EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 of Vornado Realty Trust and Vornado Realty L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
The Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. Vornado is the sole general partner and also a 92.6% limited partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Vornado has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.
Under the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, unitholders may present their Class A units for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unitholder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. Vornado generally expects that it will elect to issue its common shares in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having the Operating Partnership pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, Vornado’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever Vornado issues common shares other than to acquire Class A units of the Operating Partnership, Vornado must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to Vornado an equivalent number of Class A units of the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.
The Company believes that combining the Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Vornado and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
enhances investors’ understanding of Vornado and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both Vornado and the Operating Partnership; and
creates time and cost efficiencies in the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between Vornado and the Operating Partnership in the context of how Vornado and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of Vornado. Vornado does not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, not Vornado, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of Vornado. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of Vornado. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by Vornado, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for Class A units of partnership in the Operating Partnership, and the net proceeds of debt offerings by Vornado, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for debt securities of the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources may include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein 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 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. We also note the following forward-looking statements: in the case of our development and redevelopment projects, the estimated completion date, estimated project cost and cost to complete; and estimates of future capital expenditures, dividends to common and preferred shareholders and operating partnership distributions. 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 this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Currently, one of the most significant factors is the ongoing adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, operating performance and the effect it has had and may continue to have on our tenants, the global, national, regional and local economies and financial markets and the real estate market in general. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, including vaccination rates among the population, the efficacy and durability of vaccines against emerging variants, and governmental and tenant responses thereto, all of which are uncertain at this time but the impact could be material. Moreover, you are cautioned that the COVID-19 pandemic will heighten many of the risks identified in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.

PART I


ITEM 1.     BUSINESS
Vornado is a fully‑integrated REIT and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders are dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of and owned approximately 92.6% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2021.
We currently own all or portions of: 
New York:
67 Manhattan operating properties consisting of:
20.6 million square feet of office space in 32 of the properties;
2.7 million square feet of street retail space in 60 of the properties;
1,674 units in eight residential properties;
Multiple development sites, including Hotel Pennsylvania;
A 32.4% interest in Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX), which owns six properties in the greater New York metropolitan area, including 731 Lexington Avenue, the 1.1 million square foot Bloomberg, L.P. headquarters building, and The Alexander, a 312-unit apartment tower in Queens;

Other real estate and investments.
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY
Our business objective is to maximize Vornado shareholder value. We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and to execute 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, 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;
developing and redeveloping 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 and 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.
ACQUISITION
We completed the following acquisition during 2021:
$158 million purchase of our joint venture partner's 45% ownership interest in One Park Avenue (valuing the property at $875 million, encumbered by $525 million of existing debt), increasing our ownership interest to 100%.

DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
PENN District
Farley
Our 95% joint venture (5% is owned by the Related Companies ("Related")) is developing Farley Office and Retail, which will include approximately 845,000 rentable square feet of commercial space, comprised of approximately 730,000 square feet of office space and approximately 115,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. The total development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $1,120,000,000 at our 95% share, of which $896,186,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2021.
PENN 1
We are redeveloping PENN 1, a 2,547,000 square foot office building located on 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenue. In December 2020, we entered into an agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) to oversee the redevelopment of the Long Island Rail Road Concourse at Penn Station (the "Concourse"), within the footprint of PENN 1. Skanska USA Civil Northeast, Inc. will perform the redevelopment under a fixed price contract for $380,000,000 which is being funded by the MTA. In connection with the redevelopment, we entered into an agreement with the MTA which will result in the widening of the Concourse to relieve overcrowding and our trading of 15,000 square feet of back of house space for 22,000 square feet of retail frontage space. Vornado's total development cost for the PENN 1 project is estimated to be $450,000,000. As of December 31, 2021, $309,437,000 of cash has been expended.
PENN 2
We are redeveloping PENN 2, a 1,795,000 square foot (as expanded) office building, located on the west side of Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Street. The development cost of this project is estimated to be $750,000,000, of which $161,066,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2021.
PENN 15 (Hotel Pennsylvania Site)
We have permanently closed the Hotel Pennsylvania and plan to develop an office tower on the site. Demolition of the existing building structure commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021.
We are also making districtwide improvements within the PENN District. The development cost of these improvements is estimated to be $100,000,000, of which $31,481,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2021.

We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan including, in particular, the PENN District.
There can be no assurance that the above projects will be completed, completed on schedule or within budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES
We have long believed a focus on environmental sustainability is responsible management of our business and important to our tenants. It has been central to Vornado's business strategy for over 10 years. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of Vornado's Board of Trustees is assigned with oversight of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) matters, which includes climate change risk. Environmental sustainability initiatives are carried out by a dedicated team of professionals that work directly with our business units.
Vornado is an industry leader in sustainability, owning and operating more than 27 million square feet of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified buildings, representing 95% of our office portfolio, with over 23 million square feet at LEED Gold or Platinum. In 2021, we were selected as a global “Sector Leader” for all Office/Retail Diversified REITs in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark ("GRESB"), ranked second among 94 responding listed companies in the United States and received the “Green Star” distinction for the ninth consecutive year. In 2020, we received the Leader in the Light Award by the National Association for Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) for the 11th consecutive year; were recognized as an EPA ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year, with the Sustained Excellence distinction; and received the 2020 Leadership Award from the United States Green Buildings Council (USGBC). We prioritize addressing climate change and in 2019 adopted a 10-year plan to make our buildings carbon neutral by 2030 (“Vision 2030”). Vision 2030 is a multi-faceted approach that prioritizes energy efficiency, demand management, and renewable power. We rely on both existing and future technology, as well as meaningful stakeholder collaboration with our tenants, our employees, and our communities, to achieve this plan. Our commitment to carbon neutrality and associated emissions reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative as consistent with a 1.5°C climate scenario, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.
We consider sustainability in all aspects of our business, including the design, construction, retrofit and ongoing maintenance and operations of our portfolio of buildings. We operate our buildings sustainably and efficiently by establishing best practices in energy and water consumption, carbon reduction, resource and waste management and ecologically sensitive procurement. Our policies, from 100% green cleaning to energy efficiency, are implemented across our entire portfolio. Mandatory sustainability training is required for all of our building operators and managers, and we undertake significant outreach with our tenants, employees and investors regarding Vornado’s sustainability programs and strategies.
In January 2022, the Compensation Committee of Vornado's Board of Trustees approved the 2022 performance based long-term incentive plan which for the first time formally ties senior management compensation to achievement of certain ESG targets, including reductions in greenhouse emissions, achieving a specified GRESB score and targeting a higher percentage of LEED Gold or Platinum certified square footage.
We are committed to transparent reporting of sustainability performance indicators and publish an annual ESG Report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative and aligned with the metrics codified by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and recommendations set forth by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. Further details on our environmental sustainability initiatives and strategy, including our Vision 2030 Roadmap, can be found in our 2020 ESG Report at (esg.vno.com). There can be no assurance that our Vision 2030 commitment will be achieved in the planned time frame. The ESG Report is not incorporated by reference and should not be considered part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 2021, we have approximately 3,224 employees, consisting of (i) 2,710 employees of Building Maintenance Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, which provides cleaning, security, and engineering services primarily to our New York properties, (ii) 235 employees in our corporate office, (iii) 161 employees in leasing and property management, and (iv) 118 employees of theMART. The foregoing does not include employees of partially owned entities.
Human capital management is critical to our success and our employees are the foundation of our human capital. To foster talent and growth, we provide training and continuing education, promote career and personal development, and encourage innovation and engagement.
Compensation, Benefits and Employees Wellbeing
To attract and retain the best-qualified talent and to help our employees stay healthy, balance their work and personal lives, and meet their financial and retirement goals, we offer competitive benefits including, but not limited to, market-competitive compensation, healthcare (medical, dental and vision coverage), a health savings account, 401(k) and employer match, dependent care flexible spending account, parental leave, adoption/surrogacy benefits, short-term and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, time off/paid holidays, tuition reimbursement, subsidized gym memberships, employee wellness programs and incentives, in-workplace COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, onsite COVID-19 testing, commuter benefits, employee assistance program and workplace flexibility.
Talent Development
We promote career and personal development, provide training and continuing education, and encourage innovation and engagement. This includes tuition reimbursement for our employees’ continuing education and professional development, and the opportunity to participate in a variety of training and networking engagements.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT - CONTINUED
Culture and Engagement
Our employees are critical to our success, and we believe creating a positive and inclusive culture is essential to attracting and retaining engaged employees. We seek to retain our employees by actively engaging with our workforce and we solicit their feedback through our divisional leaders and employee surveys. We use their feedback to create and continually enhance programs that support their needs.
Through our volunteer program, Vornado Volunteers, employees are granted one day of paid time off per calendar year to volunteer for a cause of their choice.
Diversity and Inclusion
Vornado is a diverse and inclusive environment that empowers the individual and enriches the employment experience. We have published Equal Employment Opportunity “EEO” data since 2017 and have a broadly diverse workforce across both our corporate base as well as our BMS division. Our employee demographics data can be found on our ESG micro-site (esg.vno.com), which is not incorporated by reference and should not be considered part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our diversity metrics set a baseline from where we constantly strive to improve.
Health and Wellness / COVID-19 Response
As a building owner and landlord to thousands of business tenants, we focus on maintaining and improving the health of our indoor environments, as well as communicating the value of our health and wellness programs with consistency and clarity to our stakeholders. We believe that consistent health programming and communications protocols not only mitigate health risks within our buildings, but they also create a responsible behavior framework for our employees, our tenants, and our visitors.
We responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with determination to ensure that our tenants, employees and visitors remain healthy and safe. We fortified many of our buildings with protections that include daily health screenings and questionnaires, social distancing and PPE requirements, enhanced HVAC and indoor air quality, and installed onsite COVID-19 testing and vaccination locations. This infrastructure is further reinforced with our green cleaning program and our on-site operations team.
Labor Relations
BMS employs and manages janitorial and security staff who are members of 32BJ SEIU and engineering staff who are members of Local 94 of the International Union of Operating Engineers AFL-CIO. Through our active participation in the Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, we work collaboratively with both unions and consider our relations with our union employees to be very positive.
For additional information on human capital matters, please see our most recent ESG report, available for download on our website at www.vno.com and in digital format at esg.vno.com. This report and other information on our website are not incorporated by reference into and do not form any part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
COMPETITION
We compete with a large number of real estate investors, property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, 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 global, 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, population and employment trends. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A for additional information regarding these factors.
SEGMENT DATA
We operate in the following reportable segments: New York and Other. Financial information related to these reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is set forth in Note 23 – Segment Information to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
TENANTS ACCOUNTING FOR OVER 10% OF REVENUES 
None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in any of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
CERTAIN ACTIVITIES 
We do not base our acquisitions and investments on specific allocations by type of property. We have historically held our properties for long‑term investment; however, it is possible that properties in our portfolio may be sold or otherwise disposed of when circumstances warrant. Further, we have not adopted a policy that limits the amount or percentage of assets which could be invested in a specific property or property type. Generally our activities are reviewed and may be modified from time to time by Vornado’s Board of Trustees without the vote of our shareholders or Operating Partnership unitholders. 
PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES 
Our principal executive offices are located at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019; telephone (212) 894‑7000.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS 
Material factors that may adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition are summarized below. We refer to the equity and debt securities of both Vornado and the Operating Partnership as our “securities” and the investors who own shares of Vornado or units of the Operating Partnership, or both, as our “equity holders.” The risks and uncertainties described herein may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition. See “Forward-Looking Statements” contained herein on page 6.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR PROPERTIES AND INDUSTRY
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact could be material to us.
Our business has been adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and preventive measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. The pandemic has resulted in governments and other authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and business closures. Existing and potential new variants make the on-going impact of the COVID-19 pandemic difficult to predict. If the virus continues to spread significantly in its current form or as a more contagious variant, governmental agencies and other authorities may order additional closures or impose further restrictions on businesses, which could negatively impact the financial condition of our tenants. The continuation of the pandemic could also have fundamental adverse effects on our business. Further delays in tenant return-to-work plans as a result of the continued risks of the pandemic and further dependence on work from home and flexible work arrangements may lead our office tenants to reassess their long-term physical space needs. Further, while many of the limitations and restrictions imposed on retailers during the onset of the pandemic have been lifted and/or eased, economic conditions, including a decline in Manhattan tourism since the onset of the virus, continue to adversely affect the financial health of our retail tenants. The impact of such conditions could cause retailers to reduce the number and size of their physical locations and further increase reliance on e-commerce. Over time, these factors could decrease the demand for office and retail space and ultimately decrease occupancy and/or rent levels across our portfolio, which may have a negative impact on our financial condition and/or access to capital. In addition, the value of our real estate assets may decline, which may result in non-cash impairment charges in future periods and the impact could be material. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including vaccination rates among the population, the efficacy and durability of vaccines against emerging variants, and governmental and tenant responses thereto, all of which are uncertain at this time. Given the dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows but the impact could be material.
A significant portion of our properties is located in the New York City Metropolitan area and is affected by the economic cycles and risks inherent to this area. 
In 2021, approximately 88% of our net operating income ("NOI", a non-GAAP measure) came from properties located in the New York City metropolitan area. We may continue to concentrate a significant portion of our future acquisitions, development and redevelopment in this area. Real estate markets are subject to economic downturns and we cannot predict how economic conditions will impact this market in either the short or long term. Declines in the economy or declines in real estate markets in the New York City metropolitan area, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, have hurt and could continue to hurt our financial performance and the value of our properties. In addition to the factors affecting the national economic condition generally, the factors affecting economic conditions in this region include:
financial performance and productivity of the media, advertising, professional services, financial, technology, retail, insurance and real estate industries;
business layoffs or downsizing;
any oversupply of, or reduced demand for, real estate;
industry slowdowns;
relocations of businesses;
changing demographics;
increased work from home and use of alternative work places;
changes in the number of domestic and international tourists to our markets (including as a result of changes in the relative strengths of world currencies and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic);
the fiscal health of New York State and New York City governments and local transit authorities, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
infrastructure quality; and
changes in rates or the treatment of the deductibility of state and local taxes.


12


It is impossible for us to ensure the accuracy of predictions of the future or the effect of trends in the economic and investment climates of the geographic areas in which we concentrate, and more generally of the United States, or the real estate markets in these areas. Local, national or global economic downturns could negatively affect the value of our properties, our businesses and profitability.
We are subject to risks that affect the general and New York City retail environments.
Certain of our properties are Manhattan retail properties. In 2021, approximately 17% of our NOI is from Manhattan retail properties. As such, these properties are affected by the general and New York City retail environments, including office and residential occupancy rates, the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, Manhattan tourism, employer remote-working policies, the threat of terrorism, increasing competition from on-line retailers, other retailers, and outlet malls, and the impact of technological change upon the retail environment generally. Further, New York City tourism has not yet fully recovered from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in international tourists, who comprise a major source of demand for our Manhattan retail tenants, has adversely affected such tenants. These factors could adversely affect the financial condition of our retail tenants, or result in the bankruptcy of such tenants, and the willingness of retailers to lease space in our retail locations, which could have an adverse effect on the value of our properties, our business and profitability.
Our performance and the value of an investment in us are subject to risks associated with our real estate assets and with the real estate industry.
The value of our real estate and the value of an investment in us fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These conditions may also adversely impact our revenues and cash flows.
The factors that affect the value of our real estate investments include, among other things:
global, national, regional and local economic conditions;
competition from other available space, including co-working space and sub-leases;
local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;
how well we manage our properties;
the development and/or redevelopment of our properties;
changes in market rental rates;
the impact on our retail tenants and demand for retail space at our properties due to increased competition from online shopping;
the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals;
whether we are able to pass all or portions of any increases in operating costs through to tenants;
changes in real estate taxes and other expenses;
the ability of state and local governments to operate within their budgets;
whether tenants and users such as customers and shoppers consider a property attractive;
changes in consumer preferences adversely affecting retailers and retail store values;
changes in space utilization by our tenants due to technology, economic conditions, and business environment;
the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults;
consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attacks against, the United States or individual acts of violence in public spaces;
trends in office real estate;
availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all;
inflation or deflation;
fluctuations in interest rates;
our ability to obtain adequate insurance;
changes in zoning laws and taxation;
government regulation;
potential liability under environmental or other laws or regulations;
natural disasters;
general competitive factors;
climate change; and
pandemics.
The rents or sales proceeds we receive and the occupancy levels at our properties may decline as a result of adverse changes in any of these factors. If rental revenues, sales proceeds and/or occupancy levels decline, we generally would expect to have less cash available for operating costs, to pay indebtedness and for distribution to equity holders. In addition, some of our major expenses, including mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs generally do not decline when the related rents decline and maintenance costs can increase substantially in an inflationary environment.

Real estate is a competitive business and that competition may adversely impact us.
We compete with a large number of real estate investors, property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Substantially all of our properties face competition from similar properties in the same market, which may adversely impact the rents we can charge at those properties and our results of operations.
Our commercial office properties are located primarily in highly developed areas of the New York metropolitan area. Manhattan is the largest office market in the United States. The number of competitive office properties in the New York metropolitan area, which may be newer or better located than our properties, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease office space at our properties and on the effective rents we are able to charge.
We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from tenants who may not be able to pay.
Our financial results depend significantly on leasing space in our properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. In addition, because a majority of our income comes from renting of real property, our income, funds available to pay indebtedness and funds available for distribution to equity holders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or if we are not able to maintain occupancy levels on favorable terms. If a tenant does not pay its rent, we may not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and may incur substantial legal and other costs. Even if we are able to enforce our rights, a tenant may not have recoverable assets.
We may be adversely affected by trends in office real estate, including work from home trends.
In 2021, approximately 79% of our NOI is from our office properties. Work from home, flexible or hybrid work schedules, open workplaces, videoconferencing, and teleconferencing are becoming more common, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These practices may enable businesses to reduce their office space requirements. There is also an increasing trend among some businesses to utilize shared office spaces and co-working spaces. A continuation of the movement towards these practices could, over time, erode the overall demand for office space and, in turn, place downward pressure on occupancy, rental rates, cash flows and property valuations.
We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire.
When our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration, we may not be able to relet the space. Even if tenants do renew or we can relet the space, the terms of renewal or reletting, considering among other things, rent and other concessions, the cost of improvements to the property and leasing commissions, may be less favorable than the terms in the expired leases. In addition, changes in space utilization by our tenants may impact our ability to renew or relet space without the need to incur substantial costs in renovating or redesigning the internal configuration of the relevant property. If we are unable to promptly renew the leases or relet the space at similar rates or if we incur substantial costs in renewing or reletting the space, our cash flow and ability to service debt obligations and pay dividends and distributions to equity holders could be adversely affected.
Bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants may decrease our revenue, net income and available cash.
From time to time, some of our tenants have declared bankruptcy, and other tenants may declare bankruptcy or become insolvent in the future. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant could cause us to suffer lower revenues and operational difficulties, including leasing the remainder of the property. As a result, the bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant could result in decreased net income and funds available to pay our indebtedness or make distributions to equity holders.
Terrorist attacks may adversely affect the value of our properties and our ability to generate cash flow.
We have significant investments in the New York City, Chicago and San Francisco metropolitan areas. In response to a terrorist attack or the perceived threat of terrorism, tenants in these areas may choose to relocate their businesses to less populated, lower-profile areas of the United States that may be perceived to be less likely targets of future terrorist activity and fewer customers may choose to patronize businesses in these areas. This, in turn, would trigger a decrease in the demand for space in these areas, which could increase vacancies in our properties and force us to lease space on less favorable terms. Furthermore, we may experience increased costs in security, equipment and personnel. As a result, the value of our properties and the level of our revenues and cash flows could decline materially.
Natural disasters and the effects of climate change could have a concentrated impact on the areas where we operate and could adversely impact our results.
Our investments are concentrated in the New York, Chicago and San Francisco metropolitan areas. Natural disasters, including earthquakes, storms, tornados, floods and hurricanes, could cause significant damage to our properties and the surrounding environment or area. Potentially adverse consequences of “global warming,” including rising sea levels, could similarly have an impact on our properties and the economies of the metropolitan areas in which we operate. Government efforts to combat climate change may impact the cost of operating our properties. Over time, these conditions could result in declining demand for office space in our buildings or the inability of us to operate the buildings at all. Climate change may also have indirect effects on our business by
14


increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable, increasing the cost of energy at our properties and requiring us to expend funds as we seek to repair and protect our properties against such risks. The incurrence of these losses, costs or business interruptions may adversely affect our operating and financial results.
Our properties are located in urban areas, which means the vitality of our properties is reliant on sound transportation and utility infrastructure. If that infrastructure is compromised in any way by an extreme weather event, such a compromise could have an adverse impact on our local economies and populations, as well as on our tenants’ ability to do business in our buildings.
Our properties are subject to transitional risks related to climate-related policy change.
De-carbonization of grid-supplied energy could lead to increased energy costs and operating expenses for our buildings. Retrofitting our building systems to consume less energy could lead to increased capital costs. Buildings which consume fossil fuel onsite may be subject to penalties. In addition, the full transition of grid-supplied energy to renewable sources (as has been mandated by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act in New York State) could lead to increased energy costs and operating expenses for our buildings.
We may become subject to costs, taxes or penalties, or increases therein, associated with natural resource or energy usage, such as a “carbon tax” and by local legislation such as New York City’s Local Law 97, which sets limits on carbon emissions in our buildings and imposes penalties if we exceed those limits, or laws passed to impose limits or eliminate any onsite fossil fuel combustion in new construction and major renovations. These costs, taxes or penalties could increase our operating costs and decrease the cash available to pay our obligations or distribute to our equity owners.
Changes to tax laws could affect REITs generally, the trading of our shares and our results of operations, both positively and negatively, in ways that are difficult to anticipate.
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect the taxation of REITs and their shareholders. We cannot predict whether, when, in what form, or with what effective dates, tax laws, regulations and rulings may be enacted, promulgated or decided, or technical corrections made, which could result in an increase in our, or our shareholders’, tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize increases in our tax liability. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income and/or be subject to additional restrictions. These increased tax costs could, among other things, adversely affect the trading price for our common shares, our financial condition, our results of operations and the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS AND STRATEGIES
We face risks associated with property acquisitions. 
We have acquired in the past and intend to continue to pursue the acquisition of properties and portfolios of properties, including, but not limited to, large portfolios that could increase our size and result in alterations to our capital structure. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:
even if we enter into an acquisition agreement for a property, we may be unable to complete that acquisition after making a non-refundable deposit and incurring certain other acquisition-related costs;
we may be unable to obtain or assume financing for acquisitions on favorable terms or at all;
acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;
the actual costs of repositioning, redeveloping or maintaining acquired properties may be greater than our estimates and may require significantly greater time and attention of management than anticipated;
the acquisition agreement will likely contain conditions to closing, including completion of due diligence investigations to our satisfaction or other conditions that are not within our control, which may not be satisfied;
acquired properties may be located in new markets where we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships in the area, costs associated with opening a new regional office and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures;
we may acquire real estate through the acquisition of the ownership entity subjecting us to the risks of that entity and we may be exposed to the liabilities of properties or companies acquired, some of which we may not be aware of at the time of acquisition; and
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and this could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Any delay or failure on our part to identify, negotiate, finance and consummate such acquisitions in a timely manner and on favorable terms, or operate acquired properties to meet our financial expectations, could impede our growth and have an adverse effect on us, including our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the market value of our securities.

