The loan is currently in default. Presidential has an opportunity for 30 days to endeavor to obtain an extension or refinancing of the loan. Thereafter, the FC Parties will continue to seek an extension/refinancing of the loan. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing are not obtained within 180 days, then the FC Parties and Presidential may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either the FC Parties or Presidential may elect to cancel the transfer of the T9 Transferred Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.

The Agreement contemplated that the Company would acquire from FC OP its 31.3333% interest in the owner of a residential community referred to as the “Avalon Property” and 66% percent (the “T9 Transferred Interest”) of its 92% interest (FC/T9 Interest) in the owner of a development property known as the “T9 Property.” The purchase price for the interests is payable in limited partnership interests in Presidential OP (“Presidential OP Units”) convertible under certain conditions into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.
The Company’s acquisition of the interest in the Avalon Property was completed on January 6, 2017. The Avalon Property consists of 251 non-contiguous single-family, residential lots and a 10,000 square foot clubhouse, within the Jubilee at Los Lunas subdivision located in Los Lunas, New Mexico (the “Avalon Property”). At the Closing, in exchange for the contribution to Presidential OP of FC OP’s membership interests in Avalon, FC OP received 4,632,000 Presidential OP Units in, and became a limited partner of, Presidential OP.

13. Subsequent Events (Continued)
Thereafter, the FC Parties will continue to seek an extension/refinancing of the loan. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing are not obtained within 180 days, then the FC Parties and Presidential may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either the FC Parties or Presidential may elect to cancel the transfer of the T9 Transferred Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.
The number of Presidential OP Units ultimately issued if these conditions are satisfied is subject to adjustment based on the new appraisal and the amount of the mortgage debt (the extended/refinanced loan) at that time. These adjustments could result in a material change in the number of Presidential OP Units that are ultimately issued and delivered if the conditions are satisfied. The final number of Presidential OP Units will be determined by taking the amount of the new appraisal, subtracting therefrom the amount of the extended/refinanced loan and the legal costs and expenses incurred by the Company in securing the extended/refinanced loan and multiplying the amount thereby obtained by 66%. As a result of the conditional nature of the transfer of the Transferred Interest, the Company will not be reflecting the Transferred Interest in its financial statements until the conditions in the Second Amendment have been satisfied and the applicable number of OP Units has been determined and issued.
In connection with the Agreement, Palisades Pacific Realty Trust, Inc (“Palisades”) became a consultant to the Company to provide services relating to the integration of the First Capital properties (the interests in the Avalon Property and T9 Property) and in connection with potential capital raising activities.

Palisades has requested reimbursement of certain other expenses which the Company believes it is not responsible for.
In connection with and as a condition of the Agreement, on January 6, 2017, the Company entered into various agreements with the officers, directors and Management of the Company to restructure amounts owed to them as well as change the equity compensation due or held by them.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Entry into Second Amendment to Interest Contribution Agreement
As previously disclosed on Forms 8-K filed by Presidential Realty Corporation (the “Company”), on December 20, 2016 and January 12, 2017, respectively, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein, the Company and its newly formed operating partnership, Presidential Realty Operating Partnership LP (“Presidential OP,” and together with the Company, the “Presidential Parties”), entered into an interest contribution agreement (the “Initial Agreement”) with First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated (“FC REIT”), First Capital Real Estate Operating Partnership (“FC OP, and together with FC REIT, the “FC Parties”), the operating partnership of FC REIT, Township Nine Owner, LLC (“T9 JV”), Capital Station Holdings, LLC, Capital Station Member, LLC, Capital Station 65 LLC and Avalon Jubilee LLC (“Avalon”). On January 6, 2017, the Company and the other parties to the Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Initial Agreement (the “First Amendment,” and, together with the Initial Agreement, the “Agreement”). On March 31, 2017, the Company and the other parties to the Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement (the “Second Amendment”).
