponding number of shares, at the election of the OP, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP.

The principal amount of the Listing Note was determined based, in part, on the actual market value of the Company’s outstanding common stock for the period 180 days to 210 days after the Listing. Until the final principal amount of the Listing Note was determined in November 2014, the Listing Note was considered to be a derivative which was marked to fair value at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The principal amount of the Listing Note was determined to be $33.5 million and was recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2014. On November 21, 2014, at the request of the SLP, the Listing Note was converted into 3,062,512 OP units and the value of the Listing Note was reclassified from derivative liabilities to non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. In January 2017, the remaining OP units issued under the Listing Note were converted into common stock, see Note 21 — Subsequent Events.

Note 10 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines fair value of its financial instruments based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the instrument. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the instruments, as applicable, including the period to maturity, and may use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, and unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and caps, fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company's derivatives. See Note 11 — Interest Rate Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

The valuation of derivatives is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company's potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

The following table presents information about the Company's derivatives that are presented net, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall:

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Financial instruments not carried at fair value

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and dividends payable approximates their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are reported below.



		Carrying Amount at		Fair Value at		Carrying Amount at		Fair Value at

The fair value of mortgage notes payable and the fixed-rate portions of term loans on the Credit Facility are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on similar types of arrangements. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, see Note 7 — Credit Facility.

Note 11 — Interest Rate Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, collars, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative or purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements will not perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties that the Company believes to have high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company uses such derivatives to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company terminated two of its interest rate swaps. One of the swaps was hedging one month LIBOR based debt on the Credit Facility at the OP level and was designated as a cash flow hedge. However, the Company has other one month LIBOR based debt that consolidates to the OP level and is currently not designated as a cash flow hedge. Since the swap was not limited to specific one month LIBOR debt, it can be used to hedge other one month LIBOR debt and allowed the Company to conclude that the forecasted transaction will occur. Upon repayment of the Credit Facility, the swap had an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.7 million and the Company will amortize this balance through August 20, 2018, the maturity date of the swap. The Company also terminated one of its interest rate swaps as the related hedged debts were repaid, which made it probable that the forecasted transactions would not occur. As a result, the reclassification of immaterial amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings was accelerated. This termination resulted in a loss of approximately $24,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.5 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks, but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements under GAAP. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings, which resulted in an expense of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 and included in gain (loss) on derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $0.1 million at December 31, 2016.

Note 12 — Common Stock

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had 167.1 million and 162.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, including unvested shares of restricted common stock ("restricted shares"), but not including LTIP units or OP units, which may in the future be redeemed for shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 3,336,430 shares of its common stock upon redemption of 3,336,430 OP units held by certain individuals who are members, employees or former employees of the Advisor in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 1,172,738 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of 1,172,738 LTIP units held by certain individuals who are members, employees or former employees of the Advisor in accordance with the OPP Side Letter (as defined below). See Note 16 —Share-Based Compensation.

From April 2014 through October 2016, the Company's board of directors authorized, and the Company has declared, a monthly dividend at an annualized rate equal to $0.46 per share per annum. Dividends were paid to stockholders of record on the close of business on the 8th day of each month, payable on the 15th day of such month. In October 2016, the Company announced that, in light of the Liquidation Plan, which was then subject to stockholder approval, the Company's board of directors had determined that the Company would not pay a regular dividend for the month of November 2016 and did not expect to pay a regular monthly dividend for the month of December 2016 or thereafter. Because the Liquidation Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders, the Company will not resume paying monthly dividends. The Company expects to make periodic liquidating distributions out of net proceeds of asset sales, subject to satisfying its liabilities and obligations, in lieu of regular monthly dividends. There can be no assurance as to the actual amount or timing of liquidating distributions stockholders will receive. See Note 21 — Subsequent Events.

