GRAPEVINE, Texas, Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — On October 8, 2014, United Development Funding III, L.P. (the “Partnership”), a non-traded, publicly registered Delaware limited partnership, announced it has formed a special committee comprised of independent advisors to evaluate potential strategic alternatives for the Partnership, including (i) a possible sale transaction involving the Partnership, (ii) the possible listing of the Partnership’s units of limited partnership interest on a national securities exchange, (iii) a possible acquisition transaction involving the Partnership and/or (iv) a possible merger with a publicly listed company.
Hollis M. Greenlaw, CEO of our General Partner stated: “Our cohesive team of senior management and asset managers provides a wealth of homebuilding and land development experience and has consistently demonstrated our ability to execute our strategic plan by acquiring and managing residential real estate loans and producing a stable yield. The strength of the housing recovery presents an optimal time to evaluate opportunities to facilitate our continued growth in Texas and expand into the largest homebuilding markets across the country. We now look to add further value and investor liquidity through the pursuit of one or more strategic alternatives.”
