Dissolution of the Registrant

 

On September 5, 2018, in anticipation of the Sale of the Property and the subsequent dissolution of the Registrant, the Registrant and FSP Property Management LLC, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), formed FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) by entering into that certain Liquidating Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), for the creation and operation of the Trust. The Trust’s activities are restricted to the conservation and protection of the assets to be transferred by the Registrant to the Trust and the administration thereof, including the payment of any liabilities, costs and expenses of the Registrant or the Trust. The Trust will terminate upon the earlier of the distribution of all of the Trust’s assets in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, or the expiration of a period of three years from the effective date of the Trust. The existence of the Trust may, however, be extended for up to two additional one-year periods in the Trustee’s reasonable discretion. The beneficial interests in the Trust are not transferable except by will, intestate succession or by operation of law. Any beneficial interests in the Trust transferred by will, intestate succession or by operation of law will thereafter be subject to such transfer restrictions. The Trust Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

On September 25, 2018, the Registrant filed its certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to the plan of dissolution previously approved by the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Registrant (the “Plan of Dissolution”). The certificate of dissolution became effective as of the close of business on September 25, 2018, at which time the Registrant’s stock transfer books were closed. Following the filing of the certificate of dissolution, the Registrant continues to wind up its business in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution.

 

Following the filing of the certificate of dissolution, on September 25, 2018, in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution, the Registrant transferred all of its assets to the Trust and the Trust assumed all of the Registrant’s obligations and liabilities. On or about September 27, 2018, the Trust expects to make an initial liquidating distribution in the amount of $71,500 per share of preferred stock to holders of record of issued and outstanding preferred stock of the Registrant as of the close of business on September 25, 2018, who are deemed to be beneficiaries of the Trust. The Trust will retain the reserves deemed necessary to settle its outstanding obligations and fund future expenses in connection with carrying out the Plan of Dissolution, and may make one or more future liquidating distributions to its beneficiaries to the extent it determines there are excess funds to make further distributions. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient funds available to make any such future distributions.

 

Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
