VORNADO REALTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

1.     Organization

 

Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully‑integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).  Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 94.0% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2013.  All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

 

2.    Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.  All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC.

 

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. 

 

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Literature

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2013-02”).  ASU No. 2013-02 requires additional disclosures regarding significant reclassifications out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income, including the effect on the respective line items of net income for amounts that are required to be reclassified into net income in their entirety and cross-references to other disclosures providing additional information for amounts that are not required to be reclassified into net income in their entirety.  The adoption of this update on January 1, 2013, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but resulted in additional disclosures (see Note 14 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ).    

 

4.    Acquisitions

 

On December 21, 2012, we acquired a 58.75% interest in Independence Plaza, a three-building 1,328 unit residential complex in the Tribeca submarket of Manhattan.  Our preliminary purchase price allocation was primarily to land ($309,848,000) and building ($527,578,000).  Based on a third party appraisal and additional information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, which was obtained subsequent to the acquisition date, we finalized the purchase price allocation and retroactively adjusted our December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet.  These adjustments did not have a material impact to our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The following is a summary of our finalized purchase price allocation:

5.     Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”)

 

We are the general partner and investment manager of our $800,000,000 Fund, to which we committed $200,000,000.  The Fund has an eight-year term and a three-year investment period, which concludes in July 2013.  During the investment period, the Fund is our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within its investment parameters, as defined.  The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Investment Company Guide and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings.  We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

 

At March 31, 2013, the Fund had nine investments with an aggregate fair value of $571,306,000, or $81,158,000 in excess of cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $257,956,000, of which our share was $64,489,000.  Below is a summary of income from the Fund for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

6.    Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans Receivable

 

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable was $225,221,000 and $225,359,000, respectively.  These loans have a weighted average interest rate of 10.3% at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and have maturities ranging from August 2014 to May 2016. 

 

On March 27, 2013, we transferred, at par, a 25% participation in a mortgage loan on 701 Seventh Avenue to a third party for $59,375,000 in cash.  We acquired this participation in October 2012, together with a 25% interest in a mezzanine loan on the property.  The transfer did not qualify for sale accounting given our continuing interest in the mezzanine loan.  Accordingly, we continue to include the 25% participation in the mortgage loan in “Mortgage and Mezzanine Loans Receivable” and have recorded a $59,375,000 liability in “Other Liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.  Interest income on this participation will be offset by interest expense from the liability.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, a $50,000,000 mezzanine loan that was scheduled to mature in August 2015, was repaid.  In connection therewith, we received net proceeds of approximately $55,000,000, including prepayment penalties, which resulted in approximately $5,000,000 of income that will be recognized in the second quarter.

7.    Marketable Securities and Derivative Instruments

Our portfolio of marketable securities is comprised of equity securities that are classified as available for sale.  Available for sale securities are presented on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these securities are included in “other comprehensive income (loss).”  Realized gains and losses are recognized in earnings only upon the sale of the securities and are recorded based on the weighted average cost of such securities.

 

Investment in J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (“J.C. Penney”) (NYSE: JCP)

 

On March 4, 2013, we sold 10,000,000 J.C. Penney common shares at a price of $16.03 per share, or $160,300,000 in the aggregate, which resulted in a net loss of $36,800,000, which is included in “net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets” on our consolidated statements of income. 

 

As of March 31, 2013, we own an economic interest in 13,400,000 J.C. Penney common shares, or 6.1% of its outstanding common shares.  Below are the details of our investment.

 

We own 8,584,010 common shares at a GAAP cost of $19.71, per share, or $169,191,000 in the aggregate.  As of March 31, 2013, based on J.C. Penney’s closing share price of $15.11 per share, these shares have an aggregate fair value of $129,704,000, or $39,487,000 below our GAAP cost.  We have concluded that this decline in value is “other-than temporary” and have recorded a $39,487,000 impairment loss in the first quarter.  Our conclusion was based on the severity of decline in the stock price and our inability to forecast a recovery in the near term.

 

We also own an economic interest in 4,815,990 common shares through a forward contract at a weighted average strike price of $29.18 per share, or $140,525,000 in the aggregate.  The forward contract may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 8, 2022. The counterparty may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, on October 8, 2014, or any anniversary thereof, or in the event we were to receive a credit downgrade.  The forward contract strike price per share increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 95 basis points during the first two years of the contract and LIBOR plus 80 basis points thereafter.  The contract is a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Gains and losses from the mark-to-market of the underlying common shares are recognized in “interest and other investment (loss) income, net” on our consolidated statements of income.  In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized a loss of $22,540,000, from the mark-to-market of the underlying common shares, and as of March 31, 2013, have funded $76,002,000 in connection with this derivative position.  In the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recognized income of $1,045,000 from the mark-to-market of the underlying common shares.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate economic net loss on our investment in J.C. Penney, including shares sold, was $227,095,000.

 

Investment in Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP)

 

Since the inception of our investment in Lexington in 2008, we accounted for it under the equity method of accounting, because of our ability to exercise significant influence over Lexington’s operating and financial policies.  As a result of Lexington’s common share issuances, our ownership interest has been reduced over time from approximately 17.2% to 8.8% as of March 31, 2013.  In the first quarter of 2013, we concluded that we no longer have the ability to exercise significant influence over Lexington’s operating and financial policies, and began accounting for this investment as a marketable equity security – available for sale, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities .

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)

 

As of March 31, 2013, we own 32.5% of Toys.  We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our share of Toys’ net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31.  The business of Toys is highly seasonal.  Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a $40,000,000 non-cash impairment loss with regards to our investment in Toys and disclosed, that if current facts don’t change, our share of Toys’ undistributed income, which in accordance with the equity method of accounting, would increase the carrying amount of our investment above fair value, would require an offsetting impairment loss.  

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized our 32.5% share of Toys’ fourth quarter net income of $78,542,000 and a corresponding non-cash impairment loss of the same amount.  Our income applicable to Toys after the impairment loss was $1,759,000, representing management fees earned and received.

As of March 31, 2013, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys is less than our share of Toys' equity by approximately $141,270,000. This basis difference resulted primarily from non-cash impairment losses aggregating $118,542,000 that we recognized in 2012 and 2013. We have allocated the basis difference to Toys' intangible assets (primarily trade names and trademarks). The basis difference is not being amortized and will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)

 

As of March 31, 2013, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander’s common equity.  We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.  As of March 31, 2013, Alexander’s owed us $45,623,000 in fees under these agreements.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s March 31, 2013 closing share price of $329.69, was $545,330,000, or $373,510,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2013, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $43,595,000.  The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets.  Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings).  We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives.  This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income.  The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

On January 24, 2013, we completed the sale of the Green Acres Mall located in Valley Stream, New York, for $500,000,000.  The sale resulted in net proceeds of $185,000,000, after repaying the existing loan and closing costs, and a net gain of $202,275,000. 