15


We are exposed to risks associated with property redevelopment and repositioning that could adversely affect us, including our financial condition and results of operations.
We continue to engage in redevelopment and repositioning activities with respect to our properties, and, accordingly, we are subject to certain risks, which could adversely affect us, including our financial condition and results of operations. These risks include, without limitation, (i) the availability and pricing of financing on favorable terms or at all; (ii) the availability and timely receipt of zoning and other regulatory approvals; (iii) the potential for the fluctuation of occupancy rates and rents at redeveloped properties, which may result in our investment not being profitable; (iv) start up, repositioning and redevelopment costs may be higher than anticipated; (v) cost overruns, especially in an inflationary environment, and untimely completion of construction (including risks beyond our control, such as weather or labor conditions, material shortages or supply chain delays); (vi) the potential that we may fail to recover expenses already incurred if we abandon development or redevelopment opportunities after we begin to explore them; (vii) the potential that we may expend funds on and devote management time to projects which we do not complete; (viii) the inability to complete leasing of a property on schedule or at all, resulting in an increase in carrying or redevelopment costs; (ix) the possibility that properties will be leased at below expected rental rates and (x) to the extent the redevelopment activities are conducted in partnership with third parties, the possibility of disputes with our joint venture development partners and the potential that we miss certain project milestone deadlines. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and could prevent the initiation or the completion of redevelopment activities or the ultimate rents achieved on new developments, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the market value of our common shares and ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations and to make distributions to our shareholders.
From time to time we have made, and in the future we may seek to make one or more material acquisitions. The announcement of such a material acquisition may result in a rapid and significant decline in the price of our securities.
From time to time we have made, and in the future we may seek to make one or more material acquisitions that we believe will maximize shareholder value. However, an announcement by us of one or more significant acquisitions could result in a quick and significant decline in the price of our securities.
It may be difficult to sell real estate timely, which may limit our flexibility.
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Consequently, we may have limited ability to dispose of assets in our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions which could have an adverse effect on our sources of working capital and our ability to satisfy our debt obligations.
We may not be able to effectively operate our business if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel due to a tight labor market and COVID-19 vaccine mandate in areas in which we operate.
Our success depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. Currently, the U.S. job market is experiencing labor shortages and employee resignations at record levels. Factors impacting the labor shortage include continued fears of COVID-19, enhanced unemployment insurance benefits, people leaving the workforce entirely, higher pay from competitors, demand for flexible working hours and remote work, and many other factors. The increased ability of employees in the workforce to work from home or in other remote work arrangements has made it and may continue to make it more difficult for us to compete in the job market. In addition, we may find it difficult to attract and retain employees in New York City, where our corporate office and a significant portion of our properties are located, due to the implementation of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate beginning in December 2021. Our inability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business.
Significant inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Increased inflation could adversely affect us by increasing costs of land, construction and renovation. In a highly inflationary environment, we may be unable to raise rental rates at or above the rate of inflation, which could reduce our profit margins. In addition, our cost of labor and materials could increase, which could have an adverse impact on our business or financial results. While increases in most operating expenses at our properties can be passed on to our office and retail tenants, some tenants have fixed reimbursement charges and expenses at our residential properties may not be able to be passed on to residential tenants. Unreimbursed increased operating expenses may reduce cash flow available for payment of mortgage debt and interest and for distributions to shareholders.
We may not be permitted to dispose of certain properties or pay down the debt associated with those properties when we might otherwise desire to do so without incurring additional costs. In addition, when we dispose of or sell assets, we may not be able to reinvest the sales proceeds and earn similar returns.
As part of an acquisition of a property, or a portfolio of properties, we may agree, and in the past have agreed, not to dispose of the acquired properties or reduce the mortgage indebtedness for a long-term period, unless we pay certain of the resulting tax costs of the seller. These agreements could result in us holding on to properties that we would otherwise sell and not pay down or refinance. In addition, when we dispose of or sell assets, we may not be able to reinvest the sales proceeds and earn returns similar to those generated by the assets that were sold.
16


From time to time we have made, and in the future we may seek to make investments in companies over which we do not have sole control. Some of these companies operate in industries with different risks than investing and operating real estate.
From time to time we have made, and in the future we may seek to make, investments in companies that we may not control, including, but not limited to, Alexander’s, our Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV, and other equity and loan investments. Although these businesses generally have a significant real estate component, some of them operate in businesses that are different from investing and operating real estate. Consequently, we are subject to operating and financial risks of those industries and to the risks associated with lack of control, such as having differing objectives than our partners or the entities in which we invest, or becoming involved in disputes, or competing directly or indirectly with these partners or entities. In addition, we rely on the internal controls and financial reporting controls of these entities and their failure to maintain effectiveness or comply with applicable standards may adversely affect us.
We are subject to risks involved in real estate activity through joint ventures and private equity real estate funds.
We currently own properties through joint ventures and private equity real estate funds with other persons and entities and may in the future acquire or own properties through joint ventures and funds when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such structures. Joint venture and fund investments involve risk, including: the possibility that our partners might refuse to make capital contributions when due and therefore we may be forced to make contributions to maintain the value of the property; that we may be responsible to our partners for indemnifiable losses; that our partners might at any time have business or economic goals that are inconsistent with ours; that third parties may be hesitant or refuse to transact with the joint venture or fund due to the identity of our partners; and that our partners may be in a position to take action or withhold consent contrary to our recommendations, instructions or requests. We and our respective joint venture partners may each have the right to trigger a buy-sell, put right or forced sale arrangement, which could cause us to sell our interest, or acquire our partner’s interest, or to sell the underlying asset, at a time when we otherwise would not have initiated such a transaction, without our consent or on unfavorable terms. In some instances, joint venture and fund partners may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflicts of interest. These conflicts may include compliance with the REIT requirements, and our REIT status could be jeopardized if any of our joint ventures or funds do not operate in compliance with REIT requirements. To the extent our partners do not meet their obligations to us or our joint ventures or funds, or they take action inconsistent with the interests of the joint venture or fund, we may be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDEBTEDNESS AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL
Capital markets and economic conditions can materially affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations as well as the value of an investment in our debt and equity securities.
There are many factors that can affect the value of our debt and equity securities, including the state of the capital markets and the economy. Demand for office and retail space typically declines nationwide due to an economic downturn, bankruptcies, downsizing, layoffs and cost cutting. Government action or inaction may adversely affect the state of the capital markets. The cost and availability of credit may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads, which may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, including our results of operations, and the liquidity and financial condition of our tenants. Our inability or the inability of our tenants to timely refinance maturing liabilities and access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations and the value of our securities.
We may not be able to obtain capital to make investments.
We depend primarily on external financing to fund the growth of our business. This is because one of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for a REIT is that it distributes 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its shareholders. This, in turn, requires the Operating Partnership to make distributions to its unitholders. There is a separate requirement to distribute net capital gains or pay a corporate level tax in lieu thereof. Our access to debt or equity financing depends on the willingness of third parties to lend or make equity investments and on conditions in the capital markets generally. Although we believe that we will be able to finance any investments we may wish to make in the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that new financing will be available or available on acceptable terms. For information about our available sources of funds, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We depend on dividends and distributions from our direct and indirect subsidiaries. The creditors and preferred equity holders of these subsidiaries are entitled to amounts payable to them by the subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or distributions to us.
Substantially all of Vornado’s assets are held through its Operating Partnership that holds substantially all of its properties and assets through subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership’s cash flow is dependent on cash distributions to it by its subsidiaries, and in turn, substantially all of Vornado’s cash flow is dependent on cash distributions to it by the Operating Partnership. The creditors of each of Vornado’s direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiary’s obligations to them, when due and payable, before distributions may be made by that subsidiary to its equity holders. Thus, the Operating Partnership’s ability to make distributions to its equity holders depends on its subsidiaries’ ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to make distributions to the Operating Partnership. Likewise, Vornado’s ability to pay dividends to its holders of common and preferred shares
17


depends on the Operating Partnership’s ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and make distributions to holders of its preferred units and then to make distributions to Vornado.
Furthermore, the holders of preferred units of the Operating Partnership are entitled to receive preferred distributions before payment of distributions to the Operating Partnership’s equity holders, including Vornado. Thus, Vornado’s ability to pay cash dividends to its equity holders and satisfy its debt obligations depends on the Operating Partnership’s ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and make distributions to holders of its preferred units and then to its equity holders, including Vornado. As of December 31, 2021, there were three series of preferred units of the Operating Partnership not held by Vornado with a total liquidation value of $53,223,000.
In addition, Vornado’s participation in any distribution of the assets of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries upon the liquidation, reorganization or insolvency is only after the claims of the creditors, including trade creditors and preferred equity holders, are satisfied.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness that could affect our future operations.
As of December 31, 2021, our consolidated mortgages and unsecured indebtedness, excluding related premium, discount and deferred financing costs, totaled $8.7 billion. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to meet our required debt service. Our debt service costs generally will not be reduced if developments in the market or at our properties, such as the entry of new competitors or the loss of major tenants, cause a reduction in the income from our properties. Should such events occur, our operations may be adversely affected. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and income from such property is insufficient to pay that indebtedness, the property could be foreclosed upon by the mortgagee resulting in a loss of income and a decline in our total asset value.
We have outstanding debt, and the amount of debt and its cost may increase and refinancing may not be available on acceptable terms.
We rely on both secured and unsecured, variable rate and non-variable rate debt to finance acquisitions and development activities and for working capital. If we are unable to obtain debt financing or refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. In addition, the cost of our existing debt may increase, especially in the case of a rising interest rate environment, and we may not be able to refinance our existing debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms. If the cost or amount of our indebtedness increases or we cannot refinance our debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we are at risk of credit rating downgrades and default on our obligations that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect results of operations.
The interest rate hedge instruments we use to manage some of our exposure to interest rate volatility involve risk and counterparties may fail to perform under these arrangements. In addition, these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes and when existing interest rate hedges terminate, we may incur increased costs in implementing further interest rate hedges. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations.
Covenants in our debt instruments could adversely affect our financial condition and our acquisitions and development activities.
The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the applicable lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. Our unsecured indebtedness and debt that we may obtain in the future may contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt based upon the level of our ratio of total debt to total assets, our ratio of secured debt to total assets, our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, and fixed charges, and that require us to maintain a certain ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Our ability to borrow is subject to compliance with these and other covenants. In addition, failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt instrument, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from such other sources or give possession of a secured property to the lender. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us or may be available only on unattractive terms.
A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Our credit rating and the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities and our preferred shares could change based upon, among other things, our results of operations and financial condition. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies, and any rating could be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances warrant such action. Moreover, these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our common shares or any other securities. If any of the credit rating agencies that have rated our securities downgrades or lowers its credit rating, or if any credit rating agency indicates that it has placed any such rating on a “watch list” for a possible downgrading or lowering, or otherwise indicates that its outlook for that rating is negative, such action could have a material adverse effect on our costs and availability of funding, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, the trading/redemption price of our securities, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends and distributions to our equity holders.

18


RISK RELATED TO OUR ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE
Vornado’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the “declaration of trust”) sets limits on the ownership of its shares.
Generally, for Vornado to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Vornado may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of Vornado’s taxable year. The Internal Revenue Code defines “individuals” for purposes of the requirement described in the preceding sentence to include some types of entities. Under Vornado’s declaration of trust, as amended, no person may own more than 6.7% of the outstanding common shares of any class, or 9.9% of the outstanding preferred shares of any class, with some exceptions for persons who held common shares in excess of the 6.7% limit before Vornado adopted the limit and other persons approved by Vornado’s Board of Trustees. In addition, our declaration of trust includes restrictions on ownership of our common shares and preferred shares to preserve our status as a "domestically controlled qualified investment entity" within the meaning of Section 897 (h)(4)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. These restrictions on transferability and ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Vornado or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of equity holders.
The Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) contains provisions that may reduce the likelihood of certain takeover transactions.
The MGCL imposes conditions and restrictions on certain “business combinations” (including, among other transactions, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance of equity securities) between a Maryland REIT and certain persons who beneficially own at least 10% of the corporation’s stock (an “interested shareholder”). Unless approved in advance by the board of trustees of the trust, or otherwise exempted by the statute, such a business combination is prohibited for a period of five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. After such five-year period, a business combination with an interested shareholder must be: (a) recommended by the board of trustees of the trust, and (b) approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) 80% of the trust’s outstanding shares entitled to vote and (ii) two-thirds of the trust’s outstanding shares entitled to vote which are not held by the interested shareholder with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other things, the trust’s common shareholders receive a “fair price” (as defined by the statute) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for his or her shares.
In approving a transaction, Vornado’s Board of Trustees may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the Board of Trustees. Vornado’s Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution exempting any business combination between Vornado and any trustee or officer of Vornado or its affiliates. As a result, any trustee or officer of Vornado or its affiliates may be able to enter into business combinations with Vornado that may not be in the best interest of our equity holders. With respect to business combinations with other persons, the business combination provisions of the MGCL may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Vornado or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of our equity holders. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of Vornado and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL permits our Board of Trustees, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our declaration of trust or bylaws, to implement certain takeover defenses, including adopting a classified board or increasing the vote required to remove a trustee. Such takeover defenses may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us under the circumstances that otherwise could provide our common shareholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price.
Vornado may issue additional shares in a manner that could adversely affect the likelihood of certain takeover transactions.
Vornado’s declaration of trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to:
cause Vornado to issue additional authorized but unissued common shares or preferred shares;
classify or reclassify, in one or more series, any unissued preferred shares;
set the preferences, rights and other terms of any classified or reclassified shares that Vornado issues; and
increase, without shareholder approval, the number of shares of beneficial interest that Vornado may issue.
Vornado’s Board of Trustees could establish a series of preferred shares whose terms could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Vornado, and therefore of the Operating Partnership, or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of our equity holders, although Vornado’s Board of Trustees does not now intend to establish a series of preferred shares of this kind. Vornado’s declaration of trust and bylaws contain other provisions that may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Vornado or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of our equity holders.
We may change our policies without obtaining the approval of our equity holders.
Our operating and financial policies, including our policies with respect to acquisitions of real estate or other companies, growth, operations, indebtedness, capitalization, dividends and distributions, are exclusively determined by Vornado’s Board of Trustees. Accordingly, our equity holders do not control these policies.
19


Steven Roth and Interstate Properties may exercise substantial influence over us. They and some of Vornado’s other trustees and officers have interests or positions in other entities that may compete with us.
As of December 31, 2021, Interstate Properties, a New Jersey general partnership, and its partners beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 6.9% of the common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado and 26.1% of the common stock of Alexander’s, which is described below. Steven Roth, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. are the three partners of Interstate Properties. Mr. Roth is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, the managing general partner of Interstate Properties, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Alexander’s. Messrs. Mandelbaum and Wight are Trustees of Vornado and Directors of Alexander’s.
Because of these overlapping interests, Mr. Roth and Interstate Properties and its partners may have substantial influence over Vornado, and therefore over the Operating Partnership. In addition, certain decisions concerning our operations or financial structure may present conflicts of interest among Messrs. Roth, Mandelbaum and Wight and Interstate Properties and our other equity holders. In addition, Mr. Roth, Interstate Properties and its partners, and Alexander’s currently and may in the future engage in a wide variety of activities in the real estate business which may result in conflicts of interest with respect to matters affecting us, such as which of these entities or persons, if any, may take advantage of potential business opportunities, the business focus of these entities, the types of properties and geographic locations in which these entities make investments, potential competition between business activities conducted, or sought to be conducted, competition for properties and tenants, possible corporate transactions such as acquisitions and other strategic decisions affecting the future of these entities.
We manage and lease the real estate assets of Interstate Properties pursuant to a management agreement for which we receive an annual fee equal to 4% of annual base rent and percentage rent. See Note 22 – Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
There may be conflicts of interest between Alexander’s and us.
As of December 31, 2021, we owned 32.4% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s. Alexander’s is a REIT that has six properties, which are located in the greater New York metropolitan area. In addition to the 2.2% that they indirectly own through Vornado, Interstate Properties, which is described above, and its partners owned 26.1% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s as of December 31, 2021. Mr. Roth is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, the managing general partner of Interstate Properties, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Alexander’s. Messrs. Mandelbaum and Wight are Trustees of Vornado and Directors of Alexander’s and general partners of Interstate Properties. Ms. Mandakini Puri and Dr. Richard West are Trustees of Vornado and Directors of Alexander’s.
We manage, develop and lease Alexander’s properties under management, development and leasing agreements under which we receive annual fees from Alexander’s. These agreements are described in Note 5 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON SHARES AND OPERATING PARTNERSHIP CLASS A UNITS
The trading price of Vornado’s common shares has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate. 
The trading price of Vornado’s common shares has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate widely as a result of several factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have in the past and may in the future adversely affect the market price of Vornado’s common shares and the redemption price of the Operating Partnership’s Class A units. In particular, the market price of our common shares has been further adversely impacted since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors include:
our financial condition and performance;
the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults;
actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;
our dividend policy;
the reputation of REITs and real estate investments generally and the attractiveness of REIT equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, and fixed income securities;
uncertainty and volatility in the equity and credit markets;
fluctuations in interest rates;
changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs;
failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates;
speculation in the press or investment community;
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
the extent of institutional investor interest in us;
the extent of short-selling of Vornado common shares and the shares of our competitors;
fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors;
20


general financial and economic market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for office REITs and other real estate related companies and the New York City real estate market;
domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance;
changes in tax laws and rules; and
all other risk factors addressed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
A significant decline in Vornado’s stock price could result in substantial losses for our equity holders.
Vornado has many shares available for future sale, which could hurt the market price of its shares and the redemption price of the Operating Partnership’s units.
The interests of equity holders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities. As of December 31, 2021, Vornado had authorized but unissued 58,276,392 common shares of beneficial interest, $.04 par value, and 58,387,098 preferred shares of beneficial interest, no par value; of which 20,859,593 common shares are reserved for issuance upon redemption of Class A Operating Partnership units, convertible securities and employee stock options and 11,200,000 preferred shares are reserved for issuance upon redemption of preferred Operating Partnership units. Any shares not reserved may be issued from time to time in public or private offerings or in connection with acquisitions. In addition, common and preferred shares reserved may be sold upon issuance in the public market after registration under the Securities Act or under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or other available exemptions from registration. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of Vornado’s common and preferred shares or Operating Partnership Class A and preferred units will have on the market prices of our securities.
 In addition, under Maryland law, Vornado’s Board of Trustees has the authority to increase the number of authorized shares without shareholder approval.
Loss of our key personnel could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares and Operating Partnership Class A units.
We are dependent on the efforts of Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado. While we believe that we could find a replacement for him and other key personnel, the loss of their services could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our securities.
RISKS RELATED TO REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Vornado may fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT and may be required to pay federal income taxes at corporate rates, which could adversely impact the value of our common shares.
Although we believe that Vornado will remain organized and will continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, Vornado may fail to remain so qualified. Qualifications are governed by highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and depend on various facts and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may significantly change the relevant tax laws and/or the federal income tax consequences of qualifying as a REIT. If, with respect to any taxable year, Vornado fails to maintain its qualification as a REIT and does not qualify under statutory relief provisions, Vornado could not deduct distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income and would have to pay federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. The federal income tax payable would include any applicable alternative minimum tax. If Vornado had to pay federal income tax, the amount of money available to distribute to equity holders and pay its indebtedness would be reduced for the year or years involved, and Vornado would not be required to make distributions to shareholders in that taxable year and in future years until it was able to qualify as a REIT and did so. In addition, Vornado would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless Vornado were entitled to relief under the relevant statutory provisions. Our failure to qualify as a REIT could impact our ability to expand our business and raise capital and adversely affect the value of our common shares.
We may face possible adverse federal tax audits and changes in federal tax laws, which may result in an increase in our tax liability.
In the normal course of business, certain entities through which we own real estate either have undergone or may undergo tax audits. Although we believe that we have substantial arguments in favor of our positions, in some instances there is no controlling precedent or interpretive guidance. There can be no assurance that audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
    At any time, the U.S. federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended. We cannot predict if or when any new U.S. federal income tax law, regulation, or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing U.S. federal income tax law, Treasury regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective and any such law, regulation, or interpretation may take effect retroactively. Vornado, its taxable REIT subsidiaries, and our security holders could be adversely affected by any such change in, or any new, U.S. federal income tax law, Treasury regulation or administrative interpretation.

21


We may face possible adverse state and local tax audits and changes in state and local tax law.
Because Vornado is organized and qualifies as a REIT, it is generally not subject to federal income taxes, but we are subject to certain state and local taxes. In the normal course of business, certain entities through which we own real estate either have undergone, or are currently undergoing, tax audits. Although we believe that we have substantial arguments in favor of our positions in the ongoing audits, in some instances there is no controlling precedent or interpretive guidance on the specific point at issue. There can be no assurance that audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
From time to time changes in state and local tax laws or regulations are enacted, which may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of such changes including changes in laws, regulations and administration of property and transfer taxes. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income. These increased tax costs could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends and distributions to our security holders.
Compliance or failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") or other safety regulations and requirements could result in substantial costs.
ADA generally requires that public buildings, including our properties, meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the Federal government or the award of damages to private litigants and/or legal fees to their counsel. From time to time persons have asserted claims against us with respect to some of our properties under the ADA, but to date such claims have not resulted in any material expense or liability. If, under the ADA, we are required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of our properties, including the removal of access barriers, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the amount of cash available for distribution to equity holders.
Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures that will affect our cash flow and results of operations.
We may incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and environmental contamination may impair our ability to lease and/or sell real estate.
Our operations and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment, including air and water quality, hazardous or toxic substances and health and safety. Under some environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances released at a property. The owner or operator may also be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by those parties because of the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of the release of the substances or caused the release. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may also impair our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Other laws and regulations govern indoor and outdoor air quality including those that can require the abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of damage, demolition, renovation or remodeling and govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. The maintenance and removal of lead paint and certain electrical equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are also regulated by federal and state laws. We are also subject to risks associated with human exposure to chemical or biological contaminants such as molds, pollens, viruses and bacteria which, above certain levels, can be alleged to be connected to allergic or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. Our predecessor companies may be subject to similar liabilities for activities of those companies in the past. We could incur fines for environmental compliance and be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to the foregoing regulated substances or related claims arising out of environmental contamination or human exposure to contamination at or from our properties.
 Each of our properties has been subject to varying degrees of environmental assessment. To date, these environmental assessments have not revealed any environmental condition material to our business. However, identification of new compliance concerns or undiscovered areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, human exposure to contamination or changes in clean-up or compliance requirements could result in significant costs to us.

