ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Trinity Place Holdings Inc., which we refer to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as “Trinity, ” “we,” “our,” or “us”, is a real estate holding, investment, development and asset management company. As part of a series of transactions described below, on February 14, 2024, TPHGreenwich Holdings LLC (“TPHGreenwich”), a previously 100% owned subsidiary of ours, became owned 95% by us, with an affiliate of the lender under our corporate credit facility (the “Corporate Credit Facility” or “CCF”) owning a 5% interest in, and acting as manager of, such entity. The Company’s real estate assets and related liabilities were transferred to TPHGreenwich on February 14, 2024 and TPHGreenwich now holds, subject to the subsequent sales as described below, (i) the property located at 77 Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan (“77 Greenwich”), which is substantially complete as a mixed-use project consisting of a 90-unit residential condominium tower, retail space and a New York City elementary school (ii) a 105-unit, 12-story multi-family property located at 237 11th Street in Brooklyn, New York (“237 11th”), and (iii) a property occupied by retail tenants in Paramus, New Jersey (the “Paramus Property).
On February 4, 2025, TPHGreenwich sold the Paramus Property for a gross sales price of $15.6 million. After repayment of the underlying loan of $11.7 million and closing costs, TPHGreenwich received approximately $2.9 million in net sale cash proceeds. The Company’s guarantee of the loan underlying the Paramus Property was retired upon the sale.
On March 14, 2025, TPHGreenwich sold 237 11th for a gross sales price of $68.5 million. After repayment of the underlying loan of $60.0 million and closing costs, TPHGreenwich received approximately $6.0 million in net sale cash proceeds.
We also control a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, a legacy of our predecessor, Syms Corp. (“Syms”), including FilenesBasement.com, our rights to the Stanley Blacker® brand, as well as the intellectual property associated with the Running of the Brides® event and the An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer® slogan.
Recapitalization Transactions
On February 14, 2024, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2024 (as amended, the “Legacy Stock Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, TPHS Lender LLC, the lender under the Company’s Corporate Credit Facility (“TPHS Lender”) and TPHS Investor LLC, an affiliate of TPHS Lender (the “JV Investor”, and together with the TPHS Lender, the “Legacy Investor”), pursuant to which (i) Legacy Investor purchased 25,112,245 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Legacy Investor Shares”) for a purchase price of $0.30 per share, (ii) the Company and the JV Investor entered into an amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement of TPHGreenwich (the “JV Operating Agreement”), pursuant to which the JV Investor was appointed the initial manager of, and acquired a five percent (5%) interest in, TPHGreenwich, as described in more detail below, and TPHGreenwich continues to own, indirectly, all of the real property assets and liabilities formerly held by the Company, and (iii) TPHGreenwich entered into an asset management agreement (the “Asset Management Agreement”) with a newly formed subsidiary of the Company (the “TPH Manager”), pursuant to which TPHGreenwich hired the TPH Manager to act as the asset manager for TPHGreenwich for an annual management fee, as described in more detail below (collectively, the “Recapitalization Transactions”).
Under the Recapitalization Transactions, the real estate assets and related liabilities as well as the Corporate Credit Facility were deconsolidated and became part of TPHGreenwich, with the Company retaining the intellectual property and a 95% equity method investment in TPHGreenwich. In addition, the maturity date of each of the mortgage loan agreement (the “77G Mortgage Loan”) and mezzanine loan agreement (the “77G Mezzanine Loan”) for 77 Greenwich, both of which were assumed by TPHGreenwich, was extended to October 23, 2025 with an option to extend for an additional year, and the maturity date of the Corporate Credit Facility was extended to June 30, 2026.
In connection with the Steel Partners transaction in February 2025 (as defined and described below), the Legacy Stock Purchase Agreement was partially terminated by the Company and the TPHS Lender (including and cancellation of the TPHS Lender’s right to receive penny warrants of the Company equivalent to 5% of the Company’s Common Stock), except for provisions of the Legacy Stock Purchase Agreement which would cause an impairment or termination of the TPHS Lender’s representation and warranty insurance policy obtained.
Joint Venture Agreement
At the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the Company and the JV Investor entered into the JV Operating Agreement, with the Company owning 95% of the ownership interests in TPHGreenwich and the JV Investor owning 5% of the ownership interests in TPHGreenwich. Distributions under the JV Operating Agreement first go to the Legacy Investor until the JV Investor has received its initial distribution amount in full (which initial distribution amount is the sum of (v) all amounts due under the CCF and 77G Mezzanine Loan, (w) all amounts due in connection with any additional TPHGreenwich debt financing provided by the Legacy Investor or its affiliate, (x) Legacy Investor’s initial capital contribution, and (y) any additional capital contributions made by Legacy Investor), then distributed pro rata pursuant to the members’ respective percentage interests in TPHGreenwich.
JV Investor, in its capacity as manager of TPHGreenwich, will manage, control and conduct the affairs of TPHGreenwich, subject only to certain major decisions set forth in the JV Operating Agreement. Major decisions are (1) entering into any transaction with or for the benefit of Legacy Investor or its affiliate, other than any transaction involving Legacy Investor or its affiliate providing debt and/or equity to the Company as set forth in the JV Operating Agreement or any arms-length transaction, (2) any amendment or modification of the JV Operating Agreement or any operating agreement of a subsidiary company of TPHGreenwich, or any other agreement with the Company or a subsidiary company of TPHGreenwich if such amendment would materially adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Company in a manner that is disproportionate to the JV Investor, (3) any tax or accounting matter decision relating to net operating losses (“NOLs”) that would be materially adverse to the Company but not the JV Investor, and (4) the admission of any other member to TPHGreenwich or its subsidiary except as permitted under the JV Operating Agreement.
Under the JV Operating Agreement, the Company retained oversight of the Paramus Property and had the sole and exclusive right to manage and make decisions regarding the Paramus Property, subject to (i) the Company Investor’s right to approve any purchase and sale agreement for the Paramus Property that may be entered into in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement; (ii) the JV Investor’s right to approve any material modifications of such purchase and sale agreement for the Paramus Property, and (iii) the JV Investor’s right to approve any dissolution of the owner of the Paramus Property. The Paramus Property was subsequently sold on February 4, 2025.
The Company’s liability under any cause of action arising from or in connection with the JV Operating Agreement is limited to its interest in TPHGreenwich.
In connection with the Steel Partners Transaction (as defined and described below), the Company and the JV Investor entered into an Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement (the “Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement”) that among other things, removed any Company decision-making and/or consent rights with respect to the Paramus Property and TPHGreenwich and (b) released the TPHGreenwich’s obligation to pay, call capital and/or otherwise reserve for any such D&O insurance coverage (including insurance tail coverage) and the Legacy’s Investor’s obligation to hold back proceeds from the sale of property for any insurance policies of the Company. In addition, Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement provides that the Company can, at any time after May 19, 2025, convey all of the Company’s 95% ownership interest in TPHGreenwich and its right to distributions under the Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement, into a trust established for the benefit of the Company’s shareholders of record on a date to be determined.
Asset Management Agreement
At the closing of the Recapitalization Transactions, the TPH Manager entered into the Asset Management Agreement with TPHGreenwich. The Asset Management Agreement provides that the TPH Manager agrees to provide certain services in connection with the construction (with respect to 77 Greenwich), management, operation, supervision and maintenance of 77 Greenwich and 237 11th. To compensate TPH Manager for such services, TPHGreenwich provides for an annual
management fee to TPH Manager equal to the greater of (x) $400,000 or (y) 1.25% of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the CCF plus (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the 77G Mezzanine Loan, plus (iii) the principal balance of any future fundings of any type under the CCF and/or 77G Mezzanine Loan.
Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, in the event Mr. Messinger failed to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the TPH Manager pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement, TPHGreenwich agreed its sole and exclusive remedy would be to terminate TPH Manager without cause on 30 days’ notice. As noted below and previously disclosed, Mr. Messinger transitioned from Chief Executive Officer of the Company (i.e., TPH Manager) to consultant to TPHGreenwich in August 2024.
On April 26, 2024, the Company and Mr. Messinger entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to Mr. Messinger’s employment agreement, dated as of October 1, 2013, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”), and TPHGreenwich and Mr. Messinger entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”). Under the Amendment, the Company agreed to make the following payments to Mr. Messinger in exchange for Mr. Messinger’s agreement to continue his employment as chief executive officer of the Company until the later of July 31, 2024 or the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, unless extended by the parties (the “Termination Date”), and that he will no longer have the right to terminate the Employment Agreement with Good Reason: (i) $300,000 within seven days of execution of the Amendment, (ii) $300,000 on August 1, 2024 and (iii) $300,000 on November 1, 2024. In addition, on the Termination Date, Mr. Messinger’s unvested restricted stock unit grants vested, and following the Termination Date, the Company will reimburse Mr. Messinger for COBRA continuation coverage for a period of 18 months. These payments, as well as the payments under the Consulting Agreement, will constitute full settlement with regards to any severance payable to Mr. Messinger under the Employment Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, Mr. Messinger had received 100% of these payments.
Upon the Termination Date, the Consulting Agreement automatically became effective. Under the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Messinger has agreed to provide certain consulting services as an independent contractor to TPHGreenwich related to the properties owned by TPHGreenwich, in exchange for certain consulting payments as follows: upon the earlier to occur of June 1, 2026 and (i) the sale of the Company’s Paramus property, $200,000, (ii) the sale of 237 11th, located at 237 11th Street, Brooklyn, New York, $800,000, (iii) the receipt of the final certificate of occupancy at 77 Greenwich, located at 77 Greenwich Street, New York, New York, $150,000, (iv) the receipt of the agreement by the builder to complete the façade remediation at 77 Greenwich, $150,000, (v) final completion of the façade remediation at 77 Greenwich, $200,000 and (vi) final resolution of the litigation related to the 237 11th, $400,000. The timing of the payments is conditioned on the existence of Available Cash (as defined in TPHGreenwich’s operating agreement) sufficient to make such payments; provided that TPHGreenwich must create a special reserve for payment of such amounts using the portion of the proceeds of the sale of the 237 11th or 237 11th Litigation distributed to TPHGreenwich by its subsidiaries which constitutes Available Cash. The Consulting Agreement will remain in effect until June 1, 2026, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms.
In connection with the Steel Partners Transaction (as defined and described below), the parties to the Asset Management Agreement mutually agreed to terminate the Asset Management Agreement, effective upon 45 days following the closing of the Steel Partners Transaction, or April 4, 2025. TPH Manager has agreed to provide TPHGreenwich transitionary services pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement through the termination date.