RXR Litigation

RXR Realty (“RXR”) initiated a suit against the Company alleging that it suffered “lost profits” in connection with the Company’s purchase of its 48.9% interest in Worldwide Plaza in October 2013. On August 12, 2014, the Supreme Court of the State of New York dismissed all of RXR’s claims against the seller of Worldwide Plaza and dismissed RXR’s disgorgement claims against the Company, permitting only a limited, immaterial claim against the Company for RXR’s cost of producing due diligence-related material to proceed. RXR appealed the ruling and, on October 13, 2015, the appellate court upheld the previous decisions; however, the appellate court held that the trial court's exclusion of lost profit damages was premature and would have to be considered through a motion for summary judgment. The Company moved for partial summary judgment to reinstate the damages limitation, and the trial court granted the motion at oral argument on March 24, 2016. On June 16, 2016, RXR appealed, and on December 8, 2016, the appellate court entered an order denying RXR’s appeal and affirming the trial court’s damages limitation. On January 9, 2017, RXR filed a motion seeking reargument of the appellate court decision, or, in the alternative, leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals. That motion was fully briefed and submitted for decision on February 8, 2017. The Company has not recognized a liability with respect to RXR's claim because the Company does not believe that it is probable that it will incur a related material loss.

Combination Transactions Litigation

During June 2016, Irene Jacobs and Marvin Jacobs filed a class action complaint (the “Jacobs Complaint”) on behalf of public stockholders of the Company against the Company, the OP, Michael Happel, the Company's chief executive officer, and its board of directors. The Jacobs Complaint was originally filed in New York Supreme Court, New York County on June 17, 2016, but the New York action was discontinued and re-filed in Maryland Circuit Court on July 12, 2016. The Jacobs Complaint seeks to enjoin the series of transactions contemplated by the Master Combination Agreement (the “JBG Combination Agreement”) the Company entered into in May 2016 with JBG Properties, Inc. and JBG/Operating Partners, L.P (collectively “JBG Management Entities”), and certain pooled investment funds that are affiliates of the JBG Management Entities (collectively with the JBG Management Entities and certain affiliated entities, “JBG”). The Jacobs Complaint alleges, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the public stockholders of the Company by causing the Company to enter into the JBG Combination Agreement, and that the Company, the OP and JBG knowingly assisted in those alleged breaches. On August 2, 2016, the Company and the OP entered into an agreement with JBG to terminate the JBG Combination Agreement. On September 2, 2016, following termination of the JBG Combination Agreement, a stipulation of voluntary discontinuance of the Jacobs Complaint was filed, concluding the matter.

Harris Derivative Suit

In October 2016, Berney Harris (the "Plaintiff") filed a derivative complaint (the “Harris Complaint”) on behalf of public stockholders of the Company against the Company, members of its board of directors (the “director defendants”), the Advisor, and certain affiliates of the Advisor (together with the Advisor, the “advisor defendants”). The Complaint was filed in New York Supreme Court, New York County on October 13, 2016. The Harris Complaint alleges, among other things, that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the public stockholders of the Company by putting the interests of the advisor defendants before those of the public stockholders, which breach was aided and abetted by the advisor defendants. The Harris Complaint also asserts claims of corporate waste against the director defendants and unjust enrichment against certain of the advisor defendants. On December 16, 2016, the defendants filed motions to dismiss on the basis of a provision in the Company’s bylaws providing that the state or federal courts of Maryland are the sole and exclusive forum for claims such as those raised in the Harris Complaint. If the motion is granted and the case is dismissed, the Harris Complaint may be refiled in Maryland. If the motion is denied, the case will proceed in in New York Supreme Court, New York County. In either event, the defendants still have various other grounds on which to move to dismiss, and the Company intends to vigorously defend against all claims.

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. The Company maintains environmental insurance for its properties 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.

Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor manages the Company's day-to-day operations pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Company pays to the Advisor an asset management fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the cost of assets up to $3.0 billion and 0.40% per annum of the cost of assets above $3.0 billion. The asset management fee is payable in the form of cash, OP units, and shares of restricted common stock of the Company, or a combination thereof, at the Advisor’s election. The Company has paid this fee in cash during all periods for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. On April 25, 2016, the Advisory Agreement was amended to provide for automatic renewal for successive six-month periods beginning on June 26, 2016, unless terminated automatically upon the consummation of a change in control or upon 60-days' written notice without cause and without penalty prior to the expiration of the original term or any subsequent renewal period. On October 24, 2016, the Company provided notice that the existing Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Advisor will be terminated effective December 26, 2016. On December 19, 2016, the Company, the OP and the Advisor entered into the Advisory Amendment as part of a series of arrangements providing for the transition of advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider.

