Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 30, 2009, MuniMae TE Bond Subsidiary, LLC (the “Company”), a subsidiary of Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC (the “Registrant”), amended and restated the terms of the respective governing series exhibits (the “Amended and Restated Series A Exhibit” and the “Amended and Restated Series A-1 Exhibit,” respectively) to its operating agreement, dated May 17, 1999, with respect to the Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares due 2049 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) and the Series A-1 Cumulative Preferred Shares due 2049 (the “Series A-1 Preferred Shares”). The terms of the Amended and Restated Series A Exhibit and the Amended and Restated Series A-1 Exhibit provide for the distributions and redemptions described in the table below in lieu of remarketing such securities in accordance with their pre-amended and restated terms on June 30, 2009. According to the terms of the Amended and Restated Series A Exhibit and the Amended and Restated Series A-1 Exhibit, the Company may elect to conduct a remarketing at any time following these amendments subject to certain procedural requirements set forth therein, but the Company will only be required to conduct a remarketing on June 30, 2010 and, if unsuccessful, on each anniversary thereof until a successful remarketing occurs.

The following is a comparison of the terms before and following the Amended and Restated Series A Exhibit and the Amended and Restated Series A-1 Exhibit, assuming in the case before such amendments and restatements that a failed remarketing occurs.

		Before								After
		Terms under a Failed								Terms under Amendment
		Remarketing								and Restatement
		(in $)				(in %)				(in $)				(in %)
Series A
Liquidation Preference currently outstanding			84,000,000								84,000,000
Interest distribution			10,651,200				12.68	%			6,300,000				7.50	%
Principal redemption			—				0.00	%			4,351,200				5.18	%
Total annual distribution			10,651,200				12.68	%			10,651,200				12.68	%
Series A-1
Liquidation Preference currently outstanding			16,000,000								16,000,000
Interest distribution			2,028,800				12.68	%			1,008,000				6.30	%
Principal redemption			—				0.00	%			2,192,000				13.70	%
Total annual distribution			2,028,800				12.68	%			3,200,000				20.00	%
Series A and Series A-1
Liquidation Preference currently outstanding			100,000,000								100,000,000
Interest distribution			12,680,000				12.68	%			7,308,000				7.31	%
Principal redemption			—				0.00	%			6,543,200				6.54	%
Total annual distribution			12,680,000				12.68	%			13,851,200				13.85	%

Note: The amount of dividends and redemption payments noted above are annualized amounts based upon the first quarterly dividend and redemption obligations. Until there is a successful remarketing, as the liquidation preference is reduced by the redemptions, and therefore the total required dividends declines, the required redemption payments will increase so that the combined dividend and redemption payments will remain the same.
