Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 16, 2015, Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Liquidating Trust, successor in interest to Behringer Harvard Short-Term Opportunity Fund I LP (which may be referred to as the “Trust”, “we,” “our,” or “us”), entered into an agreement to sell its right in a back-end promoted interest in distributable cash related to the 2011 sale of 5050 Quorum in Dallas, Texas (“Promoted Interest”) to a related party of its managing trustee, Behringer Harvard Advisors II LP (“Managing Trustee”).

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 25, 2015, Behringer Harvard 1221 Coit LP, a 90% owned subsidiary of the Trust, sold approximately five acres of land (“1221 Coit Road Land”) in Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, Texas to an unaffiliated buyer, Huey Investments, Inc. The contract sales price for 1221 Coit Road Land was $1.1 million, exclusive of closing costs.

On December 16, 2015 the Trust sold its remaining asset, its Promoted Interest, to a related party of the Managing Trustee. The contract sales price for the Promoted Interest, exclusive of closing costs, was $1.1 million. Proceeds were used to pay off existing indebtedness. The contract sales price for the Promoted Interest was based upon the fair market value of the asset as determined in accordance with the procedure provided in the Trust’s liquidating trust agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions for sales of trust assets to the Managing Trustee and its affiliates. In accordance with such procedures, the fair market value was based upon third party appraisal reports.

As a result of the sales, we have no remaining investments.

Item 8.01

On or about December 18, 2015, the Trust made a final liquidating distribution of approximately $12.8 million, or $1.19 per unit, to our unit holders of record as of December 17, 2015. This final distribution consists of the net cash proceeds from the dispositions of our final assets and all other cash available for distribution, after satisfaction of all contingent liabilities and reserves for payment of all remaining fund costs.
