VORNADO REALTY TRUST

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

 

1.     Organization

Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully‑integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).  Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 92.8% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2010.  All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

 

Substantially all of Vornado’s assets are held through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is 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.

 

 

2.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado, and the Operating Partnership and its consolidated partially owned entities.  All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.  We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated fina ncial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

 

3.    Recently Issued Accounting Literature

On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adding new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and additional disclosures about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The application of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC 810, Consolidation, which modifies the existing quantitative guidance used in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by requiring entities to qualitatively assess whether an enterprise is a primary beneficiary, based on whether the entity has (i) power over the significant activities of the VIE, and (ii) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.  The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On July 6, 2010, we completed the first closing of Vornado Capital Partners, L.P., our real estate investment fund (the “Fund”), with aggregate equity commitments of $550,000,000, of which we committed $200,000,000.  We expect to raise an additional $450,000,000 bringing total commitments to $1 billion.  We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund and it is our exclusive investment vehicle during the three-year investment period for all investments that fit within the Fund’s investment parameters, including debt, equity and other interests in real estate, and excluding (i) investments in vacant land and ground-up development; (ii) investments acquired by merger or primarily for our securities or properties; (iii) properties which can be combined with or relate to our exi sting properties; (iv) securities of commercial mortgage loan servicers and investments derived from any such investments; (v) noncontrolling interests in equity and debt securities; and (vi) investments located outside of North America.   The Fund has a term of eight years from the final closing date.  The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Investment Company Guide and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings.  We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements.  In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we expensed $3,752,000 and $6,482,000, respectively, for organization costs, which are included as a component of “general and administrative” expenses on our consolidated statement of income.

In September 2010, the Fund received $59,240,000 of capital from partners, including $21,542,000 from us.  In October 2010, the Fund received an additional $53,300,000 of capital from partners, including $19,382,000 from us, for total capital contributions to date of $112,540,000.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Fund acquired two investments aggregating $42,500,000 in cash, and in October 2010, the Fund acquired a third investment for $168,000,000, of which $100,000,000 was mortgage financed and $68,000,000 was paid in cash.  In addition, the Fund reimbursed us for $1,500,000 of organization costs.

 

5.    Derivative Instruments and Marketable Securities

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

 

We currently own an economic interest in 23,400,000 common shares of J.C Penney, or 9.9% of its outstanding common shares.  Below are the details of our investment.

In September 2010, we acquired 2,684,010 common shares at an average price of $26.87 per share, or $72,107,000 in the aggregate.  These shares are included as a component of marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available for sale.”  Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these shares are recognized as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” (a component of shareholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet) and not recognized in income.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an $845,000 unrealized gain based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share.  In October 2010, we acquired an additional 400,000 common shares at an average price of $27.46 per share, or $10,983,000 in the ag gregate.  Accordingly, we currently own 3,084,010 common shares at an average price of $26.94 per share, or $83,090,000 in the aggregate.

On September 28, 2010, we acquired call options to purchase 15,500,000 common shares at a strike price of $12.2437 per share for $199,265,000, which expire on March 27, 2012.  We may exercise all or portions of the options prior to expiration.  The options may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares.  These options are derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instruments are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a $32,249,000 net gain, based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share and our weighted average cost of $25.10 per share.  At September 30, 2010, the $199,265,000 cost of the options and the $32,249,000 mark-to-market increase in the value of the options are included in “other assets” and the $199,265,000 settled on October 1, 2010 is included in “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.

On October 7, 2010, we entered into a forward contract to acquire 4,815,990 common shares at an initial weighted average strike price of $28.41 per share.  We may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 9, 2012.  The counterparty may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, upon one year’s notice to us.  The forward contract may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares.  Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the strike price for each share increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 80 basis points and decreases for dividends received on the shares.  The contract is a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instrument are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold certain of our investments in marketable securities for an aggregate of $155,118,000 and recognized an $8,960,000 net gain, of which $5,052,000 was recognized in the third quarter of 2010.  Such gain is included as a component of "net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets other than depreciable real estate" on our consolidated statement of income.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our marketable securities portfolio had $40,990,000 and $13,026,000, respectively, of gross unrealized gains.  There were no unrealized losses at September 30, 2010 and $1,223,000 of gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2009.

 

 

6.    Investments in Partially Owned Entities

 

LNR Property Corporation (“LNR”)

 

On July 29, 2010, as a part of LNR’s recapitalization, we acquired a 26.2% equity interest in LNR for $116,000,000 in cash and conversion into equity of our $15,000,000 mezzanine loan (the then current carrying amount) made to LNR’s parent, Riley Holdco Corp.  The recapitalization involved an infusion of a total of $417,000,000 in new cash equity and the reduction of LNR’s total debt to $425,000,000 from $1.3 billion, excluding liabilities related to the consolidated CMBS and CDO trusts described below. We account for our equity interest in LNR under the equity method.  Upon finalization of purchase accounting in the fourth quarter, we will recognize our 26.2% pro-rata share of LNR’s earnings for the period from July 29, 2010 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2010, which will not be material to our consolidated statement of income, as we ll as our share of their fourth quarter earnings.