FC OP is the owner of 92% of the limited liability company interests and profit participation interests in T9 JV (the “FC/T9 Interest”). T9 JV is, indirectly through various subsidiaries, the sole owner of 100% of certain equity interests related to 23 parcels of land located in Sacramento, California (collectively, the “T9 Properties”). Under the Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment, on March 31, FC OP transferred to PRES-T9 Holdings LLC, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Presidential OP (“PRES-T9”), 66% of the FC T9 Interest (“Transferred Interest”), and in exchange Presidential OP preliminarily agreed to issue $32,649,000 of its operating partnership units (“OP Units”), valued at $1.00 per OP Unit, subject to adjustment and the conditions described below. The final amount of the OP Units to be issued by Presidential OP for the transfer of the Transferred Interest is subject to adjustment, and the issuance of any OP Units is entirely conditional on the satisfactory completion of the conditions described below.
The Second Amendment provides for the satisfaction of certain conditions prior to the issuance and delivery of 100% of the OP Units to be issued in connection with the transaction. Those OP Units will be held back (the “Holdback Units”) until a new appraisal of the FC/T9 Interest has been obtained and the loan secured by the T9 Properties has been extended or refinanced. The loan is currently in default. Presidential has an opportunity for 30 days to endeavor to obtain an extension or refinancing of the loan. Thereafter, the FC Parties will continue to seek an extension/refinancing of the loan. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing are not obtained within 180 days, then the FC Parties and the Presidential Parties may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either the FC Parties or the Presidential Parties may elect to cancel the transfer of the Transferred Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.
The number of OP Units ultimately issued if these conditions are satisfied is subject to adjustment based on the new appraisal and the amount of the mortgage debt (the extended/refinanced loan) at that time. These adjustments could result in a material change in the number of OP Units that are ultimately issued and delivered if the conditions are satisfied. The final number of OP Units will be determined by taking the amount of the new appraisal, subtracting therefrom the amount of the extended/refinanced loan and the legal costs and expenses incurred by the Company in securing the extended/refinanced loan and multiplying the amount thereby obtained by 66%. As a result of the conditional nature of the transfer of the Transferred Interest, the Company will not be reflecting the Transferred Interest in its financial statements until the conditions in the Second Amendment have been satisfied and the applicable number of OP Units has been determined and issued.
The Second Amendment grants demand registration rights to the FC Parties and their partners and stockholders for the OP Units issued and to be issued pursuant to the Agreement and the common stock of Presidential issuable upon conversion of those OP Units. The registration rights of the OP Units are exercisable only after the satisfaction of the conditions described above and issuance of the Holdback Units and are intended to permit FC OP to distribute the OP Units to its limited partners, including FC REIT, and to permit FC REIT to distribute the OP Units it receives to its stockholders, without restriction. It is not intended to create a market in the OP Units.
There are currently two vacancies on the Company’s six person Board of Directors. Subject to review by the Company’s Nominating Committee and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Second Amendment provides that Serge Kasarda and Richard Shea will be elected by the Company’s Board of Directors to fill the two vacancies. Both individuals have strong backgrounds in the finance and real estate sectors and are veterans of Blackrock, Inc.
In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company approved a new business strategy to focus its future investments in the healthcare sector. In furtherance of that strategy, subject to review and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Second Amendment provides for the appointment of a new management team to be led by Serge Kasarda to implement the new business strategy.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Second Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Entry into the Limited Liability Company Agreement of T9 JV
On February 5, 2016, FC OP and T-9 Developers, LLC (“T9 Developers”) entered into the Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “T9 Owner Agreement”) of Township Nine Owner, LLC (T9 JV). Pursuant to the T9 Owner Agreement, T9 Developers formerly acted as the day-to-day development manager of T9 JV and developer of the T9 Properties. For a description of the material terms of the T9 Owner Agreement, please refer to FC REIT’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 5, 2016.