GENERAL RISKS
The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cyber security, as well as other disruptions of our IT networks and related systems, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships or reputation, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.
We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, ransomware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons who access our systems from inside or outside our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Although we have not experienced cyber incidents that are individually, or in the aggregate, material, we have experienced cyber attacks in the past, which have thus far been mitigated by preventative, detective, and responsive measures that we have put in place. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations (including managing our building systems) and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Unauthorized parties, whether within or outside our company, may disrupt or gain access to our systems, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through human error, misfeasance, fraud, trickery, or other forms of deceit, including break-ins, use of stolen credentials, social engineering, phishing, computer viruses or other malicious codes, and similar means of unauthorized and destructive tampering. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed to not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.
A security breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants; result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or which could expose us to damage claims by third-parties for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes; result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space; require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result; may require payments to the attackers; subject us to litigation claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, fines, penalties, governmental investigations and enforcement actions or termination of leases or other agreements; or damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally. Any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
A cyber attack or systems failure could interfere with our ability to comply with financial reporting requirements, which could adversely affect us. A cyber attack could also compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants, customers and vendors. A successful attack could disrupt and materially affect our business operations, including damaging relationships with tenants, customers and vendors. Any compromise of our information security systems could also result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, loss or misuse of the information (which may be confidential, proprietary and/or commercially sensitive in nature) and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could harm our business.
Competition for acquisitions may reduce the number of acquisition opportunities available to us and increase the costs of those acquisitions.
We may acquire properties when we are presented with attractive opportunities. We may face competition for acquisition opportunities from other well-capitalized investors, including publicly traded and privately held REITs, private real estate funds, domestic and foreign financial institutions, life insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, pension trusts, partnerships and individual investors, which may adversely affect us because that competition may cause an increase in the purchase price for a desired acquisition property or result in a competitor acquiring the desired property instead of us.
If we are unable to successfully acquire additional properties, our ability to grow our business could be adversely affected. In addition, increases in the cost of acquisition opportunities could adversely affect our results of operations.
We may be adversely affected by the discontinuation of London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").
On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") announced that USD LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. The Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") has been identified by market participants as the preferred alternative to USD LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. Our new floating rate loans entered into after December 31, 2021 no longer reference to LIBOR rates and instead reference to SOFR or another floating rate.
As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $6.7 billion of consolidated outstanding debt indexed to LIBOR. $2.2 billion of this debt is subject to interest rate swaps that convert the floating rates to a fixed interest rate. In the transition from the use of LIBOR
23


to SOFR or other alternatives, the level of interest payments we incur may change. In addition, although certain of our LIBOR based obligations provide for alternative methods of calculating the interest rate payable (including transition to an alternative benchmark rate) if LIBOR is not reported and we have been entering into amendments to certain of our financing agreements to provide for alternative benchmark rates if LIBOR is discontinued, uncertainty as to the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher than or lower than or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the interest rates and/or payments that would have been made on our obligations if LIBOR was available in its current form. Use of alternative interest rates or other LIBOR reforms could result in increased volatility or a tightening of credit markets which could adversely affect our ability to obtain cost-effective financing. In addition, the transition of our existing LIBOR financing agreements to alternative benchmarks may result in unanticipated changes to the overall interest rate paid on our liabilities.
Some of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance.
For our properties, we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which $250,000,000 includes communicable disease coverage, and we maintain all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake, excluding communicable disease coverage. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $350,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for certified terrorism acts with limits of $6.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate (as listed below), $1.2 billion for non-certified acts of terrorism, and $5.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended to date and which has been extended through December 2027.
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 NBCR acts. 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. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,785,910 and 20% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism and other events. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for uninsured losses and for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, 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 or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.

ITEM 5.     MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Vornado Realty Trust
Vornado’s common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNO.”
As of February 1, 2022, there were 830 holders of record of Vornado common shares.
Vornado Realty L.P.
There is no established trading market for the Operating Partnership's Class A units. Class A units that are not held by Vornado may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unit holder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder.
As of February 1, 2022, there were 882 Class A unitholders of record.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During 2021, we issued 838,982 Class A units in connection with (i) the issuance of Vornado common shares and (ii) the exercise of awards pursuant to Vornado's omnibus share plan, including grants of restricted Vornado common shares and restricted units of the Operating Partnership and upon conversion, surrender or exchange of the Operating Partnership’s units or Vornado stock options. The consideration received included $898,703 in cash proceeds. Such units were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
From time to time, in connection with equity awards granted under our Omnibus Share Plan, we may withhold common shares for tax purposes or acquire common shares as part of the payment of the exercise price. Although we treat these as repurchases for certain financial statement purposes, these withheld or acquired shares are not considered by us as repurchases for this purpose.
Information relating to compensation plans under which Vornado’s equity securities are authorized for issuance is set forth under Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and such information is incorporated by reference herein.

Introduction
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included under Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") within this section is focused on the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, including year-to-year comparisons between these years. Our MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2019, including year-to-year comparisons between 2020 and 2019, can be found in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Overview
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”). Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders are dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of and owned approximately 92.6% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2021. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
We own and operate office and retail properties with a concentration in the New York City metropolitan area. In addition, we have a 32.4% interest in Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX), which owns six properties in the greater New York metropolitan area, as well as interests in other real estate and investments.
Our business objective is to maximize Vornado shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to our shareholders. Below is a table comparing Vornado’s performance to the FTSE NAREIT Office Index (“Office REIT”) and the MSCI US REIT Index (“MSCI”) for the following periods ended December 31, 2021:

maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;
investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City, 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;
developing and redeveloping 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 and 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 investors, property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, 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 global, 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, population and employment trends. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A for additional information regarding these factors.

Overview - continued
Our business has been adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the preventive measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. The pandemic has resulted in governments and other authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and business closures. Some of the effects on us include the following:
While many of the limitations and restrictions imposed on our retail tenants during the onset of the pandemic have been lifted and/or eased, economic conditions and other factors, including a decline in Manhattan tourism since the onset of the virus, continue to adversely affect the financial health of our retail tenants.
While our buildings are open, many of our office tenants are working remotely.
We temporarily closed the Hotel Pennsylvania on April 1, 2020 and on April 5, 2021, we permanently closed the hotel and plan to develop an office tower on the site.
Trade shows at theMART were cancelled beginning March of 2020 and resumed in the third quarter of 2021 with generally lower attendance than pre-pandemic levels.
The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including vaccination rates among the population, the efficacy and durability of vaccines against emerging variants and governmental and tenant responses thereto, all of which are uncertain at this time. Given the dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows but the impact could be material.

One Park Avenue
On August 5, 2021, pursuant to a right of first offer, we increased our ownership interest in One Park Avenue, a 944,000 square foot Manhattan office building, to 100.0% by acquiring our joint venture partner's 45.0% ownership interest in the property. The purchase price values the property at $875,000,000. We paid approximately $158,000,000 in cash and assumed our joint venture partner's share of the $525,000,000 mortgage loan. We previously accounted for our investment under the equity method and have consolidated the accounts of the property from the date of acquisition of the additional 45.0% ownership interest.

Financings
Secured Debt
On February 26, 2021, the joint venture completed a $525,000,000 refinancing of One Park Avenue. The interest-only loan bears a rate of LIBOR plus 1.11% (1.22% as of December 31, 2021) and matures in March 2023, with three one-year extension options (March 2026, as fully extended). We realized our $105,000,000 share of net proceeds. The loan replaced the previous $300,000,000 loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% and was scheduled to mature in March 2021.
On March 7, 2021, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for our $500,000,000 PENN 11 mortgage loan to swap the interest rate on the mortgage loan from LIBOR plus 2.75% to a fixed rate of 3.03% through March 2024. On December 1, 2021, we completed a loan modification which reduced the interest rate on the mortgage loan to LIBOR plus 1.95% (2.05% as of December 31, 2021) from LIBOR plus 2.75%, resulting in a fixed rate of 2.23% pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement.
On March 26, 2021, we completed a $350,000,000 refinancing of 909 Third Avenue, a 1.4 million square foot Manhattan office building. The interest-only loan bears a fixed rate of 3.23% and matures in April 2031. The loan replaced the previous $350,000,000 loan that bore interest at a fixed rate of 3.91% and was scheduled to mature in May 2021.
On May 10, 2021, we completed a $1.2 billion refinancing of 555 California Street, a three-building 1.8 million square foot office campus in San Francisco, in which we own a 70.0% controlling interest. The interest-only loan bears a rate of LIBOR plus 1.93% in years one through five (2.04% as of December 31, 2021), LIBOR plus 2.18% in year six and LIBOR plus 2.43% in year seven. The loan matures in May 2023, with five one-year extension options (May 2028 as fully extended). We swapped the interest rate on our $840,000,000 share of the loan to a fixed rate of 2.26% through May 2024. The loan replaced the previous $533,000,000 loan that bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.10% and was scheduled to mature in September 2021.
On May 28, 2021, we repaid the $675,000,000 mortgage loan on theMART, a 3.7 million square foot commercial building in Chicago, with proceeds from our senior unsecured notes offering. The loan bore interest at 2.70% and was scheduled to mature in September 2021.
On November 16, 2021, we completed a $950,000,000 refinancing of 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a 2.1 million square foot Class A Manhattan office building, in which we own a 70.0% controlling interest. The interest-only loan bears a rate of LIBOR plus 1.51% (1.62% as of December 31, 2021) in years one to five, increasing 0.25% in both years six and seven. The loan matures in November 2023 with five one-year extension options (November 2028 as fully extended). We defeased the existing $950,000,000 loan that bore interest at a fixed rate of 3.34% and was scheduled to mature in November 2022.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 15, 2021, we extended our $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility from January 2023 (as fully extended) to April 2026 (as fully extended). The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered to LIBOR plus 0.90% from LIBOR plus 1.00%. We subsequently qualified for a sustainability margin adjustment by achieving certain key performance indicator (KPI) metrics, which reduced our interest rate by 0.01% to LIBOR plus 0.89%. The facility fee remains at 20 basis points. Our separate $1.50 billion unsecured revolving credit facility matures in March 2024 (as fully extended) and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.90% and a facility fee of 20 basis points.

Vornado received aggregate net proceeds of $291,153,000, after underwriters' discount and issuance costs, and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 12,000,000 4.45% Series O preferred units (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series O preferred shares). Dividends on the Series O preferred shares/units are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Series O preferred shares/units 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), Vornado may redeem the Series O preferred shares/units at a redemption price of $25.00 per share/unit, plus accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions through the date of redemption. The Series O preferred shares/units have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by Vornado. Vornado used the net proceeds for the redemption of its 5.70% Series K cumulative redeemable preferred shares/units.
On October 13, 2021, we redeemed all of the outstanding 5.70% Series K preferred shares/units at their redemption price of $25.00 per share/unit, or $300,000,000 in the aggregate, plus accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions through the date of redemption. We recognized $9,033,000 of previously capitalized issuance costs in "Series K preferred share/unit issuance costs" on our consolidated statements of income during the third quarter of 2021, when the preferred shares/units were called for redemption.

Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements we have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accounting estimates are deemed critical if they involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Below is a summary of the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A discussion of our accounting policies is included in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Acquisitions of Real Estate
Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess whether the transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or as a business combination. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Our acquisitions of real estate generally will not meet the definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings, and related identified intangible assets).
We assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired liabilities and we allocate the purchase price on a relative fair value basis. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections based on a number of factors such as historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions and make key assumptions regarding the discount and capitalization rates used in our analyses. The use of different assumptions to value the acquired properties and allocate value between land and building could affect the revenues recognized over the terms of the leases at our properties and the expenses recognized over the property's estimated remaining useful life on our consolidated statements of income.
Impairment Analyses for Investments in Real Estate and Unconsolidated Partially Owned Entities
Our investments in consolidated properties, including any related right-of-use assets and intangible assets, and unconsolidated partially owned entities are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment analyses are based on current plans, intended holding periods, ability to hold, and available information at the time the analyses are prepared. Assessing impairment can be complex and involves a high degree of subjectivity in determining if impairment indicators are present and in estimating the future undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of an asset. In particular, these estimates are sensitive to significant assumptions, including the estimation of future rental revenues, operating expenses, discount and capitalization rates and our intent and ability to hold the related asset, all of which could be affected by our expectations about future market or economic conditions. These estimates can have a significant impact on the undiscounted cash flows or estimated fair value of an asset and could thereby affect the value of our real estate investments on our consolidated balance sheets as well as any potential impairment losses recognized on our consolidated statements of income.
Collectability Assessments for Revenue Recognition
We evaluate on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect substantially all amounts due from our tenants and recognize changes in the collectability assessment of our operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectability of tenant receivables and considers payment history, current credit status, publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant, the impact of COVID-19 on tenants' businesses, and other factors. Our assessment of the collectability of tenant receivables can have a significant impact on the rental revenue recognized in our consolidated statements of income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion concerning recent accounting pronouncements.

NOI At Share by Segment for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
NOI at share represents total revenues less operating expenses including our share of partially owned entities. NOI at share - cash basis represents NOI at share adjusted to exclude straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net and other non-cash adjustments. We consider NOI at share - cash basis to be the primary non-GAAP financial 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 NOI at share - cash basis, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. NOI at share - cash basis includes rent that has been deferred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This increase was primarily due to (i) $23,729,000 of defeasance costs, of which $7,119,000 is attributable to noncontrolling interest, in connection with the refinancing of 1290 Avenue of the Americas partially offset by, (ii) $10,941,000 of lower interest expense due to variable rates on certain mortgage loans that were previously swapped to higher fixed rates under interest rate swap arrangements that expired in 2020, and (iii) $9,387,000 of lower interest expense resulting from lower average interest rates on our variable rate loans.
Net Gains on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets

Net (Income) Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries was $24,014,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net loss of $139,894,000 in the prior year, an increase in income of $163,908,000. This resulted primarily from a decrease in net loss allocated to the noncontrolling interests of our real estate fund investments.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $7,540,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net loss of $24,946,000 in the prior year, an increase in income of $32,486,000.

This was primarily due to the issuance of the 5.25% Series N cumulative redeemable preferred shares in November 2020 and the 4.45% Series O cumulative redeemable preferred shares in September 2021, partially offset by the redemption of the 5.70% Series K cumulative redeemable preferred shares in October 2021.

Preferred unit distributions were $66,035,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $51,904,000 in the prior year, an increase of $14,131,000. This was primarily due to the issuance of the 5.25% Series N cumulative redeemable preferred units in November 2020 and the 4.45% Series O cumulative redeemable preferred units in September 2021, partially offset by the redemption of the 5.70% Series K cumulative redeemable preferred units in October 2021.
Preferred Share/Unit Issuance Costs
Preferred share/unit issuance costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $9,033,000 representing the previously capitalized issuance costs which were expensed upon calling for redemption of all the outstanding Series K cumulative redeemable preferred shares/units in September 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, debt service, leasing commissions, dividends to our shareholders and distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development and redevelopment costs. The sources of liquidity to fund these cash requirements include rental revenue, which is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties; proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, unsecured term loans and unsecured revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales.
As of December 31, 2021, we have $4.1 billion of liquidity comprised of $1.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $2.2 billion available on our $2.75 billion revolving credit facilities. The on-going challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our cash flow from continuing operations but we anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months together with cash balances on hand will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to our shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures. Capital requirements for development and redevelopment expenditures and acquisitions may require funding from borrowings, equity offerings and/or asset sales.
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.
Summary of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash was $1,930,351,000 at December 31, 2021, a $199,982,000 increase from the balance at December 31, 2020.
Our cash flow activities for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are summarized as follows:
(Amounts in thousands) For the Year Ended December 31, Increase (Decrease) in Cash Flow

Net cash used in financing activities (29,477) (213,202) 183,725 
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from rental revenues and operating distributions from our non-consolidated partially owned entities less cash outflows for property expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities of $761,806,000 was comprised of $758,260,000 of cash from operations, including distributions of income from partially owned entities of $214,521,000 and return of capital from real estate fund investments of $5,104,000, and a net increase of $3,546,000 in cash due to the timing of cash receipts and payments related to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Dividends
On January 19, 2022, Vornado declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.53 per share (an indicated annual rate of $2.12 per common share). This dividend, if declared by the Board of Trustees for all of 2022, would require Vornado to pay out approximately $406,000,000 of cash for common share dividends. In addition, during 2022, Vornado expects to pay approximately $62,000,000 of cash dividends on outstanding preferred shares and approximately $30,000,000 of cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership.
Debt
We have an effective shelf registration for the offering of our equity and debt securities that is not limited in amount due to our status as a “well-known seasoned issuer.” We have issued senior unsecured notes from a shelf registration statement that contain financial covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt, and that require us to maintain a level of unencumbered assets based on the level of our secured debt. Our unsecured revolving 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 unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal. As of December 31, 2021, we are in compliance with all of the financial covenants required by our senior unsecured notes and our unsecured revolving credit facilities.
A summary of our consolidated debt as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 is presented below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - continued
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures consist of expenditures to maintain and improve assets, tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions. During 2022, we expect to incur $275,000,000 of capital expenditures for our consolidated properties. We plan to fund these capital expenditures from operating cash flow, existing liquidity, and/or borrowings. Our partially owned non-consolidated subsidiaries typically fund their capital expenditures without any additional equity contribution from us.
Development and Redevelopment Expenditures
Development and redevelopment expenditures consist of all hard and soft costs associated with the development and redevelopment of a property. We plan to fund these development and redevelopment expenditures from operating cash flow, existing liquidity, and/or borrowings. See detailed discussion below for our current development and redevelopment projects.
PENN District
Farley
Our 95% joint venture (5% is owned by the Related Companies ("Related")) is developing Farley Office and Retail, which will include approximately 845,000 rentable square feet of commercial space, comprised of approximately 730,000 square feet of office space and approximately 115,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. The total development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $1,120,000,000 at our 95% share, of which $896,186,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2021.
PENN 1
We are redeveloping PENN 1, a 2,547,000 square foot office building located on 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenue. In December 2020, we entered into an agreement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) to oversee the redevelopment of the Long Island Rail Road Concourse at Penn Station (the "Concourse"), within the footprint of PENN 1. Skanska USA Civil Northeast, Inc. will perform the redevelopment under a fixed price contract for $380,000,000 which is being funded by the MTA. In connection with the redevelopment, we entered into an agreement with the MTA which will result in the widening of the Concourse to relieve overcrowding and our trading of 15,000 square feet of back of house space for 22,000 square feet of retail frontage space. Vornado's total development cost for the PENN 1 project is estimated to be $450,000,000. As of December 31, 2021, $309,437,000 of cash has been expended.
PENN 2
We are redeveloping PENN 2, a 1,795,000 square foot (as expanded) office building, located on the west side of Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Street. The development cost of this project is estimated to be $750,000,000, of which $161,066,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2021.
PENN 15 (Hotel Pennsylvania Site)
We have permanently closed the Hotel Pennsylvania and plan to develop an office tower on the site. Demolition of the existing building structure commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021.
We are also making districtwide improvements within the PENN District. The development cost of these improvements is estimated to be $100,000,000, of which $31,481,000 of cash has been expended as of December 31, 2021.
We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan including, in particular, the PENN District.
There can be no assurance that the above projects will be completed, completed on schedule or within budget.
Other Obligations
We have contractual cash obligations for certain properties that are subject to long-term ground and building leases. During 2022, $36,044,000 of lease payments are due, including fair market rent resets accounted for as variable rent, under our operating leases. For 2023 and thereafter, we have $1,303,520,000 of future lease payments. We believe that our operating cash flow will be adequate to fund these lease payments.

Insurance
For our properties, we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which $250,000,000 includes communicable disease coverage, and we maintain all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake, excluding communicable disease coverage. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $350,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for certified terrorism acts with limits of $6.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate (as listed below), $1.2 billion for non-certified acts of terrorism, and $5.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended to date and which has been extended through December 2027.
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 NBCR acts. 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. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,785,910 and 20% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.
Certain condominiums in which we own an interest (including our leasehold interest in the Farley Condominiums) own insurance policies with different per occurrence and aggregate limits than our policies described above.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism and other events. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for uninsured losses and for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, 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 or refinance 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 currently 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. 
In July 2018, we leased 78,000 square feet at 345 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, CA, to a subsidiary of Regus PLC, for an initial term of 15 years. The obligations under the lease were guaranteed by Regus PLC in an amount of up to $90,000,000. The tenant purported to terminate the lease prior to space delivery. We commenced a suit on October 23, 2019 seeking to enforce the lease and the guaranty. On May 11, 2021, the court issued a final statement of decision in our favor and on July 7, 2021, the Regus subsidiary appealed the decision. On October 9, 2020, the successor to Regus PLC filed for bankruptcy in Luxembourg. We are actively pursuing claims relating to the guaranty against the successor to Regus PLC and its parent in Luxembourg and other jurisdictions.
In November 2011, we entered into an agreement with the New York City Economic Development Corporation ("EDC") to lease Piers 92 and 94 (the "Piers"). In February 2019, EDC issued an order for us to vacate Pier 92 due to structural problems. Beginning March 2020 through August 2021, we did not pay EDC the monthly rent due under the non-recourse lease due to the loss of our right to use or occupy Pier 92. On August 31, 2021, both parties entered into a mutual release with respect to claims by EDC for unpaid rent owed and claims by the Company for costs and damages as a result of our inability to use or occupy Pier 92.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - continued
Other Commitments and Contingencies - continued
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for the mortgage loans secured by 640 Fifth Avenue, 7 West 34th Street and 435 Seventh Avenue, which we guaranteed and therefore are part of our tax basis. 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. In addition, we have guaranteed the rent and payments in lieu of real estate taxes due to ESD, an entity of New York State, for Farley Office and Retail. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $1,648,000,000. 
As of December 31, 2021, $15,273,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving 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 unsecured revolving 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.
Our 95% consolidated joint venture (5% is owned by Related) is developing Farley Office and Retail. In connection with the development of the property, the joint venture admitted a historic tax credit investor partner (the "Tax Credit Investor"). Under the terms of the historic tax credit arrangement, the joint venture is required to comply with various laws, regulations, and contractual provisions. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, may require a refund or reduction of the Tax Credit Investor’s capital contributions. As of December 31, 2021, the Tax Credit Investor has made $92,400,000 in capital contributions. Vornado and Related have guaranteed certain of the joint venture’s obligations to the Tax Credit Investor.
As investment manager of the Fund we are entitled to an incentive allocation after the limited partners have received a preferred return on their invested capital. The incentive allocation is subject to catch-up and clawback provisions. Accordingly, based on the December 31, 2021 fair value of the Fund assets, at liquidation we would be required to make a $27,100,000 payment to the limited partners, net of amounts owed to us, representing a clawback of previously paid incentive allocations, which would have no income statement impact as it was previously accrued.
As of December 31, 2021, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $10,300,000.
As of December 31, 2021, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $494,000,000.

Funds From Operations
Vornado Realty Trust
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 gains from sales of certain real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures 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 flow 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 Note 18 – Income (Loss) Per Share/Income (Loss) Per Class A Unit, in our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $571,074,000, or $2.97 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $750,522,000, or $3.93 per diluted share, for the prior year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vornado Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 14, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Real Estate Recoverability Assessment — Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s wholly owned properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. The recoverability assessment is determined based on projected future cash flows that utilize capitalization rates and available market information. The Company’s undiscounted cash flows requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future market rental rates and capitalization rates.
We identified the recoverability assessment of wholly owned properties as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions related to future market rental rates and capitalization rates. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, where applicable.