Pursuant to the Advisory Amendment, the current term of the Advisory Agreement extends to March 31, 2017 (the “Initial Extension Period”). In addition, the Company may, with approval of the Company's independent directors, extend the term of the Advisory Agreement for up to five successive 30-day periods (each, an “Additional Extension Period”) upon at least 45 days’ notice prior to the expiration of the Initial Extension Period and upon at least 30 days’ notice prior to the expiration of any Additional Extension Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisory Agreement also provides that, following the later of February 28, 2017 and the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Advisory Agreement may be terminated upon three business days’ written notice from the Company's independent directors to the Advisor. The Advisory Agreement will also terminate automatically upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Advisory Agreement).

Upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will no longer serve as the Company’s advisor or have any advisory responsibility to the Company but will have an obligation to cooperate with the Company in making an orderly transition of the advisory function. After termination, the Advisor is entitled to receive all amounts then accrued and owing to the Advisor (but not a termination fee or any other amounts).

Following the Transition Date, the Service Provider, and not the Advisor, will be responsible for maintaining the Company’s accounting, tax, regulatory and other records and taking all actions necessary to file any reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other regulatory agencies or any applicable stock exchange. Pursuant to the amendment to the Advisory Agreement entered into as part of the arrangements providing for transition advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider, the Advisor will have no responsibility (and no liability) with respect to the Liquidation Plan and any liquidation accounting associated therewith.

Until the Listing, the Company paid the Advisor an asset management subordinated participation by causing the OP to issue (subject to periodic approval by the board of directors) to the Advisor a number of performance-based restricted, forfeitable partnership units of the OP designated as "Class B units" equal to a maximum 0.75% per annum of the cost of the Company's assets. As of April 15, 2014, in aggregate, the board of directors had approved the issuance of 1,188,667 Class B units to the Advisor in connection with this arrangement. The Advisor received distributions on unvested Class B units equal to the per share dividends paid on the Company's common stock. The value of issued Class B units was determined and expensed when the vesting condition was met, which occurred as of the Listing, resulting in $11.5 million of expense which was included in vesting of asset management fees expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2014. On April 15, 2014, the Class B units were converted to OP units on a one-to-one basis.

The Company reimburses the Advisor for costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor and its affiliates in connection with providing services to the Company (including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees directly involved in performing services), although the Company does not reimburse the Advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which the Advisor receives a separate fee. The Company’s executive officers, employees of affiliates of the Advisor and Property Manager, except for awards of restricted shares under certain limited circumstances that occurred only during the year ended December 31, 2015 and have not recurred, do not receive any compensation directly from the Company for serving as executive officers. The Company does not reimburse the Advisor and its affiliates that are involved in managing the Company’s operations, including the Property Manager, for salaries, bonuses or benefits incurred by these entities and paid to the Company's executive officers. Prior to June 2015, reimbursement of costs and expenses was subject to the limitation that the Company would not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which the Company's total operating expenses (as defined in the Advisory Agreement during the applicable time) for the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeded the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets and (b) 25.0% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period (the "2%/25% Limitation"). The Company amended and restated the Advisory Agreement on June 26, 2015 which, among other things, removed the 2%/25% Limitation. Total reimbursement of costs and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company did not reimburse the Advisor for costs and expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Advisory Amendment, the amount of the expenses incurred by the Advisor that the Company are required to reimburse pursuant to the Advisory Agreement is limited to no more than (i) $0.7 million for the Initial Extension Period and (ii) $0.2 million per each Additional Extension Period.

Prior to the Advisory Amendment, in connection with a sale of one or more properties, in which the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services, as determined by the Company’s independent directors, the Company was required under the Advisory Agreement to pay the Advisor a property disposition fee not to exceed the lesser of 2.0% of the contract sale price of the property and 50% of the competitive real estate commission paid if a third party broker is also involved; provided, however that in no event may the property disposition fee paid to the Advisor when added to real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties exceed the lesser of 6.0% of the contract sales price and a competitive real estate commission. For purposes of the foregoing, "competitive real estate commission" means a real estate brokerage commission for the purchase or sale of a property which is reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the property. In connection with the Advisory Amendment the Company is no longer required to pay the Advisor a property disposition fee. The Company incurred and paid $0.2 million in property disposition fees during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 for the disposal of properties prior to the Advisory Amendment. No such fees were incurred or paid during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Property Management Agreement

Pursuant to the Property Management Agreement, unless the Company contracts with a third party, the Company has agreed to pay the Property Manager a property management fee equal to: (i) for non-hotel properties, 4.0% of gross revenues from properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions; and (ii) for hotel properties, a market-based fee equal to a percentage of gross revenues. The Company also reimburses the Property Manager for property-level expenses. The Property Manager may subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services. If the Company contracts directly with third parties for such services, the Company will pay them customary market fees and pay the Property Manager an oversight fee equal to 1.0% of the gross revenues of the applicable property.