In contemplation of the transactions described in the Second Amendment, on March 31, 2017, FC OP and T9 Developers entered into the First Amendment to Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the T9 Owner Agreement in contemplation of the admission of PRES-T9 as a member. The First Amendment, among other things, replaces T9 Developers as the day-to-day manager of T9 JV with FC OP and replaces the managers of T9 JV designated by T9 Developers with three managers designated by PRES-T9. Under the First Amendment, the management board will consist of a total of six managers, three designated by FC OP and three designated by PRES-T9. Each manager has one vote and all actions of the management board require the vote, approval or consent of a majority of the managers. Actions requiring the vote, consent, approval or determination of the members of T9 JV require the vote, consent, approval or determination of the members holding at least two-thirds of the outstanding units of T9 JV. PRES-T9 will hold 60,720, FC OP will hold 31,280 and T9 Developers will hold 8,000 units of T9 JV. PRES-T9 will not be required to pay any fees to T9 JV in connection with its admission as a member of T9 JV.
On March 31, 2017, as transferee of the Transferred Interest, PRES-T9 executed a Joinder and became party to the T9 Owner Agreement, as amended.
The foregoing summary of the material terms of the T9 Owner Agreement and the First Amendment is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete texts of (a) the original T9 Owner Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein; and (b) the First Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

First Capital Takes Another Step Towards Completing Its Strategic Transaction With Presidential Realty
NEW YORK, March 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated ("First Capital"), a public non-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") incorporated in Maryland, today announced it has entered into a second amendment to the previously announced Interest Contribution Agreement dated December 16, 2016, as amended, with Presidential Realty Corporation (OTC: PDNLA/PDNLB) ("Presidential"), a REIT incorporated in Delaware.
On January 6, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the interest contribution agreement, First Capital (through its operating partnership) contributed to Presidential's wholly-owned operating partnership ("Presidential OP") its indirect ownership interests in Avalon Jubilee LLC in exchange for 4,632,000 units of limited partnership interest ("OP Units") in Presidential OP. OP Units are convertible into a like number of newly issued shares of Presidential Class B common stock. The underlying Avalon Jubilee properties consist of 251 non-contiguous single-family residential lots and a 10,000 square foot clubhouse located within the Jubilee at Los Lunas subdivision in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
On March 31, 2017, in connection with the second amendment, First Capital (through its operating partnership) transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Presidential OP 66% (the "T9 Ownership Interest") of First Capital's 92% ownership interest in Township Nine Owner, LLC, which indirectly owns a 63-acre mixed-use development project located in downtown Sacramento, California (the "T9 Property"). The T9 Property is anticipated to include high-rise residential, office, hotel and retail properties. In the second amendment, Presidential OP agreed to issue 32,649,000 OP Units to First Capital in exchange for the T9 Ownership Interest. That issuance of OP Units is subject to a hold-back requirement until certain conditions are met. These conditions include a new appraisal of the T9 Ownership Interest and a work out of the mortgage debt secured by the underlying T9 Property. That mortgage debt is currently in default. The number of OP Units ultimately issued if these conditions are satisfied is subject to adjustment based on the new appraisal and the amount of the mortgage debt at that time, and these adjustments could result in a material change in the number of OP Units that are ultimately issued and delivered if the conditions are satisfied. Presidential agreed to endeavor for the next 30 days to obtain an extension or refinancing of the mortgage debt. Certain other conditions to the transaction were waived. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing is not obtained within 180 days, then First Capital and Presidential may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either First Capital or Presidential may elect to cancel the transfer of the T9 Ownership Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.
The second amendment also provides that Serge Kasarda and Richard Shea, both veterans of BlackRock, will be elected by the Presidential board of directors to fill the two vacancies on the board, subject to board approval, and that Mr. Kasarda will be appointed to lead a new Presidential management team, subject to board approval. In connection with the second amendment, the Presidential board approved a business strategy to seek investments in the healthcare industry.
Serge Kasarda is a 25-year real estate industry veteran and founder and Chief Executive Officer of Seventieth Street Asset Management. Mr. Kasarda founded Seventieth Street in 2008 after leaving BlackRock, where he started the firm's joint venture equity group before joining its real estate high yield debt group. Prior to his time at Blackrock, Mr. Kasarda was a Senior Vice President at Bank of America responsible for originating transitional real estate loans and working out non-performing loans of acquired banks.
