As a result, Winthrop now holds 100% of the mezzanine loan that has an outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest of approximately $56,150,000 and which bears interest at 15% per annum. Winthrop paid $30,000,000 for the 50% interest. Both Winthrop and its partner, through a joint venture, continue to each hold an approximately 35% indirect equity interest in the property.