The Property Manager waived property management fees from the time the Company commenced active operations in June 2010 until the third quarter of 2016, at which point the Property Manager began to charge the property management fee pursuant to the Property Management Agreement, which were paid in cash by the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Advisor and Property Manager agreed to waive certain fees, including property management fees. The fees that were waived were not deferrals and accordingly, will not be paid to the Advisor in any subsequent periods.

The term of the Property Management Agreement expires on September 1, 2017. Pursuant to the amendment to the Property Management Agreement entered into as part of the arrangements providing for the transition of advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider, the Property Management Agreement will also terminate on the expiration or termination of the Advisory Agreement, if earlier.

Personnel Side Letter

On December 19, 2016, as part of the arrangements providing for the transition of advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider, the Company, the OP, Advisor and the Property Manager entered into a letter agreement (the “Personnel Side Letter”), requiring the Company to fund, and the Advisor to pay, certain amounts to incentivize and retain certain personnel of the Advisor and its affiliates (the “Advisor Employees”). The Personnel Side Letter provides that the 2016 bonus to be paid by the Advisor to each Advisor Employee who remains employed by the Advisor or its affiliates will be no less than 75% of such Advisor Employee’s 2015 bonus.

Pursuant to an escrow agreement entered into among the Company, the Advisor and Chicago Title Insurance Company on December 21, 2016, the Company deposited an amount equal to $0.7 million in an escrow account on December 21, 2016. The amount in the escrow account will be used to pay the retention bonuses allocated to each Advisor Employee who remains employed by the Advisor or its affiliates as a retention bonus, with two-thirds of the bonus payable upon the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the remainder payable on the earlier of the termination of the Advisory Agreement or the final day of the Initial Extension Period. Upon the occurrence of a change of control prior to the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or the final day of the Initial Extension Period, the entirety of the amounts to be paid will be paid to those Advisor Employees who remain employed by the Advisor or its affiliates at that time. No portion of the amount held in escrow will be refundable to the Company for any reason other than equitable adjustment to account for any Advisor Employees who are no longer employed by the Advisor or its affiliates as of the date of a payment.

No later than five business days prior to the beginning of each Additional Extension Period (if any), the Company will pay to the Advisor an additional amount equal to $0.2 million (equitably adjusted to account for any Advisor Employee who, as of the beginning of the Additional Extension Period, is no longer employed by the Advisor or its affiliates), and the Advisor will pay the amount allocated to each Advisor Employee who remains employed by the Advisor or its affiliate on the last regularly scheduled payroll date during the applicable Additional Extension Period. No portion of these amounts paid to the Advisor will be refundable to the Company for any reason other than equitable adjustment to account for any Advisor Employees who are no longer employed by the or its affiliates as of the date of a payment.

Settlement Agreement

On October 23, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with WW Investors LLC, Michael L. Ashner and Steven C. Witkoff (collectively, the “WW Investors”), an affiliate of the Service Provider, to settle a potential proxy contest pertaining to the election of directors to the Company’s board of directors at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things:


•	the Company’s board of directors was expanded from six to nine directors and James Hoffmann, Gregory Hughes and Craig T. Bouchard were elected as members of the Company’s board of directors;


•	Mr. Hoffmann was appointed to serve as a member of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors and Mr. Hughes was appointed to serve as a member of the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors;

•

so long as WW Investors is not in breach of the Settlement Agreement, WW Investors has certain rights to recommend replacement directors if either of Mr. Hughes or Mr. Hoffmann resigns from the Company’s board of directors or is rendered unable to serve on the Company’s board of directors by reason of death or disability prior to the end of the Standstill Period (as defined below) subject to such replacement directors being independent under the applicable standards in the Settlement Agreement, and subject to such replacement director being first recommended by the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company’s board of directors and subsequently approved by the Company’s board of directors in their sole discretion;