Steel Partners Transaction
On February 5, 2025 (the “SPA Effective Date”), the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Steel Stock Purchase Agreement”) with TPHS Lender and Steel IP Investments, LLC (the “Steel Purchaser”), an affiliate of Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (“Steel Partners”), pursuant to which the Steel Purchaser agreed to purchase from TPHS Lender, and TPHS Lender agreed to sell to Steel Purchaser, 25,862,245 shares of Common Stock of the Company (such shares are referred to collectively herein as the “Steel Shares”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Steel Stock Purchase Agreement. The aggregate consideration payable to TPHS Lender was $2,586,200 for the Steel Shares and certain agreements pursuant to the Steel Stock Purchase Agreement.
On February 18, 2025 (the “Steel Closing”), at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Steel Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company, TPHS and the Steel Purchaser entered into certain ancillary agreements referenced above and below, including the Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement and the Steel Purchaser Stockholders’ Agreement. The transactions contemplated by the Steel Stock Purchase Agreement are herein referred to as the “Steel Partners Transaction.” The Company consummated the Steel Partner Transaction with a view toward, among other things, achieving significant operational synergies, including through the use of Steel Partners’ corporate services and participation in Steel Partners operational excellence programs.
Steel Purchaser Stockholders’ Agreement
On the SPA Effective Date and in connection with the Steel Partners Transaction, the Company and the Steel Purchaser entered into a shareholder rights agreement (the “Steel Purchaser Stockholders’ Agreement”), which became effective upon the Steel Closing.
The Steel Purchaser Stockholders’ Agreement contains various covenants including, among others:
● The Company will take all necessary corporate actions and obtain all necessary approvals so that, as of the Steel Closing, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) consists of five (5) members, who will initially be: (i) Jack L. Howard (Chairman), (ii)Alexander C. Matina, (iii) Joseph Martin, (iv) Jeffrey S. Wald, and (v) Joanne M. Minieri. Subsequently, the Company has agreed that so long as Steel Purchaser owns at least 20% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, the Company will take all action reasonably necessary to cause the Board to remain at five (5) members, which shall include (A) one (1) director who shall qualify as independent and is mutually agreed upon by Steel Purchaser and the Company and (B) two (2) directors designated solely by Steel Purchaser.
● As of the Steel Closing, Matthew Messinger will act as an observer of the Board until the earlier of (i) his voluntary resignation as an observer of the Board and (ii) the Board’s determination to remove Mr. Messinger as an observer of the Board.
● So long as at least ten percent (10%) of the Company’s total issued and outstanding Common Stock continues to be traded on OTC Pink Market, the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to, and Steel Purchaser agrees to provide management services to assist the Company to, prepare and publish the information as contemplated by Rule 144(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including: (i) within 45 days following each quarter of each fiscal year and (ii) within 90 days following each fiscal year of the Company, (A) a consolidated balance sheet, (B) consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and of cash flows, and, as applicable, a comparison between (x) the actual amounts as of and for such period and (y) the comparable amounts for the prior corresponding period, with an explanation of any material differences between such amounts, and (C) a consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity; in each case, prepared in accordance with GAAP and, in the case of annual financial statements, audited and certified by independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company.
● On or prior to the Steel Closing, the Company will amend its bylaws (as currently in effect as of the date hereof, the “Bylaws”), to provide for the ability of shareholders holding at least an aggregate of 15% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock to call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Bylaws Amendment”). Following the effectiveness of the Bylaws Amendment, the Company will not further amend the Bylaws without the prior written consent of the Steel Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
As previously disclosed, the changes to the Board discussed above became effective upon the Steel Closing. In addition, the Bylaws Amendment was effective as of closing.
Secured Promissory Note
In connection with the Steel Partners Transaction, on February 18, 2025, the Company issued a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Steel Promissory Note”) to Steel Connect, LLC (the “Steel Lender”), an affiliate of Steel Partners and Steel Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5.0 million from the Steel Lender. The Steel Promissory Note is secured by a pledge of all of the assets of the Company. As of March 24, 2025, $1.0 million was outstanding under the Steel Promissory Note.
Management’s Plans and Objectives
Following the Recapitalization Transactions and the Steel Transaction, our primary business is owning a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, as well as a 95% interest in TPHGreenwich which is accounted for as an equity method investment. As discussed herein, we may distribute the interest in TPHGreenwich to our shareholders in 2025. At the same time, we are implementing various cost efficiencies using proven business optimization practices in partnership with Steel Partners and exploring potential business expansions and alternatives in order to maximize stockholder value. These may include, for example, acquisition of additional business assets, contribution by Steel or a third party of additional business assets to Trinity, or other business combinations. There is no assurance that we will successfully complete any such acquisition, contribution, or combination, or that any such transaction will be successful.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Competition
The markets in which the properties owned through our investment in TPHGreenwich are located are inherently competitive. With respect to the operating properties currently located in Brooklyn, New York, TPHGreenwich is competing for some of the same tenants, contractors and lenders. Competitive factors with respect to 77 Greenwich may have a more material effect on TPHGreenwich as it is its most significant real estate asset. Various municipal entities are making and have indicated an intent to continue to make significant investments in the immediate vicinity of 77 Greenwich to support the growth of the downtown Manhattan neighborhood as a vibrant 24/7 community to work, live and visit. Several privately funded commercial and residential developments have been or are being constructed or have been proposed and office buildings are being converted to residential use to take advantage of the increasing desirability of the neighborhood. The impact of these changing supply and demand characteristics is uncertain, and they could positively or negatively impact the plan to maximize the value of 77 Greenwich.
Regulatory Matters
Environmental Compliance
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and remediate hazardous or toxic substances at a property, and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by the parties in connection with the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator had knowledge of, or was responsible for, the release of the hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.
Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations require abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling, the cost of which may be substantial for certain redevelopment projects that a potential purchaser would want to undertake with respect to any particular parcel of real estate we owned. Such laws, ordinances and regulations also govern emissions from and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. Federal and state laws also regulate the operation and removal of underground storage tanks. In connection with the ownership and management of certain properties, we and/or TPHGreenwich could be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to these regulated substances or related claims.
Zoning and Planning
In connection with any development or redevelopment of the properties, TPHGreenwich will be required to comply with applicable zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other laws and regulations. In many cases, TPHGreenwich is and will continue to be required to obtain governmental permits, site plan approvals and/or other authorizations, or seek variances, prior to proceeding with planned development or other activities.
The Zoning Resolution of the City of New York, effective as of December 15, 1961, as amended (the “Zoning Resolution”), governs the use and development of properties in New York City. Properties in New York City may be developed on an as-of-right basis, i.e. without any discretionary city approvals, unless the proposed use or bulk does not comply with the applicable provisions of the Zoning Resolution. Discretionary approvals may be requested from the New York City Planning Commission or the Board of Standards and Appeals. Discretionary approvals are subject to hearing and public participation requirements and are also subject to environmental review pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, as implemented by the City Environmental Quality Review.
Intellectual Property Assets
We control a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, a legacy of our predecessor, Syms, including FilenesBasement.com, our rights to the Stanley Blacker® brand, as well as the intellectual property associated with the Running of the Brides® event and An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer® slogan. In addition, various trademarks are controlled and/or owned by us, including “Filene’s Basement”®, “Stanley Blacker”®, “Running of the Brides”® and “An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer,”® and have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Human Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of four employees, all of which were full-time in executive, management, finance, accounting, operations and administrative capacities.
General Information about Trinity

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business, operations and financial condition are subject to various risks. Some of these risks are described below, and stockholders should take such risks into account when evaluating us or any investment decision involving us. This section does not describe all risks that may be applicable to us, our industry or our business, and it is intended only as a summary of certain material risk factors. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business. More detailed information concerning certain of the risk factors described below is contained in other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Stockholders should also refer to the other information contained in our periodic reports, including the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section, our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section for a further discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our business.
Risk Factors Related to the Company
After the Steel Transaction, we have limited cash resources, our only source of funds is the Steel Promissory Note, and are reliant on external sources of capital to fund ongoing operations.
Our prior revenue generating activities did not produce sufficient funds for profitable operations and working capital. Accordingly, our continued operation will require raising additional capital on acceptable terms. We have relied and will continue to rely substantially upon equity and debt financing and draws under the Steel Promissory Note to fund our ongoing operations. There can be no assurance that additional sources of capital will be available to us on commercially favorable terms. In addition, our inability to access the capital markets on favorable terms, because of a low stock price, unfavorable market conditions or otherwise, will affect our ability to execute our business plan as scheduled. If we are unable to raise capital on market terms, our ability to run our operations and/or grow through new acquisitions and investments, and thus become profitable, will be materially adversely impacted.
We have not generated an operating profit and consequently our business plan is difficult to evaluate and our long-term viability cannot be assured.
Since our formation, we have generated limited revenues and had negative cash flow from operations. The development of our business plan has required, and may continue to require, substantial capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that our business will be successful, that we will be able to achieve or maintain a profitable operation, or that we will not encounter unforeseen difficulties that may deplete our capital resources more rapidly than anticipated. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from our operating activities.
We are subject to risks associated with TPHGreenwich, including that we may not receive any distributions from TPHGreenwich.
Joint venture investments involve risks not otherwise present for investments made or owned solely, including the possibility that our joint venture partner might become bankrupt, or may take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives. We own a 95% interest in TPHGreenwich, with the JV Investor owning the other 5% interest. However, under the Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement, JV Investor, in its capacity as manager of TPHGreenwich, manages, controls and conducts the affairs of TPHGreenwich, subject only to certain limited major decisions set forth in the Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement. In addition, distributions under the Amended and Restated JV Operating Agreement first will be paid to the Investor until it has received its initial distribution amount in full (including, but not limited to, all amounts due under the CCF and 77G Mezzanine Loan), following which such distributions will be distributed pro rata pursuant to the members’ respective percentage interests in TPHGreenwich.
The Company may not receive any distributions from TPHGreenwich, including if the JV Investor does not receive repayment of its initial distribution amount in full or if the Asset Management Agreement is terminated, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
TPHGreenwich’s revenues and the value of its portfolio are affected by a number of factors that affect investments in leased commercial and residential real estate generally.
We are subject to the general risks of investing in leasable real estate in connection with TPHGreenwich’s existing retail and residential properties. These risks include the ability of TPHGreenwich to secure leases with new tenants, renew leases with existing tenants, the non-performance of lease obligations by tenants, leasehold improvements that will be costly or difficult to remove or certain upgrades that may be needed should it become necessary to re-rent the leased space for other uses, rights of termination of leases due to events of casualty or condemnation affecting the leased space or the property or due to interruption of the tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the leased premises, and obligations of a landlord to restore the leased premises or the property following events of casualty or condemnation, and potentially, as occurred at 237 11th, damages arising from defective construction. The occurrence of any of these events, particularly with respect to leases at the commercial real estate property, or issues that affect numerous residential units, could adversely impact, and in the case of 237 11th, has adversely impacted, our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
In addition, if TPHGreenwich’s competitors offer space at net effective rental rates below our current net effective rental rates or market rates, TPHGreenwich may lose current or potential tenants to other properties in our markets. Additionally,
TPHGreenwich may need to reduce net effective rental rates below current rates or offer incentives in order to retain tenants upon expiration of their leases or to attract new tenants. Our results of operations and cash flow may be adversely affected as a result of these factors.
