Tue, March 17, 2009 NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership: NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership Announces First Quarter Distribution
LOUISVILLE, KY--(Marketwire - March 17, 2009) - (
Distributions to limited partners are made in accordance with the Company's distribution policy as described in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2008. The Company previously indicated that its second, third and fourth quarter distributions in 2008 were reduced in comparison to the distributions made in corresponding quarters of 2007 primarily because of uncertainties concerning real estate taxes payable for three of the Company's properties located in Marion County, Indiana. To date, the Company is not aware of any material information that changes or updates the previously reported disclosure concerning these real estate taxes. Additionally, the overall condition of the U.S. economy, although not currently presenting any specific significant concern to the Company, continues to have the potential to adversely affect the Company's operations. Due to the continued uncertainty of the real estate tax situation and the present challenges caused by the U.S. economy, the board of directors of the Company's managing general partner approved the aforementioned first quarter distribution in an amount consistent with the fourth quarter distribution in 2008.
A spokesperson for the Company indicated that, "Although the Company currently expects to continue its conservative philosophy with respect to distributions in the second quarter of 2009, the amount of any future distributions will be subject to the performance of the Company's properties, its potential acquisitions and dispositions, the need for cash reserves and other factors, including, but not limited to the continued volatility being exhibited in the global financial markets and the U.S. economy and the outcome of the pending tax appeals. In addition, the actual amount and timing of all future distributions must be approved by the managing general partner's board of directors."
The Company also announced today that its annual meeting of limited partners will be held on June 9, 2009 at The Overlook at St. Thomas Apartments Clubhouse, which is located at 6800 Steeprun Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40241. All limited partners of record as of April 21, 2009, will be invited to attend. More detailed information on the annual meeting will be included in the Company's definitive proxy statement.
