Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure
to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed
by New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on November 10, 2022, the Company was unable to timely file the Partnership’s Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022
(the “Delayed Report”). On November 15, 2022, New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
received a notification letter from the Corporate Compliance Department of the NYSE American Exchange (the “NYSE American”)
indicating that as of November 15, 2022, the Partnership is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s standards for continued listing
of the Partnership’s Depositary Receipts on the NYSE American as set forth in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the
“Company Guide”). The Company failed to timely file (the “Filing Delinquency”) the Delayed Report. The NYSE American
notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Partnership’s Depositary Receipts on the NYSE American,
nor will it have any effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations. The Filing Delinquency is the result
of a cybersecurity incident involving ransomware that involved The Hamilton Company, Inc. (“Hamilton”). Hamilton has been
engaged by NewReal, Inc., the general partner of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the “Company”) to perform
general management functions for the Company’s properties in exchange for management fees. This incident was previously reported
in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 11, 2022. The Filing Delinquency will be cured via the
filing of the Delayed Report.
Pursuant to the Section 1007 of the Company Guide,
NYSE Regulation staff will review the Company periodically for the status of the Delayed Report and any other delayed filings. If the
Company does not complete its Delayed Filing and any subsequently delayed filings with the SEC by the end of the six-month cure period
on May 15, 2023, the NYSE American, acting in its sole discretion, may extend the cure period for an additional six months. If the Filing
Delinquency and any subsequent filing delinquencies are not cured by the end of the cure period, including any extension, Exchange staff
will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company may appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section
1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide. The Company expects to file the Delayed Report prior to the expiration of the initial six-month
cure period.
A copy of the Partnership’s press release
announcing receipt of the notification letter from the Corporate Compliance Department of the NYSE American, as required by Section 402
of the Company Guide, is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