LNR consolidates certain commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and Collateralized Debt Obligation (“CDO”) trusts for which it is the primary beneficiary.  The assets of these trusts (primarily commercial mortgage loans) are the sole source of repayment of the related liabilities, which are non-recourse to LNR and its equity holders, including us.  Changes in the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of these trusts each period are recognized in LNR’s consolidated income statement and allocated to the noncontrolling interests,  which is applied to “appropriated deficit” on LNR’s consolidated balance sheet and not to LNR’s equity holders, including us.

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)

As of September 30, 2010, we own 32.7% of Toys.  The business of Toys is highly seasonal.  Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income.  We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our 32.7% share of Toys net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31.  As of September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys does not differ materially from our share of the equity in the net assets of Toys on a purchase accounting basis.

 

On May 28, 2010, Toys filed a registration statement with the SEC for the offering and sale of its common stock.  The offering, if completed, would result in a reduction of our percentage ownership of Toys’ equity.  The size of the offering and its completion are subject to market and other conditions.

 

In August 2010, in connection with certain financing and refinancing transactions, Toys paid us an aggregate of $9,600,000 for our share of advisory fees.  Since Toys has capitalized these fees and is amortizing them over the term of the related debt, we recorded the fees as a reduction of the basis of our investment in Toys and will amortize the fees into income over the term of the related debt.

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

 

As of September 30, 2010, we own 32.4% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s.  We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of September 30, 2010, Alexander’s owed us $58,409,000 in fees under these agreements. 

 

Based on Alexander’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $315.78, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Alexander’s is $522,322,000, or $322,634,000 in excess of the September 30, 2010 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of September 30, 2010, 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 $59,868,000.  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 the real estate (land and buildings).&nb sp; The basis difference related to the buildings is being amortized over their estimated useful lives as an adjustment to our equity in net income of Alexander’s.  This amortization is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income or loss.  The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

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

 

As of September 30, 2010, we own 18,468,969 Lexington common shares, or approximately 13.7% of Lexington’s common equity.  We account for our investment in Lexington on the equity method because we believe we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Lexington’s operating and financial policies, based on, among other factors, our representation on Lexington’s Board of Trustees and the level of our ownership in Lexington as compared to other shareholders.  We record our pro rata share of Lexington’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we fil e our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. 

 

Based on Lexington’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $7.16, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Lexington was $132,238,000, or $80,804,000 in excess of the September 30, 2010 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.  As of September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Lexington was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of Lexington by approximately $69,788,000.  This basis difference resulted primarily from $107,882,000 of non-cash impairment charges recognized during 2008, partially offset by purchase accounting for our acquisition of an additional 8,000,000 common shares of Lexington in October 2008, of which the majority relates to our estimate of the fair values of Lexington’s real estate (land and buildings) as compared to the carrying amounts in Lexington’s consolidated financial statements.  The basis difference related to the buildings is being amortized over their estimated useful lives as an adjustment to our equity in net income or loss of Lexington.  This amortization is not material to our share of equity in Lexington’s net income or loss.  The basis difference attributable to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.  Below is a summary of Lexington’s latest available financial information:

Represents loan loss accruals on certain mezzanine loans based on our estimate of the net realizable value of each loan.  Our estimates are based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at each loan’s effective interest rate, or if a loan is collateralized, based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, adjusted for estimated costs to sell.  The excess of the carrying amount over the net realizable value of a loan is recognized as a reduction of “interest and other investment income (loss), net” in our consolidated statements of income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

10.    Debt - continued

 

Notes to preceding tabular information (Amounts in thousands):

 

 

 

 

(1)

Represents the extended maturity for certain loans in which we have the unilateral right, ability and intent to extend.  In the case of our convertible and exchangeable debt, represents the earliest date holders may require us to repurchase the debentures.

 

 

 

 

(2)

On June 1, 2010, we refinanced this loan in the same amount.  The new loan, which is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership, has a rate of LIBOR plus 1.40% (1.66% at September 30, 2010) and matures in June 2011 with three one-year extension options.

 

 

 

 

(3)

On September 1, 2010, we repaid the $44,900 outstanding balance of this loan which was scheduled to mature in October 2010.

 

 

 

 

(4)

In August 2010, we sold $660,000 of 10-year mortgage notes in a single issuer securitization.  The notes are comprised of a $600,000 fixed rate component and a $60,000 variable rate component and are cross-collateralized by 40 strip shopping centers. The variable rate portion of the debt has a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. 

 

(5)

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we notified the master servicer of this debt that the cash flows currently generated from this property are insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls.  Accordingly, we requested that the loan be placed with the special servicer.  We have ceased making debt service payments and are currently in default.  Pursuant to the terms of the debt agreement and in accordance with GAAP, we have accrued interest on this loan at the default rate.  As a result, we have accrued $5,823 of additional interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, of which $3,038 was accrued in the current quarter.  We are in negotiations with the special servicer but there can be no assurance as to the timing and ultimate resolution of these negotiations.

