Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (the "Company") held on March 26, 2014, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Plan (the "Plan") that permits the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors to make grants of restricted stock to employees at all levels, in addition to management personnel.  Due to the Company having fewer than fifty employees and the expectation that any restricted stock grants to non-management personnel would be relatively small, the Board of Directors believes that the aggregate grants to non-management employees in the current fiscal year would increase the total annual equity compensation by less than 2%.

Pursuant to the Plan, directors, management personnel of the Company and non-management employees selected by the Compensation Committee may be issued restricted stock awards.  The amendment does not increase the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan.  A copy of the Amended Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

On March 27, 2014, the Company entered into a Change in Control Agreement (the "Agreement") with Stephan A. Rapaglia, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company ("Employee").  The Agreement provides that if the Employee's employment with the Company terminates under certain circumstances within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control, as defined in the Agreement, the Company shall pay the Employee an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the Employee's base salary in effect at the date of the Change in Control and shall either: (a) continue in effect for a period of twelve months, for the benefit of the Employee and his family, life and health insurance, disability, medical and other benefit programs in which the Employee participates, provided that the Employee's continued participation is possible, or (b) if such continued participation is not possible, either (1) arrange to provide for the Employee and his family similar benefits for the same period, or (2) if the Company determines that it is impracticable to provide such similar benefits, provide the Employee with a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the cost to the Employee to purchase such benefits on his own. This Agreement is substantially similar to other existing Change in Control Agreements the Company has entered into with other senior executive officers.  A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

10.   Change in Control
 
The Committee shall have the authority to accelerate the time at which the Restrictions will lapse or to remove any such restriction upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" as defined by any one of the following events:
 
(a)   any Person who becomes the owner of 10% or more of the Company's total combined voting power of the total amount of outstanding Shares and, thereafter, individuals who were not Directors of the Company prior to the date such Person became such a 10% owner are elected as Directors pursuant to an arrangement or understanding with, or upon the request of or nomination by, such Person and constitute at least two of the Directors; or
 
(b)   there occurs a Change in Control of the Company of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 5.01 of Form 8-K pursuant to Section 13 or 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or in any other filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"); or
 
(c)   there occurs any solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of any Person other than the Directors of the Company and thereafter individuals who were not Directors prior to the commencement of such solicitation are elected as Directors pursuant to an arrangement or understanding with, or upon the request of or nomination by, such Person and constitute at least two of the Directors; or
 
(d)   the Company executes an agreement of acquisition, merger or consolidation which contemplates that:
 
(i)   after the effective date provided for in the agreement, all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company shall be owned, leased or otherwise controlled by another corporation or other entity; and
 
(ii)   individuals who are Directors of the Company when such agreement is executed shall not constitute a majority of the Directors or board of directors of the survivor or successor entity immediately after the effective date provided for in such agreement; provided, however, for purposes of this paragraph (d), that if such agreement requires as a condition precedent approval by the Company's shareholders of the agreement or transaction, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have taken place unless and until such approval is secured.
 
11.   Compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Requirements
 
No certificate for Shares distributed under the terms of the Plan shall be executed and delivered to the Participant until the Company shall have taken any action then required to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, or any other applicable laws and requirements.
 
12.   Amendment and Termination
 
The Committee and/or Board may, at any time or from time to time, modify or amend the Plan in any respect, except that without shareholder approval (subject to Section 13 hereof), the Committee and/or Board may not increase the maximum number of shares of Restricted Stock that may be awarded under this Plan.  Any modification, amendment or termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of a Participant, affect his or her rights under an Award previously granted to a Participant.
  
13.   Adjustments.
 
If the Company subdivides its outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification, or otherwise) or combines its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares (by reverse stock split, reclassification, or otherwise), or if the Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, business combination, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase Shares, or other similar corporate event, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in its sole discretion and in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable and appropriate, make such adjustments to any or all of (i) the number and class of Shares which thereafter may be awarded under the Plan, and (ii) the number and class of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, provided, however , that the number of Shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.  The Committee may, if deemed appropriate, provide for a cash payment to any Participant in connection with any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.




