Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On September 7, 2018, New York REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on a proposal to approve the conversion of the Company from a Maryland corporation to a Delaware limited liability company to be known as New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “LLC”), in accordance with Maryland law and Delaware law pursuant to articles of conversion, a certificate of conversion and a certificate of formation, and to approve the operating agreement of the LLC (the “Conversion Proposal”). The Company’s stockholders approved the Conversion Proposal.

The full results of the Conversion Proposal voted on at the Special Meeting are set forth below:

For		Against		Abstain		Broker Non-Votes
10,469,118		35,117		1,404,615		432,745