•	WW Investors will vote its shares of common stock at any stockholders meeting prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period in favor of the Company’s director nominees and otherwise in accordance with the Company’s board of director’s recommendation;


•	following that selection of the Service Provider in the RFP, for so long as WW Investors or one of its affiliates serves as the Company’s external advisor or manager, WW Investors may sell shares of the Company’s common stock so long as it continues to own at least 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate;


•	the Company reimbursed WW Investors for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal expenses) of $0.5 million incurred in connection with WW Investors’ involvement at the Company; and

•

The Standstill Period will also terminate on the date that the Company files its proxy statement in respect of an annual meeting if either Mr. Hoffmann or Mr. Hughes (or any replacement director) is not nominated as a director unless such failure to be so nominated was attributable to involvement in certain legal proceedings that would require disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On February 4, 2017, Ms. Silverstein was recommended as a replacement director by WW Investors with respect to the resignation of Mr. Hoffmann pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement as modified by an amendment to the Settlement Agreement entered into on that date, and she was thereafter elected to the board of directors to serve as a director until the Company’s 2017 annual meeting and until her successor is duly elected and qualifies.

A total of 0.5 million shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, no stock options were issued under the Plan.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company's employee and director incentive restricted share plan ("RSP") provides the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company's directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company.

Under the RSP, the annual amount granted to the independent directors is determined by the board of directors. The maximum number of shares of stock granted under the RSP cannot exceed 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time. Restricted shares issued to independent directors generally vest over a three-year period in increments of 33.3% per annum. Generally, such awards provide for accelerated vesting of (i) all unvested restricted shares upon a change in control or a termination without cause and (ii) the portion of the unvested restricted shares scheduled to vest in the year of voluntary termination or the failure to be re-elected to the board.

Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares receive cash dividends and other distributions (including any liquidating distributions made pursuant to the Liquidation Plan) prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any dividends payable in shares of common stock are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.

In February 2015, the board of directors approved, and the Company awarded, 279,365 restricted shares to employees of the Advisor, of which 79,805 restricted shares were subsequently forfeited. The remaining awards vest over a four-year period in increments of 25% per annum. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company awarded an additional 30,000 restricted shares to its interim chief financial officer. This award vests over a three-year period, subject to automatic vesting in its entirety upon his resignation or replacement as interim chief executive officer.

The following table displays restricted share award activity during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:



	Number of Restricted Shares		Weighted-Average Issue Price
Unvested, December 31, 2014	89,499		$	10.73

Vested	(94,769	)	10.59
Unvested, December 31, 2016	268,780		$	10.50

Compensation expense related to restricted shares was $0.7 million, $1.1 million, and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $1.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards granted under the Company’s RSP, which is expected to vest over a period of 2.4 years.

2014 Advisor Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement

On the Effective Date, in connection with the Listing, the Company entered into the OPP with the OP and the Advisor. Under the OPP, the Advisor was issued 8,880,579 LTIP units in the OP with a maximum award value on the issuance date equal to 5.0% of the Company’s market capitalization (the “OPP Cap”). The LTIP units are structured as profits interests in the OP.

On December 19, 2016, as part of the arrangements providing for the transition of advisory services from the Advisor to the Service Provider, the Company, the OP, the Advisor and the Property Manager entered into the OPP Side Letter with respect to LTIP units. Pursuant to the OPP Side Letter, all 1,172,738 issued and outstanding earned and unvested LTIP units vested automatically on December 26, 2016 and were converted on a one-for-one basis into unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock.

In addition, the OPP Side Letter provides that the number of additional LTIP units issued under the OPP to the Advisor that are eligible to be earned in the third and final year of the OPP on April 15, 2017 (the "Year 3 LTIP units") will be calculated on April 15, 2017, the final valuation date, in accordance with the terms of the OPP and will be immediately vested and converted on a one-for-one basis into unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock on April 15, 2017, except if a change of control (as defined in the OPP) occurs prior to April 15, 2017, the number of Year 3 LTIP units will be calculated as of the day immediately preceding the close of the change of control and the value of the Year 3 LTIP units will be paid to the Advisor in cash at the closing. In accordance with the OPP Side Letter, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to file a Registration Statement with the SEC on Form S-3 registering the resale of the shares of the Company's common stock issuable in exchange for the previously earned LTIP units and Year 3 LTIP units on or prior to December 26, 2016, which was filed with the SEC on December 22, 2016.

