Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On January 3, 2017, New York REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) held its special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on a proposal to approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation Proposal”). The Company’s stockholders approved the Plan of Liquidation Proposal.

The full results of the matter voted on at the Special Meeting are set forth below:

Proposal 1 – Plan of Liquidation Proposal

Because there were sufficient votes from the Company’s stockholders to approve the Plan of Liquidation Proposal, it was not necessary to hold a vote on the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies.

On January 3, 2017, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing the results of the Special Meeting.