The loss of key personnel upon whom we depend to operate our business would adversely affect our business.
Our ability to continue to operate depends in large part on our ability to retain key personnel. Key personnel who have already left or are scheduled to leave would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to utilize our NOLs to reduce future tax payments may be limited as a result of future transactions.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $329.0 million of federal NOLs and $291.3 million of state NOLs and New York State and New York City prior NOL conversion subtraction pools of approximately $27.9 million and $22.9 million, respectively. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), limits the ability of a company to utilize its NOLs after an ownership change. For purposes of Section 382, an ownership change occurs if the percentage of the stock of the company owned by persons holding 5% or more of the stock increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three year lookback period. Generally, if an ownership change occurs, the annual taxable income limitation on our use of NOLs is equal to the product of the applicable long-term tax exempt rate and the value of our stock immediately before the ownership change. If we undergo an ownership change, our ability to utilize our NOLs would be subject to significant limitations. In addition, the 2017 tax legislation known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) limited the deductibility of NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80 percent of taxable income (computed without regard to the net operating loss deduction) for the taxable year, and eliminated the ability of taxpayers to carryback such NOLs to prior years.
Political and economic uncertainty, and developments related to outbreaks of contagious diseases could have an adverse effect on us.
We cannot predict how current and future political and economic uncertainty, including uncertainty related to taxation and increases in interest rates, will affect TPHGreenwich’s critical tenants, joint venture partners, lenders, financial institutions and general economic conditions, including consumer confidence and the volatility of the stock market and real estate market. In addition, we cannot predict the potential outbreak of contagious diseases in the future.
These issues may cause consumers to postpone discretionary spending in response to tighter credit, reduced consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior, resulting in a downturn in the business of TPHGreenwich’s tenants and an impact on potential purchases of our residential condominium units. In the event political and economic uncertainty results in financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets or significant financial service institution failures, there could be a new or incremental tightening in the credit markets, low liquidity, and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, currency and equity markets. Each of these could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Breaches of information technology systems could materially harm our business and reputation.
We collect and retain on information technology systems certain financial, personal and other sensitive information provided by third parties, vendors and employees. We also rely on information technology systems for the collection and distribution of funds.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information or the unauthorized distribution of funds. Any loss of this information or unauthorized distribution of funds as a result of a breach of information technology systems may result in loss of funds to which we are entitled, legal liability and costs (including damages and penalties), as well as damage to our reputation, that could materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance.
We may be deemed to be a transient investment company.
We are not engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and we do not hold ourselves out as being engaged in those activities. However, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, a company may be deemed an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act if the value of its investment securities is more than 40% of its total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.
In connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, the JV Investor acquired a five percent (5%) interest in and was appointed the initial manager of TPHGreenwich, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company holding directly or indirectly substantially all of the Company’s non-cash assets prior to the Recapitalization Transactions. Since we no longer hold a controlling interest in TPHGreenwich, the membership interest we hold in the JV could be deemed under the Investment Company Act to be an investment in investment securities, and, if such investment were to exceed 40% of our total assets, exclusive of U.S. government securities cash items on an unconsolidated basis, and accordingly, we could be deemed to be an inadvertent investment company under such section 3(A)(1)(C). In that case, whether or not another exemption or exclusion from the Investment Company Act is available, we may choose to treat the Company as a transient investment company under Rule 3A-2 under the Investment Company Act.
Rule 3a-2 under the Investment Company Act, allows a transient investment company a grace period of one year from the earlier of (a) the date on which an issuer owns securities and/or cash having a value exceeding 50% of the issuer’s total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis and (b) the date on which an issuer owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis to become compliant with Section 3(A)(1)(C) or otherwise find another exemption or exclusion from the definition of an investment company.
We believe that for purposes of valuing the membership interest we hold in the JV, the substantial indebtedness attributable to the real property assets owned directly or indirectly by the JV would materially reduce the value of such membership interest. In the event we are deemed to be an inadvertent investment company as a result of the Recapitalization Transactions, we believe would qualify for the grace period. We may take actions to cause any investment securities held by us to be less than 40% of our total assets, which may include acquiring assets, engaging in one or more strategic transactions or liquidating our investment securities.
As Rule 3a-2 is available to a company no more than once every three years, and assuming no other exclusion were available to us, we would have to keep within the 40% limit for at least three years after the grace period expires under such rule. This may limit our ability to make certain investments or enter into joint ventures that could otherwise have a positive impact on our earnings. In any event, we do not intend to become an investment company engaged in the business of investing and trading securities.
Classification as an investment company under the Investment Company Act requires registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). If an investment company fails to register, it would have to stop doing almost all business, and its contracts would become void or potentially voidable. Registration is time consuming and restrictive and would require a restructuring of our operations, and we would be very constrained in the kind of business we could do as a registered investment company. Further, we would become subject to substantial regulation concerning management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons and portfolio composition, and would need to file reports under the Investment Company Act regime. The cost of such compliance would result in our incurring substantial additional expenses, and the failure to register if required would have a materially adverse impact to conduct our operations.
Additional Risks Related to TPHGreenwich and the Properties
TPHGreenwich and its subsidiaries are subject to leverage and face risks generally associated with such debt, including an increased risk of default on such entity’s obligations and an increase in debt service requirements that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Historically, we have incurred substantial indebtedness in furtherance of our activities, at both the parent company level and subsidiary level, resulting in an increased risk of default on our obligations and in an increase in debt service
requirements, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Following the Recapitalization Transactions, a majority of the indebtedness is held by TPHGreenwich and/or its subsidiaries. As a result, TPHGreenwich is subject to the risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that its cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, the risk that TPHGreenwich may fail to repay or refinance existing debt as it matures, which may result in forced disposition of assets on disadvantageous terms or have other adverse consequences, and the risk that if TPHGreenwich refinances any of its debt, it may do so on refinancing terms less favorable than the terms of the existing debt.
Covenants in the loan agreements could limit TPHGreenwich’s flexibility and adversely affect its financial condition.
The loan agreements contain a number of financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on debt, liens, business activities, equity repurchases, distributions and dividends, disposition of assets and transactions with affiliates, as well as financial covenants regarding loan to value and net worth. These covenants may limit TPHGreenwich’s flexibility to incur additional debt. If TPHGreenwich fails to meet or satisfy any of these covenants, it would be in default under these agreements and the indebtedness could be declared due and payable. In addition, the lenders could terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their interests against existing collateral. If TPHGreenwich were to default under the loan agreements, its financial condition would be adversely affected.
The Legacy Investor is the lender under the CCF, and an affiliate of the Legacy Investor and JV Investor is the lender under the 77G Mezzanine Loan, which could create a conflict of interest.
The Legacy Investor is the lender under the CCF, and an affiliate of the Legacy Investor and JV Investor is the lender under the 77G Mezzanine Loan. The JV Investor manages and controls TPHGreenwich, and as a result the Investor controls both the borrower and lender under these loan agreements, and accordingly conflicts of interest could arise. There is no assurance that any future actions by or transactions with the Investor or any of its affiliates will be on the same terms as those available with unaffiliated third parties or that these actions, agreements or relationships will be maintained at all or will not otherwise impact the Company in a manner that is adverse to us or our stockholders.
A significant part of TPHGreenwich’s current business plan is focused on completion of and the sale of condominiums at 77 Greenwich. An inability to execute this business plan due to adverse trends in the New York City residential condominium market or otherwise would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The business plan of TPHGreenwich includes in particular completion of the development of and the sale of condominiums at 77 Greenwich, which currently is its largest asset. As a result, TPHGreenwich’s, and in turn our, distribution of earnings from investments, are heavily dependent on the success of implementing the business plan for 77 Greenwich.
77 Greenwich consists of 90 luxury residential condominium apartments, in addition to a retail condominium unit and a New York City elementary school condominium unit. A variety of factors determine New York City residential condominium trends and will impact the sales and pricing of the residential condominium units at 77 Greenwich. These factors include, among others, available supply, changes in interest rates, the availability of home mortgages, foreign exchange rates, foreign buyer patterns, local employment trends, and prices and velocity of sales. Sales of residential condominium units in general, and in particular in New York City, have historically experienced greater volatility than detached single family houses, which may expose TPHGreenwich to more risk. These and other factors fluctuate over time. Based on a number of reports, there is a historically high number of unsold units in newly constructed luxury residential condominiums in New York City, which has resulted in demand and pricing pressures. When we commenced sales in the spring of 2019, the New York City market, in particular downtown Manhattan, was in a period of softness. This was exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to current market conditions in New York City, several competing residential condominium projects located in downtown Manhattan, specifically in the Financial District, have been put on hold while others have restarted construction. The status of unsold residential condominium units in 2025 and beyond is inherently uncertain. Closings on sales commenced in September 2021 and are ongoing. An inability to successfully execute the business plan with respect to 77 Greenwich would likely have a material adverse effect on TPHGreenwich’s financial condition and results of operations.
Due to the TPHGreenwich’s core business of investing in, developing and operating real estate assets, there is an inherent risk that the development and sales of residential condominiums may be subject to unknown potential changes in internal and external financial and economic conditions, such as inflation and rising interest rates, and general market conditions which could impact the Company's business and potential buyers of the residential condominiums for sale. The Company believes it is possible for TPHGreenwich to incur real estate impairment charges in the future in the event these conditions deteriorate.
Investment returns from 77 Greenwich may be less than anticipated.
The development of 77 Greenwich is exposed to risks, including the following:
● TPHGreenwich may sell residential condominium units at 77 Greenwich at prices that are less than were projected;
● the velocity of condominium sales at 77 Greenwich may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, and may result in the investment being less profitable than expected or not profitable at all; and
● operating expenses and real estate taxes may be greater than projected, resulting in the investment being less profitable than were expected.
TPHGreenwich’s investment in property development for 77 Greenwich may be more costly than anticipated.
The current development and construction activities, including with respect to 77 Greenwich, may be exposed to the following risks:
● TPHGreenwich may incur construction costs for a development project that exceed our original estimates due to increases in interest rates, increased materials, labor, leasing or other costs, and increases in unforeseen costs such as those related to the supply chain disruption, which could make completion of the project less profitable because market rents or condominium unit sales prices, as applicable, may not increase sufficiently to compensate for the increase in construction costs;
● TPHGreenwich may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and could require it to abandon its activities entirely with respect to a project;
● TPHGreenwich may expend funds on and devote management’s time to projects which it does not complete;
● TPHGreenwich may be unable to complete construction and/or leasing of its rental properties and sales of its condominium projects (currently limited to 77 Greenwich) on schedule, or at all due to unforeseen construction issues; and
● TPHGreenwich may suspend development projects after construction has begun due to changes in economic conditions or other factors, and this may result in the write-off of costs, payment of additional costs or increases in overall costs when the development project is restarted.