 

In the second quarter of 2013, we sold The Plant, a power strip shopping center in San Jose, California, for $203,000,000.  The sale resulted in net proceeds of approximately $98,000,000, after repaying the existing loan and closing costs, and a net gain of approximately $33,000,000, which will be recognized in the second quarter.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, we sold a retail property in Philadelphia, which is a part of the Gallery at Market Street, for $60,000,000.  The sale resulted in net proceeds of $58,000,000, and a net gain of $33,000,000, which will be recognized in the second quarter.

On January 6, 2012, we completed the sale of 350 West Mart Center, a 1.2 million square foot office building in Chicago, Illinois, for $228,000,000, in cash, which resulted in a net gain of $54,911,000.

 

In the first quarter of 2012, we sold seven retail properties in separate transactions, for an aggregate of $83,670,000, in cash, which resulted in a net gain aggregating $906,000.

 

We have reclassified the revenues and expenses of all of the properties discussed above, as well as certain other retail properties that are currently held for sale to “income from discontinued operations” and the related assets and liabilities to “assets related to discontinued operations” and “liabilities related to discontinued operations” for all of the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.  The tables below set forth the assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and their combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

(1)

Represents the extended maturity for certain loans in which we have the unilateral right, ability and intent to extend.

 

 

 

 

(2)

On February 20, 2013, we completed a $390,000 financing of this property. The 10-year fixed-rate interest only loan bears interest at 3.61%. This property was previously unencumbered.

 

 

 

 

(3)

In 2012, due to the rising vacancy rate at the Skyline properties (43.4% at March 31, 2013), primarily from the effects of the Base Realignment and Closure statute; insufficient cash flows to pay current obligations, including interest payments to the lender; and the significant amount of capital required to re-tenant these properties, we requested that the mortgage loan be transferred to the special servicer. In connection therewith, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the special servicer, that provides for interest shortfalls to be deferred and added to the principal balance of the loan and not give rise to a loan default. The forbearance agreement was amended on March 28, 2013, to extend its maturity through June 1, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the deferred interest amounted to $37,127. We continue to negotiate with the special servicer to restructure the terms of the loan.

 

 

 

 

(4)

On March 25, 2013, we completed a $300,000 financing of this property. The 10-year fixed-rate interest only loan bears interest at 3.56%. The property was previously encumbered by a $282,000 floating-rate loan.

(8)

On March 28, 2013, we extended this revolving credit facility from June 2015 to June 2017, with two six-month extension options. The interest on the extended facility was reduced from LIBOR plus 135 basis points to LIBOR plus 115 basis points. In addition, the facility fee was reduced from 30 basis points to 20 basis points.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity , because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares.  Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $55,097,000 and $55,011,000 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. 

 

 

13.    Shareholders’ Equity

 

On January 25, 2013, we sold 12,000,000 5.40% Series L Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement.  We retained aggregate net proceeds of $290,710,000, after underwriters’ discounts and issuance costs and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 12,000,000 Series L Preferred Units (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series L Preferred Shares).  Dividends on the Series L Preferred Shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.  The Series L Preferred Shares are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, any of our properties or securities.  On or after five years from the date of issuance (or sooner under limited circumstances), we may redeem the Series L Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption.  The Series L Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us.

 

On February 19, 2013, we redeemed all of the outstanding 6.75% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and 6.75% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at par, for an aggregate of $262,500,000 in cash, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption.

16.  Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.  The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).   ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.   

 

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) Real Estate Fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet), (iv) derivative positions in marketable equity securities, (v) interest rate swaps and (vi) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units).  The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis - continued

 

Real Estate Fund Investments

 

At March 31, 2013, our Real Estate Fund had nine investments with an aggregate fair value of $571,306,000, or $81,158,000 in excess of cost.  These investments are classified as Level 3.  We use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of each of these investments, which is updated quarterly by personnel responsible for the management of each investment and reviewed by senior management at each reporting period.  The discounted cash flow valuation technique requires us to estimate cash flows for each investment over the anticipated holding period, which currently ranges from 1.3 to 7.3 years.  Cash flows are derived from property rental revenue (base rents plus reimbursements) less operating expenses, real estate taxes and capital and other costs, plus projected sales proceeds in the year of exit.  Property rental revenue is based on leases currently in place and our estimates for future leasing activity, which are based on current market rents for similar space plus a projected growth factor.  Similarly, estimated operating expenses and real estate taxes are based on amounts incurred in the current period plus a projected growth factor for future periods.  Anticipated sales proceeds at the end of an investment’s expected holding period are determined based on the net cash flow of the investment in the year of exit, divided by a terminal capitalization rate, less estimated selling costs. 

 

The fair value of each property is calculated by discounting the future cash flows (including the projected sales proceeds), using an appropriate discount rate and then reduced by the property’s outstanding debt, if any, to determine the fair value of the equity in each investment. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates.  These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, which are derived from original underwriting assumptions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments.  Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these Fund investments at March 31, 2013.

The above inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit.  Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments.  The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows.  Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate, may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate.  It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values. 

 

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of Fund investments that are classified as Level 3, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

 

Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties.  We receive quarterly financial reports from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund.  The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis.  The third-party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

 

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of Deferred Compensation Plan Assets that are classified as Level 3, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of our investment in Toys “R” Us and real estate assets that have been written-down to estimated fair value during 2013 and 2012.  The fair values of these assets are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including (i) discounted cash flow analysis, which considers, among other things, leasing assumptions, growth rates, discount rates and terminal capitalization rates, (ii) income capitalization approach, which considers prevailing market capitalization rates, and (iii) comparable sales activity.  Generally, we consider multiple valuation techniques when measuring fair values but in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.  The tables below aggregate the fair values of these assets by their levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

 

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable and our secured and unsecured debt.  Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist.  For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument.  The fair value of cash equivalents is classified as Level 1 and the fair value of our mortgage and mezzanine loans receivable is classified as Level 3.  The fair value of our secured and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2.  The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

17.    Incentive Compensation

 

Our 2010 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted Operating Partnership units and out-performance plan rewards to certain of our employees and officers.  We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation .  Stock-based compensation expense was $7,466,000 and $6,609,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

