NORTHLAND CABLE PROPERTIES EIGHT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission on May 5, 2016, Northland Cable Properties Eight Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) completed the sale of the operating assets and franchise rights of its cable systems in and around the communities of Aliceville, Alabama and Swainsboro, Georgia to Northland Cable Television, Inc., an affiliate of Northland Communications Corporation, the general partner of the Partnership. The sale of the Partnership’s assets constitute the sale of substantially all of the Partnership’s assets. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Partnership is dissolved as of the close of business on May 9, 2016, and the general partner will wind-up the business and affairs of the Partnership. In connection with the winding-up of the Partnership, on May 9, 2016, Northland Communications Corporation, the general partner of the Partnership and as agent for the limited partners of the Partnership and on behalf of the Partnership, entered into a Liquidating Trust Agreement (“Trust Agreement”) with Northland Eight Liquidating Trustee, LLC (the “Trustee”) to establish the NCP-Eight Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”). The sole purpose of the Trust is to hold, manage and distribute the proceeds attributable to general and limited partners from the liquidation of the Partnership, and to make payment of any claims and/or contingent liabilities arising from the business formerly conducted by the Partnership. Under the Trust Agreement, all rights of each of the general partner and limited partners to receive the proceeds from the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets, (as described in that certain Proxy Statement of the Partnership dated February 19, 2016 (the “Proxy Statement”), including the right to receive amounts subject to holdback, as determined under the asset purchase agreement), are transferred to the Trust. The general partner and limited partners hold beneficial interests in the Trust, representing the right to receive distributions from the Trust, from time to time, as determined by the Trustee.
