The sale price for the Crescent Gateway Property was approximately $49.1 million.

On November 30, 2016, the Crescent Joint Venture completed the sale of the Crescent Gateway Property to NIC Gateway Orlando, LLC, an unaffiliated third party. The net cash to the Company from the sale of the Crescent Gateway Property is approximately $10.4 million after repayment of approximately $28.3 million of debt, closing costs, reserves, and distributions to Crescent in accordance with the provisions of the Crescent Joint Venture’s governing documents.

Sale of City Walk Property

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 20, 2016, the joint venture (the “City Walk Joint Venture”) of an operating subsidiary of the Company and LMI City Walk Investor, LLC entered into an agreement for the sale of the City Walk Joint Venture’s 320-unit “Class A” multifamily residential community located in Roswell, Georgia (the “City Walk Property”).

The terms of the sale are contained in the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) and the amendments thereto filed with the SEC as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 10, 2016.

On December 1, 2016, the City Walk Joint Venture completed the sale of the City Walk Property to BR Roswell, LLC, an unaffiliated third party to which the purchase rights under the PSA were assigned.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Liquidating Distribution

On December 2, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a liquidating cash distribution of $2.30 per share (the “Liquidating Distribution”) to the holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on December 6, 2016, payable on or around December 8, 2016. The Liquidating Distribution is the second liquidating distribution made pursuant to the plan of dissolution that was approved by the Company’s stockholders on August 4, 2016 and will be made using the proceeds from the sales of the Crescent Gateway Property and the City Walk Property described above, as well as cash on hand.

The Liquidating Distribution will be reflected in each stockholder’s Form 1099 for the year ending December 31, 2016. As discussed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on June 17, 2016, the Liquidating Distribution will be applied to reduce a stockholders’ basis but not below zero. The amount of distributions in excess of basis will be gain which should be recognized in the year the distribution is received. Stockholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Liquidating Distribution in light of his or her particular investment or tax circumstances.

As previously announced, on January 27, 2016, the Board of Directors approved an estimated net asset value of $8.65 per share (“NAV”) as of December 31, 2015, which was revised to $6.30 per share after giving effect to the first liquidating distribution announced on August 25, 2016. After giving effect to the Liquidating Distribution described above, the Board of Directors has approved a revised NAV of $4.00 per share as of the date of payment of the Liquidating Distribution. The Company plans to announce a new estimated NAV as of December 31, 2016 in the first quarter of 2017.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of net assets of the Company is presented as if the disposition of the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties described in Note 2. “Pro Forma Transactions” had occurred as of September 30, 2016. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of changes in net assets presented for the period from August 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016 and the statements of operations of the Company presented for the seven months ended July 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 (collectively the “Pro Forma Periods”) include certain pro forma adjustments to illustrate the estimated effect of the Company’s dispositions, described in Note 2. “Pro Forma Transactions”, as if they had occurred as of the first day of each of the Pro Forma Periods. The amounts included in the historical columns represent the Company’s historical statement of net assets, statement of changes in net assets and operating results for the respective Pro Forma Periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). Pro forma financial information is intended to provide information about the continuing impact of a transaction by showing how a specific transaction or group of transactions might have affected historical financial statements. Pro forma financial information illustrates only the isolated and objectively measurable (based on historically determined amounts) effects of a particular transaction, and excludes effects based on judgmental estimates of how historical management practices and operating decisions may or may not have changed as a result of the transaction. Therefore, pro forma financial information does not include information about the possible or expected impact of current actions taken by management in response to the pro forma transaction, as if management’s actions were carried out in previous reporting periods.

This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the Company’s financial results or financial position as if the transaction reflected herein had occurred, or been in effect during the Pro Forma Periods. In addition, this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should not be viewed as indicative of the Company’s expected financial results for future periods.

4. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets

The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of changes in net assets represent adjustments needed to the Company’s historical statements of net assets as if the completed disposition of the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties had occurred on the first day of the Pro Forma Period presented.

 

  (a) Net assets in liquidation increased primarily as a result of a change in estimate of closing and transaction costs related to the sale of these properties, offset partially by a reduction in estimated receipts in excess of estimated costs during liquidation.

 

5. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations

The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations represent adjustments needed to the Company’s historical results to remove the historical operating results of the completed sale of the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties as if they had occurred on the first day of the first Pro Forma Period presented.

 

  (a) Except as described in (b) and (c) below, these amounts represent the elimination of the operations on the completed sale of the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties from the historical amounts for the seven months ended July 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015, to give effect to the completed sales of the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties as if the sales occurred on the first day of the first Pro Forma Period presented. The Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties were classified in continuing operations because the proposed dispositions of these properties would neither cause a strategic shift in the Company, nor were they considered to have a major impact on the Company’s business. Therefore, these properties did not qualify as discontinued operations under ASU 2014-08.

 

  (b) Amount includes the elimination of asset management fee expenses, calculated at 0.08334% monthly on the invested assets value of the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties for the seven months ended July 31, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015. These fees were historically paid by the Company to its advisor and would not have been incurred subsequent to the disposition of this asset.

 

  (c) Represents the elimination of interest expense and loan cost amortization to reflect the use of net cash proceeds from the completed sale of the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties, to retire indebtedness that was collateralized the Crescent Gateway and City Walk Properties as if the sale occurred on the first day of the first Pro Forma Period presented.
