Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and NTS Realty Capital, Inc. (“Realty Capital”), our managing general partner, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 27, 2012, with NTS Merger Parent, LLC (“Parent”), an entity controlled by our founder and Chairman, J.D. Nichols, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian F. Lavin, and NTS Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”, and together with Mr. Nichols, Mr. Lavin, Parent and certain of their respective affiliates, the “Purchasers”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Upon consummation of the transactions proposed in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company and the Company would continue as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, we entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) on December 27, 2012 with the Purchasers in which they agreed to vote their limited partnership units in the Company in favor of approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

On October 18, 2013, the special committee of Realty Capital’s board of directors delivered notice (“Notice”) to Parent and Merger Sub informing Parent and Merger Sub that the special committee, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, has conducted a thorough review of the Company’s rights and options under the Merger Agreement. Having completed this phase of its review and analysis, the special committee terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) thereof as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to close by September 30, 2013. In making this decision, the Special Committee weighed numerous factors, including the improving financial performance of the Company during the nine months that have passed since the execution of the Merger Agreement, and determined that, on balance, it was in the best interests of the unaffiliated holders of the Company’s limited partnership units to terminate the Merger Agreement at this time. The Notice further provides that notwithstanding the termination, the special committee continues to consider additional potential actions, and reserves all of its rights. A copy of the Notice is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreement has also terminated pursuant to its terms. The material terms of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2012, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

On October 18, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the termination of the Merger Agreement discussed in Item 1.02 of this Current Report. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