"This transaction is over a year in the making, and we are excited to move forward with this strategic transaction with Presidential, a company with a legacy dating back to 1909," said Suneet Singal, Chief Executive Officer of First Capital.
For additional information about the second amendment to the Interest Contribution Agreement, please see First Capital's Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC and which will be available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The second amendment will be filed as an exhibit to that Form 8-K.

First Capital also notes that no assurances can be provided that the two conditions to the completion of the transactions contemplated in the second amendment to the Interest Contribution Agreement, as amended, will in fact be satisfied in light of the difficulty of negotiating an acceptable extension or refinancing of the debt secured by the T9 Property and the uncertainties associated in obtaining an appraisal of the T9 Ownership Interest.

First Capital Takes Another Step Towards Completing Its Strategic Transaction With Presidential Realty
BY PR Newswire
— 6:13 PM ET 03/31/2017
NEW YORK, March 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated ("First Capital"), a public non-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") incorporated in Maryland, today announced it has entered into a second amendment to the previously announced Interest Contribution Agreement dated December 16, 2016, as amended, with Presidential Realty Corporation ( PDNLA
Loading...
Loading...
) ("Presidential"), a REIT incorporated in Delaware.
On January 6, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the interest contribution agreement, First Capital (through its operating partnership) contributed to Presidential's wholly-owned operating partnership ("Presidential OP") its indirect ownership interests in Avalon Jubilee LLC in exchange for 4,632,000 units of limited partnership interest ("OP Units") in Presidential OP. OP Units are convertible into a like number of newly issued shares of Presidential Class B common stock. The underlying Avalon Jubilee properties consist of 251 non-contiguous single-family residential lots and a 10,000 square foot clubhouse located within the Jubilee at Los Lunas subdivision in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
On March 31, 2017, in connection with the second amendment, First Capital (through its operating partnership) transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Presidential OP 66% (the "T9 Ownership Interest") of First Capital's 92% ownership interest in Township Nine Owner, LLC, which indirectly owns a 63-acre mixed-use development project located in downtown Sacramento, California (the "T9 Property"). The T9 Property is anticipated to include high-rise residential, office, hotel and retail properties. In the second amendment, Presidential OP agreed to issue 32,649,000 OP Units to First Capital in exchange for the T9 Ownership Interest. That issuance of OP Units is subject to a hold-back requirement until certain conditions are met. These conditions include a new appraisal of the T9 Ownership Interest and a work out of the mortgage debt secured by the underlying T9 Property. That mortgage debt is currently in default. The number of OP Units ultimately issued if these conditions are satisfied is subject to adjustment based on the new appraisal and the amount of the mortgage debt at that time, and these adjustments could result in a material change in the number of OP Units that are ultimately issued and delivered if the conditions are satisfied. Presidential agreed to endeavor for the next 30 days to obtain an extension or refinancing of the mortgage debt. Certain other conditions to the transaction were waived. If the appraisal and the loan extension/refinancing is not obtained within 180 days, then First Capital and Presidential may within 10 days mutually agree in writing to extend the time to complete the extension/refinancing of the loan, or either First Capital or Presidential may elect to cancel the transfer of the T9 Ownership Interest following 10 days prior written notice to the other party.
The second amendment also provides that Serge Kasarda and Richard Shea, both veterans of BlackRock, will be elected by the Presidential board of directors to fill the two vacancies on the board, subject to board approval, and that Mr. Kasarda will be appointed to lead a new Presidential management team, subject to board approval. In connection with the second amendment, the Presidential board approved a business strategy to seek investments in the healthcare industry.
Serge Kasarda is a 25-year real estate industry veteran and founder and Chief Executive Officer of Seventieth Street Asset Management. Mr. Kasarda founded Seventieth Street in 2008 after leaving BlackRock, where he started the firm's joint venture equity group before joining its real estate high yield debt group. Prior to his time at Blackrock, Mr. Kasarda was a Senior Vice President at Bank of America responsible for originating transitional real estate loans and working out non-performing loans of acquired banks.