On March 15, 2013, our Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) approved the 2013 Outperformance Plan, a performance-based equity compensation plan and related form of award agreement (the “2013 OPP”).  Under the 2013 OPP, participants have the opportunity to earn compensation payable in the form of operating partnership units in the second and/or third year during a three-year performance measurement period, if and only if, we outperform a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperform the market with respect to relative total TSR.  Awards under our 2013 OPP may be earned if (i) we achieve a TSR greater than 14% over the two-year performance measurement period, or 21% over the three-year performance measurement period (the “Absolute Component”), and/or (ii) we achieve a TSR above that of the SNL US REIT Index (the “Index”) over a two-year or three-year performance measurement period (the “Relative Component”).  To the extent awards would be earned under the Absolute Component but we underperform the Index, such awards earned would be reduced (and potentially fully negated) based on the degree to which we underperform the Index.  In certain circumstances, in the event we outperform the Index but awards would not otherwise be fully earned under the Absolute Component, awards may be increased under the Relative Component.  To the extent awards would otherwise be earned under the Relative Component but we fail to achieve at least a 6% per annum absolute TSR, such awards earned under the Relative Component would be reduced based on our absolute TSR performance, with no awards being earned in the event our TSR during the applicable measurement period is 0% or negative, irrespective of the degree to which we may outperform the Index.  If the designated performance objectives are achieved, OPP Units are also subject to time-based vesting requirements. Awards earned under the 2013 OPP vest 33% in year three, 33% in year four and 34% in year five. Dividends on awards earned accrue during the performance measurement period. In addition, our executive officers (for the purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) are required to hold earned OPP awards for one year following vesting.

22.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

Insurance 

 

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, including coverage for terrorist acts, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods.  Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $180,000,000 annual aggregate.

 

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.  Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC.  Coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2.0 billion per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss.  We are ultimately responsible for any losses incurred by PPIC.

 

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism.  However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.

 

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio.

 

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

 

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $305,000,000.

 

At March 31, 2013, $22,167,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

 

Two of our wholly owned subsidiaries that are contracted to develop and operate the Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center, in Cleveland, Ohio, are required to fund $11,500,000, primarily for tenant improvements, and they are responsible for operating expenses and are entitled to the net operating income, if any, upon the completion of development and the commencement of operations.  As of March 31, 2013, our subsidiaries have funded approximately $4,000,000 of the commitment.

 

As of March 31, 2013, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $169,000,000.

As a result of certain organizational changes and asset sales in 2012, the Merchandise Mart segment no longer meets the criteria to be a separate reportable segment; accordingly, effective January 1, 2013, the remaining assets have been reclassified to our Other segment.  We have also reclassified the prior period segment financial results to conform to the current year presentation.  Below is a summary of net income and a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA (1) by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Vornado Realty Trust

New York, New York

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.  Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.

Business Objective and Operating Strategy

Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to our shareholders. Below is a table comparing our performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) and the FTSE NAREIT Office REIT Index (“Office REIT”) for the following periods ended March 31, 2013.

We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:

 

·      Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;

·      Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation;

·      Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents;

·      Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area;

·      Developing and redeveloping existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and

·      Investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component.

 

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets.  We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire these securities in the future.

 

We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.  See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for additional information regarding these factors.

2013 Dispositions

 

On January 24, 2013, we completed the sale of the Green Acres Mall located in Valley Stream, New York, for $500,000,000.  The sale resulted in net proceeds of $185,000,000, after repaying the existing loan and closing costs, and a net gain of $202,275,000. 

 

In the second quarter of 2013, LNR was sold for $1.053 billion.  We owned 26.2% of LNR and received net proceeds of approximately $241,000,000.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, we sold The Plant, a power strip shopping center in San Jose, California, for $203,000,000.  The sale resulted in net proceeds of approximately $98,000,000, after repaying the existing loan and closing costs, and a net gain of approximately $33,000,000, which will be recognized in the second quarter.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, we sold a retail property in Philadelphia, which is a part of the Gallery at Market Street, for $60,000,000. The sale resulted in net proceeds of $58,000,000, and a net gain of $33,000,000, which will be recognized in the second quarter.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, a site located in the Downtown Crossing district of Boston was sold by a joint venture, which we owned 50% of.  Our share of the net proceeds were approximately $45,000,000, which resulted in a $2,335,000 impairment loss that was recognized in the first quarter.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell a parcel of land known as Harlem Park located at 1800 Park Avenue (at 125 th Street) in New York City for $65,000,000, plus additional amounts which may be received for brownfield credits.  The sale will result in net proceeds of approximately $62,000,000 and a net gain of approximately $22,000,000.  The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed in the second quarter.

 

 

2013 Financings

 

Secured Debt

 

On February 20, 2013, we completed a $390,000,000 financing of the retail condominium located at 666 Fifth Avenue at 53 rd Street, which we had acquired December 2012.  The 10-year fixed-rate interest only loan bears interest at 3.61%.  This property was previously unencumbered.  The net proceeds from this financing were approximately $387,000,000. 

 

On March 25, 2013, we completed a $300,000,000 financing of the Outlets at Bergen Town Center, a 948,000 square foot shopping center located in Paramus, New Jersey.  The 10-year fixed-rate interest only loan bears interest at 3.56%.  The property was previously encumbered by a $282,000,000 floating-rate loan. 

 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

 

On March 28, 2013, we extended one of our two revolving credit facilities from June 2015 to June 2017, with two six-month extension options. The interest on the extended facility was reduced from LIBOR plus 135 basis points to LIBOR plus 115 basis points. In addition, the facility fee was reduced from 30 basis points to 20 basis points.

Preferred Equity

 

On January 25, 2013, we sold 12,000,000 5.40% Series L Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement.  We retained aggregate net proceeds of $290,710,000, after underwriters’ discounts and issuance costs and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 12,000,000 Series L Preferred Units (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series L Preferred Shares).  Dividends on the Series L Preferred Shares are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears.  The Series L Preferred Shares are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, any of our properties or securities.  On or after five years from the date of issuance (or sooner under limited circumstances), we may redeem the Series L Preferred Shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption.  The Series L Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by us.

 

On February 19, 2013, we redeemed all of the outstanding 6.75% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and 6.75% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at par, for an aggregate of $262,500,000 in cash, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU No. 2013-02”).  ASU No. 2013-02 requires additional disclosures regarding significant reclassifications out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income, including the effect on the respective line items of net income for amounts that are required to be reclassified into net income in their entirety and cross-references to other disclosures providing additional information for amounts that are not required to be reclassified into net income in their entirety.  The adoption of this update on January 1, 2013, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but resulted in additional disclosures. 

