(formerly New York Community Bank (“NYCB”))(“Flagstar”), entered on May 8, 2020, matures on June 1, 2032, and bears interest at 3.125% through May 2027 and thereafter at the prime rate plus 2.75%, subject to an option to fix the rate. The note requires interest-only payments through May 2027, and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note prior to the maturity date, subject to certain prepayment premiums, as defined. (b) The $125,000 mortgage note agreement with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., entered into on May 31, 2019, matures on June 6, 2029, bears interest at 3.63% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note within three As of February 23, 2024, The City of New York, a municipal corporation acting through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services ("NYC”), notified us of its intention to terminate its lease at 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025. The lease generally provides for rent payments in the amount of $15,400 million per annum. We may be unable to replace NYC as a tenant or unable to replace it with other commercial tenants at comparable rent rates, may incur substantial costs to improve the vacated space or may have to offer significant inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In connection with the termination of the 250 Livingston Street lease, pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement related to $125,000 building mortgage, we have established a cash management account for the benefit of the lender, into which we will be obligated to deposit all revenue generated by the building at 250 Livingston Street. All amounts remaining in such cash management account after the lender’s allocations set forth in the loan agreement will be disbursed to us once the tenant cure conditions are satisfied under the loan agreement. As of February 14, 2025, we are required to deposit into such cash management account approximately $5,684 upon demand by the lender. If we are unable to replace the NYC lease at comparable rents, we may not be able to cure the conditions listed in the loan agreement. If the excess cash is not released to us, it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders. On January 2, 2025, the Company was notified that the loan servicing of the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property was transferred, at our request, to LNR Partners (“LNR”) to serve as special servicer in order for us to engage in negotiations on a modification of our loan. On January 6, 2025, the Company and LNR signed a Pre-Negotiation Letter Agreement to discuss our request for a reduction in the loan. These negotiations continue and there can be no guarantee that they will conclude with an agreement. On October 10, 2024, the Company guaranteed an agreement between the Company's subsidiary, 250 Livingston Owner LLC, and IronHound Management Company LLC, whose principal is the Company's director Roberto Verrone, to provide consulting services regarding the loan related to the 250 Livingston Street property. The initial fee paid upon the agreement is $125 and the agreement also includes restructuring and other fees payable upon certain loan modifications. The arrangement was approved by an independent committee of the Company’s board of directors. (c) The $100,000 mortgage note agreement with Citi Real Estate Funding Inc., entered into on February 18, 2021 matures on March 6, 2031, bears interest at 3.21% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note within three months of maturity, without a prepayment premium. The 141 Livingston Street lease expires on December 27, 2025, and if NYC were to decide not to renew or extend such lease on its stated termination date, pursuant to the terms of the lease, we would be at risk of not being able to replace NYC as a tenant, leasing the space below the current rates, incurring costs to improve the space or offer other inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. The Company and NYC are in the process of negotiating the terms of a five-year extension of the current lease upon its expiration in December 2025. There can be no assurance that the negotiations will conclude with an agreement. Our subsidiary, 141 Livingston Owner LLC (the “Borrower”) and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. entered into the loan agreement related to a $100,000 loan. The loan is evidenced by promissory mortgage notes and secured by the 141 Livingston Street property. The Company and our Operating Partnership subsidiary serve as limited guarantors of certain obligations under the loan, including those related to the reserve monthly deposit discussed below. If the Company is not able to extend or replace the NYC lease at the 141 Livingston Street property for a minimum of a five-year term, the Company will be required to either fund a reserve account in the amount of $10,000 payable in equal monthly payments over the 18 months after lease expiration or deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of $10,000. On October 28, 2024, the Company received notice that, as of October 7, 2024, the servicing of the mortgage notes was transferred to a special servicer (the “Special Servicer”) due