On November 9, 2017, the venture in which Winthrop Realty Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) holds an 83.7% interest sold its Mosaic Apartments property located in Houston, Texas to an independent third party for a gross sale price of approximately $90.5 million. After satisfying the $45.0 million debt encumbering this property and all closing costs and pro rations associated with the sale, the Trust received a pro-rata distribution of approximately $37.4 million from the sale. The gross sales price is $0.7 million lower than the Trust's estimated net assets in liquidation attributable to this asset at December 31, 2016.
