Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.
     On August 25, 2010, in connection with the determination by Presidential Realty Corporation (“Presidential”) to submit a plan of liquidation to its stockholders for approval at its next annual meeting, each of Mr. Jeffrey F. Joseph, President and Chief Executive Officer; Thomas Viertel, Chief Financial Officer; and Steven Baruch, Executive Vice President, entered into an amendment (the “Amendments”) to his employment agreement to reduce the compensation otherwise payable to him upon termination of his employment. The Amendments provide that if the respective employments of Messrs. Joseph, Viertel and Baruch are terminated, in lieu of all amounts payable under their employment agreements (which excludes the amounts payable under Presidential’s defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”)), they will be entitled to receive $1,106,700, $745,400 and $712,900, respectively (each, the “Severance Amount”). The Severance Amount will be paid promptly after Presidential has fully funded its Pension Plan and has at least $2 million of available liquidity as determined pursuant to the Amendments (or $1.5 million, if the Company’s assets have previously been distributed to a liquidating trust pursuant to the plan of liquidation); provided that, commencing with the month following termination, each of Messrs. Joseph, Viertel and Baruch will be entitled to payments of $9,500 per month for the first 18 months following termination and thereafter at $10,000 per month, which payments will reduce the final lump sum payment of his respective Severance Amount. Payments under the employment agreements, as amended, do not affect payments under the Pension Plan.
     The foregoing summary of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Amendments, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01.   Other Events
     Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of a press release issued by Presidential, dated August 26, 2010, announcing that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for mailing to its stockholders of record as of September 7, 2010, a preliminary proxy statement seeking approval, at an annual meeting to be held on October 26, 2010, among other things, of the orderly liquidation and dissolution of the Company.
