NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Trinity Place Holdings Inc. (OTC PINK: TPHS) (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) today announced operating results for its fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company is an intellectual property holding, investment, and commercialization company. We own and control a portfolio of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, a legacy of our predecessor, Syms Corp. (“Syms”), including FilenesBasement.com, our rights to the Stanley Blacker® brand, as well as the intellectual property associated with the Running of the Brides® event and the An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer® slogan. Our strategy today centers on monetizing these assets through brand licensing, e-commerce initiatives, strategic partnerships, and protection and enforcement of our intellectual property rights.
Secured Promissory Note
On February 18, 2025, the Company issued a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Steel Promissory Note”) to Steel Connect, LLC (the “Steel Lender”), an affiliate of Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (“Steel Partners”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $5.0 million from the Steel Lender. The Steel Promissory Note is secured by a pledge of all of the assets of the Company. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $1.3 million, including accrued interest, was outstanding under the Steel Promissory Note.
Steel Services Agreement
As of March 19, 2025, Steel Services Ltd. (“Steel Services”), an affiliate of Steel Partners, and the Company entered into a management services agreement (the “Steel MSA”) pursuant to which Steel Services agreed to provide certain managerial services to the Company. Pursuant to the Steel MSA, for a period of one year (which shall renew automatically for additional one-year terms unless otherwise terminated), Steel Services shall provide certain managerial services to the Company, including general assistance with legal, finance & treasury, internal audit, human resources, IT, tax functions and obligations, and intellectual property services. In consideration for the services rendered under the Steel MSA, the Company shall pay Steel Services $10.0 thousand monthly.
Pension Settlement and Plan Asset Reversion
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax settlement charge of $2.6 million due to the purchase of a group of annuity contracts related to the termination of the legacy pension plan, as well as $0.5 million excise tax on the estimated reversion of pension plan assets. The termination of the Pension Plan was finalized in July 2025 upon all pension plan liabilities being fully settled, and all benefits due to participants and beneficiaries being paid. The Company received cash proceeds of approximately $0.9 million related to the reversion of the pension plan assets and paid approximately $0.4 million for the related excise tax. As of December 31, 2025, no assets or liabilities remained in the pension plan.
Stock Repurchases
During the year ended December 31 2025, the Company entered an agreement with a shareholder (the “Seller”) pursuant to which the Company committed to repurchase (1) 1,100,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, and (2) one share of the Company’s Special Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Special Stock”, and together with the Common Stock, the “Purchased Shares”) from the Seller in exchange for a cash payment of $0.04 per share of Common Stock and $0.04 for the Special Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $44.0 thousand. The Special Stock provided the Seller the right to appoint a member to the Board of Directors, which right was retired by the Company.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company executed another agreement with another shareholder pursuant to which the Company repurchased 200,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share for a total cash payment of $8.0 thousand, representing a purchase price of $0.04 per share.
Net Operating Losses
As of December 31, 2025, we had federal NOLs of approximately $329.5 million. NOLs generated prior to tax-year 2018 will expire in years through fiscal 2037 while NOLs generated in 2018 and forward carry-over indefinitely. Since 2009 through December 31, 2025, we have utilized approximately $45.8 million of our federal NOLs. As of December 31, 2025, we also had state NOLs of approximately $337.4 million. These state NOLs have various expiration dates through 2042, if applicable. We also had additional New York State and New York City prior NOL conversion (“PNOLC”) subtraction pools of approximately $5.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The conversion to the PNOLC under the New York State and New York City corporate tax reforms does not have any material tax impact.
Based on management’s assessment, it is more likely than not that the entire deferred tax assets will not be realized by future taxable income or tax planning strategies. Accordingly, valuation allowance of $91.6 million was recorded as of December 31, 2025. If our assumptions change and we determine that we will be able to realize these NOLs, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets would be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense and an increase in the deferred tax asset.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) limited the deductibility of NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, to 80 percent of taxable income (computed without regard to the NOL deduction) for the taxable year. Any changes in tax laws or regulations could impact the realization of these NOLs.
Note that our certificate of incorporation includes a provision intended to help preserve certain tax benefits primarily associated with our NOLs. This provision generally prohibits transfers of stock that would result in a person or group of persons becoming a 4.75 percent stockholder, or that would result in an increase or decrease in stock ownership by a person or group of persons that is an existing 4.75 percent stockholder.