 

(6)

In March 2010, we notified the master servicer of the mortgage loan on a retail property in California, that the cash flows generated from this property were insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls.  Accordingly, we requested that the loan be placed with the special servicer.  On October 14, 2010, the special servicer foreclosed on the property.  In the fourth quarter, we will remove the property and the related debt from our consolidated balance sheet, which will not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of income.

 

 

 

 

(7)

In March 2010, we notified the master servicer of this debt that the cash flows currently generated from this property are insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls.  Accordingly, we requested that the loan be placed with the special servicer.  We have ceased making debt service payments and are currently in default.  Pursuant to the terms of the debt agreement and in accordance with GAAP, we have accrued interest on this loan at the default rate.  As a result, we have accrued $5,913 of additional interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, of which $2,565 was accrued in the current quarter.  In October, 2010, the special servicer filed a motion to place the property in receivership.  There can be no assurance as to the timing and ultimate resolution of this matter.

 

(8)

This loan bears interest at the Freddie Mac Reference Note Rate plus 1.53%. 

 

 

 

 

(9)

This loan has a LIBOR floor of 1.50%.

 

 

 

 

(10)

This loan has a LIBOR floor of 2.00%.

In June 2010, we extended the maturity date of a $50,000 construction loan to February 2011, with a one-year extension option. 

 

 

 

 

(12)

In October 2010, we repaid a $36,000 loan which matured on September 30, 2010.

 

 

 

 

(13)

On March 26, 2010, we completed a public offering of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2015.  Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, commencing on October 1, 2010.  The notes were sold at 99.834% of their face amount to yield 4.287%.  The notes can be redeemed without penalty beginning January 1, 2015.  We retained net proceeds of approximately $496,000.

These notes may be redeemed at our option in whole or in part beginning on October 1, 2014, at a price equal to the principal amount plus accrued interest.  In the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we reclassified $13,866 of deferred financing costs to “deferred leasing and financing costs” on our consolidated balance sheet.

 

(15)

In the third quarter of 2010, we purchased $17,000 aggregate face amount ($16,981 aggregate carrying amount) of these senior unsecured notes for $17,382 in cash, resulting in a net loss of $401.

 

 

 

 

(16)

In 2010, we purchased $55,251 aggregate face amount ($53,972 aggregate carrying amount) of our convertible senior debentures for $55,367 in cash, resulting in a net loss of $1,395, of which $324 was recognized in the third quarter of 2010.

 

 

 

 

(17)

On October 1 2010, pursuant to our September 2, 2010 tender offer, we purchased $189,827 aggregate face amount of our 3.63% convertible senior debentures and $12,246 aggregate face amount of our 2.85% convertible senior debentures for an aggregate of $206,053 in cash, resulting in a net loss of approximately $8,500 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

 

 

 

(18)

The net proceeds from the offering of these debentures were contributed to the Operating Partnership in the form of an inter-company loan and the Operating Partnership fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment of these debentures.  There are no restrictions which limit the Operating Partnership from making distributions to Vornado and Vornado has no independent assets or operations outside of the Operating Partnership.

Our convertible senior debentures require that upon conversion, the entire principal amount is to be settled in cash, and at our option, any excess value above the principal amount may be settled in cash or common shares.  Based on the September 30, 2010 closing share price of our common shares and the conversion prices in the table above, there was no excess value; accordingly, no common shares would be issued if these securities were settled on this date.  The number of common shares on which the aggregate consideration that would be delivered upon conversion is 143 and 2,573 common shares, respectively.

11.    Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

 

Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets represent Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are comprised of Class A units and Series D-10, D-11, D-14 and D-15 (collectively, “Series D”) cumulative redeemable preferred units.  Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets 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 our consolidated statements of changes in equity.  Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable noncontrolling interests.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units was $1,157,222,000 and $971,628,000, respectively. 

 

Redeemable noncontrolling interests exclude our Series G convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares.  Accordingly the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $61,516,000 and $60,271,000 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. 

 

In March and May of 2010, we redeemed 246,153 and 553,847 Series D-12 cumulative redeemable preferred units, respectively, for $16.25 per unit in cash, or $13,000,000 in the aggregate.  In connection with these redemptions, we recognized a $6,972,000 net gain, of which $4,818,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2010.  Such gain is included as a component of “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, including unit distributions,” on our consolidated statement of income.

 

 

12.    Shareholders’ Equity

 

In September 2010, we purchased all of the 1,600,000 outstanding Series D-10 preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, for $22.25 per share in cash, or $35,600,000 in the aggregate.  In connection therewith, the $4,382,000 discount was included as “discount on preferred share redemptions” on our consolidated statement of income.

