Item 8.01 Other Events

Winthrop Realty Trust (the "Company") is re-issuing in an updated format its historical financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 17, 2009 (the "Original Filing"). On May 11, 2009 and August 10, 2009, the Company filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively (the "Quarterly Reports"), which reflected the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment to ARB 51," ("SFAS 160") as further described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Quarterly Reports. The Quarterly Reports included retrospective revisions of prior-period amounts to conform to the 2009 presentation as required by SFAS 160. The same retrospective revisions are required for previously-issued annual financial statements for each of the three years shown in the Original Filing if those financial statements are incorporated by reference in subsequent filings made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This Report on Form 8-K also includes certain disclosures of material events (unaudited) occurring subsequent to the date of the Independent Auditors Report relating to its equity investment in Lex-Win Concord LLC.

This Report on Form 8-K is being filed to update Items 6, 7, 7A, and 8 in Part II of the Original Filing in their entirety to conform to the 2009 presentation as required by SFAS 160 included in the Quarterly Reports. The aforementioned retrospective revisions had no effect on the Company's previously reported net income attributable to common shareholders or the related basic/diluted per share amounts.

This Form 8-K does not attempt to modify or update any other disclosures set forth in the Original Filing, except as required to reflect the aforementioned amended information. In addition, except for the amended information included herein, this Form 8-K speaks as of the filing date of the Original Filing and does not update or discuss any other developments affecting the Company subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.