61


How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the recoverability assessment of wholly owned properties included the following, among other things:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of recoverability of its wholly owned properties, including those over future market rental rates and capitalization rates used in the assessment.
We evaluated the reasonableness of future market rental rates and capitalization rates used by management with independent market data, focusing on geographical location and property. In addition, we developed ranges of independent estimates of future market rental rates and capitalization rates and compared those to the amounts used by management.
We involved our fair value specialists in providing comparable market transaction details to further support the future market rental rate and capitalization rate assumptions, as applicable.
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s projected future cash flows by comparing management’s projections to the Company’s historical results.
We evaluated whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Partners
Vornado Realty L.P.
New York, New York
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vornado Realty L.P. and subsidiaries (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 14, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the US federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Real Estate Recoverability Assessment — Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description

The Partnership’s wholly owned properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. The recoverability assessment is determined based on projected future cash flows that utilize capitalization rates and available market information. The Partnership’s undiscounted cash flows requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future market rental rates and capitalization rates.
We identified the recoverability assessment of wholly owned properties as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions related to future market rental rates and capitalization rates. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, where applicable.


72


How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the recoverability assessment of wholly owned properties included the following, among other things:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of recoverability of its wholly owned properties, including those over future market rental rates and capitalization rates used in the assessment.
We evaluated the reasonableness of future market rental rates and capitalization rates used by management with independent market data, focusing on geographical location and property. In addition, we developed ranges of independent estimates of future market rental rates and capitalization rates and compared those to the amounts used by management.
We involved our fair value specialists in providing comparable market transaction details to further support the future market rental rate and capitalization rate assumptions, as applicable.
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s projected future cash flows by comparing management’s projections to the Partnership’s historical results.
We evaluated whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    Organization and Business
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”). Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders are dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of and owned approximately 92.6% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2021. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean, collectively, Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.
We currently own all or portions of: 
New York: 
67 Manhattan operating properties consisting of:

Other real estate and investments.
2.     Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company amounts have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Literature
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update ("ASU 2020-04") establishing Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We have elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
In August 2020, the FASB issued an update ("ASU 2020-06") Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2.     Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Recently Issued Accounting Literature - continued
In July 2021, the FASB issued an update ("ASU 2021-05") Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments to ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). ASU 2021-05 provides additional ASC 842 classification guidance as it relates to a lessor's accounting for certain leases with variable lease payments. ASU 2021-05 requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease if either a sales-type lease or direct financing lease classification would trigger a day-one loss. ASU 2021-05 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2021-05 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
Real Estate: Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renewals and certain costs directly related to the improvement and leasing of real estate are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. For redevelopment of existing operating properties, the net book value of the existing property under redevelopment plus the cost for the construction and improvements incurred in connection with the redevelopment, including interest and debt expense, are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the redeveloped property when complete. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the net book value of the existing property, exceeds the estimated fair value of the redeveloped property, the excess is charged to expense. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of these assets which range from 7 to 40 years. Tenant allowances are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets.
Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess whether the transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or as a business combination. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Our acquisitions of real estate generally will not meet the definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings, and related identified intangible assets).
We assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired liabilities and we allocate the purchase price based on these assessments which are on a relative fair value basis. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired.
Our properties, including any related right-of-use ("ROU") assets and intangible assets, are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Estimates of future cash flows are subjective and are based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, capitalization rates and discount rates that could differ materially from actual results.

Partially Owned Entities: We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider (i) whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary or (ii) whether the entity is a voting interest entity in which we have a majority of the voting interests of the entity. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We generally do not control a partially owned entity if the approval of all of the partners/members is contractually required with respect to decisions that most significantly impact the performance of the partially owned entity. This includes decisions regarding operating/capital budgets, and the placement of new or additional financing secured by the assets of the venture, among others. We account for investments under the equity method when the requirements for consolidation are not met, and we have significant influence over the operations of the investee. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. Investments that do not qualify for consolidation or equity method accounting are accounted for under the cost method.
Investments in unconsolidated partially owned entities are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when there is a decline in the fair value below the carrying value and we conclude such decline is other-than-temporary. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on current plans, intended holding periods, ability to hold, and available information at the time the analyses are prepared.
220 Central Park South Condominium Units Ready For Sale: Our 220 Central Park South ("220 CPS") residential condominium units are reclassified from "development costs and construction in progress" to "220 Central Park South condominium units ready for sale" upon receipt of the unit's temporary certificate of occupancy. These units are substantially complete and ready for sale. Each unit is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. We have used the relative sales value method to allocate costs to individual condominium units. GAAP income is recognized when legal title transfers upon closing of the condominium unit sales and is included in "net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets" on our consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, none of the 220 CPS condominium units ready for sale had a carrying value that exceeded fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents consists of (i) deposits at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit, (ii) United States Treasury Bills, and (iii) Certificate of Deposits placed through an Account Registry Service. 
Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of security deposits, cash restricted for the purposes of facilitating a Section 1031 Like-Kind exchange, cash restricted in connection with our deferred compensation plan and cash escrowed under loan agreements, including for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements.
Deferred Charges: Direct financing costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related agreements as a component of interest expense. Direct and incremental costs related to successful leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases. All other deferred charges are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreements to which they relate.

Revenue Recognition:
Rental revenues include revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants, revenues from the Hotel Pennsylvania (permanently closed on April 5, 2021), trade shows, tenant services and parking garage revenues.
Revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants includes (i) lease components, including fixed and variable lease payments, and nonlease components which include reimbursement of common area maintenance expenses, and (ii) reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance expenses. As lessor, we have elected to combine the lease and nonlease components of our operating lease agreements and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC 842.
Revenues from fixed lease payments for operating leases in our portfolio are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease, together with renewal options that are reasonably certain of being exercised. We commence revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use.
Revenue derived from the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance expenses and common area maintenance expenses are generally recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred.
We recognize amortization of acquired below-market leases as an increase to rental revenues and amortization of acquired above-market leases as a decrease to rental revenues over the term of the lease (see Note 8 - Identified Intangible Assets and Liabilities).
Hotel revenues arising from the operation of Hotel Pennsylvania, which we permanently closed on April 5, 2021, consists of room revenue, food and beverage revenue, and banquet revenue. Room revenues are recognized when the rooms are made available for the guest, in accordance with ASC 842.
Trade shows revenues arising from the operation of trade shows is primarily booth rentals. These revenues are recognized upon the occurrence of the trade shows when the trade show booths are made available for use by the exhibitors, in accordance with ASC 842.
Tenant services revenues arises from sub-metered electric, elevator, trash removal and other services provided to tenants at their request. These revenues are recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606").
Parking garage revenues arise from the operations of our parking facilities which charge a hourly or monthly fee to provide parking services. These revenues are recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC 606.
Fee and other income includes management, leasing and other revenue arising from contractual agreements with third parties or with partially owned entities and includes BMS cleaning, engineering and security services. This revenue is recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC 606.
We evaluate on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect substantially all amounts due from our tenants and recognize changes in the collectability assessment of our operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectability of tenant receivables and considers payment history, current credit status and publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant, the impact of COVID-19 on tenants' businesses, and other factors. Tenant receivables, including receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written off when management deems that the collectability of substantially all future lease payments from a specific lease is not probable of collection, at which point, the Company will limit future rental revenues to cash received.
We have made a policy election in accordance with the FASB Staff Q&A which provides relief in accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing us to continue recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis for rent deferrals, with no impact to revenue recognition, and to recognize rent abatements as a reduction to rental revenue in the period granted.

Income Taxes: Vornado operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856‑860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Vornado distributes to its shareholders 100% of its REIT taxable income and therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2021, were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as 84.2% ordinary income under Section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code and 15.8% qualified dividend income (taxed as long-term capital gain). Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2020, were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as ordinary income. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2019, were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as 62.1% ordinary income and 37.9% long-term capital gain.
 We have elected to treat certain consolidated subsidiaries, and may in the future elect to treat newly formed subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries pursuant to an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code that became effective January 1, 2001. Taxable REIT subsidiaries may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to Federal and State income tax at regular corporate tax rates. Farley Office and Retail, our 220 CPS condominium project and the operations of Hotel Pennsylvania, prior to its closure, are held through taxable REIT subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, of $8,582,000 and $15,017,000, respectively, and are included in “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax liabilities of $40,591,000 and $29,348,000, respectively, which are included in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to net operating loss carry forwards and temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized $10,496,000 of income tax benefit based on an effective tax rate of approximately (5.3)%. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $36,630,000 and $103,439,000 of income tax expense, respectively, based on effective tax rates of approximately (8.6)% and 3.0%, respectively. Income tax benefit (expense) recorded in each of the years primarily relates to our consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries, and certain state, local, and franchise taxes. The year ended December 31, 2021 included $27,910,000 of income tax benefit recognized by our taxable REIT subsidiaries, $10,868,000 of income tax expense resulting from book to tax differences (primarily straight-line rent adjustments and depreciation) on our investment in Farley Office and Retail and $5,711,000 of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included $49,221,000 and $101,828,000, respectively, of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The Company has no uncertain tax positions recognized as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The Operating Partnership’s partners are required to report their respective share of taxable income on their individual tax returns.
The estimated taxable income attributable to Vornado common shareholders (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $413,026,000, $419,812,000, and $917,162,000, respectively. The book to tax differences between net income (loss) and estimated taxable income primarily result from differences in the income recognition or deductibility of depreciation and amortization, gain or loss from the sale of real estate and other capital transactions, impairment losses, straight-line rent adjustments, stock option expense and repairs expense related to the tangible property regulations.
 The net basis of Vornado’s assets and liabilities for tax reporting purposes is approximately $2.6 billion lower than the amounts reported in Vornado’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

4.     Real Estate Fund Investments
    We are the general partner and investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) and own a 25.0% interest in the Fund, which had an initial eight-year term ending February 2019. On January 29, 2018, the Fund's term was extended to February 2023. The Fund's three-year investment period ended in July 2013. The Fund is accounted for under ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) 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.
    We are the general partner and investment manager of the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel Joint Venture (the “Crowne Plaza Joint Venture”) and own a 57.1% interest in the joint venture which owns the 24.3% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel not owned by the Fund. The Crowne Plaza Joint Venture is also accounted for under ASC 946 and we consolidate the accounts of the joint venture into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting. On June 9, 2020, the joint venture between the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture defaulted on the $274,355,000 non-recourse loan on the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel. The interest-only loan, which bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 3.69% (3.79% as of December 31, 2021) and provides for additional default interest of 3.00%, was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2020.
On April 12, 2021, the Fund defaulted on the $82,750,000 non-recourse loan on 1100 Lincoln Road. The interest-only loan currently bears interest at a floating rate of prime plus 1.40% (4.65% as of December 31, 2021) and provides for additional default interest of 3.00%. The loan was scheduled to mature on July 27, 2021.
On December 7, 2021, the Fund completed the sale of the retail condominium located at 501 Broadway for $27,500,000. From the inception of this investment through its disposition, the Fund realized a $6,346,000 net loss.
    As of December 31, 2021, we had three real estate fund investments through the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture with an aggregate fair value of $7,730,000, $328,055,000 below cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $28,465,000, of which our share was $8,849,000. As of December 31, 2020, we had four real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $3,739,000.

5.    Investments in Partially Owned Entities
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
As of December 31, 2021, we own a 51.5% common interest in a joint venture ("Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV") which owns interests in properties located at 640 Fifth Avenue, 655 Fifth Avenue, 666 Fifth Avenue, 689 Fifth Avenue, 697-703 Fifth Avenue, 1535 Broadway and 1540 Broadway (collectively, the "Properties"). The remaining 48.5% common interest in the joint venture is owned by a group of institutional investors (the "Investors"). Our 51.5% common interest in the joint venture represents an effective 51.0% interest in the Properties. The 48.5% common interest in the joint venture owned by the Investors represents an effective 47.2% interest in the Properties.
We also own $1.828 billion of preferred equity security interests in certain of the properties. The preferred equity has an annual coupon of 4.25% through April 2024, increasing to 4.75% for the subsequent five years and thereafter at a formulaic rate. It can be redeemed under certain conditions on a tax deferred basis.
As of December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of our investment in the joint venture was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of the joint venture by approximately $387,402,000, the basis difference primarily resulting from non-cash impairment losses recognized during 2020. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as a reduction to depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives.
Management, Development, Leasing and Other Agreements
We provide various services to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV in accordance with management, development, leasing and other agreements, as described on the following page.

We receive an annual fee for managing the Properties equal to 2% of the gross revenues from the Properties. In addition, we are entitled to a development fee of 5% of development costs, plus reimbursement of certain costs, for development projects performed by us. We are entitled to 1.5% of development costs, plus reimbursement of certain costs, as a supervisory fee for development projects not performed by us. We provide leasing services for fees calculated based on a percentage of rents, less any commissions paid to third-party real estate brokers, if applicable. We jointly provide leasing services for the retail space with Crown Retail Services LLC, and exclusively provide leasing services for the office space. We recognized property management fee income, included in "fee and other income" on our consolidated statements of income, of $4,297,000, $3,982,000 and $3,085,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
BMS, our wholly-owned subsidiary, supervises cleaning, security and engineering services at certain of the Properties. We recognized income for these services, included in "fee and other income" on our consolidated statements of income, of $3,993,000, $3,595,000 and $3,087,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
We believe, based on comparable fees charged by other real estate companies, that the fees described above are consistent with the market.
Alexander’s, Inc
As of December 31, 2021, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander’s common equity. We manage, develop and lease Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Alexander’s owed us an aggregate of $879,000 and $1,516,000, respectively, pursuant to such agreements.
On June 4, 2021, Alexander's completed the sale of a parcel of land in the Bronx, New York for $10,000,000. As a result of the sale, we recognized our $2,956,000 share of the net gain and also received a $300,000 sales commission paid by Alexander's.
On October 4, 2021, Alexander's sold its Paramus, New Jersey property to IKEA Property, Inc. ("IKEA"), the tenant at the property, for $75,000,000 pursuant to IKEA's purchase option contained in the lease. The property was encumbered by a $68,000,000 mortgage loan which was repaid at closing of the sale. As a result of the sale, we recognized our $11,620,000 share of the net gain and also received a $750,000 sales commission paid by Alexander's.
As of December 31, 2021, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820")) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s December 31, 2021 closing share price of $260.30, was $430,554,000, or $339,149,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021, 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 $30,081,000. 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.
Management, Development, Leasing and Other Agreements
We receive an annual fee for managing Alexander’s and all of its properties equal to the sum of (i) $2,800,000, (ii) 2% of the gross revenue from the Rego Park II Shopping Center, (iii) $0.50 per square foot of the tenant-occupied office and retail space at 731 Lexington Avenue, and (iv) $344,000, escalating at 3% per annum, for managing the common area of 731 Lexington Avenue. In addition, we are entitled to a development fee of 6% of development costs, as defined.

7.    Acquisitions and Dispositions
One Park Avenue
On August 5, 2021, pursuant to a right of first offer, we increased our ownership interest in One Park Avenue, a 944,000 square foot Manhattan office building, to 100.0% by acquiring our joint venture partner's 45.0% ownership interest in the property. The purchase price values the property at $875,000,000. We paid approximately $158,000,000 in cash and assumed our joint venture partner's share of the $525,000,000 mortgage loan (discussed below). We previously accounted for our investment under the equity method and have consolidated the accounts of the property from the date of acquisition of the additional 45.0% ownership interest. The aggregate purchase price and our existing basis in the property have been allocated between the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (excluding working capital accounts) as follows:
(Amounts in thousands)
Assets:
Land $ 197,057 
Building and improvements 368,956

Mortgages payable 525,000 
Deferred revenue 18,884

Net assets consolidated (excluding working capital) $ 161,674 
On February 26, 2021, the joint venture completed a $525,000,000 refinancing of One Park Avenue. The interest-only loan bears a rate of LIBOR plus 1.11% (1.22% as of December 31, 2021) and matures in March 2023, with three one-year extension options (March 2026, as fully extended). We realized our $105,000,000 share of net proceeds. The loan replaced the previous $300,000,000 loan that bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% and was scheduled to mature in March 2021.
Madison Avenue
On September 24, 2021, we sold three Manhattan retail properties located at 677-679, 759-771 and 828-850 Madison Avenue in two separate sale transactions for an aggregate sales price of $100,000,000. Net proceeds from the sales were $96,503,000. In connection with the sales, we recorded $7,880,000 of non-cash impairment losses which are included in "impairment losses, transaction related costs and other" on our consolidated statements of income.
SoHo Properties
On May 10, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell two Manhattan retail properties located at 478-482 Broadway and 155 Spring Street for a sales price of $84,500,000. On January 13, 2022, we completed the sale transaction and realized net proceeds of $81,399,000. In connection with the sale, we will recognize a net gain of approximately $850,000 in the first quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2021, $80,005,000 of assets associated with these properties were classified as held-for-sale and are included in "other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets.

9.     Debt
Secured Debt
On March 7, 2021, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement for our $500,000,000 PENN 11 mortgage loan to swap the interest rate on the mortgage loan from LIBOR plus 2.75% to a fixed rate of 3.03% through March 2024. On December 1, 2021, we completed a loan modification which reduced the interest rate on the mortgage loan to LIBOR plus 1.95% (2.05% as of December 31, 2021) from LIBOR plus 2.75%, resulting in a fixed rate of 2.23% pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement.
On March 26, 2021, we completed a $350,000,000 refinancing of 909 Third Avenue, a 1.4 million square foot Manhattan office building. The interest-only loan bears a fixed rate of 3.23% and matures in April 2031. The loan replaced the previous $350,000,000 loan that bore interest at a fixed rate of 3.91% and was scheduled to mature in May 2021.
On May 10, 2021, we completed a $1.2 billion refinancing of 555 California Street, a three-building 1.8 million square foot office campus in San Francisco, in which we own a 70.0% controlling interest. The interest-only loan bears a rate of LIBOR plus 1.93% in years one through five (2.04% as of December 31, 2021), LIBOR plus 2.18% in year six and LIBOR plus 2.43% in year seven. The loan matures in May 2023, with five one-year extension options (May 2028 as fully extended). We swapped the interest rate on our $840,000,000 share of the loan to a fixed rate of 2.26% through May 2024. The loan replaced the previous $533,000,000 loan that bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.10% and was scheduled to mature in September 2021.
On May 28, 2021, we repaid the $675,000,000 mortgage loan on theMART, a 3.7 million square foot commercial building in Chicago, with proceeds from our senior unsecured notes offering discussed below. The loan bore interest at 2.70% and was scheduled to mature in September 2021.
On November 16, 2021, we completed a $950,000,000 refinancing of 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a 2.1 million square foot Class A Manhattan office building, in which we own a 70.0% controlling interest. The interest-only loan bears a rate of LIBOR plus 1.51% (1.62% as of December 31, 2021) in years one to five, increasing 0.25% in both years six and seven. The loan matures in November 2023 with five one-year extension options (November 2028 as fully extended). We defeased the existing $950,000,000 loan that bore interest at a fixed rate of 3.34% and was scheduled to mature in November 2022. As a result, we incurred $23,729,000 of defeasance costs, which are included in "interest and debt expense" on our consolidated statements of income, of which $7,119,000 is attributable to noncontrolling interest.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 15, 2021, we extended our $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility from January 2023 (as fully extended) to April 2026 (as fully extended). The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered to LIBOR plus 0.90% from LIBOR plus 1.00%. We subsequently qualified for a sustainability margin adjustment by achieving certain key performance indicator (KPI) metrics, which reduced our interest rate by 0.01% to LIBOR plus 0.89%. The facility fee remains at 20 basis points. Our separate $1.50 billion unsecured revolving credit facility matures in March 2024 (as fully extended) and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.90% and a facility fee of 20 basis points.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On May 24, 2021, we completed a green bond public offering of $400,000,000 2.15% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2026 ("2026 Notes") and $350,000,000 3.40% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2031 ("2031 Notes"). Interest on the senior unsecured notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 2021. The 2026 Notes were sold at 99.86% of their face amount to yield 2.18% and the 2031 Notes were sold at 99.59% of their face amount to yield 3.45%.

10.     Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Redeemable Noncontrolling Partnership Units
Redeemable noncontrolling partnership units are primarily comprised of Class A Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unitholder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary
A consolidated joint venture in which we own a 95% interest is developing Farley Office and Retail (the "Project"). During 2020, a historic tax credit investor (the "Tax Credit Investor") funded $92,400,000 of capital contributions and is expected to make additional capital contributions in future periods.
The arrangement includes a put option whereby the joint venture may be obligated to purchase the Tax Credit Investor’s ownership interest in the Project at a future date. The put price is calculated based on a pre-determined formula. As exercise of the put option is outside of the joint venture’s control, the Tax Credit Investor’s interest, together with the put option, have been recorded to “redeemable noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary” on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the greater of the carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. There was no adjustment required for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, there were 14,033,438 Class A units outstanding, that were held by third parties. These units are classified outside of “partners’ capital” as “redeemable partnership units” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership (See Note 10 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests). During 2021, the Operating Partnership paid an aggregate of $406,109,000 of distributions to Vornado comprised of quarterly common distributions of $0.53 per unit.
Preferred Shares/Units
On September 22, 2021, Vornado sold 12,000,000 4.45% Series O cumulative redeemable preferred shares at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant to an effective registration statement. Vornado received aggregate net proceeds of $291,153,000, after underwriters' discount and issuance costs, and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 12,000,000 4.45% Series O preferred units (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series O preferred shares). Dividends on the Series O preferred shares/units are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Series O preferred shares/units 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), Vornado may redeem the Series O preferred shares/units at a redemption price of $25.00 per share/unit, plus accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions through the date of redemption. The Series O preferred shares/units have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed by Vornado. Vornado used the net proceeds for the redemption of its 5.70% Series K cumulative redeemable preferred shares/units.
On October 13, 2021, we redeemed all of the outstanding 5.70% Series K preferred shares/units at their redemption price of $25.00 per share/unit, or $300,000,000 in the aggregate, plus accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions through the date of redemption. We recognized $9,033,000 of previously capitalized issuance costs in "Series K preferred share/unit issuance costs" on our consolidated statements of income during the third quarter of 2021, when the preferred shares/units were called for redemption.

12.     Variable Interest Entities
Unconsolidated VIEs
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we have several unconsolidated VIEs. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method (see Note 5 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities). As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $69,435,000 and $224,754,000, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to the carrying amount of our investments.
Consolidated VIEs
Our most significant consolidated VIEs are the Operating Partnership (for Vornado), the Farley joint venture and certain properties that have non-controlling interests. These entities are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. We consolidate these entities because we control all significant business activities.
As of December 31, 2021, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,564,621,000 and $2,517,652,000 respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, were $4,053,841,000 and $1,722,719,000, respectively.