TPHGreenwich may be unable to lease vacant space, renew current leases, or re-lease space as current leases expire.
Leases at the properties owned by TPHGreenwich may not be renewed or such properties may not be re-leased at favorable rental rates. If the rental rates for the properties decrease, tenants do not renew their leases or TPHGreenwich does not re-lease a significant portion of available space, tenant defaults or space that is currently unoccupied, and space for which leases are scheduled to expire, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial resources that compete with TPHGreenwich in seeking tenants who it desires to lease space in the properties.
The bankruptcy of, or a downturn in the business of, any of the major tenants at the commercial real estate properties that causes them to reject their leases, or to not renew their leases as they expire, or renew at lower rental rates, may adversely affect TPHGreenwich’s cash flows and property values. In addition, retailers at the properties face increasing competition from e-commerce, outlet malls, discount shopping clubs, direct mail and telemarketing, which could reduce rents payable to TPHGreenwich and reduce TPHGreenwich’s ability to attract and retain tenants at the properties leading to increased vacancy rates.
In addition, if TPHGreenwich is unable to renew leases or re-lease a property, the resale value of that property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property will depend in part upon the value of the leases of such property.
The properties owned, or previously owned, by TPHGreenwich may be subject to known and unknown liabilities and with limited or no recourse to the seller.
Properties owned by TPHGreenwich may be subject to known or unknown liabilities with no or minimal recourse to the seller. As a result, if a property is damaged, TPHGreenwich may need to pay to have it repaired, and its ability to recover any such payments through insurance, indemnities, litigation or otherwise is uncertain. The Company acquired one property subject to unknown construction defects due to water penetration in the walls at 237 11th, which was subsequently contributed to TPHGreenwich in the Recapitalization Transactions (and subsequently sold). During the pendency of repairs at 237 11th, units were unable to be leased, and following completion of repairs, they needed to be re-leased. If a liability was asserted against us or TPHGreenwich arising from the ownership of a property, we or TPHGreenwich might have to pay substantial sums to settle it. Unknown liabilities with respect to properties acquired might include:
● liabilities for repair of damaged properties or faulty construction;
● claims by tenants, vendors or other persons arising from dealing with the former owners of the properties;
● liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business;
● claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties; and
● liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination and/or repair or other remediation of construction defects.
Any of these occurrences could adversely affect our cash flow, even if some or all of the costs are ultimately borne by a third party, and the impact could be material.
Multi-family residential properties may be subject to rent stabilization regulations, which limit TPHGreenwich’s ability to raise rents above specified maximum amounts and could give rise to claims by tenants that their rents exceed such specified maximum amounts.
The Rent Stabilization Law and Code imposes rent control or rent stabilization on certain apartment buildings. The rent stabilization regulations applicable to TPHGreenwich’s multi-family residential properties set maximum rates for annual rent increases, entitle tenants to receive required services from TPHGreenwich and entitle tenants to have their leases renewed. The limitations established by present or future rent stabilization regulations may impair TPHGreenwich’s ability to maintain rents at market levels at its properties subject to such regulations.
Pursuant to the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019, which is a set of New York State laws, vacancy lease increases were eliminated, whereby the landlord was permitted to increase the rent by as much as 20% for a tenant moving into a vacant apartment, to which significant increases in rent for New York City properties were historically attributed.
With respect to certain types of properties in New York City, solely by virtue of the real estate tax exemption under RPTL Section 421-a, the Rent Guidelines Board of New York City, approves renewal lease rent increases. In 2024, the Rent Guidelines Board approved a 2.75% increase on 12-month lease renewals and a 5.25% increase for 24-month lease renewals.
The application of rent stabilization to apartments in TPHGreenwich’s multi-family residential properties will limit the amount of rent TPHGreenwich is able to collect, which could have a material adverse effect on its ability to fully take advantage of the investments that it is making in the properties. In addition, there can be no assurances that changes to rent stabilization laws will not have a similar or greater negative impact on TPHGreenwich’s ability to collect rents.
TPHGreenwich may not receive or be able to maintain certain tax benefits if it is not in compliance with certain requirements of the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
TPHGreenwich may not receive or be able to maintain certain existing or anticipated tax benefits related to the 237 11th property if it is not in compliance with certain requirements of the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”). This property currently benefits from a real estate tax exemption under New York Real Property Tax Law (the “RPTL”) Section 421-a, as a result of a specified percentage of the units in such building being designated as affordable rate units or market rate units and/or subject to rent stabilization guidelines, among other requirements. Section 421-a of the New York RPTL provides an exemption from real estate taxes on the amount of the assessed value of newly constructed improvements if certain requirements are met. A property cannot maintain or continue to receive Section 421-a tax benefits without HPD’s determination that all Section 421-a eligibility requirements have and continue to be met. Although HPD has issued final Certificates of Eligibility with respect to the Section 421-a tax benefits for 237 11th and TPHGreenwich is currently in compliance with all applicable Section 421-a requirements for this property, there can be no assurance that compliance with the Section 421-a requirements for this property will continue to be maintained. If TPHGreenwich is not able to maintain compliance with the requirements of the Section 421-a partial tax exemption program, as applicable to this property, HPD may find that such property is ineligible to receive the tax exemption benefits related to the Section 421-a partial tax exemption program.
TPHGreenwich’s ability to develop or redevelop the properties and enter into new leases with tenants will depend on its obtaining certain permits, site plan approvals and other governmental approvals from local municipalities, which it may not be able to obtain on a timely basis or at all.
In order to develop or redevelop the properties, TPHGreenwich will be required to obtain certain permits, site plan approvals or other governmental approvals from local municipalities. TPHGreenwich may not be able to secure all the necessary permits or approvals on a timely basis or at all, which may prevent TPHGreenwich from developing or redeveloping the properties according to its business plan. Additionally, potential acquirers or tenants may also need to obtain certain permits or approvals in order to utilize the properties in the manner they intend to do so. The specific permit and approval requirements are set by the state and the various local jurisdictions, including but not limited to city, town, county, township and state agencies having control over the specific properties. TPHGreenwich’s inability to obtain permits and approvals to develop or redevelop the properties, or the inability of potential purchasers and tenants of the properties to obtain necessary permits and approvals, could severely and adversely affect our business.
TPHGreenwich may incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and environmental contamination may impair the ability to lease and/or sell real estate.
TPHGreenwich’s operations and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment, including air and water quality, hazardous or toxic substances and health and safety. Under some environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances released at a property. The owner or operator may also be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by those parties because of the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of the release of the substances or caused the release. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may impair TPHGreenwich’s ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Other laws and regulations govern indoor and outdoor air quality including those that can require the abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of damage, demolition, renovation or remodeling and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. The maintenance and removal of lead paint and certain electrical equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are also regulated by federal and state laws. TPHGreenwich is also subject to risks associated with human exposure to chemical or biological contaminants such as molds, pollens, viruses and bacteria which, above certain levels, can be alleged to be connected to allergic or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. TPHGreenwich could incur fines for environmental compliance and be
held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to the foregoing regulated substances or related claims arising out of environmental contamination or human exposure to contamination at or from the properties.
Each of the properties has been subject to varying degrees of environmental assessment. To date, these environmental assessments have not revealed any environmental condition material to our business. However, identification of new compliance concerns or undiscovered areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, human exposure to contamination or changes in clean-up or compliance requirements could result in significant costs to TPHGreenwich.
Compliance or failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) or other safety regulations and requirements could result in substantial costs.
The ADA generally requires that public buildings, including our properties, meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These rules are subject to interpretation and change. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages to private litigants and/or legal fees to their counsel. If, under the ADA, TPHGreenwich is required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of the operating properties, including the removal of access barriers, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If TPHGreenwich fails to comply with these requirements, it could incur fines or private damage awards. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures that will affect TPHGreenwich’s cash flow and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our common stock is thinly traded and the price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly.
Our common stock, currently quoted on the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Markets, is thinly traded. Because our common stock is thinly traded, even small trades can have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock, especially when there are limited buyers in the market. We cannot assure stockholders that an active market for our common stock will develop in the foreseeable future or, if developed, that it will be sustained. As a result of these factors, stockholders may not be able to resell their common stock. Volatility in the market price of our common stock and lack of liquidity may prevent stockholders from being able to sell their shares at or above the price paid for such shares. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, many of which are beyond our control, including:
● our ability to raise additional capital to fund our cash needs, obtain additional financing and refinance existing loans and on favorable terms or evaluate and realize the anticipated benefits of our recently completed strategic transaction;
● the potential issuance of additional shares of common stock including at prices that are below the then-current trading price of our common stock;
● changes in the real estate markets in which TPHGreenwich operates, especially New York City;
● TPHGreenwich’s ability to develop or redevelop or successfully sell units in 77 Greenwich or at other properties in the future;
● volatility in global and/or U.S. equities markets;
● our financial results or those of other companies in our industry;
● the public’s reaction to our press releases and other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
● new laws or regulations or new interpretations of laws or regulations applicable to our business;
● changes in general conditions in the United States and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from inflation, rising interest rates, tariffs, war, incidents of terrorism or responses to such events;
● sales of common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders;
● changes in generally accepted accounting principles, policies, guidance, or interpretations; and
● other factors described in our filings with the SEC, including among others in connection with the risks noted in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, while our common stock remains thinly traded, small sales or purchases may cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate dramatically up or down without regard to our financial health or business prospects. Downward fluctuations can impair, and have impaired, our ability to raise equity capital on acceptable terms.
We currently have fewer than 300 stockholders of record and, therefore, terminated the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act and suspended being a U.S. public company with reporting obligations.
Under the Steel Stock Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to use reasonable efforts to complete the deregistration from the reporting obligations under Section 12 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act, including all associated reporting obligations, Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act allows for the registration of any class of securities to be terminated after a company files a certification with the SEC that the number of holders of record of such class of security is fewer than 300 persons. As of February 18, 2025, there were 128 stockholders of record of our common stock. This does not include the number of shareholders that hold shares in “street name” through banks, brokers and other financial institutions. Accordingly, we were eligible to deregister our common stock and suspend our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and, on February 18, 2025, filed a Form 15 with the SEC. As a result, we are no longer required to comply with U.S. public company disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, annual and quarterly report filings, proxy statement filings and filings by insiders to disclose the acquisition and disposition of our securities. This annual report on Form 10-K is our final periodic report filed under the Exchange Act.
Stockholders have experienced dilution of their ownership interests upon the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock.
We may issue additional equity securities in capital raising transactions or otherwise, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 120,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 79,999,997 shares of common stock, two shares of a class of preferred stock (which were redeemed in accordance with their terms and may not be reissued), one share of a class of special stock and 40,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. As of December 31, 2024, there were 65,314,726 shares of our common stock and one share of special stock outstanding.