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2013.

Leasing Activity:

 

The leasing activity in the table below is based on leases signed during the period and is not intended to coincide with the commencement of rental revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Tenant improvements and leasing commissions are based on our share of square feet leased during the period.  Second generation relet space represents square footage that has not been vacant for more than nine months.  The leasing activity for the New York segment excludes Alexander’s, the Hotel Pennsylvania and residential.

Overview - continued

 

 

Washington, DC Segment

 

In our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we estimated that 2013 EBITDA will be between $5,000,000 and $15,000,000 lower than 2012 EBITDA.  As of March 31, 2013, EBITDA from continuing operations was lower than 2012 by approximately $9,700,000.

 

Of the 2,395,000 square feet subject to BRAC, 348,000 square feet has been taken out of service for redevelopment and 552,000 square feet has been leased or is pending.  The table below summarizes the status of the BRAC space as of March 31, 2013.

In 2012, due to the rising vacancy rate at the Skyline properties (43.4% at March 31, 2013), primarily from the effects of the BRAC statute; insufficient cash flows to pay current obligations, including interest payments to the lender; and the significant amount of capital required to re-tenant these properties, we requested that the mortgage loan be transferred to the special servicer.  In connection therewith, we entered into a forbearance agreement with the special servicer, that provides for interest shortfalls to be deferred and added to the principal balance of the loan and not give rise to a loan default.  The forbearance agreement was amended on March 28, 2013, to extend its maturity through June 1, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, the deferred interest amounted to $37,127,000.  We continue to negotiate with the special servicer to restructure the terms of the loan.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

As a result of certain organizational changes and asset sales in 2012, the Merchandise Mart segment no longer meets the criteria to be a separate reportable segment; accordingly, effective January 1, 2013, the remaining assets have been reclassified to our Other segment.  We have also reclassified the prior period segment financial results to conform to the current year presentation.  Below is a summary of net income and a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA (1) by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to March 31, 2012 - continued

 

 

Income Applicable to Toys

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2012 we recorded a $40,000,000 non-cash impairment loss with regards to our investment in Toys and disclosed, that if current facts don’t change, our share of Toys’ undistributed income, which in accordance with the equity method of accounting, would increase the carrying amount of our investment above fair value, would require an offsetting impairment loss.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized our 32.5% share of Toys’ fourth quarter net income of $78,542,000 and a corresponding non-cash impairment loss of the same amount.  Our income applicable to Toys after the impairment loss was $1,759,000, representing management fees earned and received. 

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2012, we recognized net income of $116,471,000 from our investment in Toys, comprised of $114,184,000 for our 32.7% share of Toys’ net income and $2,287,000 of management fees.

Reconciliation of EBITDA to Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods.  Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items.  We present same store EBITDA on both a GAAP basis and a cash basis, which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers.  Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. 

 

Below are same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments and a reconciliation of EBITDA to same store EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.   Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, dividends to shareholders, distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development costs.  Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, and our revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales.    

 

We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures.  Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions (excluding Fund acquisitions) may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings.  Our Real Estate Fund has aggregate unfunded commitments of $257,956,000 for acquisitions, including $64,489,000 from us. 

 

We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities or redeem our equity securities.  Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors.  The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Our cash and cash equivalents were $585,823,000 at March 31, 2013, a $374,496,000 decrease over the balance at December 31, 2012.  Our consolidated outstanding debt was $10,421,179,000 at March 31, 2013, a $770,155,000 decrease over the balance at December 31, 2012.  As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $0 and $1,170,000,000, respectively, was outstanding under our revolving credit facilities.  During the remainder of 2013 and 2014, $654,713,000 and $237,784,000, respectively, of our outstanding debt matures; we may refinance this maturing debt as it comes due or choose to repay it.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $414,927,000 was comprised of (i) net income of $288,927,000, (ii) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $65,010,000, including $13,668,000 related to Real Estate Fund investments, (iii) return of capital from Real Estate Fund investments of $56,664,000, and (iv) distributions of income from partially owned entities of $10,627,000, partially offset by (v) $6,301,000 of non-cash adjustments, which include depreciation and amortization expense, the effect of straight-lining of rental income, equity in net income of partially owned entities and net gains on sale of real estate.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities of $527,685,000 was comprised of (i) $499,369,000 of proceeds from sales of real estate and related investments, (ii) $160,300,000 of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, (iii) $38,900,000 from the return of the J.C.

Penney derivative collateral, (viii) $57,460,000 of additions to real estate, (ix) $39,892,000 of investments in partially owned entities, and (x) $35,334,000 of development costs and construction in progress.

 

Net cash used in financing activities of $1,317,108,000 was comprised of (i) $2,529,836,000 for the repayments of borrowings, (ii) $262,500,000 for purchases of outstanding preferred units and shares, (iii) $172,142,000 of distributions to noncontrolling interests, (iv) $136,342,000 of dividends paid on common shares, (v) $23,161,000 of dividends paid on preferred shares, (vi) $9,080,000 of debt issuance and other costs, and (vii) $305,000 for the repurchase of shares related to stock compensation agreements and related tax holdings, partially offset by (viii) $1,499,375,000 of proceeds from borrowings, (ix) $290,710,000 of proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares, (x) $24,566,000 of contributions from noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries, and (xi) $1,607,000 of proceeds from exercise of employee share options.

Capital Expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2013

 

Capital expenditures consist of expenditures to maintain assets, tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions.  Recurring capital expenditures include expenditures to maintain a property’s competitive position within the market and tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to re-lease expiring leases or renew or extend existing leases.  Non-recurring capital improvements include expenditures to lease space that has been vacant for more than nine months and expenditures completed in the year of acquisition and the following two years that were planned at the time of acquisition, as well as tenant improvements and leasing commissions for space that was vacant at the time of acquisition of a property.  Below is a summary of capital expenditures, leasing commissions and a reconciliation of total expenditures on an accrual basis to the cash expended in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.

 

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $305,000,000.

 

At March 31, 2013, $22,167,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

 

Two of our wholly owned subsidiaries that are contracted to develop and operate the Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center, in Cleveland, Ohio, are required to fund $11,500,000, primarily for tenant improvements, and they are responsible for operating expenses and are entitled to the net operating income, if any, upon the completion of development and the commencement of operations.  As of March 31, 2013, our subsidiaries have funded approximately $4,000,000 of the commitment.

