Schedule 13D
Page 5 of 7


Explanatory Note
Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 7”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated April 11, 2013 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 on December 8, 2015 (the “Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 on February 14, 2017 (the “Amendment No. 2”), Amendment No. 3 on April 7, 2017 (the “Amendment No. 3”), Amendment No. 4 on February 20, 2018 (the “Amendment No. 4”), Amendment No. 5 on June 12, 2019 (the “Amendment No. 5”) and Amendment No. 6 on October 25, 2021 (the “Amendment No. 6”).  The Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6 and this Amendment No. 7 are together referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D”.  This Schedule 13D represents an initial Schedule 13D filing for Jennifer C. Price.
This Amendment No. 7 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Trinity Place Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Trinity” or the “Company”), owned by the Reporting Persons.  This Schedule 13D reflects, among other things: (i) the passing of Michael F. Price on March 14, 2022, and (ii) that Jennifer C. Price, the widow of Mr. Price, became the managing director of MFP and MFP Investors, and therefore, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares beneficially owned by them. Except as specifically amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6 and this Amendment No. 7, items in the Schedule 13D are unchanged.  Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing sections (a), (c) and (f) of Item 2 with the following:
“(a)    This Statement is being filed on behalf of MFP Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MFP”), MFP Investors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and general partner of MFP (“MFP Investors”), and Jennifer Cook Price, managing director of MFP and MFP Investors (each of the foregoing, a “Reporting Person,” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).  The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Statement jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.”
“(c)    The principal business of MFP is that of making investments.  MFP Investors is a registered investment advisor and serves as the general partner of MFP.  Ms. Price serves as managing director of MFP and MFP Investors.
“(f)    MFP and MFP Investors are each organized under the laws of Delaware.  Ms. Price is a citizen of the United States of America.”
Item 3. Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end of Item 3:
“Since the filing of Amendment No. 6, MFP acquired 347,700 shares of Common Stock in a broker transaction on May 5, 2022 at $1.10 per share for a total purchase price of $382,470.  The source of funds for the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock by MFP was working capital.
On March 14, 2022, Michael F. Price passed away.  Jennifer C. Price, the widow of Mr. Price, became the managing director of MFP and MFP Investors, and therefore, may be deemed to beneficially own the securities beneficially owned by MFP and MFP Investors.”
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing sections (a), (b), (c) and (e) of Item 5 with the following:
“(a) MFP directly owns 9,161,501 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 24.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  ; The ownership percentage set forth above is based on 36,836,146 shares of Common Stock outstanding as set forth in the issuer’s most recent Form 10-K.”
“(b) Due to their respective relationships with MFP and each other, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock directly owned by MFP.”
“(c) The information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 7 shall be incorporated herein by reference.  Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, there have been no other transactions by the Reporting Persons in the Issuer’s Common Stock during the past sixty days.”