We have in the past and we may in the future raise additional capital through public or private offerings of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common stock. Any future issuance of our equity or equity-linked securities may dilute then-current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities, because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. We may also issue such securities in connection with hiring or retaining employees and consultants, as payment to providers of goods and services, in connection with future acquisitions and investments, development, redevelopment and repositioning of assets, or for other business purposes. Our board of directors may at any time authorize the issuance of additional common stock without stockholder approval, unless the approval of our common stockholders is required by applicable law, rule or regulation, or our certificate of incorporation. The terms of preferred or other equity or equity-linked securities we may issue in future transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include dividend and/or liquidation preferences, anti-dilution protection, pre-emptive rights, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, among other terms, which may have a further dilutive effect. Our previously outstanding warrants also contained these types of provisions. Also, the future issuance of any such additional shares of common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that any such future issuances will not be at a price or have conversion or exercise prices below the price at which shares of the common stock are then traded.
A decline in the price of our common stock, including as a result of a sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, may impair our ability to raise capital in the future.
A decline in the price of our common stock, whether as a result of market conditions, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or other reasons, may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate, which would impair our ability to raise capital.
Capital-raising transactions resulting in a large amount of newly issued shares that become readily tradable, or other events that cause current stockholders to sell shares, could place downward pressure on the trading price of our stock. In addition, the lack of a robust resale market may require a stockholder who desires to sell a large number of shares of common stock to sell the shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock.
If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, including the ending of restrictions on resale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, the market price of our common stock could fall. A significant number of restricted shares previously issued by us had been registered for resale on registration statements filed with the SEC.
More than 60% of our shares of common stock are currently controlled by three of our stockholders who may have the ability to influence the election of directors and the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders.
More than 60% of our shares of common stock are controlled by three of our stockholders, including approximately 40% of our common stock being owned by Steel Purchaser since February 18, 2025. As a result, these stockholders may have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of issues submitted to our stockholders for a vote. The interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and they may act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other stockholders. The concentration of ownership could also deter unsolicited takeovers, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.
The holder of our special stock and the Steel Purchaser each have rights to appoint directors to our board of directors and, consequently, the ability to exert influence over us.
In connection with the investment in us by Third Avenue Trust, on behalf of Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund (“Third Avenue”), Third Avenue was issued one share of a class of special stock and our certificate of incorporation was amended to provide that, subject to the other terms and conditions of our certificate of incorporation, from the issuance of the one share of special stock and until the “Special Stock Ownership Threshold” of 2,345,000 shares of common stock is no longer satisfied, Third Avenue has the right to elect one director to the board of directors. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Steel Purchaser Stockholders’ Agreement, so long as Steel Purchaser owns at least 20% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, the Company will take all action reasonably necessary to cause the Board to remain at five (5) members, which shall include (A) one (1) director who shall qualify as independent and is mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Company and (B) two (2) directors designated solely by Steel Purchaser. As a result, for so long as these board appointment rights are in effect, Third Avenue and Steel Purchaser may be able to exert influence over our policies and management, potentially in a manner which may not be in our best interests or the best interests of the other stockholders.
In order to protect our ability to utilize our NOLs and certain other tax attributes, our certificate of incorporation includes certain transfer restrictions with respect to our stock, which may limit the liquidity of our common stock.
To reduce the risk of a potential adverse effect on our ability to use our NOLs and certain other tax attributes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our certificate of incorporation contains certain transfer restrictions with respect to our stock by substantial stockholders. These restrictions may adversely affect the ability of certain holders of our common stock to dispose of or acquire shares of our common stock and may have an adverse impact on the liquidity of our stock generally.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and such other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
Our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of our stock.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of us. These provisions could also make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. In addition to the matters identified in the risk factors above relating to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, these provisions include:
● a classified board of directors with two-year staggered terms;
● limitations in our certificate of incorporation on acquisitions and dispositions of our common stock designed to protect our NOLs and certain other tax attributes; and
● authorization for blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock.
These and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of common stock and result in the market price of the common stock being lower than it would be without these provisions.
Our certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain actions or proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to make a claim against the Company, our directors, officers, and employees.
The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on the Company’s behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This provision is not intended to apply to claims arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. To the extent the provision could be construed to apply to such claims, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision in such respect, and the Company’s stockholders will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The exclusive forum provision may discourage claims or limit stockholders’ ability to submit claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may create additional costs as a result. If a court were to determine the exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable and unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs in conjunction with our efforts to resolve the dispute in an alternative jurisdiction, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Because we are a U.S. real property holding corporation, non-U.S. holders of our common stock could be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from its sale, exchange or other disposition.
Because we are a U.S. real property holding corporation, which we refer to as "USRPHC," under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, which we refer to collectively as the "FIRPTA Rules," unless an exception applies, certain non-U.S. investors in our common stock could be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of our common stock, and such non-U.S. investors could be required to file a United States federal income tax return. In addition, the purchaser of such common stock may be required to withhold 15% of the purchase price and remit such amount to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Under the FIRPTA Rules, we are a USRPHC because our interests in U.S. real property comprise at least 50% of the fair market value of our assets. Our common stock is now traded on the OTC markets. As a result, our common stock is no longer treated as "regularly traded on an established securities market" (within the meaning of the FIRPTA Rules). As a result, (i) a non-U.S. investor who, actually or constructively, holds no more than 5% of our common stock may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock under the FIRPTA Rules, and (ii) a purchaser of such stock from a non-U.S. investor may be required to withhold any portion of the purchase price of such stock, depending on the percentage of our common stock held by such non-U.S. investor. Any of our common stockholders that are non-U.S. persons should consult their tax advisors to determine the consequences of investing in our common stock.

77 Greenwich. TPHGreenwich has substantially completed the construction of an over 300,000 gross square foot mixed-use building that corresponds to the approximate total of 233,000 zoning square feet. The property consists of 90 luxury residential condominium apartments, 7,500 square feet of retail space, almost all of which is street level, a 476-seat elementary school serving New York City District 2, including the adaptive reuse of the landmarked Robert and Anne Dickey House. As of March 3, 2023, this property had received its temporary certificates of occupancy (“TCOs”) for 100% of the residential condominium units, lobby, Cloud Club (lounge, terrace, game room, dining room, kitchen and kids play room), mechanical rooms, and portions of the cellar (including the bike and storage rooms.) There have been closings on 46 residential condominium units through December 31, 2024, and TPHGreenwich has closed on the sale of four more residential condominium units subsequent with 40 remaining units to sell as of March 24, 2025.
Prior to the Recapitalization Transactions, we entered into an agreement with the New York City School Construction Authority (the “SCA”), whereby we constructed a school sold to the SCA as part of our condominium development at 77 Greenwich. Pursuant to the agreement, the SCA agreed to pay us $41.5 million for the purchase of their condominium unit and reimburse us for the costs associated with constructing the school, including a construction supervision fee of approximately $5.0 million. Payments for construction are being made by the SCA to the general contractor in installments as construction on their condominium unit progresses. Payments to us for the land and construction supervision fee commenced in January 2018 and continued through October 2019 for the land and will continue through completion of the SCA buildout for the construction supervision fee. An aggregate of $46.4 million had been paid to us by the SCA as of February 14, 2024, with approximately $176,000 remaining to be paid to TPHGreenwich. We have also received an aggregate of $56.1 million in reimbursable construction costs from the SCA through February 14, 2024. In April 2020, the SCA closed on the purchase of the school condominium unit from us, at which point title transferred to the SCA. The SCA has completed the buildout of the interior space, which is a public elementary school with approximately 476 seats. The school received its final TCO and opened to students in September 2022.
There is an inherent risk that the development and sales of residential condominiums may be subject to unknown potential changes in internal and external financial and economic conditions, such as inflation and rising interest rates, and general market conditions, which could impact the business and potential buyers of the residential condominiums for sale. In addition, construction work is ongoing and there continue to be delays and issues the impact of which is not yet known. We believe it is possible under generally accepted accounting practices for TPHGreenwich to incur real estate impairment charges in the future in the event these conditions deteriorate.
(2) Paramus Property. The Paramus property consists of a one-story and partial two-story, 73,000 square foot freestanding building and an outparcel building of approximately 4,000 square feet, for approximately 77,000 total square feet of rentable space. The primary building is comprised of approximately 47,000 square feet of ground floor space, and two separate mezzanine levels of approximately 21,000 and 5,000 square feet. The 73,000 square foot building is leased to Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RH) pursuant to a license agreement that began on June 1, 2016, is terminable upon three months’ notice, and currently is scheduled to end on March 31, 2025. The outparcel building was leased under a short-term license agreement with a tenant whose lease began on October 1, 2023, and ends June 30, 2025. The land area of the Paramus property consists of approximately 292,000 square feet, or approximately 6.7 acres.
On February 4, 2025, TPHGreenwich sold the Paramus Property for a gross sales price of $15.6 million. After repayment of the underlying loan of $11.7 million and closing costs, TPHGreenwich received approximately $2.9 million in net sale cash proceeds.
(3) 237 11th Street. In 2018, we acquired a 105-unit, 12-story multi-family apartment building encompassing approximately 93,000 gross square feet (approximately 80,000 rentable square feet) located at 237 11th Street, Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York for a purchase price of $81.2 million, excluding transaction costs of approximately $0.7 million. The property also includes 6,264 square feet of retail space, all of which is leased to Starbucks Inc. (NQGS:SBUX), an oral surgeon and a health and wellness tenant. Located on the border of the Park Slope and Gowanus neighborhoods of Brooklyn, the property is located one block from the 4th Avenue/9th Street subway station. The 237 11th property offers an array of modern amenities that surpass what is available in the neighborhood’s “brownstone” housing stock. The property also benefits from a 15-year Section 421-a real estate tax exemption. Although all apartments are market rate units, they are subject to New York City’s rent stabilization law during the remaining term of the Section 421-a real estate tax exemption. Due to the approval of the Gowanus up-zoning, this property benefitted to the extent of approximately 30,000 square feet of air rights.
Due to water damage in apartment units and other property at 237 11th, we submitted a notice of claim to our insurance carrier for property damage and business interruption (lost revenue) in September 2018. The insurance carrier subsequently disclaimed coverage for the losses and we filed a complaint against the carrier alleging that it breached the insurance policy by denying coverage. We also filed legal claims against the seller, its parent company, and the general contractor (who, thereafter, impleaded into that litigation several subcontractors who performed work on the property), and we subsequently reached a settlement of that action. Management also expects that TPHGreenwich and/or its affiliates will recover some portion of the cost incurred to repair the property through the litigation and/or settlement negotiations with its insurer, although the amount of damages that may be recoverable in litigation and/or potential settlement negotiations are uncertain at this time, as is the timing of receipt of any such payments. TPHGreenwich will continue to pursue all legal remedies against the insurance carrier.