Prior to the OPP Side Letter, subject to the Advisor's continued service through each vesting date, one third of any earned LTIP units would vest on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date.

Under the OPP, the Advisor's eligibility to earn a number of LTIP units with a value equal to a portion of the OPP Cap upon the first, second and third anniversaries of the Effective Date is based on the Company’s achievement of certain levels of total return to the Company's stockholders (“Total Return”), including both share price appreciation and common stock dividends, as measured against a peer group of companies, as set forth below, for the three-year performance period commencing on the Effective Date (the “Three-Year Period”); each 12-month period during the Three-Year Period (the “One-Year Period”); and the initial 24-month period of the Three-Year Period (the “Two-Year Period”), as follows:



			Performance Period	Annual Period	Interim Period
Absolute Component: 4% of any excess Total Return if total stockholder return attained above an absolute hurdle measured from the beginning of such period:			21%	7%	14%
Relative Component: 4% of any excess Total Return attained above the Total Return for the performance period of the Peer Group*, subject to a ratable sliding scale factor as follows based on achievement of cumulative Total Return measured from the beginning of such period:
	•	100% will be earned if total stockholder return achieved is at least:	18%	6%	12%
	•	50% will be earned if total stockholder return achieved is:	0%	0%	0%
	•	0% will be earned if total stockholder return achieved is less than:	0%	0%	0%
	•	a percentage from 50% to 100% calculated by linear interpolation will be earned if the cumulative Total Return achieved is between:	0% - 18%	0% - 6%	0% - 12%

______________________

*The “Peer Group” is comprised of certain companies in the SNL US REIT Office Index.

The potential outperformance award is calculated at the end of each One-Year Period, the Two-Year Period and the Three-Year Period. The award earned for the Three-Year Period is based on the formula in the table above less any awards earned for the Two-Year Period and One-Year Periods, but not less than zero; the award earned for the Two-Year Period is based on the formula in the table above less any award earned for the first and second One-Year Period, but not less than zero. Any LTIP units that are unearned at the end of the Performance Period will be forfeited. On April 15, 2015, 367,059 LTIP units were earned by the Advisor under the terms of the OPP. On April 15, 2016, 805,679 additional LTIP units were earned by the Advisor under the terms of the OPP. The remaining LTIP units are currently unearned and unvested and will only be earned and vest upon satisfaction of the performance based and service based vesting criteria summarized above. Any LTIP units that are not earned through April 15, 2017, the end of the Three-Year Period and vested will be forfeited.

Until such time as an LTIP unit is earned in accordance with the provisions of the OPP, the holder of such LTIP unit is entitled to distributions on such LTIP unit equal to 10% of the distributions (other than distributions of sales proceeds) made per OP unit. If real estate assets are sold and net sales proceeds distributed prior to April 15, 2017, the end of the Three-Year Period, the holders of LTIP units generally would be entitled to a portion of those net sales proceeds with respect to both the earned and unearned LTIP units (although the amount per LTIP unit, which would be determined in accordance with a formula in the limited partnership agreement of the OP, would be less than the amount per OP unit until the average capital account per LTIP unit equals the average capital account per OP unit). The Company’s board of directors has discretion as to the timing of distributions of net sales proceeds. The Company paid $1.3 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 million respectively, in distributions related to LTIP units during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively, which is included in non-controlling interest in the consolidated balance sheets. After an LTIP unit is earned, the holder of such LTIP unit is entitled to a catch-up distribution and then the same distribution as the holder of an OP unit. At the time the Advisor’s average capital account balance with respect to an LTIP unit is economically equivalent to the average capital account balance of an OP unit, the LTIP unit has been earned and it has been vested for 30 days, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, will be entitled to convert such LTIP unit into an OP unit in accordance with the provisions of the limited partnership agreement of the OP.

