ITEM 1.01  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On December 27, 2006, Cloyses Partners, LLC, trustee (the “Trustee”) of the AMV Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”) announced that AmeriVest Properties Inc. (“AmeriVest”) transferred its remaining assets to (and its remaining liabilities were assumed by) the Trust pursuant to the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement between AmeriVest and the Trustee, dated as of December 21, 2006 (the “Liquidating Trust Agreement”) and in accordance with AmeriVest’s Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution, and that AmeriVest was dissolved.

The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by the Liquidating Trust Agreement and the press release relating thereto, which are included under Item 9.01(d) as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item by reference.

ITEM 5.02   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS, COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

(a) and (b)   Effective as of December 27, 2006, each of the directors and officers of AmeriVest resigned from their respective positions in connection with AmeriVest’s dissolution, which is more fully described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.  No disagreement exists between AmeriVest and any such director on any matter relating to AmeriVest’s operations, policies or practices.

(e)   On December 27, 2006, AmeriVest entered into an Addendum No. 1 (the “Addendum”) to Amended Change in Control and Executive Employment Agreement, dated August 31, 2005, between AmeriVest and Charles K. Knight, AmeriVest’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Knight agreed to accept a reduction in the change in control payment due to him under the terms of the Agreement to $850,000.00.  The remaining amount of such payment, equal to approximately $700,000 (the “Contingent Payment”), will be held by the Trust and distributed to Mr. Knight upon the expiration of the representations and warranties under AmeriVest’s Purchase and Sale Agreement with Koll/PER, LLC, dated as of July 17, 2006.  In the event that a claim is made or threatened pursuant thereto, the payment to Mr. Knight shall be retained by the Trust until such claim is resolved.  To the extent such resolution results in a payment to Koll/PER, LLC by the Trust (“Warranty Payment”), the Contingent Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to 5% of the Warranty Payment and the balance, if any, shall be immediately distributed to Mr. Knight by the Trust.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the Addendum, which is included under Item 9.01(d) as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item by reference.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the press release, which is included under Item 9.01(d) as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item by reference.
