Item 2.01                Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On August 11, 2016, Winthrop Realty Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) sold its One East Erie office property in Chicago, Illinois.  After satisfying all closing costs associated with the sale, the Trust received an aggregate of approximately $46.8 million from the sale.  The amount received is consistent with Winthrop Realty Trust’s (“Winthrop”) most recently reported liquidation value attributable to this asset.

Also on August 11, 2016, the $11.0 million mezzanine loan held by the Trust’s Concord Debt Holdings venture, in which the Trust holds a two-thirds interest, indirectly secured by Waterfront Plaza, Honolulu, Hawaii was satisfied in full.  The amount received is consistent with Winthrop’s most recently reported liquidation value attributable to this asset.

Item 8.01.               Other Events

As a result of the sale of One East Erie and the payoff of the Waterfront mezzanine loan, the Trust’s trustees have approved a liquidating distribution of $1.00 per common beneficial interest in the Trust payable in cash on August ___, 2016.  For tax purposes, no gain or loss was recognized on the property sale or the loan payoff and the liquidating distribution is considered a return of capital.

On August 11, 2016, the Trust issued a press release with respect to the transactions described in Item 2.01 and announcing the distribution described in this Item 8.01.  A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.