 

As of March 31, 2013, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $169,000,000.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

 

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gain from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, extraordinary items and other specified non-cash items, including the pro-rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.  FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flows as a liquidity measure.  FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.  The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in footnote 21 – Income per Share , in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 30 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

 

FFO for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $201,820,000, or $1.08 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $348,452,000, or $1.82 per diluted share, for the prior year’s quarter.  Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview.”

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of March 31, 2013, we have one interest rate cap with a principal amount of $60,000,000 and an interest rate of 2.36%.  This cap is based on a notional amount of $60,000,000 and caps LIBOR at a rate of 7.00%.  In addition, we have one interest rate swap on a $425,000,000 mortgage loan that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 2.00% (2.20% at March 31, 2013) to a fixed rate of 5.13% for the remaining five-year term of the loan. 

 

As of March 31, 2013, we have investments in mezzanine loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $150,149,000 that are based on variable interest rates which partially mitigate our exposure to a change in interest rates on our variable rate debt.

 

Fair Value of Debt

 

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the rate at which similar loans could be made currently to borrowers with similar credit ratings, for the remaining term of such debt.  As of March 31, 2013, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $10,673,000,000.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, including our economic interest in J.C. Penney common shares.  Because these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income, net” on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR. Because the market value of these instruments can vary significantly between periods, we may experience significant fluctuations in the amount of our investment income or expense in any given period. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized a loss of $22,540,000 and income of $1,045,000, respectively, from derivative instruments.

approval under, any Law (including, without limitation, Regulation U), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to it, except for such violations, or filings, registrations, consents and approvals which if not done or obtained would not likely cause a Material Adverse Change to occur, (b) result in a breach of or constitute a default under or require any consent under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which it may be a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected except for consents which have been obtained or which if not obtained are not likely to cause a Material Adverse Change to occur, (c) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien, upon or with respect to any of its properties now owned or hereafter acquired which would likely cause a Material Adverse Change to occur, or (d) cause it to be in default under any such Law, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease or instrument which would likely cause a Material Adverse Change to occur; to the best of its knowledge, Borrower is in compliance with all Laws applicable to it and its properties where the failure to be in compliance would cause a Material Adverse Change to occur;

(v)        This Amendment No. 1 and the other Amendment Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower;

(ii)        the sum of (x) one hundred percent (100%) plus  (y) the Target Final Absolute Return Percentage; plus   

(B)       with respect to each Additional Share issued after the Effective Date, the Additional Share Baseline Value of such Additional Share, multiplied by : the sum of:

 (i)        one hundred percent (100%); plus

Final Adjustment Factor ” means a factor carried out to the sixth decimal determined by a straight-line interpolation between:  (A) zero (0) if the Final Hurdle Rate is zero percent (0%) or a negative factor; and (B) one (1) if the Final Hurdle Rate is eighteen percent (18%) or more.

Final Hurdle Rate ” means a percentage consisting of the Company’s TRS Percentage over the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the Final Valuation Date; provided  that if the Final Valuation Date occurs prior to March 15, 2016 as a result of a Change in Control, then for purposes of determining the Final Adjustment Factor to be used in calculating the Final Relative TRS Pool as of the Final Valuation Date, the Final Hurdle Rate shall instead be:  (A) the Company’s TRS Percentage over the period starting on the Effective Date and ending on the date of the Change in Control (or, with respect to a Transactional Change in Control, the date of the Public Announcement of such Transactional Change in Control); divided  by (B) the CoC Fraction calculated pursuant to clause (B) of the definition thereof.

Final Relative Adjusted Return ” a dollar amount, calculated as of the Final Valuation Date, using the same definition as for the “Final Relative Baseline,” except that in clauses (A)(ii), (B)(ii) and (C)(ii) thereof instead of the Index Return Percentage for the applicable period, the Threshold Return Percentage shall be used.

Final Relative Baseline ” means, as of the Final Valuation Date, an amount representing (without double-counting) the sum of:

(A)       the Baseline Value multiplied by

The resulting number is hereafter referred to as the “ Final OPP Unit Equivalent ”.  If the Final OPP Unit Equivalent ( plus  the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is smaller than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then the Grantee, as of the Final Valuation Date, shall forfeit a number of Award OPP Units equal to the difference, and thereafter the term Award OPP Units will refer only to the remaining Award OPP Units that were not so forfeited.  If the Final OPP Unit Equivalent ( plus  the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is greater than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee (including any additional LTIP Units added to the Award OPP Units under Section 3(b)  above), then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3(c) :  (A) the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, as of the Final Valuation Date, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award OPP Units previously issued, if any, and thereby become part of this Award; (C) the Company and the Partnership shall take such corporate and Partnership action as is necessary to accomplish the grant of such additional LTIP Units; and (D) thereafter the term Award OPP Units will refer collectively to the Award OPP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus  such additional LTIP Units; provided  that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the Company and/or the Partnership reasonably request in order to comply with

all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws.  If the Final OPP Unit Equivalent ( plus  the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent, if any) is the same as the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then there will be no change to the number of Award OPP Units under this Award pursuant to this Section 3

(d)                If the Grantee earns any Award OPP Units as of the Interim Valuation Date or the Final Valuation Date pursuant to the calculations set forth in Section 3(b) or 3(c)  hereof, respectively, then, as of the date on which such Award OPP Units are earned, the Grantee will also earn an additional number of Award OPP Units equal to the sum of the following calculations, which will be performed by the Committee:

I.       For each Dividend Payment between the Effective Date and the date as of which such Award OPP units are earned, calculate the following numbers of additional Award OPP Units:

(W*X)

Z

 

Where:

W = the number of Award OPP Units earned as of such date pursuant to Section 3(b)  or 3(c)  hereof, as applicable (appropriately adjusted to the extent that the Shares Amount for one partnership Unit is greater or less than one Common Share);

X = 90% of the Dividend Payment; and

Z = The Ex-Dividend Common Share Price on the “ex-dividend” date for such Dividend Payment.

