(NASDAQ: ATAX) (the “Partnership”), announced today that the Board of Managers (the “Board”) of Greystone AF Manager LLC, which is the general partner of the Partnership’s general partner, has authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to 290,000 of the Partnership’s outstanding Beneficial Unit Certificates representing assigned limited partnership interests (“BUCs”).    

“This new unit repurchase program reflects both the Board’s and management’s continued commitment to increase unitholder value,” said Chad Daffer, Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership.  “Given our strong balance sheet, we believe we will continue to retain sufficient liquidity to execute our business strategy.”