13.  Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value.  The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active mar kets 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.& nbsp;  

 

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

 

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) derivative positions in marketable equity securities (iii) the assets of our deferred compensation plan, which are primarily marketable equity securities and equity investments in limited partnerships, (iv) Real Estate Fund investments, (v) short-term investments (CDARS classified as available-for-sale), and (vi) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units).  The tables below aggregate the fair values of financial assets and liabilities by the levels in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

14.    Stock-based Compensation

On May 13, 2010, our shareholders approved the 2010 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan’), which replaces the 2002 Omnibus Share Plan.  Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) may grant eligible participants awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted shares and other stock-based awards and operating partnership units, certain of which may provide for dividends or dividend equivalents and voting rights prior to vesting.  Awards may be granted up to a maximum of 6,000,000 shares, if all awards granted are Full Value Awards, as defined, and up to 12,000,000 shares, if all of the awards granted are Not Full Value Awards, as defined.  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.  This means, for example, if the Committee were to award only restricted shares, it could award up to 6,000,000 restricted shares.  On the other hand, if the Committee were to award only stock options, it could award options to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares (at the applicable exercise price).  The Committee may also issue any combination of awards under the Plan, with reductions in availability of future awards made in accordance with the above limitations. 

 

We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 consists of stock option awards, restricted stock awards, Operating Partnership unit awards and out-performance plan awards.  Stock-based compensation expense was $11,210,000 and $5,639,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $26,167,000 and $21,539,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes $2,800,000 of expense resulting from accelerating the ves ting of certain Operating Partnership units and our 2006 out-performance Plan units, which were scheduled to fully vest in the first quarter of 2011.

 

On March 31, 2009, our nine most senior executives voluntarily surrendered their 2007 and 2008 stock option awards and their 2008 out-performance plan awards.  Accordingly, we recognized $32,588,000 of expense in the first quarter of 2009 representing the unamortized portion of these awards, which is included as a component of “general and administrative” expense on our consolidated statement of income.

17.    Income Per Share

The following table provides a reconciliation of both net income and the number of common shares used in the computation of (i) basic income per common share - which utilizes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and (ii) diluted income per common share - which includes the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive share equivalents. Potentially dilutive share equivalents include our Series A convertible preferred shares, employee stock options, restricted stock and exchangeable senior debentures due 2025.

19.    Retirement Plan

In the first quarter of 2009, we finalized the termination of the Merchandise Mart Properties Pension Plan, which resulted in a $2,800,000 pension settlement expense that is included as a component of “general and administrative” expense on our consolidated statement of income.

 

 

20.    Subsequent Events

          On October 8, 2010, we acquired 510 Fifth Avenue for $57,000,000, comprised of $24,700,000 in cash and $32,300,000 of existing mortgage debt.  This five-story building is located on the southwest corner of 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York and consists of 60,000 square feet of retail and office space.  We will consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements in the fourth quarter, from the date of the acquisition.

          On October 20, 2010, we sold a 45% common ownership interest in 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue (the Warner Building) and 1101 17th Street NW, for $236,700,000, comprised of $91,000,000 in cash and the assumption of existing mortgage debt.  We retained the remaining 55% ownership interest and continue to manage and lease the properties.  Based on the Warner Building’s implied fair value of $445,000,000, we realized a net gain of $54,000,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010.  The gain on 1101 17th Street, based on an implied fair value of $81,000,000, will be recognized when we monetize our investment.

21.    Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance 

 

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, including coverage for terrorist acts, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods.  Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $150,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $150,000,000 annual aggregate.

 

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by TRIPRA.  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.  Our coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss.  We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.

 

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

 

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures 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 and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of September 30, 2010, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $245,057,000.

 

At September 30, 2010, $14,233,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

 

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.

 

We are committed to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $195,672,000, of which $178,458,000 is committed to the Fund.  In addition, we have agreed in principle to contribute up to $52,000,000 to a new investment management fund which will be managed by LNR.

 

As part of the process of obtaining the required approvals to demolish and develop our 220 Central Park South property into a new residential tower, we have committed to fund the estimated project cost of approximately $400,000,000 to $425,000,000.

Litigation  

 

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, including the matters referred to below, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop . On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York State Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005 that court remanded the action to the New York State Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its dec ision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision.  On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007.  Discovery is now complete.  On October 19, 2009, Stop & Shop filed a motion for leave to amend its pleadings to assert new claims for relief, including a claim for damages in an unspecified amount, and an additional affirmative defense.  On April 26, 2010, Stop and Shop’s motion was denied.  A tentative trial date has been set for November 8, 2010.  We intend to continue to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop.  In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In July 2005, we acquired H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”) which has a subsidiary that owns, among other things, a 50% tenancy in common interest in land located in Arlington County, Virginia, known as "Pentagon Row," leased to two tenants, Street Retail, Inc. and Post Apartment Homes, L.P.  In April 2007, H Street acquired the remaining 50% interest in that fee.  On September 25, 2008, both tenants filed suit against us and the former owners claiming the right of first offer to purchase the fee interest, damages in excess of $75,000,000 and punitive damages.  In April 2010, the Trial Court entered judgment in favor of the tenants, that we sell the land to the tenants for a net sales price of $14,992,000, representing the Trial Court’s allocation of our purchase price for H Street.  T he request for damages and punitive damages was denied.  The Trial Court’s judgment is stayed pending the outcome of our appeal.  As a result of the Trial Court’s decision, we recorded a $10,056,000 loss accrual in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily representing previously recognized rental income.