II.     Add all the amounts calculated pursuant to I. above together.

The resulting number of Award OPP Units earned pursuant to the calculation set forth in this Section 3(d) shall be added to the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent or Final OPP Unit Equivalent, as applicable, and be subject to vesting pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and all the provisions of Section 4 hereof applicable to such other 2013 OPP Units.   If the total number of Award OPP Units so earned is greater than the number of Award OPP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3(d) :  (A)  the Company shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Grantee, as of the Interim Valuation Date or Final Valuation Date, as applicable, a number of additional LTIP Units equal to the difference; (B) such additional LTIP Units shall be added to the Award OPP Units previously issued, if any, and thereby become part of this Award; (C) the Company and the Partnership shall take such corporate and Partnership action as is necessary to accomplish the grant of such additional LTIP Units; and (D) thereafter the term Award OPP Units will refer collectively to the Award OPP Units, if any, issued prior to such additional grant plus such additional LTIP Units; provided that such issuance will be subject to the Grantee executing and delivering such documents, comparable to the documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the

20


 

 

Company and/or the Partnership may reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws.

(e)                 If any of the Award OPP Units have been earned based on performance as provided in Section 3(b) or 3(c) , subject to Section 4 hereof, the Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall become vested in the following amounts and at the following times, provided  that the Continuous Service of the Grantee continues through and on the applicable vesting date or the accelerated vesting date provided in Section 4 hereof, as applicable:

(i)                  thirty-three and one-third percent (33.33%) of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall become vested on March 15, 2016;

(ii)                thirty-three and one-third percent (33.33%) of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall become vested on March 15, 2017; and

(iii)              thirty-three and one-third percent (33.33%) of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall become vested on March 15, 2018.

To the extent that Schedule A provides for amounts or schedules of vesting that conflict with the provisions of this Section 3(e), the provisions of Schedule A will govern.  For the avoidance of doubt, vesting pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall not distinguish between Award OPP Units that have ceased to be subject to forfeiture as part of the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent or Final OPP Unit Equivalent.

(f)                 Any Award OPP Units that do not become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) or Section 4 hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award OPP Units.

(g)                Upon the occurrence of (a) a Change in Control, and (b) the termination of employment of the Grantee with the Company or its Affiliates within 24 months of such Change in Control (i) by the Company (or its successor) without Cause or (ii) by the Grantee with Good Reason, then any Award OPP Units that have not been previously forfeited (after giving effect to any forfeiture of Award OPP Units pursuant to the calculations set forth in this Section 3 hereof occurring in connection with such Change in Control) shall vest immediately.

(h)                In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee will make any determinations and certifications required by this Agreement and any provisions necessary with respect to the lapse of forfeiture restrictions and/or acceleration of vesting of this Award within a period of time that enables (i) the Grantee to exercise election, voting or other rights in connection with such Change in Control on the same basis as a Class A Unit holder and (ii) the Company to take any action or make any deliveries or payments it is obligated to make hereunder or under the Partnership Agreement not later than the date of consummation of the Change in Control.  For avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change in Control, the performance of all calculations and actions pursuant to Section 3(b) and 3(c)  hereof and the exercise of any election, voting or other rights pursuant to this Section 3(h)  shall be conditioned upon the final consummation of such Change in Control.

 

21


 

 

4.                   Termination of Grantee’s Continuous Service; Death and Disability.

(a)                 If the Grantee is a party to a Service Agreement and his or her Continuous Service terminates, the provisions of Sections 4(b) , 4(c) , 4(d) , 4(e) , 4(f)  and 4(g)  hereof shall govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award OPP Units exclusively, unless the Service Agreement contains provisions that expressly refer to this Section 4(a) and provides that those provisions of the Service Agreement shall instead govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award OPP Units upon such termination.  The foregoing sentence will be deemed an amendment to any applicable Service Agreement to the extent required to apply its terms consistently with this Section 4 , such that, by way of illustration, any provisions of the Service Agreement with respect to accelerated vesting or payout or the lapse of forfeiture restrictions relating to the Grantee’s incentive or other compensation awards in the event of certain types of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service with the Company (such as, for example, termination at the end of the term, termination without Cause by the employer or termination for Good Reason by the employee) shall not be interpreted as requiring that any calculations set forth in Section 3 hereof be performed, or vesting occur with respect to this Award other than as specifically provided in this Section 4 .  In the event that an entity to which the Grantee provides services ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company, such action shall be deemed to be a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service for purposes of this Agreement, provided  that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make provision in such circumstances for the lapse of forfeiture restrictions and/or accelerated vesting of some or all of the Grantee’s unvested Award OPP Units that have not previously been forfeited, effective immediately prior to such event, or determine that the Grantee’s Continuous Service to the Company or any other of its Affiliates has not been terminated.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Grantee’s Service Agreement, if any, and the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to death or Disability, the provisions of such Service Agreement shall govern the treatment of the Grantee’s Award OPP Units in the event of death or Disability.

(b)                In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service by (A) the Company without Cause, (B) the Grantee for Good Reason, or (C) the Grantee upon Retirement (each a “ Qualified Termination ”) prior to the Final Valuation Date, then the Grantee will not forfeit the Award OPP Units upon such termination, but the following provisions of this Section 4(b)  shall modify the calculations required to determine the Total OPP Unit Equivalent and/or the vesting of the Total OPP Unit Equivalent, as applicable, with respect to the Grantee only:

(i)                  the calculations provided in Section 3(b) and Section 3(c)  hereof shall be performed as of the Interim Valuation Date and Final Valuation Date, respectively, as if the Qualified Termination had not occurred;

(ii)                each of (I) the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent calculated pursuant to Section 3(b)  and (II) the Final OPP Unit Equivalent calculated pursuant to Section 3(c) shall be multiplied by the applicable Partial Service Factor (with the resulting numbers being rounded to the nearest whole LTIP Unit or, in the case of 0.5 of a unit, up to the next whole unit), and such adjusted number of LTIP Units shall be deemed the Grantee’s Interim OPP Unit Equivalent and Final OPP Unit Equivalent, respectively, for all purposes under this Agreement; and

 

22


 

 

(iii)              the Grantee’s Interim OPP Unit Equivalent and Total OPP Unit Equivalent as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof; provided  that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof will apply to the Grantee after the effective date of a Qualified Termination, the Grantee will not have the right to Transfer (as defined in Section 7 hereof) his or her Award OPP Units or request redemption of his or her Award Partnership Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Total OPP Unit Equivalent, as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) above, would have become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof absent a Qualified Termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(b)(iii)  is to prevent a situation where grantees of 2013 OPP awards who have had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of their Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units (through Transfer or redemption) before other grantees of 2013 OPP awards whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 3(e) hereof.