"This transaction is over a year in the making, and we are excited to move forward with this strategic transaction with Presidential, a company with a legacy dating back to 1909," said Suneet Singal, Chief Executive Officer of First Capital.
For additional information about the second amendment to the Interest Contribution Agreement, please see First Capital's Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC and which will be available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. The second amendment will be filed as an exhibit to that Form 8-K.

And so what if Monet wants to merge his assets into Presidential?
I'm sure this is a strong possibility...
JOAQUIN DE MONET
FOUNDER & MANAGING PRINCIPAL
Joaquin de Monet is a leader in the commercial real estate industry with expertise in global real estate advisory and investment management services. He has led teams of high-performance real professionals worldwide, and has a successful track record for executing large equity and debt transactions in the United States and Latin America, and for building, operating and managing multi-billion dollar real estate businesses and portfolios.
In 2013, de Monet founded and serves as managing principal of Palisades Capital Realty Advisors, LLC, a boutique commercial real estate advisory firm that brings customized real estate investment solutions to private capital (high net-worth and family office) for US and Latin American investors.
In the first quarter of 2014, de Monet formed partnerships with high-powered investors to build value-add real estate portfolios, under the auspices of Palisades Mexico Partners, LLC, and Woodside Palisades Partners, LLC.
Palisades Mexico Partners is a joint venture between de Monet and Sergio Argüelles, president/CEO of Monterrey, Mexico-based FINSA, which established Palisades Private Capital Fund I. Targeting $100 million in investments, this Fund connects high net-worth individuals and family office investors from Mexico and Latin America with value-add, Class A and B office assets in growing Western U.S. suburban office markets.
Properties acquired by Palisades Private Capital Fund I during the second quarter of 2014 include 2929 Imperial, a two-story, 121,143-square-foot, office building in Brea, California, for $20.8 million, and Chandler Corporate Center, a two-story, 67,561-square-foot Class A office asset in Chandler, Arizona, for $13.9 million.
Woodside Palisades Partners is a joint venture of de Monet and a group of Silicon Valley investors that is targeting value-add and core-plus quality assets, with strong yields and capital appreciation, in markets west of the Mississippi River.
This partnership, which sponsors and manages its own investments, acquired its first assets in the second quarter of 2014 - two Class A office buildings, Cascade Station I and II, which total 127,000 square feet, at Cascade Station in Portland Oregon, an office/retail mixed-used development situated along the key, light-rail airport connector. Cascade I is LEED-Gold Certified.
Prior to establishing Palisades Capital Realty Advisors, de Monet demonstrated his executive leadership and international real estate acumen as president/CEO of Arden Realty, Inc., a national real estate investment trust (REIT), when Arden was purchased by General Electric and as head of GE Capital’s business operations in Mexico.
Under his leadership from 2006 to 2013, Arden/GE expanded from a REIT focused primarily on Southern California office assets to a national presence with a 27 million square foot portfolio of office and industrial properties, valued at $5 billion. Under his guidance, Arden’s senior management team developed a dynamic, value-add investor and trader with a highly successful strategic capital recycling program that included more than $6 billion of real estate transactions in 24 months.
De Monet's deep domain expertise in the areas of leasing and operations lead to the creation of GE's Global Leasing and Operations Center of Excellence, GE's international commercial real estate portfolio of more than of 100 million square feet, driving best practices in leasing, operational excellence and collaboration across global teams. He also served as the business champion of a company-wide initiative, GE Advantage to improve tenant satisfaction and retention.
Prior to Arden, as GE Capital’s business leader in Mexico, de Monet led a high-performance global team and originated $2.5 billion in loans and invested $500 million of equity, making GE Capital the largest foreign real estate lender in Mexico at the time.
De Monet is actively involved in both community and industry endeavors. He has been recognized with the City of Hope’s highest honor, the Spirit of Life award, and founded Arden in the Community, a volunteer program that has generated more than 20,000 service hours to local communities.

De Monet also was an inaugural member of GE Capital Real Estate's Executive Council, serving from 2008 through 2013. He is a graduate of USC.