Exhibit 99.2



CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT



This Agreement is dated as of March 27, 2014 between Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. ("Company") and Stephan A. Rapaglia ("Employee").

The Employee is currently employed by the Company and the Employee's services are valued by the Company.

The Company recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A hereto) of the Company may result in the departure or distraction of the Employee, to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company wishes to assure the Employee of fair severance should his employment terminate in certain specified circumstances following a Change in Control.

In consideration of the Employee's continued employment by the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


1.
Termination Benefits . If the employment of the Employee is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Company for any reason other than for Cause, within 18 months following a Change in Control,
 
(a)
the Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to 12 months of Employee's rate of base salary (exclusive of any bonus or other benefit) in effect at the date of the Change in Control.  Such amount shall be payable in cash in a lump sum within 45 days after such termination; and
 
(b)
the Company shall continue in force and effect for 12 months after termination (the "Continuation of Benefits Period") and at the same level and for the benefit of the Employee's family, where applicable, all life insurance, disability, medical and other benefit programs or arrangements in which the Employee is participating or to which the Employee is entitled at the date of the Change in Control, provided that the Employee's continued participation is possible under such programs and arrangements. In the event that such continued participation is not possible, the Company shall arrange to provide the Employee with benefits similar to those which Employee would be entitled to receive under such programs and arrangements or, if the Company determines that it is impracticable to provide such similar benefits for tax or other reasons, the Company shall provide the Employee with a lump sum cash payment within 45 days of such termination in an amount equal to the cost to the Employee to purchase such benefits on his own, as determined by the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the benefits continuation shall include a lump sum cash payment to the Employee within 45 days of such termination in lieu of Company contributions on behalf of the Employee under the Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. Profit Sharing and Savings Plan. The amount of such payment shall be the product of (i) the number of months in the Continuation of Benefits Period and (ii) 1/12 of 5% (or such other percentage reflected in the Company's most recent annual contribution determined prior to the Change in Control) times the Employee's annual salary rate in effect immediately prior to the termination date or, if greater, the Employee's annual salary rate in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

Payments under this Section 1 shall be reduced to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to provide that no "payment in the nature of compensation" to (or for the benefit of) the Employee which is "contingent" on the Change in Control would fail to be deductible for federal income tax purposes by reason of section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  As used in this Section, the words "payment in the nature of compensation" and "contingent" shall be construed and applied in a manner consistent with the meaning of those words under section 280G of the Code and regulations thereunder. The determination as to whether and to what extent a reduction in payments under this Section 1 is necessary to avoid the non-deductibility of any payment under section 280G of the Code shall be made at the Company's expense by PKF O'Connor Davies, a division of O'Connor Davies, LLP, certified public accountants ("PKF"), or by such other certified public accounting firm as the Compensation Committee of the directors may designate prior to a Change in Control.  In the event of any underpayment or overpayment under this Section 1, as determined by PKF (or such other firm as may have been designated in accordance with the preceding sentence), the amount of such underpayment or overpayment shall forthwith be paid to the Employee or refunded to the Company, as the case may be, with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

2.
Definitions . The definitions in Appendix A are hereby incorporated in this Agreement.
 
3.
No Duty to Mitigate Damages . The Employee's benefits under this Agreement shall be considered severance pay in consideration of his past service and his continued service from the date of this Agreement, and his entitlement thereto shall neither be governed by any duty to mitigate his damages by seeking further employment nor offset by any compensation which he may receive from future employment.
 
4.
Withholding . Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to the Employee shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.  Provisions with respect to the potential applicability of Section 409A are set forth in Appendix B hereto.
 
5.
Legal Fees and Expenses; Interest . The Company shall pay all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Employee in successfully obtaining any right or benefit to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement.  Any amount payable under this Agreement that is not paid when due shall accrue interest at the prime rate as from time to time in effect at The Bank of New York Mellon, until paid in full.
 