(c)                 In the event of Qualified Termination on or after the Final Valuation Date, then all of the Grantee’s unvested Award OPP Units that have not previously been forfeited pursuant to the calculations set forth in Section 3(b) or Section 3(c) hereof, but remain subject to time-based vesting pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof as of the time of such Qualified Termination shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof; provided  that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof will apply to the Grantee after the effective date of a Qualified Termination, the Grantee will not have the right to Transfer (as defined in Section 7 hereof) his or her Award OPP Units or request redemption of his or her Award Partnership Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Total OPP Unit Equivalent would have become vested pursuant to Section 3(e) absent a Qualified Termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(c) is to prevent a situation where grantees of 2013 OPP awards who have had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of their Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units (through Transfer or redemption) before other grantees of OPP awards whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 3(e) hereof.

(d)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any payment to be made hereunder after giving effect to this Section 4 is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, then, to the extent the Grantee is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code subject to the six-month delay thereunder, any such payments to be made during the six-month period commencing on the Grantee’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be delayed until the expiration of such six-month period.

(e)                 In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death or Disability prior to the Final Valuation Date, the Grantee will not forfeit the Award OPP Units, but the following provisions of this Section 4(e) shall apply:

 

 

23


 

 

(i)                  the calculations provided in Section 3(b) and Section 3(c)  hereof shall be performed as of the Interim Valuation Date and Final Valuation Date, respectively, as if the Grantee’s death or Disability had not occurred; and

(ii)                each of (I) the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent calculated pursuant to Section 3(b)  and (II) the Final OPP Unit Equivalent calculated pursuant to Section 3(c) shall be multiplied by the applicable Partial Service Factor (with the resulting numbers being rounded to the nearest whole LTIP Unit or, in the case of 0.5 of a unit, up to the next whole unit), and such adjusted number of LTIP Units shall be deemed the Grantee’s Interim OPP Unit Equivalent and Final OPP Unit Equivalent, respectively, for all purposes under this Agreement;

(iii)              100% of the Grantee’s Interim OPP Unit Equivalent as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii) above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Interim Valuation Date; and

(iv)              100% of the Grantee’s Total OPP Unit Equivalent as adjusted pursuant to Section 4(e)(ii) above shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of the Final Valuation Date.

(f)                 In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her death or Disability after the Final Valuation Date, 100% of the Grantee’s Total OPP Unit Equivalent shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of such termination date.

(g)                In the event of a termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service other than a Qualified Termination or by reason of death or Disability, all Award OPP Units except for those that, as of the date at such termination, both  (i) have ceased to be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Sections 3(b and/or 3(c)  hereof, as applicable, and  (ii) have vested pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, automatically and without notice terminate, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Award OPP Units.

5.                   Payments by Award Recipients; Status as Partner.   No amount shall be payable to the Company or the Partnership by the Grantee at any time in respect of this Agreement.  The Grantee shall have no rights with respect to this Agreement (and the Award evidenced hereby) unless he or she shall have accepted this Agreement by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement and (ii) unless the Grantee is already a Partner (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the Partnership Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A).  Upon acceptance of this Agreement by the Grantee, the Partnership Agreement shall be amended to reflect the issuance to the Grantee of the LTIP Units so accepted.  Thereupon, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to the number of 2013 OPP Units specified on Schedule A hereto, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject,

24


 

 

however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein.  Award OPP Units constitute and shall be treated for all purposes as the property of the Grantee, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement.

6.                   Distributions.

(a)                 The holder of the Award OPP Units shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to such Award OPP Units to the extent provided for in the Partnership Agreement as modified hereby.

(b)                The Distribution Participation Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) for the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent and the Final OPP Unit Equivalent (to the extent provided in Section 6(c) below) shall be the Interim Valuation Date or the Final Valuation Date, respectively, except that if the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof become applicable to the Grantee, the Distribution Participation Date for the Grantee shall be accelerated to the date the calculations provided in Section 3 hereof are performed with respect to the Award OPP Units that are no longer subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof.

(c)                 Following each applicable Distribution Participation Date, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive one hundred percent (100%) of the same distributions payable with respect to Class A Units on the number of Award OPP Units which equals:

(i)                  if the Distribution Participation Date is the Interim Valuation Date, the Interim OPP Unit Equivalent; and

(ii)                if the Distribution Participation Date is the Final Valuation Date (or an earlier date if the Distribution Participation Date is accelerated pursuant to Section 6(b) ), the Total OPP Unit Equivalent.

(d)                Each Award OPP Unit shall be considered a Special LTIP Unit (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and as such: (i) the LTIP Unit Initial Sharing Percentage (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) shall be ten percent (10%) and (ii) the Award OPP Units shall not be entitled to receive distributions prior to the applicable Distribution Participation Date.  On the applicable Distribution Participation Date, Award OPP Units shall be entitled to a Special LTIP Unit Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to the extent provided in the Partnership Agreement.  The Distribution Measurement Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to the Award OPP Units shall be the Effective Date and all of the Award OPP Units granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued as part of the Same Award (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).

(e)                 For the avoidance of doubt, after the applicable Distribution Participation Date, Award OPP Units, both vested and (until and unless forfeited pursuant to Section 3(e) and 4(g)  hereof) unvested, shall be entitled to receive the same distributions payable with respect to Class A Units if the payment date for such distributions is after the applicable Distribution Participation Date, even though the record date for such distributions is before the applicable Distribution Participation Date.

 

 

25


 

 

(f)                 All distributions paid with respect to Award OPP Units, whether at the rate provided in Sections 6(d) hereof prior to the applicable Distribution Participation Date or at the rate provided in Sections 6(c) hereof after the applicable Distribution Participation Date, shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable when paid, regardless of the fact that the underlying 2013 OPP Units may be subject to forfeiture or have not yet become, or never become, vested pursuant to Sections 3 and hereof.