On March 14, 2025, TPHGreenwich sold 237 11th for a gross sales price of $68.5 million. After repayment of the underlying loan of $60.0 million and closing costs, TPHGreenwich received approximately $6.0 million in net sale cash proceeds.
Corporate Headquarters
The Company leases its corporate headquarters in New York, New York (approximately 6,271 square feet). The lease expires on March 31, 2025. Following the expiration of the lease, the Company’s principal place of business will be 590 Madison Avenue, 32nd floor, New York, NY, 10022.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion related to our consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements appearing in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. A detailed discussion of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 is not included herein and can be found in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.
Overview
We are a real estate holding, investment, development and asset management company. As of December 31, 2024, our sole investment is a 95% ownership interest in TPHGreenwich, which is accounted for as an equity method investment. As part of a series of transactions described below, on February 14, 2024, TPHGreenwich Holdings LLC (“TPHGreenwich”), a previously 100% owned subsidiary of ours, became owned 95% by us, with an affiliate of the lender under our corporate credit facility (the “Corporate Credit Facility” or “CCF”) owning a 5% interest in, and acting as manager of, such entity. This entity holds our previously consolidated real estate assets and related liabilities, which prior to the sales described below, includes (i) the property located at 77 Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan (“77 Greenwich”), which is substantially complete as a mixed-use project consisting of a 90-unit residential condominium tower, retail space and a New York City elementary school, (ii) a 105-unit, 12-story multi-family property located at 237 11th Street in Brooklyn, New York (“237 11th”), and (iii) a property occupied by retail tenants in Paramus, New Jersey (the “Paramus Property”).
On February 4, 2025, TPHGreenwich sold the Paramus Property for a gross sales price of $15.6 million. After repayment of the underlying loan of $11.7 million and closing costs, TPHGreenwich received approximately $2.9 million in net sale cash proceeds. The Company’s guarantee of the loan underlying the Paramus Property was retired upon the sale.
On March 14, 2025, TPHGreenwich sold 237 11th for a gross sales price of $68.5 million. After repayment of the underlying loan of $60.0 million and closing costs, TPHGreenwich received approximately $6.0 million in net sale cash proceeds.
We also control a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, a legacy of our predecessor, Syms Corp. (“Syms”), including FilenesBasement.com, our rights to the Stanley Blacker® brand, as well as the intellectual property associated with the Running of the Brides® event and the An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer® slogan.
Recapitalization Transactions
On February 14, 2024, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2024 (as amended, the “Legacy Stock Purchase Agreement”), between the Company, TPHS Lender LLC, the lender under the Company’s Corporate Credit Facility ( “TPHS Lender”) and TPHS Investor LLC, an affiliate of TPHS Lender (the “JV Investor”, and together with TPHS Lender, the “Legacy Investor”), pursuant to which (i) the Legacy Investor purchased 25,112,245 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Legacy Investor Shares”) for a purchase price of $0.30 per share, (ii) the Company and the JV Investor entered into an amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement of TPHGreenwich (the “JV Operating Agreement”), pursuant to which the JV Investor was appointed the initial manager of, and acquired a five percent (5%) interest in, TPHGreenwich, as described in more detail below, and TPHGreenwich continues to own, indirectly, all of the previously consolidated real property assets and liabilities of the Company, and (iii) TPHGreenwich entered into an asset management agreement (the “Asset Management Agreement”) with a newly formed subsidiary of the Company (the “TPH Manager”), pursuant to which TPHGreenwich hired the TPH Manager to act as initial asset manager for TPHGreenwich for an annual management fee, as described in more detail below (collectively, the “Recapitalization Transactions”).
Under the Recapitalization Transactions, the real estate assets and related liabilities as well as the Corporate Credit Facility became part of TPHGreenwich, with the Company retaining the intellectual property and a 95% equity interest in TPHGreenwich. In addition, the maturity date of each of the mortgage loan agreement (the “77G Mortgage Loan”) and mezzanine loan agreement (the “77G Mezzanine Loan”) for 77 Greenwich, both of which were assumed by TPHGreenwich, was extended to October 23, 2025 with an option to extend for an additional year, and the maturity date of the Corporate Credit Facility was extended to June 30, 2026.
In connection with the Steel Partners transaction in February 2025 (as defined and described below), the Legacy Stock Purchase Agreement was partially terminated by the Company and the TPHS Lender (including and cancellation of the TPHS Lender’s right to receive penny warrants of the Company equivalent to 5% of the Company’s Common Stock), except for provisions of the Legacy Stock Purchase Agreement which would cause an impairment or termination of the TPHS Lender’s representation and warranty insurance policy obtained.
Recent Developments
Steel Partners Transaction
See Item 1, “Business-Steel Partners Transaction” for more information regarding the Steel Partners Transactions.
Charter Amendment
In February 2025, the Company filed an Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Amendment”). The Amendment extended certain transfer restrictions set forth in the Company’s charter to until February 25, 2035. A copy of the Amendment is filed as exhibit 3.3 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management’s Plans and Objectives
Following the Recapitalization Transactions, our primary business is owning a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, as well as a 95% interest in TPHGreenwich. As discussed herein, we may distribute the interest in TPHGreenwich to our shareholders in 2025. At the same time, we are implementing various cost efficiencies using Steel’s proven business optimization practices and exploring with Steel potential business expansions and alternatives in order to maximize stockholder value. These may include, for example, acquisition of additional business assets, contribution by Steel or a third party of additional business assets to Trinity, or other business combinations. There
is no assurance that we will successfully complete any such acquisition, contribution, or combination, or that any such transaction will ultimately be successful.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2024, compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Rental revenues in total decreased by approximately $5.1 million to $798,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This consisted of a decrease in rent revenues of approximately $5.0 million to $741,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as a decrease in tenant reimbursements of approximately $139,000 to $57,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $196,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in total rental revenues and its related components was mainly due to the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above whereby TPHGreenwich is recording the rental revenues.
Other income increased by approximately $1.1 million to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $177,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, this income represents the management fee earned from TPHGreenwich. For the year ended December 31, 2023, this income was made up of a contractual payment received as a result of the cancelation of the purchase and sale agreement for the Paramus, New Jersey property in January 2023, as well as the SCA’s construction supervision fee.
Sales of residential condominium units at 77 Greenwich decreased by approximately $26.1 million to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We closed on one and ten residential condominium units during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in total sales of residential condominium units at 77 Greenwich was due to the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above whereby TPHGreenwich is recording the sales of residential condominium units. Units that we closed on during 2023 were generally lower priced, smaller units on the building’s lower floors.
Property operating expenses decreased by approximately $3.5 million to $480,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in property operating expenses was mainly due to the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above, and to a lesser extent lower marketing and operating costs at 77 Greenwich due to nine fewer residential condominium units having closed. This was partially offset by no capitalized operating costs associated with 77 Greenwich during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Property operating expenses consisted primarily of expenses incurred for utilities, payroll, and general operating expenses as well as repairs and maintenance and leasing commission at 237 11th, general operating expenses at 77 Greenwich, including marketing costs, and to a lesser extent expenses related to the Paramus, New Jersey property.
Real estate tax expense decreased by approximately $2.0 million to $363,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in real estate tax expense was due to the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above as real estate tax expenses are recorded at TPHGreenwich. There were also less unsold residential condominium units paying real estate taxes which was partially offset by higher assessed values for the unsold residential condominium units and there were less capitalized real estate tax expenses for those units at 77 Greenwich for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $667,000 to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately $140,000 related to stock-based compensation, $2.6 million related to payroll and payroll related expenses, $1.6 million related to other corporate expenses, including board fees, corporate office rent and insurance and $1.0 million related to legal, accounting and other professional fees. For the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately $365,000 related to stock-based compensation, $2.6 million related to payroll and payroll related expenses, $1.8 million related to other corporate expenses, including board fees, corporate office rent and insurance and $1.3 million related to legal, accounting and other professional fees.
Pension related costs increased by approximately $328,000 to $97,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to income of $231,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These costs represent professional fees and other periodic pension costs incurred in connection with the legacy Syms Pension Plan (see Note 9 - Pension Plan to our consolidated financial statements for further information).
Cost of sales - residential condominium units decreased by approximately $25.8 million to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We closed on one and ten residential condominium units during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This decrease in costs of sales is due to the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above whereby TPHGreenwich is recording the cost of sales of residential condominium units. Cost of sales consists of construction and capitalized operating costs that are allocated to the respective condominium units being sold, as well as closing costs of the residential condominium units. Units that we closed during 2023 were generally lower priced, smaller units on the building’s lower floors.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately $2.9 million to $771,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was mainly due to the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above whereby TPHGreenwich is recording the depreciation and amortization expense. For the year ended December 31, 2024, depreciation and amortization expense consisted of depreciation for 237 11th of approximately $207,000, the amortization of lease commissions and acquired in-place leases of approximately $95,000 for 237 11th, the amortization of warrants of approximately $456,000 and depreciation for the corporate office furniture, fixtures and computer equipment of $13,000. For the year ended December 31, 2023, depreciation and amortization expense consisted of depreciation for the Paramus, New Jersey property of approximately $835,000, depreciation for 237 11th of approximately $1.7 million, the amortization of lease commissions and acquired in-place leases of approximately $770,000 for 237 11th, and amortization of warrants of approximately $456,000.
Gain on contribution to joint venture was approximately $21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and represents the gain in the value of the Company relating to the Recapitalization Transactions that closed on February 14, 2024.
Equity in net loss from unconsolidated joint ventures was approximately $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, equity in net loss from unconsolidated joint venture represented the impact of our contribution to the TPHGreenwich joint venture on February 14, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2023, equity in net loss from unconsolidated joint ventures represented our 10% share in 250 North 10th, which was sold in February 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our share of the net loss is primarily comprised of operating income before depreciation of $121,000 offset by depreciation and amortization of $77,000 and interest expense of $48,000 for 250 North 10th.
Equity in net gain on sale of unconsolidated joint venture property of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 represents the February 2023 sale of our interest in the joint venture that owned 250 North 10th to our joint venture partner resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million after repayment of our Partner Loan, where we recognized an approximate $3.1 million gain.
Unrealized gain on warrants was $73,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023. This represents the change in the fair market valuation of the warrants due mainly to the change in our stock price on the measurement date.
Interest expense, net decreased by approximately $25.3 million to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in interest expense was due to the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above whereby TPHGreenwich is recording the interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was approximately $3.9 million of gross interest expense incurred and no amounts were capitalized into residential condominium units for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there was approximately $29.9 million of gross interest expense incurred, $689,000 of which was capitalized into residential condominium units for sale.
Interest expense - amortization of deferred finance costs decreased by approximately $2.7 million to $334,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was principally due to the
Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above whereby TPHGreenwich is recording the amortization of deferred finance costs.
