EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 of SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "SL Green Realty Corp.," the "Company" or "SL Green" mean SL Green Realty Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to "SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.," the "Operating Partnership" or "SLGOP" mean SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "we," "our" and "us" mean the Company and all the entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.

The Company is a Maryland corporation which operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, and is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As a general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company owns 68,508,127 of the outstanding general and limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The Company also owns 9,200,000 Series I Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2020, noncontrolling investors held, in aggregate, 3,938,823 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.

The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, stockholders' equity of the Company and partners' capital of the Operating Partnership are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are accounted as noncontrolling interests, within mezzanine equity, in the Company's and the Operating Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

We believe combining the annual reports on Form 10-K of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

•Combined reports enhance investors' understanding of the Company 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;

•Combined reports eliminate duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

•Combined reports create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

•consolidated financial statements;

•the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:

◦Note 11, Noncontrolling Interests on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements;

◦Note 12, Stockholders' Equity of the Company; and

◦Note 13, Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership;

This report also includes separate Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrants' Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities, and Item 9A. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in both their capacity as the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

On December 4, 2020 our Board of Directors declared an ordinary dividend and a special dividend (together, "the Total Dividend"). The Total Dividend was paid on January 15, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December

15, 2020 ("the Record Date"). Shareholders had the opportunity to elect to receive the Total Dividend in the form of all cash or all stock, subject to proration if either option was oversubscribed.

To mitigate the dilutive impact of the common stock issued in the special dividend, the board of directors also authorized a reverse stock split, which was effective after markets closed on January 20, 2021. On January 8, 2021, a committee of the Board of Directors calculated the ratio for the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as 1.02918-for-1. After the issuance of the dividend and the completion of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding was equivalent to the number of total shares outstanding on the Record Date (not including any issuances or repurchases that occurred following the Record Date, as well as any fractional shares that would have been issued but for which cash-in-lieu was paid). However, on a relative basis, some individual shareholders may have more shares of SLG’s common stock, and some individual shareholders may have fewer shares of our common stock, depending on their individual elections to receive cash or stock and as a result of the cash option being oversubscribed.

All share-related references and measurements including the number of shares outstanding, share prices, number of shares repurchased, earnings per share, dividends per share, and share-based compensation awards, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
