Adoption of Plan of Liquidation

Note 7 – Adoption of Plan of Liquidation:

On January 14, 2020, the Board adopted a Plan of Voluntary Liquidation with respect to FREIT (the “Plan of Liquidation”), which provides for the voluntary dissolution, termination and liquidation of FREIT by the sale, conveyance, transfer or delivery of all of FREIT’s remaining assets in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan of Liquidation and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations thereunder. The Plan of Liquidation will become effective upon (i) approval by a majority of the votes cast by FREIT’s shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting of FREIT’s shareholders at which a quorum is present and (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement (See Note 6 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details).

Upon the effectiveness of the Plan of Liquidation and pursuant thereto, FREIT is authorized to sell, or otherwise dispose of, all of FREIT’s remaining assets for cash, notes or such other assets, upon such terms as the Board may deem advisable, and without further approval of FREIT’s shareholders.

The Plan of Liquidation provides that the proceeds from sales and dispositions of FREIT’s assets may be utilized to pay or create a reserve fund for the payment of, or otherwise adequately provide for, all of the liabilities and obligations of FREIT, and will pay all expenses incidental to the Plan of Liquidation, including all counsel fees, accountants’ fees, advisory fees and such other fees and taxes as are necessary to effectuate the Plan of Liquidation. In addition, FREIT will distribute the remaining assets of FREIT, either in cash or in kind, to FREIT’s shareholders in cancellation or redemption of their Shares in one or more distributions.

The Plan of Liquidation further provides that upon a determination of the Board, FREIT may transfer any remaining assets, including any reserve fund or other cash on hand, and liabilities to a liquidating trust (or other liquidating entity) and simultaneously with such transfer and assignment, shares of beneficial interests in such liquidating trust (or other liquidating entity) will be deemed distributed to each of FREIT’s shareholders.

Upon the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation, FREIT will cease reporting on the going concern basis of accounting and reporting, and thereafter will report on the liquidation basis of accounting and reporting.