We recorded $218,000 in tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $183,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Net income attributable to common stockholders increased by approximately $44.6 million to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from a net loss of $39.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This is a result of the changes discussed above, principally due to the gain on disposition recognized from the Recapitalization Transactions mentioned above and interest expense, partially offset by equity in net loss from unconsolidated joint ventures.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, we had total cash and restricted cash of $403,000, of which approximately $277,000 was cash and cash equivalents and approximately $126,000 was restricted cash.
Under the Recapitalization Transactions, the real estate assets and related liabilities as well as the Corporate Credit Facility became part of TPHGreenwich, with the Company retaining the consumer intellectual property assets and a 95% equity interest in TPHGreenwich.
Cash Position
As part of the Recapitalization Transactions, the CCF, 77G Mortgage Loan and 77G Mezzanine Loan were amended and extended, and were transferred to TPHGreenwich. As of March 24, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $497,000. We have a limited amount of unrestricted cash and liquidity available for working capital and our cash needs are variable under different circumstances. In connection with the Steel Partners Transaction, on February 18, 2025, the Company issued a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Steel Promissory Note”) to Steel Connect, LLC (the “Steel Lender”), an affiliate of Steel Partners and Steel Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5.0 million from the Steel Lender. The Steel Promissory Note is secured by a pledge of all of the assets of the Company. As of March 24, 2025, $1.0 million was outstanding under the Steel Promissory Note.
Cash Flows
Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, 2024, Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Net cash used in operating activities increased by approximately $2.4 million to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was mainly due to the Recapitalization Transactions that occurred on February 14, 2024, whereby Trinity transferred assets and liabilities, including restricted cash, to the TPHGreenwich.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $14.0 million to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The cash used in investing activities was due to the Recapitalization Transactions that occurred on February 14, 2024, whereby Trinity transferred cash to TPHGreenwich. The cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023, was due to $7.2 million in sale proceeds from the sale of our 10% interest in the 250 North 10th joint venture property in February 2023.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by approximately $22.2 million to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities primarily relates to the proceeds from loans and corporate credit facility of approximately $2.5 million as well as the approximate $4.4 million, net of expenses, from the sale of common stock related to the Recapitalization Transactions during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the approximate $22.5 million in repayments of loans, corporate credit facility and notes payable for the year ending December 31, 2023, partially offset by $7.4 million in borrowings from the loans, corporate credit facility and secured line of credit for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Net Operating Losses
We believe that our U.S. federal NOLs as of the emergence date of the Syms bankruptcy were approximately $162.8 million. As of December 31, 2024, we believe that our U.S. federal NOLs and state NOLs were approximately $329.0 million and $291.3 million, respectively, and our New York State and New York City prior NOL conversion subtraction pools were approximately $27.9 million and $22.9 million, respectively. Since 2009 through December 31, 2024, we have utilized approximately $20.1 million of the federal NOLs.
Based on management’s assessment, it is more likely than not that the entire deferred tax assets will not be realized by future taxable income or tax planning strategies. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $90.2 million was recorded as of December 31, 2024. If our assumptions change and we determine that we will be able to realize these NOLs, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets would be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense and an increase in the deferred tax asset.
We believe that certain of the transactions that occurred in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy in September 2012, including the rights offering and the redemption of the Syms shares owned by the former majority shareholder of Syms in accordance with the Plan, resulted in an “ownership change,” as that term is used in Section 382 of the Code. However, while the analysis is complex and subject to subjective determinations and uncertainties, we believe that we should qualify for treatment under Section 382(l)(5) of the Code. As a result, we believe that our NOLs are not subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. However, if we were to undergo a subsequent ownership change in the future, our ability to utilize our NOLs could be subject to limitation under Section 382. In addition, the TCJA limited the deductibility of NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80 percent of taxable income (computed without regard to the net operating loss deduction) for the taxable year.
Even if all of our regular U.S. federal income tax liability for a given year is reduced to zero by virtue of utilizing our NOLs, we may still be subject to state, local or other non-federal income taxes.
Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision intended to help preserve certain tax benefits primarily associated with our NOLs. This provision generally prohibits transfers of stock that would result in a person or group of persons becoming a 4.75% stockholder, or that would result in an increase or decrease in stock ownership by a person or group of persons that is an existing 4.75% stockholder.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in this report. Certain of the accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are particularly important for an understanding of the financial position and results of operations presented in the historical consolidated financial statements included in this report and require the application of significant judgment by management and, as a result, are subject to a degree of uncertainty.
Critical Accounting Estimates
a.
Income Taxes - We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method as required by the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
ASC 740-10-65 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-65, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-65 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and increased other disclosures. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had determined that no liabilities are required in connection with unrecognized tax positions. As of December 31, 2024, our tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2019, through December 31, 2023, are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. Our state returns are open to examination for the years December 31, 2018 or 2019, through December 31, 2023, depending on the jurisdiction. Significant management estimates and judgments are involved to determine the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and valuation allowances. Actual income taxes could vary from estimated amounts due to the future impacts of various items, including changes in income tax laws, forecasted financial conditions and results of operations in future periods, as well as results of audits and examinations of filed tax returns by taxing authorities.
We are subject to certain federal, state and local income and franchise taxes.
b.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures - We accounted for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, namely, The Berkley, which was sold in April 2022, 250 North 10th, which was sold in February 2023, and TPHGreenwich under the equity method of accounting (see Note 14 - Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for further information).
The Company uses the equity method of accounting to record its equity investments in entities in which it has significant influence but does not hold a controlling financial interest, including equity investments in VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Under the equity method, an investment is reflected on the statement of financial condition of an investor as a single amount, and an investor’s share of earnings or losses from its investment is reflected in the statement of operations as a single amount. The investment is initially measured at cost and subsequently adjusted for the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee and distributions received from the investee. The investor recognizes its share of the earnings or losses of the investee in the periods in which they are reported by the investee in its financial statements rather than in the period in which an investee declares a distribution. Intra-entity profits and losses on assets still remaining with an investor or investee are eliminated.
The Company recognizes its share of earnings or losses from certain equity method investments based on the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book value (“HLBV”) method. Under this method, earnings or losses are recognized based on how an entity would allocate and distribute its cash if it were to sell all of its assets and settle its liabilities for their carrying amounts and liquidate at the reporting date. This method is used to calculate the Company’s share of earnings or losses from equity method investments when the contractual cash disbursements to the investors are different than the investors’ stated ownership percentage. This method of accounting is used for our investment in TPHGreenwich given the non-pro rata distribution provision in the JV Operating Agreement in favor of Investor, and there is no obligation to fund losses or operations of the joint venture. Under the HLBV method we do not record our proportionate share of TPHGreenwich losses and we will not recognize losses from the joint venture in excess of our investment basis. As of December 31, 2024, our investment in TPHGreenwich has been reduced to $0, and our unrecorded share of suspended losses was approximately $27.6 million.
The Company reviews its investments on an ongoing basis for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment. This determination requires significant judgment in which the Company evaluates, among other factors, the fair market value of its investments, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold an investment until it recovers. The Company also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health and business outlook of the investee, including industry and market performance, rating agency actions, and expected future operating and financing cash flows. If a decline in the fair value of an investment is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the investment to its fair value, and a new cost basis in the investment is established.
Under the equity method, investments in real estate ventures are recorded initially at the fair value of the assets contributed and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings, contributions, distributions, and impairments. The Company generally allocates income and losses from the unconsolidated real estate ventures based on the venture's distribution priorities, which may be different from its stated ownership percentage.
In connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, as defined in Item 1. Business, Recapitalization Transactions, all real estate assets and related liabilities contributed to TPHGreenwich were transferred at fair value. This resulted in a gain on contribution to joint venture of approximately $21.0 million and was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and all persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. The directors, executive officers and greater than 10% common stockholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms received by the Company and representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2024, all filing requirements were satisfied.
Code of Ethics
We maintain a code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer and senior financial and professional personnel, including our principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at www.trinityplaceholdings.com under the Investor Relations tab. In the event we have any amendments to or waivers from any provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, we intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K by posting such information on our website.
Director Nomination Process
The Board of Directors is responsible for nominating members for election to the Board of Directors and for filling vacancies on the Board of Directors that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders.
The Board will develop criteria for evaluating prospective candidates to the Board and committees, including any specific minimum qualifications and any specific qualities or skills necessary for one or more directors to possess. Among such other criteria as the Board may from time to time determine appropriate, when the Board determines that expansion of the Board or replacement of a director, or the establishment or expansion of a committee, or replacement of a committee member, is necessary or appropriate, the Board will conduct candidate interviews, which may be with members of management, consult with the candidate’s associates and through other means determine a candidate’s honesty, integrity, reputation in and commitment to the community, judgment, personality and thinking style, residence, willingness to devote the necessary time, potential conflicts of interest, independence, understanding of financial statements and issues and other matters of relevance to the Board or applicable committee, and the willingness and ability of the candidate to engage in meaningful and constructive discussion regarding Company issues. While diversity may contribute to this overall evaluation, it is not considered by the Board as a separate or independent factor in identifying nominees for director.
We may identify candidates through recommendations made by directors, senior management or other third parties. The Board will consider director candidates recommended to the Board by stockholders during such times as we are actively considering appointing new directors. Candidates recommended by stockholders will be evaluated based on the same criteria described above.
The Board will recommend those individuals that they determine should be nominees for election or re-election to the Board at the annual meeting of stockholders or, if applicable, at a special meeting of stockholders, or otherwise appointed to the Board or any committee thereof. Stockholders desiring to suggest a candidate for consideration by the Board must do so in accordance with our bylaws and the securities laws, and should send a letter to the attention of the Secretary of the Company, at our principal executive offices, 340 Madison Avenue, Suite 3C, New York, New York 10173, and include: (a) a statement that the writer is a stockholder (providing evidence if the person’s shares are held in street name) and is proposing a candidate for consideration; (b) the name and contact information for the candidate; (c) a statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience; (d) information regarding the candidate’s qualifications to be a director, including but not limited to an evaluation of the factors discussed above which the Board would consider in evaluating a candidate; (e) information regarding any relationship or understanding between the proposing stockholder and the candidate; (f) information regarding potential conflicts of interest; and (g) a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as a director if nominated and elected. Because of our small size and the limited need to seek additional directors, there is no assurance that all stockholder proposed candidates will be fully considered, that all candidates will be considered equally, or that the proponent of any candidate or the proposed candidate will be contacted by us or the Board, and no undertaking to do so is implied by the willingness to consider candidates proposed by stockholders.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Following the Steel Partners Transaction, the Company has one committee, the Audit Committee. The functions of the Board’s prior compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee have been assumed by the full Board (and when applicable, solely the independent members of the Board).
