EXPLANATORY NOTE
On June 10, 2025, New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”), which disclosed, among other things, that certain material agreements were being filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 thereto. However, due to an administrative error, the Original 8-K did not include any exhibits. The Partnership previously filed the Master Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2021, with a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 6, 2021. The Partnership hereby amends the Original 8-K to revise the disclosure, provide additional information to more accurately and completely describe the agreements being filed and include the omitted exhibits, as set forth below. Except as described herein, this amendment does not otherwise modify or update any disclosures in the Original 8-K and does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original 8-K.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 30, 2025, New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), entered into Reaffirmation, Joinder and Second Amendment to Master Credit Facility Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the Master Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2021 (as previously amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the “Facility”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank” or the “Original Lender”) and Fannie Mae, a corporation duly organized under the Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act, as amended, 12 U.S.C. §1716 et seq., and existing under the laws of the United States ("Fannie Mae"). All capitalized terms that are not defined in this Current Report have the meaning as defined in the Amendment.
Pursuant to the Amendment, (i) Lender agreed to provide the Partnership with (x) a Future Advance in the amount of $18,664,000, at a fixed interest rate of 5.84%; and (y) a Future Advance in the amount of $40,000,000, at a fixed interest rate of 5.99%; (ii) Additional Mortgaged Property has been added to the Collateral Pool (the “Mortgage”); and (iii) Hamilton Highlands, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, a wholly owned by the Partnership, has been joined as Additional Borrower into the Master Agreement and other Loan Documents as if it were an Original Borrower thereunder.
The Partnership used the proceeds of the Hamilton Highlands advance in the amount of $18,664,000, to refinance its existing loan with Brookline Bank.
The Partnership intends to use the proceeds of the $40,000,000 advance, together with existing cash on hand and a bridge loan from KeyBank, to purchase the Hill Estates property in Belmont, Massachusetts.
The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Mortgage does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the respective documents, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
As previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2025, the Partnership entered into a Rate Lock Authorization Agreement with the Bank in connection with a proposed $18,759,000 refinancing of Hamilton Highlands property and a $40,000,000 advance under the Facility.