6.
Arbitration . Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in New York City in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The parties shall attempt to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator who shall promptly convene a hearing to resolve submitted disputes.  If the parties are unable to agree upon such an arbitrator within 20 days from initial contact, the American Arbitration Association shall be requested by either party to submit a list of at least seven arbitrators from which the parties shall attempt to select one by agreement.  In the event they do not so agree, they shall alternately strike names from this list beginning with the Employee, until a single name remains. The remaining person shall be appointed to hear and decide the parties' disputes, drawing his authority and the bases for decision from this Agreement.  The arbitrator will resolve all submitted matters in a written decision with expedition.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.
 
7.
Notices . All notices shall be in writing and shall be deemed given five days after mailing in the continental United States by certified mail, or upon personal receipt after delivery, facsimile or telegram, to the party entitled thereto at the address stated below or to such changed address as the addressee may have given by a similar notice:
 
To the Company:

Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc.
321 Railroad Avenue
Greenwich, CT 06830

To the Employee:

At his home address,
as last shown on the
records of the Company




8.
Severability . In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be enforceable in any other jurisdiction in which valid and enforceable and in any event the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
9.
Binding Agreement . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and be enforceable by the Employee's personal or legal representatives or successors.  If the Employee dies while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder, such amounts shall be paid to the Employee's estate. This Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by the Employee.
 
10.
Successors . This Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon the Company's successors. The Company will require any successor to all or substantially all of the businesses and/or assets of the Company by sale, merger (where the Company is not the surviving entity), lease or otherwise, to assume expressly this Agreement.  If the Company shall not obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession, the Employee shall have all rights resulting from termination of the Employee's employment under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable by the Company.
 
11.
Amendment or Modification; Waiver . This Agreement may not be amended unless agreed to in writing by the Employee and the Company.  No waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent breach.
 
12.
Continued Employment . This Agreement shall not confer upon the Employee any right of continued or future employment by the Company or any right to compensation or benefits from the Company except the right specifically stated herein to certain severance benefits, and shall not limit the right of the Company to terminate the Employee's employment at any time, except as may be otherwise provided in a written employment agreement between the Company and the Employee.
 
13.
Governing Law . The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York notwithstanding that the Company's principal offices and the Employee's legal residence are in the State of Connecticut.
 
14.
Liability of Shareholders . This Agreement is executed by or on behalf of the directors of the Company solely in their capacity as such directors, and shall not constitute their personal obligation either jointly or severally in their individual capacities.  The shareholders, directors, officers or agents of the Company shall not be personally liable for any obligations of the Company under this Agreement and all parties hereto shall look solely to the property of the Company for the payment of any claim hereunder.
 
15.
Entire Agreement . This Agreement, including the attached Appendices, represents the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter of payment of severance upon the Employee's termination of employment following a Change in Control of the Company and supersedes and incorporates any and all prior agreements, both written or oral.
 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have duly executed the Agreement as of the above date.

APPENDIX B TO CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT:  SECTION 409A


Anything in this Change in Control Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:

(A)              The parties intend that all payments and benefits under this Agreement shall be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively "Section 409A") and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner that achieves such intention.  Although the Company intends to administer this Agreement so that it will be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement will be exempt from, or otherwise comply with, Code Section 409A or any other provision of applicable law.
(B)              No amount of nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A shall be payable to Employee upon a termination of his employment unless such termination constitutes a "separation from service" with the Company under Section 409A.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to Employee shall be made in reliance upon the exception for certain involuntary terminations under a separation pay plan or as a short-term deferral under Section 409A.  For purposes of Section 409A, Employee's right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.
(C)              If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Employee in connection with his employment termination (other than termination on account of Employee's death) is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A and the Employee is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 409A(2)(B)(i) thereof, no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six (6) months plus one (1) day after the date of termination (the "New Payment Date").  The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Employee during the period between the date of termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Employee in a lump sum on such New Payment Date.  Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(D)              To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, (i) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Employee, (ii) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (ii) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.