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The members of the Audit Committee are Joanne Minieri (Chair), Alexander Matina and Jeffrey Wald. Each of the current members of the Audit Committee meets the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and satisfies the other Audit Committee membership requirements specified in Section 803B of the NYSE American Company Guide. The Board has determined that Ms. Minieri is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Board Role in Oversight of Risk
The Board is responsible for overseeing our executive management team in the execution of its responsibilities and for assessing our approach to risk management. The Board exercises these responsibilities on an ongoing basis as part of its meetings and through the Audit Committee. Each member of the management team has direct access to the Board and the Audit Committee to ensure that all risk issues are frequently and openly communicated. The Board closely monitors the information it receives from management and provides oversight and guidance to our executive management team regarding the assessment and management of risk. For example, the Board regularly reviews our critical strategic, operational, legal and financial risks with management to set the tone and direction for ensuring appropriate risk taking within the business.
In addition, financial risks are overseen by our Audit Committee, which meets separately with representatives of our independent auditors to determine whether any material financial risks or any deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting have been identified and, if so, the executive management team’s plans to rectify or mitigate these risks. The Audit Committee also oversees risks related to our financial statements, the financial reporting process and accounting matters.
Our Board and Audit Committee have access at all times to our management to discuss any matters of interest, including those related to risk. Those members of our executive management team who are most knowledgeable of the issues facing us also regularly attend Board and Audit Committee meetings to provide additional insight into items being discussed, including risk exposures. We believe that our Board leadership structure enables senior management to communicate identified risks to our Board and Audit Committee and affords a free flow of communication regarding risk identification and mitigation.
Director Independence
All five of the directors on the Board shall be “independent directors”, in accordance with Section 803A of the NYSE American Company Guide.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy which governs the purchase, sale and/or any other dispositions of our securities by the Company and its directors, officers and employees and is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and applicable exchange listing standards. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Compensation in Context
Matthew Messinger, President and Chief Executive Officer
On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Matthew Messinger, as amended on September 11, 2015, to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. With a view towards aligning the CEO’s interests with those of the Company’s creditors, Mr. Messinger’s compensation in his employment agreement was structured to ensure cash conservation for the Company by providing the majority of his compensation in the form of equity awards.
Mr. Messinger’s employment agreement provides that in the event his employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause, death or disability or if Mr. Messinger terminates his employment for good reason (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement), subject to his execution of a release of claims, he would be entitled to the following: (i) a lump sum payment equal to (1) the number of full twelve month periods Mr. Messinger was employed multiplied by (2) the sum of (x) six months base salary and (y) 50% of the average bonus paid to Mr. Messinger for the three calendar years prior to the date of termination, subject to a minimum and a maximum amount of $350,000 and $2,800,000, respectively, (ii) acceleration of vesting of any unvested RSU award and any other equity awards that have been granted as of the date of termination, and (iii) payment of an amount equal to the monthly premium for COBRA continuation coverage under our health, dental and vision plans for eighteen (18) months. In the event that Mr. Messinger’s employment terminates due to his death or disability, the portion of any outstanding RSU awards that would have vested during the 24-month period immediately following the termination of employment, will become vested as of the date of termination of employment.
On April 26, 2024, the Company and Mr. Messinger entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to Mr. Messinger’s employment agreement, dated as of October 1, 2013, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”), and TPHGreenwich and Mr. Messinger entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”). Under the Amendment, the Company agreed to make the following payments to Mr. Messinger in exchange for Mr. Messinger’s agreement to continue his employment as chief executive officer of the Company until the later of July 31, 2024 or the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, unless extended by the parties (the “Termination Date”), and
that he will no longer have the right to terminate the Employment Agreement with Good Reason: (i) $300,000 within seven days of execution of the Amendment, (ii) $300,000 on August 1, 2024 and (iii) $300,000 on November 1, 2024. In addition, on the Termination Date, Mr. Messinger’s unvested restricted stock unit grants vested, and following the Termination Date, the Company will reimburse Mr. Messinger for COBRA continuation coverage for a period of 18 months. These payments, as well as the payments under the Consulting Agreement, will constitute full settlement with regards to any severance payable to Mr. Messinger under the Employment Agreement. All of these payments have been made to Mr. Messinger.
Mr. Messinger’s employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company was terminated on August 16, 2024, however he remained as acting interim principal executive officer for SEC purposes. Mr. Messinger also remained a member of the board of directors and started receiving director compensation as of his termination date.
Upon the Termination Date, the Consulting Agreement automatically became effective. Under the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Messinger agreed to provide certain consulting services as an independent contractor to TPHGreenwich related to the properties owned by TPHGreenwich, in exchange for certain consulting payments as follows: upon the earlier to occur of June 1, 2026 and (i) the sale of the Company’s Paramus property, $200,000, (ii) the sale of the property at 237 11th Street, Brooklyn, New York (the “237 11th Property”), $800,000, (iii) the receipt of the final certificate of occupancy at the 42 Trinity Place Condominium located at 77 Greenwich Street, New York, New York (the “77G Property”), $150,000, (iv) the receipt of the agreement by the builder to complete the façade remediation at the 77G Property, $150,000, (v) final completion of the façade remediation at the 77G Property, $200,000 and (vi) final resolution of the litigation related to the 237 11th Property (the “237 11th Litigation”), $400,000. The timing of the payments is conditioned on the existence of Available Cash (as defined in TPHGreenwich’s operating agreement) sufficient to make such payments; provided that TPHGreenwich must create a special reserve for payment of such amounts using the portion of the proceeds of the sale of the 237 11th Property or 237 11th Litigation distributed to TPHGreenwich by its subsidiaries which constitutes Available Cash. The Consulting Agreement will remain in effect until June 1, 2026, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms.

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Officers
In view of the Company’s current business and plans the Board has determined it is prudent to suspend the Company’s stock ownership guidelines.
Insider Trading Policy
Our Board of Directors has adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees. We believe that the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to the Company.
Anti-Hedging Policy; Anti-Pledging Policy
The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits transactions designed to limit or eliminate economic risks to our named executive officers from owning the Company’s common stock, such as transactions involving options, puts, calls, or other derivative securities tied to the Company’s common stock. Our insider trading policy also prohibits the pledging of Company stock, including use as collateral for a margin loan, by directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Timing of Awards
The Company does not grant options or stock appreciation rights to directors, officers, or employees as part of its compensation program.
Clawback Policy
In 2023, the Board adopted a clawback policy effective as of October 2, 2023 that provides for the recovery of all erroneously awarded compensation received by an executive officer in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, as required under Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the NYSE American listing standards.
Director Compensation
Prior to June 11, 2024, our director compensation program for non-employee directors was comprised of (i) annual retainer fees and (ii) chair and committee membership fees. With respect to both annual retainer fees and chair/committee fees, two-thirds are paid in cash and one-third is paid in shares of common stock. With respect to the equity portion of the fees, the grant date was the first business day of the next succeeding fiscal quarter, and the valuation for such grants was the closing price on the last trading day of the prior quarter.

All compensation is payable on a quarterly basis in arrears, on the first business day of the next succeeding fiscal quarter.
Directors do not receive any additional compensation for attending board meetings or board committee meetings. All non-employee members of the Board of Directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.
Directors may elect to receive shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of all of the cash portion of their fees; provided, that such election is made prior to January 1 of the applicable year. Once made, an election will be in effect for succeeding years, unless changed by the director.
Directors may elect to defer all, but not less than all, of the equity portion of their annual retainers and chair and committee fees until such time as the director leaves the Board in accordance with our Deferral Plan on an annual basis. In such case, the director will have a fully vested right to receive the deferred shares at the time that the director ceases to serve as a director. Directors will receive dividend equivalents with respect to the deferred shares, meaning that the directors will
receive the right to receive additional shares in lieu of any dividend that would have been paid had the shares not been deferred, based on the stock price at the time the dividends are paid to stockholders. The additional deferred shares also will be paid at the same time the director ceases to serve as a director. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had not paid a dividend. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 917,702 shares have been deferred under the Deferral Plan.
Shares of common stock, whether or not deferred, are granted to non-employee directors pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan, and deferrals are made pursuant to the Deferral Plan.
Matthew Messinger’s employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company was terminated on August 16, 2024, but he remained a member of the board of directors and started receiving director compensation as of his termination date.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
The Board has adopted a written policy for the review and approval of any “related party transaction,” which is defined under the policy as any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we or any of our subsidiaries are or will be a participant, the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any fiscal year, and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees (or
their respective immediate family members), 5% stockholders or an entity controlled by any of the foregoing or in which any of the foregoing is employed, has or will have a direct or indirect interest, other than the following:
● Any employment by us of an executive officer of the Company or any of our subsidiaries if (i) the related compensation is reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of Regulation S-K (generally applicable to “named executive officers”); or (ii) the executive officer is not an immediate family member of another executive officer or director of the Company, the related compensation would be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of Regulation S-K if the executive officer was a “named executive officer,” and our compensation committee or comparable body approved (or recommended that the Board approve) such compensation.
● Any compensation paid to a member of the Board if the compensation is reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of Regulation S-K.
● Any transaction with another company at which a related party’s only relationship is as (i) an employee other than an executive officer or director, (ii) a beneficial owner of less than 10%, together with his or her Immediate Family Members, of that company’s outstanding equity, or (iii) in the case of partnerships, a limited partner, if the limited partner, together with his or her immediate family members, has an interest of less than 10% and the limited partner does not hold another position in the partnership.
● Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by us to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related party’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $100,000 or two percent of the charitable organization’s total revenues.
● Any transaction where the related party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of a class of our equity securities and all holders of that class of equity securities received the same benefit on a pro rata basis.
● Indemnification and advancement of expenses made pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or pursuant to any agreement.
Any proposed related party transaction will be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Audit Committee. When practicable, the review and approval will occur prior to entry into the transaction. If advance review and approval is not practicable, the Audit Committee will review, and, if deemed appropriate, ratify the transaction. In either case, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors deemed appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unrelated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. The Board has also delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to approve or ratify related party transactions, subject to reporting at the next Audit Committee meeting any such approval or ratification.

Pre-Approval Policy
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, before our independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to render audit or non-audit services, the engagement must be approved by our Audit Committee or entered into pursuant to a pre-approval policy. The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which pre-approval may be given for services performed by the independent auditor. Under the policy, the Audit Committee must give prior approval for any amount or type of service within four categories - audit, audit-related, tax services or, to the extent permitted by law, other services - that the independent auditor provides. Prior to the annual engagement, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for independent auditor services within these four categories at maximum pre-approved fee levels. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval and, in those instances, such service will require separate pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee the authority to amend or modify the list of pre-approved non-audit services and fees. The Chair will report action she has taken to the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may also delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, who shall report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next scheduled meeting. All audit and non-audit services performed by BDO USA, P.C. were pre-approved by our Audit Committee during the year ended December 31, 2024.