7.                   Restrictions on Transfer.   Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, none of the Award OPP Units granted hereunder nor any of the Partnership Units of the Partnership into which such Award OPP Units may be converted (the “ Award Partnership Units ”) shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “ Transfer ”), and the Redemption Right (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) may not be exercised with respect to the Award Partnership Units, provided that, at any time after the date that (a) is one year after the Award OPP Units have become vested and (b) is at least two (2) years after the Effective Date, (i) Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units may be Transferred to the Grantee’s Family Members by gift or pursuant to domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; and (ii) Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units may be Transferred to an entity in which fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in such entity; notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the date that (a) the Award OPP Units vest and (b) is at least two (2) years after the Effective Date, the Redemption Right may be exercised with respect to Award Partnership Units, and Award Partnership Units may be Transferred to the Partnership or the Company in connection with the exercise of the Redemption Right, in accordance with and to the extent otherwise permitted by the terms of the Partnership Agreement; provided that any Shares received on such redemption may not be Transferred until the date that is one year after the Award OPP Units have become vested.  Additionally, the transferee must agree in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent transfers shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 7 and all Transfers of Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units must be in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act) and the applicable terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement.  In connection with any Transfer of Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units, the Partnership may require the Grantee to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act).  Any attempted Transfer of Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7 shall be null and void, and the Partnership shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units as a result of any such Transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such Transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such Transfer of any Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units.  Except as provided expressly in this Section 7, this Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

8.                   Changes in Capital Structure.   If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or other transaction similar thereto, (ii) any  

26


 

 

stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, significant repurchases of stock, or other similar change in the capital stock of the Company or any other event that constitutes a change in stock under the terms of the Share Plan shall occur, (iii) any extraordinary dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Shares or Class A Units shall be declared and paid other than in the ordinary course, or (iv) any other event shall occur that in each case in the good faith judgment of the Committee necessitates action by way of appropriate equitable or proportionate adjustment in the terms of this Award, this Agreement or the 2013 OPP Units to avoid distortion in the value of this Award, then the Committee shall take such action as it deems necessary to maintain the Grantee’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Award and the terms of the 2013 OPP Units prior to such event, including, without limitation:  (A) interpretations of or modifications to any defined term in this Agreement; (B) adjustments in any calculations provided for in this Agreement, and (C) substitution of other awards under the Share Plan or otherwise. 

9.                   Miscellaneous.

(a)                 Amendment .  This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the consent of the Company and the Partnership acting through the Committee; provided  that any such amendment or modification materially and adversely affecting the rights of the Grantee hereunder must be consented to by the Grantee to be effective as against him.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed only by the Company and the Partnership to correct any errors or ambiguities in this Agreement and/or to make such changes that do not materially adversely affect the Grantee’s rights hereunder.  This grant shall in no way affect the Grantee’s participation or benefits under any other plan or benefit program maintained or provided by the Company or the Partnership. 

(b)                Incorporation of Share Plan; Committee Determinations .  The provisions of the Share Plan are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein.  In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Share Plan, the Share Plan shall govern.  The Committee will make the determinations and certifications required by this Award as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of the event or events necessitating such determinations or certifications.

(c)                 Status of 2013 OPP Units under the Share Plan .  This Award and the other 2013 OPP awards constitute awards of OP Units (as defined in the 2010 Plan) by the Company under the 2010 Plan.  The Award OPP Units are interests in the Partnership.  The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Share Plan underlying outstanding Award OPP Units will be determined by the Committee in light of all applicable circumstances, including calculations made or to be made under Section 3 hereof, vesting, capital account allocations and/or balances under the Partnership Agreement, the conversion ratio in effect between LTIP Units and Class A Units and the exchange ratio in effect between Class A Units and Common Shares.  The Company will have the right at its option, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, to issue Common Shares in exchange for Award Partnership Units in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Partnership Agreement, and such Common Shares, if issued, will be issued under the Share Plan.  The Grantee must be eligible to receive the Award OPP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state

 

27


 

 

securities laws and to that effect is required to complete, execute and deliver certain covenants, representations and warranties (attached as Exhibit B ).  The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will have no right to approve or disapprove such determination by the Committee.

(d)                Legend .  The records of the Partnership evidencing the Award OPP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such 2013 OPP Units are subject to restrictions as set forth herein, in the Share Plan, and in the Partnership Agreement.

(e)                 Compliance With Law .  The Partnership and the Grantee will make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws.  In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no 2013 OPP Units will become vested or be paid at a time that such vesting or payment would result in a violation of any such law.

(f)                 Investment Representations; Registration .  The Grantee hereby makes the covenants, representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.  All of such covenants, warranties and representations shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantee.  The Partnership will have no obligation to register under the Securities Act any 2013 OPP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of 2013 OPP Units.  The Grantee agrees that any resale of the shares of Common Shares received upon the exchange of Units into which 2013 OPP Units may be converted shall not occur during the “blackout periods” forbidding sales of Company securities, as set forth in the then applicable Company employee manual or insider trading policy.  In addition, any resale shall be made in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom, including, without limitation, the exemption provided by Rule 144 promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule).

(g)                Section 83(b) Election .  In connection with each separate issuance of LTIP Units under this Award pursuant to Section 3 hereof the Grantee hereby agrees to make an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the applicable Award OPP Units pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and to supply the necessary information in accordance with the regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Grantee agrees to file the election (or to permit the Partnership to file such election on the Grantee’s behalf) within thirty (30) days after the award of the 2013 OPP Units hereunder with the IRS Service Center at which such Grantee files his personal income tax returns, and to file a copy of such election with the Grantee’s U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the 2013 OPP Units are awarded to the Grantee.

(h)                Severability .  If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not so held invalid, and each such other provision shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the rest of such provision not held so invalid, and the rest of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.

 

 

28


 

 

(i)                  Governing Law .  This Agreement is made under, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State.

(j)                  No Obligation to Continue Position as an Employee, Consultant or Advisor .  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate is obligated by or as a result of this Agreement to continue to have the Grantee as an employee, consultant or advisor and this Agreement shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time.

(k)                Notices .  Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 and any notice to be given the Grantee shall be addressed to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address as it appears on the employment records of the Company, or at such other address as the Company or the Grantee may hereafter designate in writing to the other.

(l)                  Withholding and Taxes .  No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Grantee for income tax purposes or subject to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholding with respect to this Award, the Grantee will pay to the Company or, if appropriate, any of its Affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount; provided , however , that if any Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units are withheld (or returned), the number of Award OPP Units or Award Partnership Units so withheld (or returned) shall be limited to a number which has a fair market value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.  The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee.

(m)              Headings .  The headings of paragraphs hereof are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(n)                Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document.  All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument.

(o)                Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and any successors to the Company and the Partnership, on the one hand, and any successors to the Grantee, on the other hand, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, but this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable or otherwise subject to hypothecation by the Grantee. 

 

 

29


 

 

(p)                Section 409A .  This Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted in accordance with a good faith interpretation of Section 409A of the Code.  Any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, or that may result in penalties under Section 409A of the Code, shall be amended, with the reasonable cooperation of the Grantee, the Company and the Partnership, to the extent necessary to exempt it from, or bring it into compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