to the Company’s alleged failure to make certain required payments under the loan agreement, including, but not limited to, the reserve deposit starting on July 7, 2024. The Special Servicer demanded that the Company pay (i) $2,200 of reserve payments into a reserve account immediately (for July-October 2024) and continued monthly payments of $555 for an additional 14 months, (ii) $1,200 of default interest and late charges through October 7, 2024, and (iii) an additional $10 per diem interest for each day thereafter. On November 11, 2024, the Special Servicer notified the Borrower that, due to its alleged event of default under the Loan Agreement, as a result of the failure to make the payments described above, the mortgage notes have been accelerated, and all amounts under the loan agreement were due and payable. Such amounts include, but are not limited to, $100,000 principal amount of the mortgage notes, approximately $5,000 of default yield maintenance premium, $10,000 aggregate reserve deposit, and the above-described penalty default interest and penalties. The Company believes that (i) the Company has made timely payments under the loan agreement, (ii) the servicer and the Special Servicer have misinterpreted the terms of the loan agreement requiring monthly reserve payments beginning on July 7, 2024, (iii) the Company has no current obligation to make such reserve payments under the loan agreement and (iv) The Company should not be obligated to pay the default interest and late charges. The company and the Special Servicer have entered into a pre-negotiation agreement and as such are engaged in good faith discussions regarding the terms of the loan agreement related to the monthly reserve deposit, among other matters. However, if the Company is unable to resolve this matter in a manner favorable to us, the lender may also seek to exercise any of its other rights or remedies under the loan agreement. On December 18, 2024, the Company received notice from the Special Servicer that due to its allegation that Clipper Realty Inc. (the “Guarantor”) did not maintain a net worth of not less than $100 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, as required under the loan agreement, the Company is in default on the loan. The Company replied to the Special Servicer disputing such calculation and alleging that the Special Servicer did not calculate net worth in a reasonable manner. The Company provided the Special Servicer with its own calculation of net worth that shows a net worth in excess of the required amount. The Company awaits a response from the Special Servicer. On January 21, 2025, the Company received notice from the Special Servicer alleging that certain elements of our insurance on the building at 141 Livingston Street are not in compliance with the loan agreement requirements, including, but not limited to, due to a deductible in excess of what is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement and the use of an insurance carrier with a rating agency rating below that which is permitted under the terms of the loan agreement. (d) The $360,000 loan with Deutsche Bank, entered into on February 21, 2018, matures on March 6, 2028, bears interest at 4.506% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The Company has the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the loan prior to the maturity date, subject to a prepayment premium if it occurs prior to December 6, 2027. (e) The $61,000 mortgage note agreement with Capital One Multifamily Finance LLC matures on July 1, 2028, and bears interest at 3.68%. The note required interest-only payments through July 2017, and monthly principal and interest payments of $321 thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Company has the option to prepay the note prior to the maturity date, subject to a prepayment premium. (f) The $82,000 mortgage note agreement with MetLife Investment Management, entered into on November 8, 2019, matures on December 1, 2029, bears interest at 3.53% and requires interest-only payments for the entire term. The Company has the option, commencing on January 1, 2024, to prepay the note prior to the maturity date, subject to a prepayment premium if it occurs prior to September 2, 2029. (g) There is $31,437 in mortgage debt secured by 10 West 65th Street as of December 31, 2024, in the form of a mortgage note to NYCB, entered into in connection with the acquisition of the property. The note matures on November 1, 2027. Through October 2022 the Company paid a fixed interest rate of 3.375% and thereafter was scheduled to pay at the prime rate plus 2.75%, subject to an option to fix the rate. On August 26, 2022 the Company and NYCB amended the note to replace prime plus 2.75% rate with SOFR plus 2.5% (7.88% at December 31, 2024). The note required interest-only payments through November 2019, and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule. We have the option to prepay all (but not less than all) of the unpaid balance of the note prior to the maturity date, subject to certain prepayment premiums, as defined. (h) On December 24, 2019, the Company entered into a $18,600 mortgage note agreement with CIT Bank, N.A., related to the 1010 Pacific Street acquisition.
