Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Written consent to the following three proposals by participants in Empire State Building Associates L.L.C. (the "Company") was solicited by the
supervisor of the Company: (i) a proposal to approve a consolidation transaction, (ii) a third-party portfolio proposal and (iii) voluntary pro rata reimbursement for litigation and arbitration costs. The period for consenting to the
consolidation for those who received the buyout notice described below (including extensions of the 10-day buyout period) has not yet terminated. The period has been extended for one participant, which is an estate, that has advised that it will
provide its consent to the consolidation transaction as soon as it receives a court order authorizing the executor to act on behalf of the estate.
Each
proposal is described in detail in the prospectus/consent solicitation statement of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. dated January 21, 2013, as supplemented, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
1.
The proposal to approve the consolidation transaction.
This proposal received the consent of 100% of the
participants in each group, except for the one participant described above that will provide its consent upon receipt of the necessary court order. This result includes participants who voted in favor of the consolidation after receipt of the buyout
notice. Following the receipt of the required supermajority approval, each participant who had voted against, or abstained, or not submitted a consent form regarding the consolidation proposal, was sent a 10-day buyout notice. All participants who
received the buyout notice, except for the one participant described above, consented to the consolidation proposal, and no participation interests were bought out.
Consents from participants in each of the participating groups holding more than the required super-majority (80%) of the participating interests were
received prior to sending the buyout notices on June 12, 2013. The vote results detailed below represent final results, as certified by Corporate Election Services, the Inspector of Election, through the date the buyout notices were sent:
