Company settles a $99M property loan via foreclosure with releases tied to the asset transfer.

The disclosure describes a settlement on a $99.0 million mortgage loan secured by the 1140 Avenue of the Americas property. After prior default and acceleration notices, the lenders pursued a foreclosure action; the borrower and operating partnership subsidiary are now formally consenting to a receiver and a foreclosure judgment with a public auction of the asset.

A key feature is that, once the property is disposed of in the foreclosure action, the borrower and guarantor will be released from obligations under the loan agreement, notes, mortgage, guaranty and related documents. This shifts resolution from ongoing litigation to an agreed foreclosure outcome, trading the property interest for release of debt-related obligations. However, environmental-related representations and obligations remain carved out, so any environmental issues at the property could still affect the parties as specified.

The court has already approved appointment of a temporary receiver for the property as of September 11, 2025, indicating the foreclosure process is already moving ahead under court supervision. Subsequent company filings may provide more detail on how the loss of this asset and the settlement affect overall portfolio composition and future financial results.