13.     Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 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 on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) real estate fund investments, (ii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheets), (iii) loans receivable for which we have elected the fair value option under ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"), (iv) interest rate swaps and (v) 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.

Real Estate Fund Investments
As of December 31, 2021, we had three real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $7,730,000, or $328,055,000 below cost. These investments are classified as Level 3. 
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, current and anticipated market conditions, 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 real estate fund investments.

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 that provide net asset values on a fair value basis from a third-party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund. The period of time over which these underlying assets are expected to be liquidated is unknown. 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.

Derivatives and Hedging
We 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. We recognize the fair values of all derivatives in "other assets" or "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedge asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Reported net income and equity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
There were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheet consisted of real estate assets that have been written down to estimated fair value for impairment purposes. The impairment losses primarily relate to wholly owned street retail assets.
Our estimate of the fair value of these assets was measured using widely accepted valuation techniques including (i) discounted cash flow analyses based upon market conditions and expectations of growth and utilized unobservable quantitative inputs, including a capitalization rate of 5.0% and discount rate of 7.0%, and (ii) comparable sales activity.

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), 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 and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loan are classified as Level 1. The fair value of our secured debt and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments.

Vornado's 2019 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan") provides the Compensation Committee of Vornado's Board of Trustees (the "Committee") the ability to grant incentive and nonqualified Vornado stock options, restricted stock, restricted Operating Partnership units ("OP units"), out-performance plan awards ("OPPs"), appreciation-only long-term incentive plan units (“AO LTIP Units”) and performance conditioned appreciation-only long-term incentive plan units ("Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units") to certain of our employees and officers. Awards may be granted up to a maximum 5,500,000 shares, if all awards granted are Full Value awards, as defined in the Plan, and up to 11,000,000 shares, if all of the awards granted are Not Full Value Awards, as defined in the Plan. Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as restricted shares, that, if all vesting requirements are met, do not require the payment of an exercise price or strike price to acquire the securities. Not Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as options, that do require the payment of an exercise price or strike price. As of December 31, 2021, Vornado has approximately 3,490,000 shares available for future grants under the Plan, if all awards granted are Full Value Awards, as defined.
We account for all equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Below is a summary of our stock-based compensation expense, a component of "general and administrative" expense on our consolidated statements of income.

OPPs are multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plans under which participants have the opportunity to earn a class of units (“OPP units”) of the Operating Partnership if, and only if, Vornado outperforms a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperforms the market with respect to a relative TSR during the three-year or four-year performance period (the “Performance Period”) as described on the following page. OPP units, if earned, become convertible into Class A units of the Operating Partnership (and ultimately into Vornado common shares) following vesting.
2021 OPP
On January 12, 2021, the Committee approved the 2021 OPP, a multi-year, $30,000,000 performance-based equity compensation plan. Awards under the 2021 OPP may potentially be earned if Vornado (i) achieves a TSR greater than 28% over a four-year performance period (the “2021 OPP Absolute Component”), and /or (ii) achieves a TSR above a benchmark weighted index (the "Index"), comprised of 80% of the constituents of the SNL US Office REIT Index at the time awards were granted, and 20% of the constituents of the SNL US Retail Index at the time awards were granted, over the Performance Period (the “2021 OPP Relative Component”).

The value of awards under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component and 2021 OPP Relative Component will be calculated separately and will each be subject to an aggregate $30,000,000 maximum award cap for all participants. The two components will be added together to determine the aggregate award size, which shall also be subject to the aggregate $30,000,000 maximum award cap for all participants. In the event awards are earned under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component, but Vornado underperforms the Index by more than 200 basis points per annum over the Performance Period (800 basis points over the four years), the amount earned under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component will be reduced based on the degree by which the Index exceeds Vornado’s TSR with the maximum payout being 50% under the 2021 OPP Absolute Component. In the event awards are earned under the 2021 OPP Relative Component, but Vornado fails to achieve a TSR of at least 2% per annum, awards earned under the 2021 OPP Relative Component will be reduced on a ratable sliding scale based on Vornado’s absolute TSR performance, with the maximum payout being 50% under the 2021 OPP Relative Component in the event Vornado’s TSR during the four-year measurement period is 0% or negative. If the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under 2021 OPP will vest 50% in year four and 50% in year five. In addition, all of Vornado’s senior executives are required to hold any earned and vested awards for one year following each such vesting date. Dividends on awards granted under the 2021 OPP accrue during the four-year performance period and are paid to participants if awards are ultimately earned based on the achievement of the designated performance objectives.

Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units
Performance Conditioned AO LTIP Units are AO LTIP Units that require the achievement of certain performance conditions by a specified date or they are forfeited. The performance-based condition is met if Vornado common shares trade at or above 110% of the grant price per share for any 20 consecutive days on or before the fourth anniversary following the date of grant. If the performance conditions are not met, the awards are forfeited. If the performance conditions are met, once vested, the awards may be converted into Class A Operating Partnership units in the same manner as AO LTIP Units until ten years from the date of grant.

AO LTIP Units
AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a Vornado common share exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The threshold level is intended to be equal to 100% of the then fair market value of a Vornado common share on the date of grant. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into Class A Operating Partnership units. The number of Class A Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the quotient of (i) the excess of the conversion value on the conversion date over the threshold value designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted, divided by (ii) the conversion value on the conversion date. The “conversion value” is the value of a Vornado common share on the conversion date multiplied by the Conversion Factor as defined in the Partnership Agreement, which is currently one. AO LTIP Units have a term of ten years from the grant date. Each holder will generally receive special income allocations in respect of an AO LTIP Unit equal to 10% (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the income allocated in respect of a Class A Unit. Upon conversion of AO LTIP Units to Class A Units, holders will be entitled to receive in respect of each such AO LTIP Unit, on a per unit basis, a special distribution equal to 10% (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the distributions received by a holder of an equivalent number of Class A Units during the period from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units through the date of conversion.

19.     Leases
As lessor
We lease space to tenants under operating leases. Most of the leases provide for the payment of fixed base rent payable monthly in advance. Leases typically provide for periodic step‑ups in rent over the term of the lease and pass through to tenants their share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses over a base year. Certain leases also require additional variable rent payments based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Electricity is provided to tenants on a sub-metered basis or included in rent based on surveys and adjusted for subsequent utility rate increases. Leases also typically provide for free rent and tenant improvement allowances for all or a portion of the tenant’s initial construction costs of its premises.
As of December 31, 2021, future undiscounted cash flows under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows:

We have a number of ground leases which are classified as operating leases. As of December 31, 2021, our ROU assets and lease liabilities were $337,197,000 and $370,206,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, our ROU assets and lease liabilities were $367,365,000 and $401,008,000, respectively.
The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on our incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"). We consider the general economic environment and our credit rating and factor in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease. Certain of our ground leases offer renewal options which we assess against relevant economic factors to determine whether we are reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that we are reasonably certain will be exercised are included in the measurement of the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset.
Certain of our ground leases are subject to fair market rent resets based on a percentage of the appraised value of the underlying assets at specified future dates. Fair market rent resets occurring during the lease term do not give rise to remeasurement of the related ROU assets and lease liabilities. Fair market rent resets occurring during the lease term, which may be material, will be recognized in the periods in which they are incurred as variable rent expense.
    The following table sets forth information related to the measurement of our lease liabilities as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

Farley Office and Retail
The future lease payments detailed above exclude the ground and building lease at Farley Office and Retail. Our 95% consolidated joint venture has a 99-year triple-net lease with Empire State Development ("ESD") for 845,000 rentable square feet of commercial space at the property, comprised of approximately 730,000 square feet of office space and approximately 115,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space. Our lease of the commercial space at the property is accounted for as a “failed sale-leaseback” as a result of us being deemed the "accounting owner" during development of the property in accordance with ASC 842-40-55 and the lease subsequently meeting "finance lease" classification pursuant to ASC 842-40-25 upon substantial completion. The lease calls for annual rent payments and fixed payments in lieu of real estate taxes ("PILOT") through June 2030. Following the fixed PILOT payment period, the PILOT is calculated in a manner consistent with buildings subject to New York City real estate taxes and assessments. As of December 31, 2021, future rent and fixed PILOT payments are $542,631,000.
20. Multiemployer Benefit Plans
Our subsidiaries make contributions to certain multiemployer defined benefit plans (“Multiemployer Pension Plans”) and health plans (“Multiemployer Health Plans”) for our union represented employees, pursuant to the respective collective bargaining agreements.
Multiemployer Pension Plans 
Multiemployer Pension Plans differ from single-employer pension plans in that (i) contributions to multiemployer plans may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers and (ii) if other participating employers fail to make their contributions, each of our participating subsidiaries may be required to bear its then pro rata share of unfunded obligations. If a participating subsidiary withdraws from a plan in which it participates, it may be subject to a withdrawal liability. As of December 31, 2021, our subsidiaries’ participation in these plans was not significant to our consolidated financial statements. 
In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we contributed $19,851,000, $7,049,000 and $10,793,000, respectively, towards Multiemployer Pension Plans, which is included as a component of “operating” expenses on our consolidated statements of income. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company funded its pension withdrawal liability in relation to the permanent closure of Hotel Pennsylvania which resulted in the Company funding more than 5% of total employer contributions to the related plan for the year. For our other Multiemployer Pension Plans, our subsidiaries’ contributions did not represent more than 5% of total employer contributions for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Multiemployer Health Plans 
Multiemployer Health Plans in which our subsidiaries participate provide health benefits to eligible active and retired employees. In the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, our subsidiaries contributed $23,431,000, $26,938,000 and $32,407,000, respectively, towards these plans, which is included as a component of “operating” expenses on our consolidated statements of income.

21.     Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
For our properties, we maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which $250,000,000 includes communicable disease coverage, and we maintain all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake, excluding communicable disease coverage. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $350,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for certified terrorism acts with limits of $6.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate (as listed below), $1.2 billion for non-certified acts of terrorism, and $5.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended to date and which has been extended through December 2027.
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 NBCR acts. 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. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,785,910 and 20% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.
Certain condominiums in which we own an interest (including our leasehold interest in the Farley Condominiums) own insurance policies with different per occurrence and aggregate limits than our policies described above.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism and other events. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for uninsured losses and for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, 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 or refinance 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 currently 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.
In July 2018, we leased 78,000 square feet at 345 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, CA, to a subsidiary of Regus PLC, for an initial term of 15 years. The obligations under the lease were guaranteed by Regus PLC in an amount of up to $90,000,000. The tenant purported to terminate the lease prior to space delivery. We commenced a suit on October 23, 2019 seeking to enforce the lease and the guaranty. On May 11, 2021, the court issued a final statement of decision in our favor and on July 7, 2021, the Regus subsidiary appealed the decision. On October 9, 2020, the successor to Regus PLC filed for bankruptcy in Luxembourg. We are actively pursuing claims relating to the guaranty against the successor to Regus PLC and its parent in Luxembourg and other jurisdictions.
In November 2011, we entered into an agreement with the New York City Economic Development Corporation ("EDC") to lease Piers 92 and 94 (the "Piers"). In February 2019, EDC issued an order for us to vacate Pier 92 due to structural problems. Beginning March 2020 through August 2021, we did not pay EDC the monthly rent due under the non-recourse lease due to the loss of our right to use or occupy Pier 92. On August 31, 2021, both parties entered into a mutual release with respect to claims by EDC for unpaid rent owed and claims by the Company for costs and damages as a result of our inability to use or occupy Pier 92.
Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us, except for the mortgage loans secured by 640 Fifth Avenue, 7 West 34th Street and 435 Seventh Avenue, which we guaranteed and therefore are part of our tax basis. 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. In addition, we have guaranteed the rent and payments in lieu of real estate taxes due to ESD, an entity of New York State, for Farley Office and Retail. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $1,648,000,000.

21. Commitments and Contingencies – continued
Other Commitments and Contingencies - continued
As of December 31, 2021, $15,273,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving 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 unsecured revolving 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.
Our 95% consolidated joint venture (5% is owned by Related Companies ("Related")) is developing Farley Office and Retail. In connection with the development of the property, the joint venture admitted a historic tax credit investor partner. Under the terms of the historic tax credit arrangement, the joint venture is required to comply with various laws, regulations, and contractual provisions. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, may require a refund or reduction of the Tax Credit Investor’s capital contributions. As of December 31, 2021, the Tax Credit Investor has made $92,400,000 in capital contributions. Vornado and Related have guaranteed certain of the joint venture’s obligations to the Tax Credit Investor.
As investment manager of the Fund we are entitled to an incentive allocation after the limited partners have received a preferred return on their invested capital. The incentive allocation is subject to catch-up and clawback provisions. Accordingly, based on the December 31, 2021 fair value of the Fund assets, at liquidation we would be required to make a $27,100,000 payment to the limited partners, net of amounts owed to us, representing a clawback of previously paid incentive allocations, which would have no income statement impact as it was previously accrued.
As of December 31, 2021, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $10,300,000.
As of December 31, 2021, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $494,000,000.
22.     Related Party Transactions
Alexander’s, Inc.
    We own 32.4% of Alexander’s. Steven Roth, the Chairman of Vornado’s Board of Trustee’s and its Chief Executive Officer, is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Alexander’s. We provide various services to Alexander’s in accordance with management, development and leasing agreements. These agreements are described in Note 5 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities.
Interstate Properties (“Interstate”)
Interstate is a general partnership in which Mr. Roth is the managing general partner. David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr., Trustees of Vornado and Directors of Alexander’s, respectively, are Interstate’s two other general partners. As of December 31, 2021, Interstate and its partners beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 6.9% of the common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado and 26.1% of Alexander’s common stock.
We manage and lease the real estate assets of Interstate pursuant to a management agreement for which we receive an annual fee equal to 4% of annual base rent and percentage rent. The management agreement has a term of one year and is automatically renewable unless terminated by either of the parties on 60 days’ notice at the end of the term. We believe, based upon comparable fees charged by other real estate companies, that the management agreement terms are consistent with the market. We earned $203,000, $203,000, and $300,000 of management fees under the agreement for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV
We provide various services to Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV in accordance with management, development, leasing and other agreements.

23. Segment Information
We operate in two reportable segments, New York and Other, which is based on how we manage our business.
Net operating income ("NOI") at share represents total revenues less operating expenses including our share of partially owned entities. NOI at share - cash basis represents NOI at share adjusted to exclude straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net and other non-cash adjustments. We consider NOI at share - cash basis to be the primary non-GAAP financial 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 NOI at share - cash basis, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. NOI at share - cash basis includes rent that has been deferred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

2022 Long-Term Performance Award
On January 12, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the 2022 Long-Term Performance Plan (“LTPP”), a multi-year, LTIP units-based performance equity compensation plan. Awards under the 2022 LTPP are bifurcated between operational performance (50%) and relative performance (50%) measurements and may be earned at specified threshold, target and maximum levels.
The operational component awards may be earned based on Vornado’s 2022 operational performance in the following categories:
Comparable FFO per share (75% weighting); and
ESG performance metrics consisting of greenhouse emissions reductions, GRESB score and Green Building Certification (LEED) achievements (aggregate 25% weighting).
Any LTPP award units tentatively earned based on Vornado’s 2022 operational performance are subject to an absolute return modifier pursuant to which such award units are subject to a potential reduction (but not increase) of up to 30% if Vornado’s aggregate total 3-year TSR for 2022-2025 is below specified levels.
Awards under relative components may be earned based on Vornado’s 3-year TSR, measured against the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Office Index (50% weighting) and a Northeast peer group custom index (50% weighting). Awards earned under the relative component of the LTPP are subject to reductions of up to 30% if Vornado’s 3-year TSR is below specified levels.
If the designated performance objectives are achieved, awards earned under 2022 LTPP will vest 50% in January 2025 and 50% in January 2026. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer is required to hold any earned and vested awards for three years following each such vesting date and all other award recipients are required to hold such awards for one year following each such vesting date. Dividends on awards granted under the 2022 LTPP accrue during the applicable performance period and are paid to participants if awards are ultimately earned based on the achievement of the designated performance objectives.
Sale of SoHo Properties
On January 13, 2022, we sold two Manhattan retail properties located at 478-482 Broadway and 155 Spring Street. See Note 7 - Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of Vornado Realty Trust, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of Vornado’s principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As of December 31, 2021, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 was effective.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our trustees; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York
 
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Vornado Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated February 14, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Partnership and our report dated February 14, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

EXHIBIT 4.3
DESCRIPTION OF VORNADO REALTY TRUST SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

The following description of the material terms of the shares of beneficial interest of Vornado Realty Trust is only a summary and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the more complete descriptions of the shares in the following documents: (a) Vornado Realty Trust’s Declaration of Trust, as amended and supplemented (including the applicable articles supplementary), which we refer to as our Declaration of Trust, and (b) Vornado Realty Trust’s amended and restated bylaws, which we refer to as our bylaws, copies of which are exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please note that references to “Vornado,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to Vornado Realty Trust. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this description is an exhibit.
General
The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of up to 720,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, consisting of 250,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $.04 par value per share (the "Common Shares"), 110,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, no par value per share (the “Preferred Shares”), and 360,000,000 excess shares, $.04 par value per share. The Board of Trustees may classify or reclassify any unissued Preferred Shares from time to time in one or more series, without shareholder approval, with such designations, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption thereof as established by our Board of Trustees.
As permitted by Maryland law, the Declaration of Trust authorizes our Board of Trustees, without any action by our shareholders, to amend the Declaration of Trust from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of beneficial interest or the number of shares of beneficial interest of any class that we are authorized to issue. The effect of this provision in our Declaration of Trust is to permit our Board of Trustees, without shareholder action, to increase or decrease (a) the total number of authorized shares of beneficial interest of Vornado Realty Trust and/or (b) the number of authorized shares of beneficial interest of any one or more classes. Maryland law permits a real estate investment trust to have shares of beneficial interest that are assigned to a particular class as well as shares that are not assigned to a particular class but are available to be classified by the Board of Trustees at a later time. Thus, the total number of authorized shares of beneficial interest may exceed the total number of authorized shares of all classes. Currently, all of our authorized shares of beneficial interest are assigned to one of the three classes set forth above.
(a)Common Shares, $0.04 par value share
Dividend Rights
The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends when, if and as authorized by the Board of Trustees and declared by Vornado out of assets legally available to pay dividends, if receipt of the dividends is in compliance with the provisions in the Declaration of Trust restricting the ownership and transfer of shares of beneficial interest. However, the terms of Vornado’s issued and outstanding Preferred Shares provide that, other than in compliance with requirements of an employee incentive or benefit plan or as permitted under Article IV of the Declaration of Trust, Vornado may only pay dividends or other distributions on Common Shares or purchase Common Shares if full cumulative dividends have, for all past dividend periods and the then-current dividend period, been paid or set apart for payment on all outstanding Preferred Shares. The terms of the Preferred Shares that are now issued and outstanding do not provide for any mandatory sinking fund in connection with the payment of dividends on Preferred Shares.
Voting Rights
Subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Common Shares, the holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote, including elections of Trustees. There is no cumulative voting in the election of Trustees, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares may elect all of the Trustees then standing for election. The holders of Common Shares do not have any conversion, redemption or preemptive rights to subscribe to any securities of Vornado.
Listing of Common Shares
Our Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VNO”.
Rights Upon Liquidation
If Vornado is dissolved, liquidated or wound up, holders of Common Shares are entitled to share proportionally in any assets available for distribution after the prior rights of creditors, including holders of Vornado’s indebtedness, and the aggregate liquidation preference of any Preferred Shares then outstanding are satisfied in full.


1


Restrictions on Ownership of Common Shares
The Common Shares Beneficial Ownership Limit. For Vornado to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), not more than 50% of the value of its outstanding shares of beneficial interest may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of a taxable year and the shares of beneficial interest must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. The Code defines “individuals” to include some entities for purposes of the preceding sentence. All references to a shareholder’s ownership of Common Shares in this section “ — The Common Shares Beneficial Ownership Limit” assume application of the applicable attribution rules of the Code under which, for example, a shareholder is deemed to own shares owned by his or her spouse.
The Declaration of Trust contains a number of provisions that restrict the ownership and transfer of shares and are designed to safeguard Vornado against loss of its REIT status. These provisions may also have the effect of deterring non-negotiated acquisitions of, and proxy fights for, us by third parties. The Declaration of Trust contains a limitation that restricts, with some exceptions, shareholders from owning more than a specified percentage of the outstanding Common Shares. We call this percentage the “common shares beneficial ownership limit.” The common shares beneficial ownership limit was initially set at 2.0% of the outstanding Common Shares. Our Board of Trustees subsequently adopted a resolution raising the common shares beneficial ownership limit from 2.0% to 6.7% of the outstanding Common Shares and has the authority to grant exemptions from the common shares beneficial ownership limit. The shareholders who owned more than 6.7% of the Common Shares immediately after the merger of Vornado, Inc. into Vornado in May 1993 may continue to do so and may acquire additional Common Shares through stock option and similar plans or from other shareholders who owned more than 6.7% of the Common Shares immediately after that merger. However, Common Shares may not be transferred if, as a result, more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of Vornado would be owned by five or fewer individuals. While the shareholders who owned more than 6.7% of the Common Shares immediately after the merger of Vornado, Inc. into Vornado in May 1993 are not generally permitted to acquire additional Common Shares from any other source, these shareholders may acquire additional Common Shares from any source if Vornado issues additional Common Shares, up to the percentage held by them immediately before Vornado issues the additional shares.
Shareholders should be aware that events other than a purchase or other transfer of Common Shares may result in ownership, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, of Common Shares in excess of the common shares beneficial ownership limit. For instance, if two shareholders, each of whom owns 3.5% of the outstanding Common Shares, were to marry, then after their marriage both shareholders would be deemed to own 7.0% of the outstanding Common Shares, which is in excess of the common shares beneficial ownership limit. Similarly, if a shareholder who owns 4.9% of the outstanding Common Shares were to acquire a 50% interest in a corporation which owns 4.8% of the outstanding Common Shares, then the shareholder would be deemed to own 7.3% of the outstanding Common Shares. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the application of the attribution rules of the Code in your particular circumstances.
The Constructive Ownership Limit. Under the Code, rental income received by a REIT from persons in which the REIT is treated, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, as owning a 10% or greater interest does not constitute qualifying income for purposes of the income requirements that REITs must satisfy. For these purposes, a REIT is treated as owning any stock owned, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, by a person that owns 10% or more of the value of the outstanding shares of the REIT. The attribution rules of the Code applicable for these purposes are different from those applicable with respect to the common shares beneficial ownership limit. All references to a shareholder’s ownership of Common Shares in this section “— The Constructive Ownership Limit” assume application of the applicable attribution rules of the Code.
In order to ensure that rental income of Vornado will not be treated as nonqualifying income under the rule described in the preceding paragraph, and thus to ensure that Vornado will not lose its REIT status as a result of the ownership of shares by a tenant, or a person that holds an interest in a tenant, the Declaration of Trust contains an ownership limit that restricts, with some exceptions, shareholders from owning more than 9.9% of the outstanding shares of any class. We refer to this 9.9% ownership limit as the “constructive ownership limit.” The shareholders who owned shares in excess of the constructive ownership limit immediately after the merger of Vornado, Inc. into Vornado in May 1993 generally are not subject to the constructive ownership limit. The Declaration of Trust also contains restrictions that are designed to ensure that the shareholders who owned shares in excess of the constructive ownership limit immediately after the merger of Vornado, Inc. into Vornado in May 1993 will not, in the aggregate, own a large enough interest in a tenant or subtenant of the REIT to cause rental income received, directly or indirectly, by the REIT from that tenant or subtenant to be treated as nonqualifying income for purposes of the income requirements that REITs must satisfy. The restrictions described in the preceding sentence have an exception for tenants and subtenants from whom the REIT receives, directly or indirectly, rental income that is not in excess of a specified threshold.
Shareholders should be aware that events other than a purchase or other transfer of shares may result in ownership, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, of shares in excess of the constructive ownership limit. As the attribution rules that apply with respect to the constructive ownership limit differ from those that apply with respect to the common shares beneficial ownership limit, the events other than a purchase or other transfer of shares which may result in share ownership in excess of the constructive ownership limit may differ from those which may result in share ownership in excess of the common shares beneficial ownership limit. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the application of the attribution rules of the Code in your particular circumstances.

