(formerly known as Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund IV L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership (the “Fund”). As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2020, Boston Capital Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“BCC”), Boston Capital Companion Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership (“Companion”), and certain other affiliates of BCC entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Boston Financial Investment Management, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“BFIM”) and BFBC Holdings GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of BFIM (together with BFIM, the “BFIM Parties”) pursuant to which the BFIM Parties agreed to acquire 100% of the partnership interests in Companion. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the BFIM Parties would, through the acquisition of Companion, acquire, among other things, 100% of the partnership interests in the General Partner, and 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of BCTC IV Assignor Corp., the assignor limited partner of the Fund (the “Transaction”). The Transaction closed on December 15, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). Effective as of the Closing Date, Corporate Investment Holdings, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, replaced BCA Associates Limited Partnership as the general partner of the Fund’s General Partner, and Companion replaced Capital Investment Holdings IV Limited Partnership as the sole limited partner of the Fund’s General Partner. The assignor limited partner of the Fund continues to be BCTC IV Assignor Corp., which is now wholly-owned by Companion. Each of Corporate Investment Holdings, Inc. and Companion is wholly owned by the BFIM Parties. Following the closing of the Transaction, the Fund changed its name to “BF Garden Tax Credit Fund IV L.P.” and the General Partner changed its name to “BF Garden Associates IV L.P.”
