Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Gyrodyne, LLC, through its wholly owned subsidiary GSD Flowerfield LLC, entered into a Second Amendment dated January 6, 2026 to its Purchase and Sale Agreement effective July 30, 2025 with B2K Smithtown LLC. The amendment confirms that, except as expressly changed, all other terms of the original purchase agreement remain in full force and effect.

The company notes an unresolved third-party covenant issue connected to this transaction and states it is premature to determine how this will affect the timeline or the value of its net assets in liquidation. Gyrodyne also highlights a broad set of risks around selling its remaining Flowerfield and Cortlandt Manor properties, ongoing litigation including an Article 78 proceeding, regulatory contingencies, activist shareholder activity, and macro factors such as inflation, higher interest rates, and the recent banking crisis.

Insights

Amended sale terms introduce uncertainty around Gyrodyne’s liquidation timing and outcomes.

Gyrodyne, LLC has amended its Purchase and Sale Agreement between subsidiary GSD Flowerfield LLC and B2K Smithtown LLC via a Second Amendment dated January 6, 2026. The text confirms that, aside from the specified changes, all prior terms remain effective, indicating continuity of the underlying transaction rather than a replacement.

The company points to an unresolved third-party covenant issue tied to this agreement and explicitly says it is premature to assess the impact on both the liquidation timeline and net asset values in liquidation. For a business focused on selling remaining properties and distributing proceeds, this kind of covenant question can influence when and how cash is ultimately realized.

Gyrodyne also lists multiple risks affecting property sales, including the Article 78 proceeding, possible years-long regulatory contingencies in purchase and sale agreements, activist shareholder actions, and broader factors such as inflation, elevated interest rates, and the recent banking crisis. Future outcomes for the Flowerfield and Cortlandt Manor dispositions will depend on how these legal, regulatory, and market risks evolve and how the covenant issue is resolved.

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
GSD Flowerfield LLC, a New York limited liability company (“GSD”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Gyrodyne, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Company”), and B2K Smithtown LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“B2K”), have entered into a Second Amendment dated as of January 6, 2026 (the “Second Amendment”) to the Purchase and Sale Agreement effective as of July 30, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”) between GSD and B2K.
 
Among other provisions, the Second Amendment provides as follows:
 
 
On-Site Improvements. At closing, GSD will credit B2K $1,520,222 toward the purchase price for specified on-site improvements to Lots 1 and 3 of Flowerfield, with no increase if additional work is required. B2K will be responsible for constructing all common facilities and offsite improvements, while GSD will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate by providing access at no cost to GSD. The Company is reviewing the impact of the aforementioned purchase price credit for on-site improvements to determine the impact, if any, on the overall value of the Flowerfield property.
 
 
Investigation Period. The parties acknowledge that the Investigation Period (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), as extended, has expired and that B2K’s right to terminate the Purchase Agreement under Section 3.1(D) of the Purchase Agreement is null and void and of no further force nor effect.
 
 
Title Objections. B2K delivered a title objection notice dated December 15, 2025 pursuant to Section 1.2 of the Purchase Agreement, to which GSD responded by letter dated December 19, 2025. The Amendment provides that B2K accepts GSD’s response, with GSD obligated only to the actions stated therein or required by the Purchase Agreement. The parties have until February 5, 2026 to resolve certain third party land use covenants; if agreement is not reached, B2K may terminate the Purchase Agreement on or before February 6, 2026 and receive a return of its deposit, with the Purchase Agreement becoming void and of no force and effect. If B2K does not timely terminate, it is deemed to have accepted the covenants as recorded.
 
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Second Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement are ratified, confirmed and remain in full force and effect.
 
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in it is entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
 

 
The Company believes it is premature to determine the impact on the timeline and on the value of net assets in liquidation as the resolution to the aforementioned third-party covenant issue is not known and therefore not estimable.

These and other matters the Company discusses in this Current Report on Form 8-K may cause actual results to differ from those the Company describes.