DREIT Ownership Limit. Under the Code, a domestically controlled qualified investment entity includes a REIT in which, at all times during the relevant testing period, less than 50% in value of the REIT’s stock was held directly or indirectly by foreign persons, as such term is used in the provision of the Code defining a domestically controlled qualified investment entity. Our qualification as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity (which, in our case, would mean that we would be a domestically controlled REIT) would mean that foreign investors that enter into joint venture structures with us that utilize subsidiary REITs may be able to treat our interest in such subsidiary REITs as being held entirely by U.S. persons for purposes of determining whether the subsidiary REIT is itself a domestically controlled qualified investment entity (and, therefore, a domestically controlled REIT), thereby enabling such foreign investors to avail themselves of certain tax benefits under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act  of 1980 that may not otherwise be available.
The Declaration of Trust contains provisions that restrict the ownership and transfer of shares and are designed to assist us prospectively in qualifying as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity. Specifically, if any transfer or non-transfer event involving our capital shares would result in Vornado failing to qualify as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, the purported transferee or affected holder will be a “prohibited owner” and would not acquire any right or interest in those shares.
Issuance of Excess Shares If the Ownership Limits Are Violated. The Declaration of Trust provides that a transfer of Common Shares that would otherwise result in ownership, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, of Common Shares in excess of the common shares beneficial ownership limit or the constructive ownership limit, or which would cause the shares of beneficial interest of Vornado to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, will be void and the purported transferee will acquire no rights or economic interest in the Common Shares. In addition, the Declaration of Trust provides that Common Shares that would otherwise be owned, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, in excess of the common shares beneficial ownership limit or the constructive ownership limit will be automatically exchanged for excess shares. The Declaration of Trust further provides that, if there is a purported transfer or any other event that would, if effective, result in Vornado failing to qualify as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, then the smallest number of Common Shares owned or purported to be owned, directly or indirectly within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code, by the purported transferee or affected holder which, if exchanged for excess shares, would not cause Vornado to fail to qualify as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity shall be automatically exchanged for an equal number of excess shares. These excess shares will be transferred, by operation of law, to Vornado as trustee of a trust for the exclusive benefit of a beneficiary designated by the purported transferee or purported holder. While so held in trust, excess shares are not entitled to vote and are not entitled to participate in any dividends or distributions made by Vornado. Any dividends or distributions received by the purported transferee or other purported holder of the excess shares before Vornado discovers the automatic exchange for excess shares must be repaid to Vornado upon demand.
If the purported transferee or purported holder elects to designate a beneficiary of an interest in the trust with respect to the excess shares, he or she may designate only a person whose ownership of the shares will not violate the common shares beneficial ownership limit or the constructive ownership limit. When the designation is made, the excess shares will be automatically exchanged for Common Shares. The Declaration of Trust contains provisions designed to ensure that the purported transferee or other purported holder of the excess shares may not receive, in return for transferring an interest in the trust with respect to the excess shares, an amount that reflects any appreciation in the Common Shares for which the excess shares were exchanged during the period that the excess shares were outstanding but will bear the burden of any decline in value during that period. Any amount received by a purported transferee or other purported holder for designating a beneficiary in excess of the amount permitted to be received must be turned over to Vornado. The Declaration of Trust provides that Vornado, or its designee, may purchase any excess shares that have been automatically exchanged for Common Shares as a result of a purported transfer or other event. The price at which Vornado, or its designee, may purchase the excess shares will be equal to the lesser of:
in the case of excess shares resulting from a purported transfer for value, the price per share in the purported transfer that resulted in the automatic exchange for excess shares, or in the case of excess shares resulting from some other event, the market price of the Common Shares exchanged on the date of the automatic exchange for excess shares; and
•    the market price of the Common Shares exchanged for the excess shares on the date that Vornado accepts the deemed offer to sell the excess shares.
Vornado’s right to buy the excess shares will exist for 90 days, beginning on the date that the automatic exchange for excess shares occurred or, if Vornado did not receive a notice concerning the purported transfer that resulted in the automatic exchange for excess shares, the date on which the Board of Trustees determines in good faith that an exchange for excess shares has occurred.
Other Provisions Concerning the Restrictions on Ownership. Our Board of Trustees may exempt persons from the common shares beneficial ownership limit or the constructive ownership limit, including the limitations applicable to holders who owned in excess of 6.7% of the Common Shares immediately after the merger of Vornado, Inc. into Vornado in May 1993, if evidence satisfactory to the Board of Trustees is presented showing that the exemption will not jeopardize Vornado’s status as a REIT under the Code. No exemption to a person that is an individual for purposes of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code, however, may permit the individual to have beneficial ownership in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the class. Before granting an exemption of this kind, the Board of Trustees is required to obtain a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and representations and undertakings, including representations, from the applicant, that demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Trustees, that such ownership would not jeopardize the REIT status of Vornado.
3



The foregoing restrictions on transfer and ownership will not apply if the Board of Trustees determines that it is no longer in the best interests of Vornado to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT.
All persons who own, directly or by virtue of the applicable attribution rules of the Code, more than 2.0% of the outstanding Common Shares must give a written notice to Vornado containing the information specified in the Declaration of Trust by January 31 of each year. In addition, each shareholder will be required to disclose to Vornado upon demand any information that Vornado may request, in good faith, to determine Vornado’s status as a REIT or to comply with Treasury regulations promulgated under the REIT provisions of the Code.
The ownership restrictions described above may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of Vornado unless the Vornado Board determines that maintenance of REIT status is no longer in the best interests of Vornado.
(b)Preferred Shares of beneficial interest, no par value
The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of 110,000,000 preferred shares. Of the 110,000,000 authorized preferred shares, as of December 31, 2021, the Declaration of Trust authorizes Vornado to issue:

Series D-10 7.00% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series D-11 7.20% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series D-12 6.55% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series D-14 6.75% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares or Series D-15 6.875% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares may be issued upon the redemption of preferred units of limited partnership interest of Vornado Realty L.P. of a corresponding series.

Redemption at Option of Vornado
The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are currently redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, for such number of Common Shares as are issuable at the initial conversion rate of 0.68728 Common Share for each Series A Convertible Preferred Share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The conversion rate as of December 31, 2021 is 1.9531 Common Share for each Series A Convertible Preferred Share. The Company may exercise this option only if for 20 trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days, including the last trading day of such period, the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") exceeds $87.30 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In order to exercise its redemption option, the Company must issue a press release announcing the redemption prior to the opening of business on the second trading day after the conditions described in the preceding sentences have, from time to time, been met. The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are not redeemable for cash.
We may redeem the Series L Preferred Shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any 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. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series L Preferred Shares.
Except in instances relating to preservation of our status as a real estate investment trust, the Series M Preferred Shares are not redeemable until December 13, 2022. On and after December 13, 2022, we may redeem the Series M Preferred Shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. The Series M Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series M Preferred Shares.
Except in instances relating to preservation of our status as a real estate investment trust, the Series N Preferred Shares are not redeemable until November 24, 2025. On and after November 24, 2025, we may redeem the Series N Preferred Shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. The Series N Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series N Preferred Shares.
Except in instances relating to preservation of our status as a real estate investment trust, the Series O Preferred Shares are not redeemable until September 22, 2026. On and after September 22, 2026, we may redeem the Series O Preferred Shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. The Series O Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series O Preferred Shares.
Liquidation Preference
The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Vornado, whether voluntary or involuntary, $50.00 per Series A Convertible Preferred Share, and the holders of Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Vornado, whether voluntary or involuntary, $25.00 per Preferred Share (such amounts, the "Liquidation Preference") plus an amount per Preferred Share equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders.
Until the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares have been paid the Liquidation Preference and all accrued and unpaid dividends in full, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Shares upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Vornado. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Vornado, the assets of Vornado, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the Parity Shares (as defined below under "—Ranking") are insufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference and all accrued and unpaid dividends and the liquidation preference and all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to any other shares of Parity Shares, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, will be distributed among the holders of Preferred Shares and any such Parity Shares ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such Preferred Shares and any such Parity Shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. None of (i) a consolidation or merger of Vornado with one or more entities, (ii) a statutory share exchange by Vornado or (iii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Vornado's assets will be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of Vornado.
The term "Junior Shares" means the Common Shares, and any other class of capital stock of Vornado now or hereafter issued and outstanding that ranks junior as to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up to the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares.
Ranking
The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares rank senior to the Junior Shares, including the Common Shares, with respect to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. While any Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or any L, M, N or O Preferred Shares are outstanding, we may not authorize, create or increase the authorized amount of any class or series of beneficial interest that ranks senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
5



up without the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, and the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares and all other shares of Voting Preferred Shares (as defined under "—Voting Rights" below), voting as a single class. However, we may create additional classes of beneficial interest, increase the authorized number of Preferred Shares or issue series of Preferred Shares ranking on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or the Series L, M, N or O Preferred Shares with respect, in each case, to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up ("Parity Shares") without the consent of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or Series L, M, N or O Preferred Shares.
Voting Rights
The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the L, M, N and O Preferred Shares will generally have no voting rights. However, if dividends on any series of the Preferred Shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, (together with the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the L, M, N and O Preferred Shares, the “Voting Preferred Shares”) are in arrears for six quarterly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive), the holders of the Voting Preferred Shares (voting separately as a class with holders of all other series of parity preferred shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will have the right to elect two additional trustees to serve on our Board of Trustees until such dividend arrearage is eliminated.
The approval of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and all other series of Voting Preferred Shares, acting as a single class either at a meeting of shareholders or by written consent, is required in order to (i) amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of the Declaration of Trust to materially and adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the Voting Preferred Shares; provided that any filing with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of Vornado shall not be deemed to be an amendment, alteration or repeal of any provisions of the Declaration of Trust, or (ii) to authorize, create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series or any security convertible into shares of any class or series having rights senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
The approval of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of outstanding Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares and all other series of Voting Preferred Shares, acting as a single class either at a meeting of shareholders or by written consent, is required in order (i) to amend, alter or repeal any provisions of the Declaration of Trust, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, to affect materially and adversely the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Series L, M, N or O Preferred Shares, unless in connection with any such amendment, alteration or repeal, each such share remains outstanding without the terms thereof being materially changed in any respect adverse to the holders thereof or is converted into or exchanged for preferred stock of the surviving entity having preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption thereof identical to those of the applicable Preferred Shares (except for changes that do not materially and adversely affect the holders of such shares), or (ii) to authorize, create, or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of beneficial interest having rights senior to the Series L, M, N or O Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
For all Voting Preferred Shares, if such amendment affects materially and adversely the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of one or more but not all of the series of Voting Preferred Shares, then only the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the series so affected is required in lieu of the consent of the holders of two-thirds of the Voting Preferred Shares as a class.
We may create additional classes of shares that rank junior to or on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares, increase the authorized number of shares of classes that rank junior to or on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares and issue additional shares of classes that rank junior to or on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares without the consent of any holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares or the Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares.
Listing of Preferred Shares
As of the date of filing of this Exhibit 4.3, our Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “VNO Pr L,” “VNO Pr M,” “VNO Pr N,” and “VNO Pr O,” respectively.
Conversion Rights
The Series A Convertible A Preferred Shares are convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder at any time, unless previously redeemed, into Common Shares, at an initial conversion price of $72.75 of Liquidation Preference per Common Share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2021, the conversion price is $1.9531 per Common Share.
The Series L, M, N and O Preferred Shares are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of Vornado.
Restrictions on Ownership of Preferred Shares
As noted above, for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest may be owned, beneficially or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the
6



Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of a taxable year, and the shares of beneficial interest must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year). For this and other reasons, the Declaration of Trust and the Articles Supplementary for each series of Preferred Shares contain provisions that restrict the ownership and transfer of shares of beneficial interest.
Our Declaration of Trust contains a Preferred Share ownership limit that restricts shareholders from owning, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, more than 9.9% of the outstanding Preferred Shares of any class or series and a Common Share ownership limit that generally restricts shareholders from owning, under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, more than 6.7% of the Outstanding Common Shares. In addition, our Declaration of Trust contains provisions that limit ownership under the applicable attribution rules of the Code of our Preferred Shares and our Common Shares to the extent that such ownership of such shares would cause us to fail to qualify as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code. Shares owned in excess of any of these limits will be automatically exchanged for excess shares pursuant to our Declaration of Trust. Excess shares will be held in trust by us and, while held in trust, will not be entitled to vote or participate in dividends or distributions made by us.
(c)Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of our Declaration of Trust and our bylaws
The following description of certain provisions of Maryland law and of our Declaration of Trust and bylaws is only a summary. For a complete description, we refer you to Maryland law, our Declaration of Trust and our bylaws.
Board of Trustees
Our Declaration of Trust provides that the number of trustees of the Company will not be more than fifteen and may be increased or decreased by a vote of the trustees then in office. Our bylaws provide that any vacancy on the Board may be filled only by a majority of the remaining trustees, even if the remaining trustees do not constitute a quorum. Any trustee elected to fill a vacancy will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of trustees in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies. Pursuant to our Declaration of Trust and bylaws, each member of our Board of Trustees is elected by our shareholders to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Holders of Common Shares have no right to cumulative voting in the election of trustees and trustees will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election of trustees.
Removal of Trustees
Our Declaration of Trust provides that a trustee may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of trustees. This provision, when coupled with the provision in our bylaws authorizing the Board of Trustees to fill vacant trusteeships, precludes shareholders from removing incumbent trustees except for cause and by a substantial affirmative vote and thereafter filling the vacancies created by the removal with their own nominees.
Business Combinations
Under Maryland law, "business combinations" between a Maryland real estate investment trust and an interested shareholder or an affiliate of an interested shareholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested shareholder is defined as:
any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the voting power of the trust's outstanding shares; or
an affiliate or associate of the trust who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding voting shares of the trust.
A person is not an interested shareholder under the statute if the Board of Trustees approved in advance the transaction by which the interested shareholder otherwise would have become an interested shareholder. However, in approving a transaction, the Board of Trustees may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the Board.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland trust and an interested shareholder generally must be recommended by the Board of Trustees of the trust and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of the trust; and
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting shares of the trust other than voting shares held by the interested shareholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder.
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the holders of the trust's Common Shares receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its shares.
7



The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the Board of Trustees before the time that the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder.
Our Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution exempting any business combination between any trustee or officer of Vornado, or their affiliates, and Vornado. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super-majority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and any of them. As a result, the trustees and officers of Vornado and their affiliates may be able to enter into business combinations with us without compliance with the super-majority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute. With respect to business combinations with other persons, the business combination provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Vornado or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of the shareholders. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of Vornado and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Control Share Acquisitions
Maryland law provides that control shares of a Maryland real estate investment trust acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquiror, by officers or by employees who are trustees of the trust are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares which, if aggregated with all other shares owned by the acquiror or in respect of which the acquiror is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power:
one-tenth or more but less than one-third,
one-third or more but less than a majority, or
a majority or more of all voting power.
Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval, or shares acquired directly from the trust. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the board of trustees of the trust to call a special meeting of shareholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. The right to compel the calling of a special meeting is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including an undertaking to pay the expenses of the meeting. If no request for a meeting is made, the trust may itself present the question at any shareholders meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then the trust may redeem for fair value any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights have previously been approved. The right of the trust to redeem control shares is subject to certain conditions and limitations. Fair value is determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquiror or of any meeting of shareholders at which the voting rights of the shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a shareholders meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control share acquisition.
The control share acquisition statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the trust is a party to the transaction, or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the declaration of trust or bylaws of the trust.
Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.
Approval of Extraordinary Trust Action; Amendment of Declaration of Trust and Bylaws
Under Maryland law, a Maryland real estate investment trust generally may not amend its declaration of trust, dissolve, merge or consolidate with or convert into another entity, sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a statutory share exchange, unless approved by the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter. However, a Maryland real estate investment trust may provide in its declaration of trust for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Vornado may take any of these actions if approved by the Board of Trustees and by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Similarly, our Declaration of Trust provides for approval of amendments by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Some limited exceptions (including amendments to the provisions of our Declaration of Trust related to the removal of trustees, ownership and transfer restrictions and amendments) require the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter.
Under Maryland law, the declaration of trust of a Maryland real estate investment trust may permit the trustees, by a two-thirds vote, to amend the declaration of trust from time to time to qualify as a REIT under the Code or the Maryland REIT Law, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the shareholders. Our Declaration of Trust permits such action by the Board of Trustees. In addition, our Declaration of Trust, as permitted by Maryland law, contains a provision that permits our Board, without a
8



shareholder vote, to amend the Declaration of Trust to increase or decrease the total number of shares of beneficial interest that we are authorized to issue and the number of authorized shares of any class or series of beneficial interest that we are authorized to issue.
The Board of Trustees has the right to adopt and amend the bylaws. Additionally, our bylaws provide that shareholders may adopt, alter or repeal any bylaw by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, to the extent permitted by law.
Advance Notice of Trustee Nominations and New Business
Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of shareholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees and the proposal of business to be considered by shareholders may be made only (i) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (ii) by the Board of Trustees or (iii) by a shareholder or record who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of our bylaws. With respect to special meetings of shareholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees at a special meeting may be made only (i) by the Board of Trustees, or (ii) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, provided that the Board of Trustees has determined that trustees will be elected at the meeting, by a shareholder of record who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of our bylaws.
Proxy Access Procedures for Qualifying Shareholders
Our bylaws permit a shareholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, that owns 3% or more of our outstanding Common Shares, continuously for at least three years, to nominate and include in our proxy statement for an annual meeting of shareholders, trustee nominees constituting up to the greater of two nominees or 20% of our Board of Trustees, provided that the shareholder(s) and the trustee nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in our bylaws.
Subtitle 8
Maryland law permits a Maryland real estate investment trust with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent trustees to elect, without shareholder approval, to classify our Board of Trustees.
Anti-takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws
The business combination provisions and, if the applicable provision in our bylaws is rescinded, the control share acquisition provisions of Maryland law, the provisions in our Declaration of Trust on removal of trustees and the advance notice provisions of our bylaws could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control of Vornado that might involve a premium price for holders of Common Shares or otherwise be in their best interest.

EXHIBIT 4.4
DESCRIPTION OF CLASS A UNITS OF VORNADO REALTY L.P. AND
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF ITS AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
The following description of the material terms of the class A units of Vornado Realty L.P., which we refer to as the “operating partnership,” and some material provisions of the operating partnership’s agreement of limited partnership, which we refer to as the “partnership agreement,” does not describe every aspect of the units or the partnership agreement and is only a summary of, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, applicable provisions of Delaware law and the partnership agreement. A copy of the partnership agreement is filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this Exhibit is attached.
The Operating Partnership's Outstanding Classes of Units
Holders of units, other than Vornado Realty Trust in its capacity as general partner, hold a limited partnership interest in the operating partnership. All holders of units, including Vornado Realty Trust in its capacity as general partner, are entitled to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the operating partnership.
Holders of units have the rights to which limited partners are entitled under the partnership agreement and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Class A units are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act. No other class of units is registered under Federal law and no units are registered under any state securities laws, and no units are listed on any exchange or quoted on any national market system. The partnership agreement imposes restrictions on the transfer of units. See "—Restrictions on Transfers of Units by Limited Partners" below for further information about these restrictions.
As of December 31, 2021, there were outstanding:
12,902 series A preferred units;
12,000,000 series L pass-through preferred units;
12,780,000 series M preferred units;
12,000,000 series N preferred units;
12,000,000 series O preferred units;
1,867,311 series D-13 preferred units;
141,400 series D-17 preferred units;
5,828 series G-1 preferred units;
14,424 series G-2 preferred units;
43,532 series G-3 preferred units;
73,201 series G-4 preferred units;
3,478,955 restricted operating partnership units (“LTIP units”), including 567,739 appreciation-only long-term incentive plan units issued in connection with out-performance plan awards; and
202,845,830 class A units, including 11,122,222 not held by Vornado Realty Trust.
Distributions with Respect to Units
The partnership agreement provides for distributions, as determined in the manner provided in the partnership agreement, to Vornado Realty Trust and the limited partners in proportion to their percentage interests in the operating partnership, subject to the distribution preferences that are described in the next paragraph. As general partner of the operating partnership, Vornado Realty Trust has the exclusive right to declare and cause the operating partnership to make distributions as and when it deems appropriate or desirable in its discretion. For so long as Vornado Realty Trust elects to qualify as a REIT, it will make reasonable efforts, as determined by Vornado Realty Trust in its sole discretion, to make distributions to partners in amounts such that it will be able to pay shareholder dividends that will satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT and avoid any federal income or excise tax liability for Vornado Realty Trust.
Distributions vary among the holders of different classes of units:
The series A preferred units entitle Vornado Realty Trust as their holder to a cumulative preferential distribution at an annual rate of $3.25 per series A preferred unit, which we refer to as the "series A preferred distribution preference." The series A preferred units correspond to Vornado Realty Trust’s series A convertible preferred shares.
The series L preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of $1.35 per unit, which we refer to as the "series L preferred distribution preference." The series L preferred units correspond to Vornado Realty Trust’s series L preferred shares.
The series M preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of $1.3125 per unit, which we refer to as the "series M preferred distribution preference." The series M preferred units correspond to Vornado Realty Trust's series M preferred shares.
The series N preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of $1.3125 per unit, which we refer to as the "series N preferred distribution preference." The series N preferred units correspond to Vornado Realty Trust's series N preferred shares.

The series O preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of $1.1125 per unit, which we refer to as the "series O preferred distribution preference." The series O preferred units correspond to Vornado Realty Trust's series O preferred shares.
The series D-13 preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of $0.75 per unit, which we refer to as the "series D-13 preferred distribution preference."
The series D-17 preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of $0.8125 per unit, which we refer to as the "series D-17 preferred distribution preference."