The Company records equity-based compensation expense associated with the OPP over the required service period. Prior to the OPP Side Letter and for the Year 3 LTIP units, equity-based compensation expense is adjusted each reporting period for changes in the estimated value. As of and subsequent to the OPP Side Letter, the fair value of the LTIP units issued under the OPP to the Advisor from the first and second year of the OPP are locked-in and adjusted as appropriate under GAAP. The amortization of the fair value of the OPP awards recorded as equity-based compensation resulted in income of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, amortization of the fair value of the OPP awards recorded as equity-based compensation resulted in compensation expense of $14.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The valuation of the OPP is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the OPP, including the performance periods and total return hurdles, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, and unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility. As a result, the Company has determined that its OPP valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 10 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

The following table presents information about the Company's OPP, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the instrument falls:

The following table provides quantitative information about significant Level 3 input used:



Financial Instrument	Fair Value		Principal Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Input Value
	(In thousands)
December 31, 2016
OPP	$	17,278	Monte Carlo Simulation	Expected volatility	28.0	%
December 31, 2015
OPP	$	43,500	Monte Carlo Simulation	Expected volatility	27.0	%

Expected volatility is a measure of the variability in possible returns for an instrument, parameter or market index given how much the particular instrument, parameter or index changes in value over time. Generally, the higher the expected volatility of the underlying instrument, the wider the range of potential future returns. An increase in expected volatility, in isolation, would generally result in an increase in the fair value measurement of an instrument. For the relationship described above, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.

Note 18 — Net Loss Per Share

The following is a summary of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations for the periods presented:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2016			2015			2014
Basic and diluted net loss attributable to stockholders	$	(82,526	)	$	(39,081	)	$	(93,028	)

Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted	164,949,461			162,165,580			166,959,316
Net loss per share attributable to stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(0.50	)	$	(0.24	)	$	(0.56	)

Diluted net loss per share assumes the conversion of all common share equivalents into an equivalent number of common shares, unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The Company considers unvested restricted shares, OP units and LTIP units to be common share equivalents. The Company had the following common share equivalents for the periods presented, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to stockholders as the effect would have been anti-dilutive:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2016	2015	2014
Unvested restricted shares	268,780	316,570	89,499
OP units	841,660	4,178,090	4,270,841
LTIP units	7,707,841	8,880,579	8,880,579
Total anti-dilutive common share equivalents	8,818,281	13,375,239	13,240,919

Note 19 — Non-Controlling Interests

The Company is the sole general partner of the OP and holds the majority of the OP units. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Advisor or members, employees or former employees of the Advisor held 841,660 and 4,178,090 OP units, respectively, and 7,707,841 and 8,880,579 unvested LTIP units, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, all of these OP units have been submitted for redemption in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP. On January 3, 2017, the Company issued 841,660 shares of its common stock upon redemption of 841,660 OP units held by certain individuals who are individual members of the Advisor and/or employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, following which no OP units remained outstanding other than OP units held by the Company corresponding to shares of the Company's common stock. Note 21 — Subsequent Events. There were $1.9 million, $2.6 million and $0.8 million respectively, of distributions paid to OP unit and LTIP unit holders during the year ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

A holder of OP units has the right to distributions on the same basis as a holder of shares of the Company's common stock, and has the right to redeem OP units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock or a corresponding number of shares of the Company's common stock, at the election of the Company, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the OP. The remaining rights of the holders of OP units are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP's assets.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, 3,336,430 and 92,751 OP units were redeemed for shares of the Company's common stock and reclassified from non-controlling interest to stockholders' equity.

The Company was the controlling member of the limited liability company that owned 163 Washington Avenue, acquired in September 2012. The Company had the sole voting rights under the operating agreement of this limited liability company. The non-controlling members' aggregate initial investment balance of $0.5 million would have been reduced by the dividends paid to each non-controlling member. No dividends were paid during the year ended December 31, 2014. On October 21, 2015, the Company sold the 163 Washington Avenue property and distributed to the non-controlling members $0.6 million, representing their invested capital plus a return on investment.

Due to the approval of the Liquidation Plan, the Company expects to adopt the liquidation basis of accounting effective January 1, 2017. Pursuant to the Liquidation Plan, the Company expects to sell or transfer all of its assets, pay or provide for its liabilities and expenses, distribute the remaining proceeds of the liquidation of its assets to its stockholders, wind up its operations and dissolve. The actual amounts and times of the liquidating distributions the Company will make to its stockholders pursuant to the Liquidation Plan will be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its discretion.

OP Unit Redemptions