22.     Segment Information - continued

 

 

 

Notes to preceding tabular information:

 

 

(1)

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

(2)

Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

 

 

(3)

The tables below provide information about EBITDA from certain investments that are included in the "other" column of the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.  The totals for each of the columns below agree to the total EBITDA for the "other" column in the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

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

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (the "Company") as of September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

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

 

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

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 23, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to a change in method of accounting for debt with conversion options and noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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

Certain statements contained 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 expression s in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2010.

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

 

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

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

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

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

·         Investing in fully-integrated operating companies that have a significant real estate component; and

·         Developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value.

 

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from possible 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 our shares or any other securities in the future.

 

We have a large concentration of properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, DC and Northern Virginia areas. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national, regional and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.  See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for additional information regarding these factors.

 

The economic recession and illiquidity and volatility in the financial and capital markets during 2008 and 2009 negatively affected substantially all businesses, including ours.  Although signs of an economic recovery in 2010 have emerged, it is not possible for us to quantify the timing and impact of such a recovery, or lack thereof, on our future financial results.

2010 Acquisitions and Significant Investments

 

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

 

We currently own an economic interest in 23,400,000 common shares of J.C Penney, or 9.9% of its outstanding common shares.  Below are the details of our investment.

In September 2010, we acquired 2,684,010 common shares at an average price of $26.87 per share, or $72,107,000 in the aggregate.  These shares are included as a component of marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available for sale.”  Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these shares are recognized as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” (a component of shareholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet) and not recognized in income.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an $845,000 unrealized gain based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share.  In October 2010, we acquired an additional 400,000 common shares at an average price of $27.46 per share, or $10,983,000 in the agg regate.  Accordingly, we currently own 3,084,010 common shares at an average price of $26.94 per share, or $83,090,000 in the aggregate.

On September 28, 2010, we acquired call options to purchase 15,500,000 common shares at a strike price of $12.2437 per share for $199,265,000, which expire on March 27, 2012.  We may exercise all or portions of the options prior to expiration.  The options may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares.  These options are derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instruments are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income.  In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a $32,249,000 net gain, based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share and our weighted average cost of $25.10 per share.  At September 30, 2010, the $199,265,000 cost of the options and the $32,249,000 mark-to-market increase in the value of the options are included in “other assets” and the $199,265,000 settled on October 1, 2010, is included in “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.   

On October 7, 2010, we entered into a forward contract to acquire 4,815,990 common shares at an initial weighted average strike price of $28.41 per share.  We may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 9, 2012.  The counterparty may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, upon one year’s notice to us.  The forward contract may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares.  Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the strike price for each share increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 80 basis points and decreases for dividends received on the shares.  The contract is a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instrument are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other i nvestment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income.  

 

Investment in LNR Property Corporation (“LNR”)

On July 29, 2010, as a part of LNR’s recapitalization, we acquired a 26.2% equity interest in LNR for $116,000,000 in cash and conversion into equity of our $15,000,000 mezzanine loan (the then current carrying amount) made to LNR’s parent, Riley Holdco Corp.  The recapitalization involved an infusion of a total of $417,000,000 in new cash equity and the reduction of LNR’s total debt to $425,000,000 from $1.3 billion, excluding liabilities related to the consolidated CMBS and CDO trusts described below.  We account for our equity interest in LNR under the equity method.  Upon finalization of purchase accounting in the fourth quarter, we will recognize our 26.2% pro rata share of LNR’s earnings for the period from July 29, 2010 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2010, which will not be material to our consolidated statements of income, as well as our share of their fourth quarter earnings.

LNR consolidates certain commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and Collateralized Debt Obligation (“CDO”) trusts for which it is the primary beneficiary.  The assets of these trusts (primarily commercial mortgage loans) are the sole source of repayment of the related liabilities, which are non-recourse to LNR and its equity holders, including us.  Changes in the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of these trusts each period are recognized in LNR’s consolidated income statement and allocated to the noncontrolling interests, which is applied to “appropriated deficit” on LNR’s consolidated balance sheet, and not to LNR’s equity holders, including us.  As of July 29, 2010, LNR’s consolidated balance sheet included $119 billion of assets and $142 billion of liabilities related to CMBS and CDO trusts.

2010 Acquisitions and Significant Investments

 

Vornado Capital Partners L.P.

