BOSTON, November 9, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Winthrop Realty Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") announced today the Trust's trustees have approved a liquidating distribution
of $0.90 per common beneficial unit in the Trust payable in cash on November 21, 2017 to holders of record on November 14, 2017.
As the Trust is treated as a partnership for tax purposes, the withholding agent for foreign investors is required to make quarterly
withholding payments to the IRS based on the Trust's "effectively connected income." The Trust maintains its previously
announced estimate that 2017 effectively connected income will be approximately $0.29 per share for the year ended December 31,
2017.
The Trust announced today that the venture
in which the Trust holds an 83.7% interest sold its Mosaic Apartments property located in Houston, Texas to an independent third
party for a gross sale price of approximately $90.5 million. After satisfying the $45.0 million debt encumbering this property
and all closing costs and pro rations associated with the sale, the Trust received a pro-rata distribution of approximately $37.4
million from the sale. The gross sales price is $0.7 million lower than the Trust's estimated net assets in liquidation attributable
to this asset at December 31, 2016.