The series G-3 preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of LIBOR plus 90 basis points per unit, which we refer to as the "series G-3 preferred distribution preference."
The series G-4 preferred units entitle their holder to a preferential distribution at the annual rate of $1.375 per unit, which we call the "series G-4 preferred distribution preference."
In this description we sometimes refer to the series A preferred distribution preference, the series L pass-through distribution preference, the series M preferred distribution preference, the series N preferred distribution preference, the series O preferred distribution preference, the series D-13 preferred distribution preference, the series D-17 preferred distribution preference, the series G-1 preferred distribution preference, the series G-2 preferred distribution preference, the series G-3 preferred distribution preference, and the series G-4 preferred distribution preference as the "preferred distribution preferences."
The value of each class A unit, which is the operating partnership’s common unit, regardless of its class, equates to one common share of Vornado Realty Trust. Preferred units do not have a value equating to one common share, but have the liquidation preferences and conversion prices for conversion into class A units or terms for redemption for cash or corresponding preferred shares that are established in the partnership agreement. LTIP units have a value equating to one class A unit if and when the LTIP unit becomes exchangeable for one class A unit.
The partnership agreement provides that the operating partnership will make distributions when, as and if declared by Vornado Realty Trust in the order of preference provided for in the partnership agreement. The order of preference in the partnership agreement provides that distributions will be paid first to Vornado Realty Trust as necessary to enable Vornado Realty Trust to pay REIT expenses. The partnership agreement defines "REIT expenses" to mean the following in respect of Vornado Realty Trust:
costs and expenses relating to the continuity of is existence and any entity in which Vornado Realty Trust owns an equity interest;
costs and expenses relating to any of the offer or registration of securities;
costs and expenses associated with preparing and filing of periodic reports under federal, state and local laws, including SEC filings;
costs and expenses associated with its compliance with laws, rules and regulations applicable to it; and
all other operating or administrative expenses incurred in the ordinary course of its business.
After the operating partnership pays Vornado Realty Trust distributions as necessary to enable it to pay REIT expenses, distributions will be paid:
first, to holders of any class of preferred units ranking senior, as to distributions or redemption or voting rights, to class A units and LTIP units; and
second, to holders of class A units and LTIP units.
Ranking of Units
The series A preferred units, series L preferred units, series M preferred units, series N preferred units, series O preferred units, series D-13 preferred units, series D-17 preferred units, series G-1 preferred units, series G-2 preferred units, series G-3 preferred units, and series G-4 preferred units rank senior to the class A and LTIP units with respect to the payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the operating partnership. The series A preferred units, series L preferred units, series M preferred units, series N preferred units, series O preferred units, series D-13 preferred units, series D-17 preferred units, series G-1 preferred units, series G-2 preferred units, series G-3 preferred units, and series G-4 preferred units and any other units designated as "parity units" all rank on a parity with each other, in each case with respect to the payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the operating partnership, without preference or priority of one over the other.
The series of preferred units have the following liquidation preferences:
$50.00 per series A preferred unit; and
$25.00 per series L preferred unit, series M preferred unit, series N preferred unit, series O preferred unit, series D-13 preferred unit, series D-17 preferred unit, series G-1 preferred unit, series G-2 preferred unit, series G-3 preferred unit and series G-4 preferred unit.
2


From time to time as determined by Vornado Realty Trust, in its discretion, the operating partnership may create additional series of preference units or classes of other units senior to or on parity with the class A units with respect to the payment of distributions and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the partnership.
Redemption or Conversion of Units
The holders of class A units, other than Vornado Realty Trust or any of its subsidiaries, have the right to redeem their units for cash or, at the option of Vornado Realty Trust, an equivalent number of Vornado Realty Trust’s common shares.
The series A preferred units became redeemable at Vornado Realty Trust’s option for class A units on April 1, 2001, and are convertible at its option into class A units at any time, provided that an equivalent number of series A preferred shares are concurrently converted into common shares by their holders. The number of class A units into which the series A preferred units are redeemable or convertible is equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the series A preferred units being redeemed or converted divided by their conversion price. The conversion price of the series A preferred units is now 1.9531 and may be adjusted from time to time to take account of stock dividends and other transactions.
The series L, series M, series N and series O preferred units are redeemable for cash equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit plus any accrued and unpaid distributions at the option of Vornado Realty Trust, provided that an equivalent number of series L, series M, series N or series O preferred shares of Vornado Realty Trust, respectively, are concurrently redeemed by Vornado Realty Trust.
The series D-13 preferred units are redeemable by the holder for cash equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit plus any accrued and unpaid distribution, provided that Vornado Realty Trust may determine, at its option, to deliver its common shares with a value equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit plus any accrued and unpaid distributions.
The series D-17 preferred units are redeemable for cash (i) at the option of Vornado Realty Trust and (ii) at the option of the holder, in each case following certain events equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit plus any accrued and unpaid distributions.
Any redemption of units must comply with the delivery and other requirements of the operating partnership agreement which may limit the ability of a holder to redeem their units at a particular time or in a particular quantity.
Formation of the Operating Partnership
The operating partnership was formed as a limited partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on October 2, 1996. Vornado Realty Trust is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 92.6% of the common limited partnership interest in, the operating partnership at December 31, 2021.
Purposes, Business and Management of the Operating Partnership
The purpose of the operating partnership includes the conduct of any business that may be lawfully conducted by a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, except that the partnership agreement requires the business of the operating partnership to be conducted in a manner that will permit Vornado Realty Trust to be classified as a REIT under Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code, unless it ceases to qualify as a REIT for any reason. In furtherance of its business, the operating partnership may enter into partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies or similar arrangements and may own interests in any other entity engaged, directly or indirectly, in any of the foregoing.
As the general partner of the operating partnership, Vornado Realty Trust has the exclusive power and authority to conduct the business of the operating partnership, except that the consent of the limited partners is required in some limited circumstances discussed under "—Meetings and Voting" below. No limited partner may take part in the operation, management or control of the business of the operating partnership by virtue of being a holder of units.
In particular, the limited partners expressly acknowledge in the partnership agreement that the general partner is acting on behalf of the operating partnership and the shareholders of Vornado Realty Trust collectively, and is under no obligation to consider the tax consequences to, or other separate interests of, limited partners when making decisions on behalf of the operating partnership. Except as required by lockup agreements described below, Vornado Realty Trust intends to make decisions in its capacity as general partner of the operating partnership taking into account its interests and the operating partnership as a whole, independent of the tax effects on the limited partners. See "—Borrowing by the Operating Partnership" below for a discussion of lockup agreements. Vornado Realty Trust and its trustees and officers will have no liability to the operating partnership or to any partner or assignee for any losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or any act or omission if it acted in good faith.
Ability to Engage in Other Businesses; Conflicts of Interest
Vornado Realty Trust generally may not conduct any business other than through the operating partnership without the consent of the holders of a majority of the common limited partnership interests, excluding the limited partnership interests held by it. Other persons including Vornado Realty Trust’s officers, trustees, employees, agents and its other affiliates are not prohibited under the partnership agreement from engaging in other business activities and are not required to present any business opportunities to the operating partnership. In addition, the partnership agreement does not prevent another person or entity that acquires control of
3


Vornado Realty Trust in the future from conducting other businesses or owning other assets, even though those businesses or assets may be ones that it would be in the best interests of the limited partners for the operating partnership to own.
Borrowing by the Operating Partnership
Vornado Realty Trust is authorized to cause the operating partnership to borrow money and to issue and guarantee debt as it deems necessary for the conduct of the activities of the operating partnership. The operating partnership's debt may be secured by mortgages, deeds of trust, liens or encumbrances on the operating partnership's properties. Vornado Realty Trust also may cause the operating partnership to borrow money to enable the operating partnership to make distributions, including distributions in an amount sufficient to permit us to avoid the payment of any federal income tax.
From time to time in connection with acquisitions of properties or other assets in exchange for limited partner interests in the operating partnership, Vornado Realty Trust and the operating partnership have entered into contractual arrangements that impose restrictions on the operating partnership's ability to sell, finance, refinance and, in some instances, pay down existing financing on certain of the operating partnership's properties or other assets. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as "lockup agreements" and include, for example, arrangements in which the operating partnership agrees that it will not sell the property or other assets in question for a period of years unless the operating partnership also pays the contributing partner a portion of the federal income tax liability that will accrue to that partner as a result of the sale. Arrangements of this kind may significantly reduce the operating partnership's ability to sell, finance or repay indebtedness secured by the subject properties or assets. Vornado Realty Trust expects to cause the operating partnership to continue entering into transactions of this type in the future and may do so without obtaining the consent of any partners in the operating partnership.
Reimbursement; Transactions with Vornado Realty Trust and Its Affiliates
    Vornado Realty Trust does not receive any compensation for its services as general partner of the operating partnership. However, as a partner in the operating partnership, it has the same right to allocations and distributions with respect to the units it holds as other partners in the operating partnership holding the same classes of units. In addition, the operating partnership reimburses Vornado Realty Trust for all expenses it incurs relating to its ongoing operations and any offering of additional partnership interests in the operating partnership, its securities or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, including expenses in connection with the registration of Vornado Realty Trust’s common shares for issuance in exchange for units if it assumes the obligation to redeem units and elects to redeem them for common shares instead of cash when a limited partner in the operating partnership exercises the right to redeem units. See "Redemption or Conversion of Units" above for further information about the right to redeem units.
    Except as expressly permitted by the partnership agreement, the operating partnership will not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, any partner in the operating partnership or any affiliate of the operating partnership or Vornado Realty Trust that is not also a subsidiary of the operating partnership, except in a transaction that has been approved by a majority of Vornado Realty Trust’s disinterested trustees, taking into account its fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the operating partnership.
Vornado Realty Trust’s Liability and Limited Partners
Vornado Realty Trust, as general partner of the operating partnership, is liable for all general recourse obligations of the operating partnership to the extent not paid by the operating partnership. Vornado Realty Trust is not liable for the nonrecourse obligations of the operating partnership.
The limited partners in the operating partnership are not required to make additional contributions to the operating partnership. Assuming that a limited partner does not take part in the control of the business of the operating partnership and otherwise complies with the provisions of the partnership agreement, the liability of a limited partner for obligations of the operating partnership under the partnership agreement and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act will be limited, with some exceptions, generally to the loss of the limited partner's investment in the operating partnership represented by his or her units. Under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, a limited partner may not receive a distribution from the operating partnership if, at the time of the distribution and after giving effect to the distribution, the liabilities of the operating partnership, other than liabilities to parties on account of their interests in the operating partnership and liabilities for which recourse is limited to specified property of the operating partnership, exceed the fair value of the operating partnership's assets, other than the fair value of any property subject to nonrecourse liabilities of the operating partnership, but only to the extent of such liabilities. The Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act provides that a limited partner who receives a distribution knowing at the time that it violates the foregoing prohibition is liable to the operating partnership for the amount of the distribution. Unless otherwise agreed, a limited partner in the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will not be liable for the return of the distribution after the expiration of three years from the date of the distribution.
The operating partnership has qualified to conduct business in the State of New York and may qualify in certain other jurisdictions. Maintenance of limited liability status may require compliance with legal requirements of those jurisdictions and some other jurisdictions. Limitations on the liability of a limited partner for the obligations of a limited partnership have not been clearly established in many jurisdictions. Accordingly, if it were determined that the right, or exercise of the right by the limited partners, to make some amendments to the partnership agreement or to take other action under the partnership agreement constituted "control" of
4


the operating partnership's business for the purposes of the statutes of any relevant jurisdiction, the limited partners might be held personally liable for the operating partnership's obligations.
Exculpation and Indemnification of Vornado Realty Trust
The partnership agreement generally provides that Vornado Realty Trust, as general partner of the operating partnership, will incur no liability to the operating partnership or any limited partner for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or any act or omission, if it acted in good faith. In addition, Vornado Realty Trust is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of its agents, provided it appointed those agents in good faith. Vornado Realty Trust may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisors, and any action it takes or omits to take in reliance upon the opinion of those persons, as to matters that it reasonably believes to be within their professional or expert competence, will be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of those persons.
The partnership agreement also provides for indemnification of Vornado Realty Trust and the indemnification of its trustees and officers and any other persons that it may from time to time designate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred by an indemnified person in connection with any proceeding and related to the operating partnership or Vornado Realty Trust, the formation and operations of the operating partnership or Vornado Realty Trust or the ownership of property by the operating partnership or Vornado Realty Trust, unless it is established by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that:
the act or omission of the indemnified person was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;
the indemnified person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
Sales of Assets
Under the partnership agreement, Vornado Realty Trust generally has the exclusive authority to determine whether, when and on what terms assets of the operating partnership will be sold, as long as any sale of a property covered by a lockup agreement complies with such agreement. The partnership agreement prohibits Vornado Realty Trust from engaging in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another person, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of the terms of any outstanding common shares unless, in connection with the transaction, all limited partners other than Vornado Realty Trust and entities controlled by Vornado Realty Trust will have the right to elect to receive, or will receive, for each unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the conversion factor multiplied by the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of shares of beneficial interest of Vornado, if any, corresponding to that unit in consideration of one share of that kind. Vornado Realty Trust refers to transactions described in the preceding sentence as "termination transactions." The conversion factor is initially 1.0, but will be adjusted as necessary to prevent dilution or inflation of the interests of limited partners that would result if Vornado Realty Trust were to pay a dividend on its outstanding shares of beneficial interest in shares of beneficial interest, subdivide its outstanding shares of beneficial interest or combine its outstanding shares of beneficial interest into a smaller number of shares, in each case without a corresponding issuance to, or redemption or exchange of interests held by, limited partners in the operating partnership.
See "—Borrowing by the Operating Partnership" above for information about lockup agreements which limit the ability of Vornado Realty Trust to sell some of its properties.
Removal of the General Partner; Transfer of Interests of Vornado Realty Trust
The partnership agreement provides that the limited partners may not remove Vornado Realty Trust as general partner of the operating partnership with or without cause. The partnership agreement also generally prohibits Vornado Realty Trust from withdrawing as general partner of the operating partnership or transferring any of its interests in the operating partnership to any other person, except in each case, in connection with a termination transaction. In addition, the partnership agreement prohibits Vornado Realty Trust from engaging in any termination transaction unless all limited partners other than Vornado Realty Trust and entities controlled by Vornado Realty Trust will have the right in the termination transaction to elect to receive, or will receive, for each unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the conversion factor multiplied by the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of shares of beneficial interest of Vornado, if any, corresponding to that unit in consideration of one share of Vornado. The lock-up provisions and the gross-up provisions do not apply to a sale or other transfer by Vornado Realty Trust of is interests as a partner in the operating partnership, but they would apply to transfers of assets of the operating partnership undertaken during the period when the lock-up agreements are in effect as part of any sale or other transfer by Vornado Realty Trust of its interests as a partner in the operating partnership. See "—Borrowing by the Operating Partnership" for a description of the restrictions on transfers of assets under the lock-up agreements.
The partnership agreement does not prevent a transaction in which another entity acquires control or all of Vornado Realty Trust’s shares nor does it prevent any holder of interests in Vornado Realty Trust from owning assets or conducting businesses outside of the operating partnership.
Restrictions on Transfers of Units by Limited Partners
5


Subject to the percentage limitations discussed below, a limited partner, other than Vornado Realty Trust and some members of the Mendik group and FW/Mendik REIT, is permitted to transfer all or any portion of his or her units without restriction, provided that the limited partner obtains the prior written consent of Vornado Realty Trust, which it may withhold only if (a) it determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that the transfer would cause the operating partnership or any or all of the partners other than the partner seeking to make the transfer to incur tax liability or (b) if it determines that any of the circumstances referred to in the next paragraph exist. In addition, limited partners other than Vornado Realty Trust or any of its subsidiaries are permitted to dispose of their units by exercising their right to redeem units as described under "Redemption and Conversion of Units" above.
Vornado Realty Trust may withhold its consent to any proposed transfer (including any sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition by law or otherwise, and including any redemption pursuant to the redemption rights described under "—Redemption or Conversion of Units" above) for a variety of reasons set forth in Article XI of the partnership agreement. These reasons include, without limitation, a determination by Vornado Realty Trust, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the transfer in question would (i) cause a termination of the operating partnership for tax purposes, (ii) cause the operating partnership to become a "party-in-interest" or a "disqualified person" with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, (iii) cause the operating partnership to become a publicly-traded partnership (as defined in Section 469(k)(2) or Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code), (iv) cause the operating partnership to become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or ERISA, (v) adversely affect Vornado Realty Trust’s ability to continue to qualify as a REIT or (vi) subject Vornado Realty Trust or the operating partnership to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, no partner of the operating partnership may pledge or transfer any of its units to a lender to the operating partnership or any person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Treasury regulations) to any lender to the operating partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability without the consent of Vornado Realty Trust, in its sole and absolute discretion, and without entering into an agreement with Vornado Realty Trust as described in the partnership agreement. The partnership agreement also provides that unless exempt due to a waiver granted by Vornado Realty Trust, no limited partnership interest in the operating partnership or portion thereof may be transferred in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, if such transfer would cause (i) any “foreign person” (as such term is used in Section 897(h)(4)(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) who already owns any limited partnership interest, to increase its direct or indirect ownership of limited partnership interests, or (ii) any foreign person, other than an a foreign person that owns any direct or indirect interest in the operating partnership on and as of August 7, 2019, to directly or indirectly own any such limited partnership interests. Any purported transfer to a foreign person in violation of the foregoing shall be deemed void ab initio and shall have no force or effect.
Transfers of operating partnership units (other than "private transfers" as defined in the regulations under the Internal Revenue Code) are limited in any one taxable year of the operating partnership to 2% of the interests in capital or profits not held by Vornado Realty Trust or certain of its affiliates, and Vornado Realty Trust has the right and currently intends to refuse to permit any attempted transfer of operating partnership units by a holder of such units that, when aggregated with prior redemptions and transfers by other holders of operating partnership units, would exceed this limit. In addition, redemptions of operating partnership units by the operating partnership pursuant to the redemption right of such units and transfers of operating partnership units to Vornado Realty Trust as a result of its assumption and performance of the operating partnership's obligation with respect to the redemption right of units, together with other transfers and redemptions (other than certain of the redemptions or transfers qualifying as "private transfers" under the regulations under Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code), are limited in any one taxable year to 10% of the interests in capital or profits not held by Vornado Realty Trust or certain of its affiliates, and it has the right and currently intends to refuse to permit certain redemptions and other transfers of operating partnership units that, when aggregated with prior redemptions and transfers, would exceed this limit.
Any permitted transferee of units may become a substituted limited partner only with Vornado Realty Trust’s consent, and it may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion. If it does not consent to the admission of a transferee of units as a substituted limited partner, then the transferee will succeed to the economic rights and benefits attributable to the units, including the right to redeem units, but will not become a limited partner or possess any other rights of limited partners, including the right to vote.
No Withdrawal by Limited Partners
No limited partner has the right to withdraw from or reduce his or her capital contribution to the operating partnership, except as a result of the redemption, exchange or transfer of units under the terms of the partnership agreement.
Issuance of Limited Partnership Interests
Vornado Realty Trust is authorized, without the consent of the limited partners, to cause the operating partnership to issue limited partnership interests to Vornado Realty Trust, to the limited partners and to other persons for the consideration and upon the terms and conditions that it deems appropriate. The operating partnership also may issue partnership interests in different series or classes. Units may be issued to Vornado Realty Trust only if it issues shares of beneficial interest and contributes to the operating partnership the proceeds received by it from the issuance of the shares. Consideration for partnership interests may be cash or any property or other assets permitted by the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Except to the extent expressly granted by Vornado Realty Trust on behalf of the partnership pursuant to another agreement, no limited partner has preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to capital contributions to the operating partnership or the issuance or sale of any partnership interests.

6


Meetings and Voting
Meetings of the limited partners may be proposed and called only by Vornado Realty Trust. Limited partners may vote either in person or by proxy at meetings. Any action that is required or permitted to be taken by the limited partners may be taken either at a meeting of the limited partners or without a meeting if consents in writing stating the action so taken are signed by limited partners owning not less than the minimum number of units that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of the limited partners at which all limited partners entitled to vote on the action were present. On matters in which limited partners are entitled to vote, each limited partner, including Vornado Realty Trust to the extent it holds units, will have a vote equal to the number of common units he or she holds. At this time, there is no voting preference among the classes of common units. The preferred units have no voting rights, except as required by law or the terms of a particular series of preferred units. A transferee of units who has not been admitted as a substituted limited partner with respect to his or her transferred units will have no voting rights with respect to those units, even if the transferee holds other units as to which he or she has been admitted as a limited partner, and units owned by the transferee will be deemed to be voted on any matter in the same proportion as all other interests held by limited partners are voted. The partnership agreement does not provide for annual meetings of the limited partners, and Vornado Realty Trust does not anticipate calling such meetings.
Amendment of the Partnership Agreement
Amendments to the partnership agreement may be proposed only by Vornado Realty Trust. Vornado Realty Trust generally has the power, without the consent of any limited partners, to amend the partnership agreement as may be required to reflect any changes to the agreement that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion, provided that the amendment does not adversely affect or eliminate any right granted to a limited partner that is protected by the special voting provisions described below. Limitations on its power to amend the partnership agreement are described below.
The partnership agreement provides that it generally may not be amended with respect to any partner adversely affected by the amendment without the consent of that partner if the amendment would:
convert a limited partner's interest into a general partner's interest;
modify the limited liability of a limited partner;
amend Section 7.11.A, which prohibits Vornado Realty Trust from taking any action in contravention of an express prohibition or limitation in the partnership agreement without the written consent of all partners adversely affected by the action or any lower percentage of the limited partnership interests that may be specifically provided for in the partnership agreement or under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act;
amend Article V, which governs distributions, Article VI, which governs allocations of income and loss for capital account purposes, or Section 13.2.A(3), which provides for distributions, after payment of partnership debts, among partners according to their capital accounts upon a winding up of the operating partnership;
amend Section 8.6, which provides redemption rights; or
amend the provision being described in this paragraph.