On July 6, 2010, we completed the first closing of Vornado Capital Partners, L.P., our real estate investment fund (the “Fund”), with aggregate equity commitments of $550,000,000, of which we committed $200,000,000.  We expect to raise an additional $450,000,000 bringing total commitments to $1 billion.  We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund and it is our exclusive investment vehicle during the three-year investment period for all investments that fit within the Fund’s investment parameters, including debt, equity and other interests in real estate, and excluding (i) investments in vacant land and ground-up development; (ii) investments acquired by merger or primarily for our securities or properties; (iii) properties which can be combined with or relate to our exis ting properties; (iv) securities of commercial mortgage loan servicers and investments derived from any such investments; (v) noncontrolling interests in equity and debt securities; and (vi) investments located outside of North America.   The Fund has a term of eight years from the final closing date.  The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Investment Company Guide and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings.   We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements.  In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we expensed $3,752,000 and $6,482,000, respectively, for organization costs which are included as a component of “general and administrative” expenses on our consolidated statement of income.

In September 2010, the Fund received $59,240,000 of capital from partners, including $21,542,000 from us.  In October 2010, the Fund received an additional $53,300,000 of capital from partners, including $19,382,000 from us, for total capital contributions to date of $112,540,000.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Fund acquired two investments aggregating $42,500,000 in cash and in October 2010, the Fund acquired a third investment for $168,000,000, of which $100,000,000 was mortgage financed and $68,000,000 was paid in cash.  In addition, the Fund reimbursed us for $1,500,000 of organization costs. 

 

 

2010 Financing Activities

 

In 2010, through open market repurchases and tender offers, we purchased $257,324,000 aggregate face amount ($252,048,000 aggregate carrying amount) of our convertible senior debentures and $17,000,000 aggregate face amount ($16,981,000 aggregate carrying amount) of our senior unsecured notes for $261,420,000 and $17,382,000 in cash, respectively.

 

In August 2010, we sold $660,000,000 of 10-year mortgage notes in a single issuer securitization.  The notes are comprised of a $600,000,000 fixed rate component and a $60,000,000 variable rate component and are cross-collateralized by 40 strip shopping centers in the Mid-Atlantic region.  The $600,000,000 fixed rate portion bears interest at an initial rate of 4.18% and a weighted average rate of 4.31% over the 10-year term and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule.  The variable rate portion bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.36%, with a 1% floor (2.36% at September 30, 2010).

 

In March 2010, we completed a public offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2015.  Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, commencing on October 1, 2010.  The notes were sold at 99.834% of their face amount to yield 4.287%.  The notes can be redeemed without penalty beginning January 1, 2015.  We retained net proceeds of approximately $496,000,000.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adding new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and additional disclosures about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements.  The application of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC 810, Consolidation, which modifies the existing quantitative guidance used in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by requiring entities to qualitatively assess whether an enterprise is a primary beneficiary, based on whether the entity has (i) power over the significant activities of the VIE, and (ii) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.  The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Overview - continued

 

The following table sets forth certain information for the properties we own directly or indirectly, including leasing activity. The leasing activity presented below is based on leases signed during the period and is not intended to coincide with the commencement of rental revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Tenant improvements and leasing commissions are presented below based on square feet leased during the period, on a per square foot and per square foot per annum basis, based on weighted average lease terms and as a percentage of initial rent per square foot.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 - continued

 

Notes to preceding tabular information:

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

 

(2)   Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

 

(3)   The tables below provide information about EBITDA from certain investments that are included in the “other” column of the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.  The totals for each of the columns below agree to the total EBITDA for the “other” column in the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

Same Store EBITDA

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

 

Below are the same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 - continued

 

Notes to preceding tabular information:

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

 

(2)   Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax (benefit) expense in the reconciliation of our net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

 

(3)   The tables below provide information about EBITDA from certain investments that are included in the “other” column of the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.  The totals for each of the columns below agree to the total EBITDA for the “other” column in the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

Primarily from the elimination of inter-company fees from operating segments upon consolidation.  See note (3) on page 57.

 

 

 

(3)

 

On March 31, 2009, our nine most senior executives voluntarily surrendered their 2007 and 2008 stock option awards and their 2008 out-performance plan awards.  Accordingly, we recognized $32,588 of expense in the first quarter of 2009, representing the unamortized portion of these awards.

(4)

 

This decrease in expense is entirely offset by a corresponding decrease in income from the mark-to-market of the deferred compensation plan assets, a component of “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statements of income.

 

 

 

(5)

 

Primarily due to $2,800 of pension plan termination costs in 2009.

Same Store EBITDA

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

 

Below are the same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

Our revenues and expenses are subject to seasonality during the year which impacts quarterly net earnings, cash flows and funds from operations, and therefore impacts comparisons of the current quarter to the previous quarter. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income, which we record on a one-quarter lag basis in our first quarter, accounts for more than 80% of Toys’ fiscal year net income. The Office and Merchandise Mart segments have historically experienced higher utility costs in the first and third quarters of the year. The Merchandise Mart segment also has experienced higher earnings in the second and fourth quarters of the year due to major trade shows occurring in those quarters. The Retail segment revenue in the fourth quarter is typically higher due to the recognition of percentage rental income.  Below are the same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.  Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, and our revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales.  Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, distributions to common and preferred shareholders, as well as acquisition and development costs.  Our cash and cash equivalents were $846,254,000 at September 30, 2010, a $310,775,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2009.  This increase resulted from $594,721,000 of net cash provided by operating activities, $61,205,000 of net cash p rovided by investing activities, partially offset by $345,151,000 of net cash used in financing activities.  Our consolidated outstanding debt was $11,110,047,000 at September 30, 2010, a $170,432,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2009.

 

We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures.  During the remainder of 2010 and 2011, $184,000,000 and $2,087,000,000 of our outstanding debt matures, respectively. We may refinance such debt or choose to repay all or a portion, using existing cash balances or our revolving credit facilities.  Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions (excluding Fund acquisitions as described below), may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings.  We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt 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.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, we notified the master servicers of three non-recourse loans secured by properties in San Francisco, California, High Point, North Carolina, and Springfield, Virginia that the cash flows generated from these properties were insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls.  Accordingly, we requested that each of these loans be placed with their respective special servicers.  We have ceased making debt service payments on these loans and are in default.  These defaults have not had, nor are expected to have, any material impact on our current or future business operations, our ability to raise capital or our credit ratings.  On October 14, 2010, the special servicer of the loan secured by our San Francisco property foreclosed on the proper ty.  As a result, in the fourth quarter, we will remove this property and related debt from our consolidated balance sheet, which will not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of income.  In October 2010, the special servicer of the loan secured by our property in High Point, North Carolina filed a motion to place the property in receivership.  We continue to negotiate with the special servicer of the loan secured by our property in Springfield, Virginia.  There can be no assurance as to the timing and ultimate resolution of these matters.  In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we have accrued $5,887,000 and $12,445,000, respectively, of default interest on these loans.

 

We have raised, and may continue to raise, capital for future real estate acquisitions through our Real Estate Fund.  On July 6, 2010, we completed the first closing of the Fund with aggregate equity commitments of $550,000,000, of which we committed $200,000,000.  We expect to raise an additional $450,000,000 bringing total commitments to $1 billion.  We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund and it is our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within the Fund’s investment parameters during its three-year investment period. 

 

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Cash flows provided by operating activities of $594,721,000 was comprised of (i) net income of $425,887,000, (ii) $213,747,000 of non-cash adjustments, including depreciation and amortization expense, the effect of straight-lining of rental income, equity in net income of partially owned entities, (iii) distributions of income from partially owned entities of $36,829,000, partially offset by (iv) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $81,742,000, of which $62,500,000 relates to Real Estate Fund investments.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities of $51,097,000 was comprised of (i) proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $126,015,000, (ii) restricted cash of $125,204,000, (iii) proceeds received from repayment of mezzanine loans receivable of $109,594,000, (iv) proceeds from the sale of real estate and related investments of $48,998,000, (v) distributions of capital from partially owned entities of $45,613,000, (vi) proceeds from maturing short-term investments of $40,000,000, partially offset by (vii) investments in partially owned entities of $159,053,000, (viii) additions to real estate of $98,789,000, (ix) development and redevelopment expenditures of $86,871,000, (x) investments in mezzanine loans receivable and other of $75,697,000, (xi) purchases of marketable equity securities of $13,917,000 and (xii) deposits in connection with real estate acquisitions of $10,000,000.

 

Net cash used in financing activities of $335,043,000 was comprised of (i) repayments of borrowings, including the purchase of our senior unsecured notes, of $1,462,652,000, (ii) dividends paid on common shares of $354,937,000, (iii) purchases of outstanding preferred units and shares of $48,600,000, (iv) dividends paid on preferred shares of $42,100,000, (v) distributions to noncontrolling interests of $41,055,000, (vi) debt issuance costs of $14,942,000, and (vii) repurchase of shares related to stock compensation arrangements and related tax withholdings of $13,467,000, partially offset by (viii) proceeds from borrowings of $1,603,359,000, and (ix) contributions from noncontrolling interests of $39,351,000.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures consist of expenditures to maintain assets, tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions.  Recurring capital improvements include expenditures to maintain a property’s competitive position within the market and tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to re-lease expiring leases or renew or extend existing leases.  Non-recurring capital improvements include expenditures completed in the year of acquisition and the following two years that were planned at the time of acquisition as well as tenant improvements and leasing commissions for space that was vacant at the time of acquisition of a property.  Our development and redevelopment expenditures include all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions , capitalized interest and operating costs until the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

Insurance 

 

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, including coverage for terrorist acts, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods.  Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $150,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $150,000,000 annual aggregate.

 

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by TRIPRA.  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.  Our coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss.  We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.

 

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

 

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures 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 and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us.  However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space.  These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.  As of September 30, 2010, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $245,057,000.