In addition, except with the consent of a majority of the common limited partners, excluding Vornado Realty Trust and entities controlled by Vornado Realty Trust, Vornado Realty Trust may not amend:
Section 4.2.A, which authorizes issuance of additional limited partnership interests;
Section 5.1.C, which requires that if Vornado Realty Trust is not a REIT or a publicly traded entity it must for each taxable year make cash distributions equal to at least 95% of the operating partnership's taxable income;
Section 7.5, which prohibits Vornado Realty Trust from conducting any business other than in connection with the ownership of interests in the operating partnership except with the consent of a majority of the common limited partners, excluding Vornado Realty Trust and any entity controlled by Vornado Realty Trust;
Section 7.6, which limits the operating partnership's ability to enter into transactions with affiliates;
Section 7.8, which establishes limits on Vornado Realty Trust’s liabilities to the operating partnership and the limited partners;
Section 11.2, which limits Vornado Realty Trust’ ability to transfer its interests in the operating partnership;
Section 13.1, which describes the manner and circumstances in which the operating partnership will be dissolved;
Section 14.1.C, which establishes the limitations on amendments being described in this paragraph; or
Section 14.2, which establishes the rules governing meetings of partners.
 In addition, any amendment that would affect those lockup agreements that are part of the partnership agreement requires the consent of 75% of the limited partners benefited by those lockup agreements, with some exceptions. See "—Borrowing by the Operating Partnership" above for information about the lockup agreements.
Books and Reports
Vornado Realty Trust is required to keep the operating partnership's books and records at the principal office of the operating partnership. The books of the operating partnership are required to be maintained for financial and tax reporting purposes on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which we refer to as "GAAP." The limited partners have the right, with some limitations, to receive copies of the most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC by Vornado Realty Trust, the operating partnership's federal, state and local income tax returns, a list of limited partners, the partnership agreement
7


and the partnership certificate and all amendments to the partnership certificate. Vornado Realty Trust may keep confidential from the limited partners any information that it believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information whose disclosure it in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the operating partnership or which the operating partnership is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.
Vornado Realty Trust will furnish to each limited partner, no later than the date on which it mails its annual report to its shareholders, an annual report containing financial statements of the operating partnership, or of Vornado Realty Trust, if it prepares consolidated financial statements including the operating partnership, for each fiscal year, presented in accordance with GAAP. The financial statements will be audited by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by Vornado Realty Trust. In addition, if and to the extent that it mails quarterly reports to its shareholders, Vornado Realty Trust will furnish to each limited partner, no later than the date on which it mails the quarterly reports to its shareholders, a report containing unaudited financial statements of the operating partnership, or of Vornado Realty Trust, if the reports are prepared on a consolidated basis, as of the last day of the quarter and any other information that may be required by applicable law or regulation or that it deems appropriate.
The operating partnership is presently subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and in accordance therewith, files reports and other information with the SEC. Such reports and other information are also available from the SEC's Internet site (https://www.sec.gov).
Vornado Realty Trust will use reasonable efforts to furnish to each limited partner, within 90 days after the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by the limited partners for Federal and state income tax reporting purposes.

The Award LTIP Units shall be eligible for vesting following a three-year performance period, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 hereof, based on a combination of (I) the Company’s operational performance over a one-year period (or a shorter period in certain circumstances as provided herein) as indicated by the calculations required by this Section 3 and (II) the Company’s total shareholder return over a three-year period (or a shorter period in certain circumstances as provided herein) as indicated by the calculations required by this Section 3. Vesting will occur at the times, in the amounts and upon the conditions set forth in this Section 3 and in Section 4, provided that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Continuous Service of the Grantee continues through and on each applicable vesting date.
(b)Operational Units. Subject to the provisions of Section 4 below, the portion of the Award consisting of Operational LTIP Units will initially be earned based on the Company’s achievement of certain operational performance metrics (the “Operational Performance Metrics”) during the Operational Performance Period. The Operational Performance Metrics, and relative percentages associated with such Operational Performance Metrics, are set forth in Section 1 of Schedule B, with each Operational Performance Metric being weighted as indicated below and utilizing linear interpolation for performance between levels. Following the end of the Operational Performance Period, the Committee will determine the “Initial Earned Operational Amount,” which equals the product of (i) the Operational LTIP Units multiplied by (ii) the percentage determined pursuant to the table set forth in Section 1 of Schedule B. The number of Operational LTIP Units ultimately earned will remain subject to adjustment based on Absolute TSR as set forth in Section 3(d) below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Operational Performance Period ends earlier than it otherwise would have ended due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, all of the Operational Performance Metrics will be deemed to have been achieved at the target level and, as a result, the Initial Earned Operational Amount will equal 50% of the Operational LTIP Units set forth on Schedule A.
(c)As soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Operational Performance Period, the Committee will in good faith determine the number of Operational LTIP Units that constitute the Initial Earned Operational Amount based upon the Company’s achievement of the Operational Performance Metrics set forth above. Upon such determination,
    11


    
any portion of the Operational LTIP Units that can no longer be earned by the Grantee pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (i.e., the number of Operational LTIP Units set forth on Schedule A, if any, in excess of the Initial Earned Operational Amount) shall thereupon, and with no further action, be forfeited by the Grantee.
(d)Operational Unit TSR Modifier. Subject to Section 3(e) below, the number of Operational LTIP Units that are earned will equal the product of (i) the Initial Earned Operational Amount multiplied by (ii) the algebraic sum of 100% and the Operational Unit TSR Modifier determined in accordance with the table set forth in Section 2 of Schedule B based on Absolute TSR over the TSR Performance Period (with linear interpolation between levels).
(e)As soon as practicable following the end of the TSR Performance Period, the Committee will in good faith determine the Operational Unit TSR Modifier and the number of Operational LTIP Units earned by the Grantee pursuant to Section 3(d) above (the “Earned Operational LTIP Units”), which will equal the product of (i) the Initial Earned Operational Amount multiplied by (ii) the algebraic sum of 100% and the Operational Unit TSR Modifier. No Operational LTIP Units will vest until such determination of the Earned Operational LTIP Units.
(f)In the event that the TSR Performance Period ends earlier than it otherwise would have ended due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the number of Earned Operational Units will be calculated pursuant to Section 3(d) based on Absolute TSR as of the date of such Change in Control, provided that the percentages set forth in the “Absolute TSR” column of the table set forth in Section 2 of Schedule B corresponding to “Medium” performance and “High” performance shall be prorated by dividing the applicable percentage by the number of whole and fractional years in the TSR Performance Period.
(g)Index Relative TSR LTIP Units. Subject to Section 3(i) below, the number of Index Relative TSR LTIP Units that are initially earned by the Grantee will be determined pursuant to the table set forth in Section 3 of Schedule B based on Index Relative TSR over the TSR Performance Period (with linear interpolation between levels).
(h)As soon as practicable following the end of the TSR Performance Period, the Committee will in good faith determine Index Relative TSR and the number of Index Relative TSR LTIP Units earned by the Grantee pursuant to Section 3(g) above (the “Initial Earned Index Relative TSR Amount). The Initial Earned Index Relative TSR Amount will remain subject to adjustment based on Absolute TSR as set forth in Section 3(m) below.
(i)In the event that the TSR Performance Period ends earlier than it otherwise would have ended due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Initial Earned Index Relative TSR Amount shall equal the number of Index Relative TSR LTIP Units that would be earned pursuant to Section 3(g) based on Index Relative TSR as of the date of the Change in Control without proration of the number of Index Relative TSR LTIP Units earned.
(j)Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units. Subject to 3(l) below, the number of Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units that are initially earned by the Grantee will be
    12


    
determined pursuant to the table set forth in Section 4 of Schedule B based on Northeast Peer Relative TSR over the TSR Performance Period (with linear interpolation between levels).
(k)As soon as practicable following the end of the TSR Performance Period, the Committee will in good faith determine the Northeast Peer Relative TSR and the number of Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units earned by the Grantee pursuant to Section 3(j) above (the “Initial Earned Northeast Peer Relative TSR Amount”). The Initial Earned Northeast Peer Relative TSR Amount will remain subject to adjustment based on Absolute TSR as set forth in Section 3(m) below.
(l)In the event that the TSR Performance Period ends earlier than it otherwise would have ended due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Initial Earned Northeast Peer Relative TSR Amount shall equal the number of Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units that would be earned pursuant to Section 3(j) based on Northeast Peer Relative TSR as of the date of the Change in Control without proration of the number of Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units earned.
(m)Relative Unit TSR Modifier. Subject to Section 3(n) below, the number of Index Relative TSR LTIP Units and Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units that are earned will equal the product of (i) the sum of (a) the Initial Earned Index Relative TSR Amount plus (b) the Initial Earned Northeast Peer Relative TSR Amount multiplied by (ii) the algebraic sum of 100% and the Relative Unit TSR Modifier determined in accordance with the table set forth in Section 5 of Schedule B based on Absolute TSR over the TSR Performance Period (with linear interpolation between levels).

(n)As soon as practicable following the end of the TSR Performance Period, the Committee will in good faith determine the Relative Unit TSR Modifier and the number of Index Relative TSR LTIP Units and Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units earned by the Grantee pursuant to Sections 3(g) and 3(j), respectively, above (the “Earned Relative LTIP Units”), which will equal the product of (i) the sum of (a) the Initial Earned Index Relative TSR Amount plus (b) the Initial Earned Northeast Peer Relative TSR Amount multiplied by (ii) the algebraic sum of 100% and the Relative Unit TSR Modifier. No Earned Relative LTIP Units will vest until such determination of the Earned Relative LTIP Units.
(o)In the event that the TSR Performance Period ends earlier than it otherwise would have ended due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the number of Earned Relative Units will be calculated pursuant to Section 3(n) based on the Company’s Absolute TSR as of the date of such Change in Control, provided that the percentages set forth in the “Absolute TSR” column of the table set forth in Section 5 of Schedule B corresponding to “Medium” performance and “High” performance shall be prorated by dividing the applicable percentage by the number of whole and fractional years in the TSR Performance Period.
(p)If the Grantee earns any Award LTIP Units as of the Final Valuation Date pursuant to the calculations set forth in Sections 3(b)-(o) hereof (the “Earned Performance LTIP Units”), then, as of the date on which such Award LTIP Units are earned, the Grantee will also earn an additional number of Award LTIP Units equal to the sum of the following
    13


    
calculations, which will be performed by the Committee (the “Earned Distribution LTIP Units”):
(I)    For each Dividend Payment between the Effective Date and the date as of which such Earned Performance LTIP units are earned, calculate the following number of additional Award LTIP Units:
(W*X)
Z

Where:
W = the sum of (i) the number of Earned Performance LTIP Units earned as of the Final Valuation Date pursuant to Sections 3(b)-(o) hereof, minus (ii) the number of Non-Adjustable Operational LTIP Units, if any, plus (iii) any Earned Distribution LTIP Units earned for any prior Dividend Payment, (iv) 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 Earned Distribution LTIP Units shall be added to the sum of the Earned Performance LTIP Units (the “Earned LTIP Units”) and be subject to vesting pursuant to Section 3(q) hereof and to all of the provisions of Section 4 hereof applicable to the other Award LTIP Units that have been earned pursuant to the calculations set forth in Sections 3(b)-(o) hereof. If the total number of Earned LTIP Units is less than the number of Award LTIP Units initially issued to the Grantee, then, immediately following the calculations set forth in this Section 3(p), the amount of such excess (i.e., the difference obtained by subtracting the total number of Earned LTIP Units from the total number of Award LTIP Units) shall thereupon, and with no further action, be forfeited by the Grantee (for the avoidance of doubt, forfeited Award LTIP Units may be, as applicable, Operational LTIP Units, Index Relative TSR LTIP Units and/or Northeast Peer Relative TSR LTIP Units that were not earned based on the calculations set forth in Section 3(b)-(o) hereof, after determination of this number of Earned Distribution LTIP Units pursuant to this Section 3(p)). If the determination of the number of Earned Distribution LTIP Units pursuant to this Section 3(p) causes the total number of Earned LTIP Units to be greater than the number of Award LTIP Units previously issued to the Grantee, then, upon the performance of the calculations set forth in this Section 3(p): (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 LTIP 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 LTIP Units will refer collectively to
    14


    
the Award LTIP 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 may reasonably request in order to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws.
(q)The Earned LTIP Units, if any, 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)fifty percent (50%) of the Earned LTIP Units shall become vested on January 12, 2025; and
(ii)fifty percent (50%) of the Earned LTIP Units shall become vested on January 12, 2026.
To the extent that Schedule A provides for amounts or schedules of vesting that conflict with the provisions of this Section 3(q), the provisions of Schedule A will govern. If the number of the Earned LTIP Units has not yet been determined by the Committee on any vesting date set forth above, then the Earned LTIP Units will vest on the date of such determination; provided that, for avoidance of doubt, continued employment beyond the vesting date listed above will not be required in order for any such vesting to occur.
(r)Any Award LTIP Units that do not become vested pursuant to this Section 3 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 LTIP Units.
(s)Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and the termination of employment of the Grantee with the Company or its Affiliates within twenty-four (24) months of such Change in Control by the Company (or its successor) without Cause or by the Grantee with Good Reason, then the Award LTIP Units that have been earned based on performance as determined pursuant to this Section 3 shall vest immediately (except to the extent that Award LTIP Units have been previously forfeited).
(t)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 Sections 3(b)-3(o) hereof and the exercise of any election, voting or other
    15


    
rights pursuant to this Section 3(t) shall be conditioned upon the final consummation of such Change in Control.
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 LTIP 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 LTIP 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 LTIP 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 LTIP Units in the event of death or Disability.
(b)In the event of termination of the Grantee’s Continuous Service by (i) the Company without Cause, (ii) the Grantee for Good Reason, or (iii) the Grantee upon Retirement (each a “Qualified Termination”) prior to the Final Valuation Date, then the Grantee will not forfeit the Award LTIP Units upon such termination, but the following provisions of this Section 4(b) shall modify the calculations required to determine the Earned LTIP Units and/or the vesting of the Earned LTIP Units, as applicable, with respect to the Grantee only:
(i)the calculations provided in Sections 3(b)-3(o) hereof shall be performed as of the Final Valuation Date as if the Qualified Termination had not occurred; and
(ii)the Grantee’s Earned LTIP Units shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(r) hereof; provided that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 3(q) 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 LTIP Units or request redemption of his or her Award Partnership Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Earned LTIP Units would have
    16


    
become vested pursuant to Section 3(q) hereof absent a Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(b)(ii) is to prevent a situation where grantees of 2022 PB LTIP awards who have had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of their Award LTIP Units or Award Partnership Units (through Transfer or redemption) before other grantees of 2022 PB LTIP awards whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 3(q) hereof.
(c)In the event of Qualified Termination on or after the Final Valuation Date, then all of the Grantee’s unvested Award LTIP Units that have not previously been forfeited pursuant to the calculations set forth in Sections 3(b)-3(o) hereof, but remain subject to time-based vesting pursuant to Section 3(q) hereof as of the time of such Qualified Termination shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(r) hereof; provided that, notwithstanding that no Continuous Service requirement pursuant to Section 3(q) 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 LTIP Units or request redemption of his or her Award Partnership Units under the Partnership Agreement until such dates as of which his or her Earned LTIP Units would have become vested pursuant to Section 3(q) absent a Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of this Section 4(c) is to prevent a situation where grantees of 2022 PB LTIP awards who have had a Qualified Termination would be able to realize the value of their Award LTIP Units or Award Partnership Units (through Transfer or redemption) before other grantees of 2022 PB LTIP awards whose Continuous Service continues through the applicable vesting dates set forth in Section 3(q) 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 LTIP Units, but the following provisions of this Section 4(e) shall apply:
(i)the calculations provided in Sections 3(b)-3(o) hereof shall be performed as of the Final Valuation Date as if the Grantee’s death or Disability had not occurred; and
(ii)100% of the Grantee’s Earned LTIP Units shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(r) 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 Earned LTIP Units shall no longer be subject to forfeiture pursuant to Section 3(r) hereof and shall automatically and immediately vest as of such termination date.

    17


    
(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 LTIP Units except for those that, as of the date at such termination, both (i) have been earned pursuant to the calculations set forth in Sections 3(b)-(o) hereof, and (ii) have vested pursuant to Section 3(q) 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 LTIP 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 LTIP Units specified on Schedule A hereto, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified herein. Award LTIP 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 LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to such Award LTIP 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 any Award LTIP Unit (to the extent provided in Section 6(c) below) shall be (i) the date as of which the Initial Earned Operational Amount is determined with respect to a number of Operational LTIP Units equal to the product of (A) the Initial Earned Operational Amount multiplied by (B) the algebraic sum of 100% and the Operational Unit TSR Modifier corresponding with “Low” performance as set forth in Section 2 of Schedule B hereto (the “Non-Adjustable Operational LTIP Units”) and (ii) the date as of which such Award LTIP Unit is determined to be an Earned LTIP Unit with respect to all other Award LTIP Units, 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 LTIP 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 Award LTIP Units.

    18


    
(d)Each Award LTIP Unit shall be considered a Special LTIP Unit (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and as such the: (i) LTIP Unit Initial Sharing Percentage (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) shall be ten percent (10%) and (ii) Award LTIP Units shall not be entitled to receive distributions prior to the applicable Distribution Participation Date. On the applicable Distribution Participation Date, Award LTIP 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 LTIP Units shall be the Effective Date and all of the Award LTIP 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). In addition, on the Distribution Participation Date for each Non-Adjustable Operational LTIP Unit, the Employer Entity will pay the Grantee, for each such Non-Adjustable Operational LTIP Unit, an amount in cash equal to (i) the product of (A) the per share amount of all dividends declared with respect to the Common Shares with a record date on or after the first day of the TSR Performance Period and before the Distribution Participation Date for such Non-Adjustable Operational LTIP Unit (other than those with respect to which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 8 hereof) multiplied by (B) the Conversion Factor (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) less (ii) the amount of the Special LTIP Unit Distribution (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) payable with respect to such Non-Adjustable Operational LTIP Unit.
(e)For the avoidance of doubt, after the applicable Distribution Participation Date, Award LTIP Units, both vested and (until and unless forfeited pursuant to Section 3(r) 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.
(f)All distributions paid with respect to Award LTIP 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 LTIP Units may be subject to forfeiture or have not yet become, or never become, vested pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 hereof.
7.Restrictions on Transfer. Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, none of the Award LTIP Units granted hereunder nor any of the Partnership Units of the Partnership into which such Award LTIP 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 [three][one] year[s] after the Award LTIP Units have become vested and (b) is at least two (2) years after the Effective Date, (i) Award LTIP 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; (ii) Award LTIP 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; and (iii) the Redemption
    19


    
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. 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 LTIP 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 LTIP 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 LTIP 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 LTIP 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 LTIP 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, spin-off of a Subsidiary, business unit or significant portion of its assets or other transaction similar thereto, (ii) any 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 Award LTIP 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 Award LTIP 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, the Partnership and the Employer Entity 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
    20


    
Company, the Partnership and the Employer Entity 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 Award LTIP Units under the Share Plan. This Award and the other 2022 PB LTIP awards constitute awards of OP Units (as defined in the 2019 Plan) by the Company under the 2019 Plan. The Award LTIP Units are interests in the Partnership. The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Share Plan underlying outstanding Award LTIP 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 LTIP Units in compliance with applicable federal and state 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 LTIP Units shall bear an appropriate legend, as determined by the Partnership in its sole discretion, to the effect that such Award LTIP 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 Award LTIP 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 Award LTIP Units or any other securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or upon conversion or exchange of Award LTIP Units. The Grantee agrees that any resale of the shares of Common Shares received upon the exchange of Units into which Award LTIP Units
    21

The Grantee also acknowledges that any delivery of the Background Documents and other information relating to the Company and the Partnership prior to the determination by the Partnership of the suitability of the Grantee as a holder of LTIP Units shall not constitute an offer of LTIP Units until such determination of suitability shall be made.
(b)    The Grantee hereby represents and warrants that
(i)    The Grantee either (A) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (B) by reason of the business and financial experience of the Grantee, together with the business and financial experience of those persons, if any, retained by the Grantee to represent or advise him with respect to the grant to him of LTIP Units, the potential conversion of LTIP Units into Class A Units of the Partnership (“Common Units”) and the potential redemption of such Common Units for the Company’s Common Shares (“REIT Shares”), has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type that the Grantee (I) is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Partnership and potential investment in the Company and of making an informed investment decision, (II) is
28



capable of protecting his own interest or has engaged representatives or advisors to assist him in protecting his interests, and (III) is capable of bearing the economic risk of such investment.
(ii)    The Grantee, after due inquiry, hereby certifies that for purposes of Rule 506(d) and Rule 506(e) of the Securities Act, he is not subject to any felony or misdemeanor conviction related to any securities matter; any federal or state order, judgment, decree or injunction related to any securities, insurance, banking or U.S. Postal Service matter; any SEC disciplinary or cease and desist order; or any suspension, expulsion or bar related to a registered national securities exchange, national or affiliated securities association or member thereof, whether it occurred or was issued before, on or after September 23, 2013, and agrees that he will notify the Company immediately upon becoming aware that the foregoing is not, or is no longer, complete and accurate in every material respect, including as a result of events occurring after the date hereof.
(iii)    The Grantee understands that (A) the Grantee is responsible for consulting his own tax advisors with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws, and the tax laws of any state, local or other taxing jurisdiction to which the Grantee is or by reason of the award of LTIP Units may become subject, to his particular situation; (B) the Grantee has not received or relied upon business or tax advice from the Company, the Partnership or any of their respective employees, agents, consultants or advisors, in their capacity as such; (C) the Grantee provides or will provide services to the Partnership on a regular basis and in such capacity has access to such information, and has such experience of and involvement in the business and operations of the Partnership, as the Grantee believes to be necessary and appropriate to make an informed decision to accept this Award of LTIP Units; and (D) an investment in the Partnership and/or the Company involves substantial risks. The Grantee has been given the opportunity to make a thorough investigation of matters relevant to the LTIP Units and has been furnished with, and has reviewed and understands, materials relating to the Partnership and the Company and their respective activities (including, but not limited to, the Background Documents).

The Grantee has relied upon, and is making its decision solely upon, the Background Documents and other written information provided to the Grantee by the Partnership or the Company.
(iv)    The LTIP Units to be issued, the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units and any REIT Shares issued in connection with the redemption of any such Common Units will be acquired for the account of the Grantee for investment only and not with a current view to, or with any intention of, a distribution or resale thereof, in whole or in part, or the grant of any participation therein, without prejudice, however, to the Grantee’s right (subject to the terms of the LTIP Units, the Share Plan and this Agreement) at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of his LTIP Units, Common Units or REIT Shares in compliance with the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, and subject, nevertheless, to the disposition of his assets being at all times within his control.

29



(v)    The Grantee acknowledges that (A) neither the LTIP Units to be issued, nor the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units, have been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws by reason of a specific exemption or exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and, if such LTIP Units or Common Units are represented by certificates, such certificates will bear a legend to such effect, (B) the reliance by the Partnership and the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Grantee contained herein, (C) such LTIP Units or Common Units, therefore, cannot be resold unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or unless an exemption from registration is available, (D) there is no public market for such LTIP Units and Common Units and (E) neither the Partnership nor the Company has any obligation or intention to register such LTIP Units or the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to take any action that would make available any exemption from the registration requirements of such laws, except, that, upon the redemption of the Common Units for REIT Shares, the Company may issue such REIT Shares under the Share Plan and pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act, to the extent that (I) the Grantee is eligible to receive such REIT Shares under the Share Plan at the time of such issuance, (II) the Company has filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the issuance of such REIT Shares and (III) such Form S-8 is effective at the time of the issuance of such REIT Shares. The Grantee hereby acknowledges that because of the restrictions on transfer or assignment of such LTIP Units acquired hereby and the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units which are set forth in the Partnership Agreement or this Agreement, the Grantee may have to bear the economic risk of his ownership of the LTIP Units acquired hereby and the Common Units issuable upon conversion of the LTIP Units for an indefinite period of time.
(vi)    The Grantee has determined that the LTIP Units are a suitable investment for the Grantee.
(vii)    No representations or warranties have been made to the Grantee by the Partnership or the Company, or any officer, trustee, shareholder, agent, or Affiliate of any of them, and the Grantee has received no information relating to an investment in the Partnership or the LTIP Units except the information specified in paragraph (b) above.