 

At September 30, 2010, $14,233,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities.  Our credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

 

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.

 

We are committed to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $195,672,000, of which $178,458,000 is committed to the Fund.  In addition, we have agreed in principle to contribute up to $52,000,000 to a new investment management fund which will be managed by LNR.

 

As part of the process of obtaining the required approvals to demolish and develop our 220 Central Park South property into a new residential tower, we have committed to fund the estimated project cost of approximately $400,000,000 to $425,000,000.

Litigation

 

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, including the matters referred to below, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop . On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York State Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005 that court remanded the action to the New York State Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its dec ision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision.  On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007.  Discovery is now complete.  On October 19, 2009, Stop & Shop filed a motion for leave to amend its pleadings to assert new claims for relief, including a claim for damages in an unspecified amount, and an additional affirmative defense.  On April 26, 2010, Stop and Shop’s motion was denied.  A tentative trial date has been set for November 8, 2010.  We intend to continue to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop.  In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 0;

 

In July 2005, we acquired H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”) which has a subsidiary that owns, among other things, a 50% tenancy in common interest in land located in Arlington County, Virginia, known as "Pentagon Row," leased to two tenants, Street Retail, Inc. and Post Apartment Homes, L.P.  In April 2007, H Street acquired the remaining 50% interest in that fee.  On September 25, 2008, both tenants filed suit against us and the former owners claiming the right of first offer to purchase the fee interest, damages in excess of $75,000,000 and punitive damages.  In April 2010, the Trial Court entered judgment in favor of the tenants, that we sell the land to the tenants for a net sales price of $14,992,000, representing the Trial Court’s allocation of our purchase price for H Street.  T he request for damages and punitive damages was denied.  The Trial Court’s judgment is stayed pending the outcome of our appeal.  As a result of the Trial Court’s decision, we recorded a $10,056,000 loss accrual in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily representing previously recognized rental income.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”)

 

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, extraordinary items and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.  FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably o ver 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 footnote 17 – Income Per Share, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 27 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

FFO for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010, and 2009

 

FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $248,964,000, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to $234,246,000, or $1.25 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter.  FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $814,030,000 or $4.29 per diluted share, compared to $602,825,000, or $3.42 per diluted share for the prior year’s nine months.  Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview.”

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of September 30, 2010, variable rate debt with an aggregate principal amount of $567,711,408 and a weighted average interest rate of 2.49% was subject to LIBOR caps.  These caps are based on a notional amount of $567,711,408 and cap LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 6.18%. 

 

Fair Value of Debt

 

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt.  As of September 30, 2010, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $11,325,568,000.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, including our economic interest in J.C. Penney common shares.  Because these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR. Because the market value of these instruments can vary significantly between periods, we may experience significant fluctuations in the amount of our i nvestment income or expense in any given period. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a $32,249,000 net gain from the mark-to-market of our derivative position in J.C. Penney's common shares.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:  There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In July 2005, we acquired H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”) which has a subsidiary that owns, among other things, a 50% tenancy in common interest in land located in Arlington County, Virginia, known as "Pentagon Row," leased to two tenants, Street Retail, Inc. and Post Apartment Homes, L.P.  In April 2007, H Street acquired the remaining 50% interest in that fee.  On September 25, 2008, both tenants filed suit against us and the former owners claiming the right of first offer to purchase the fee interest, damages in excess of $75,000,000 and punitive damages.  In April 2010, the Trial Court entered judgment in favor of the tenants, that we sell the land to the tenants for a net sales price of $14,992,000, representing the Trial Court’s allocation of our purchase price for H Street.  T he request for damages and punitive damages was denied.  The Trial Court’s judgment is stayed pending the outcome of our appeal.  As a result of the Trial Court’s decision, we recorded a $10,056,000 loss accrual in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily representing previously recognized rental income.

(b)                 Disability.  If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall have been substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for an entire period of 180 days, and within 30 days after written Notice of Termination is given after such 180-day period, Executive shall not have returned to the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis, the Company will have the right to terminat e Executive’s employment hereunder for “Disability”, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

(c)                 Cause.  The Company will have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Company will have “Cause” to terminate Executive’s employment upon Executive’s:

(i)                   conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony;

(ii)                 willful and continued failure to use reasonable best efforts to substantially perform his duties hereunder (other than such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or subsequent to the issuance of a Notice of Termination by Executive for Good Reason) after demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company in writing that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes Executive has not used reasonable best efforts to substantially perform his duties; or

(iii)                willful misconduct (including, but not limited to, a willful breach of the provisions of Section 10) that is materially economically injurious to the Company.

For purposes of this Section 6(c), no act, or failure to act, by Executive will be considered “willful” unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of the Company.  Cause will not exist under paragraph (ii) or (iii) above unless and until the Company has delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by a majority of th e members of the Board of Trustees of the Company or of the Compensation Committee or Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee thereof (excluding, if applicable, Executive for purposes of determining such majority) at a meeting of the Board or such committee called and held for such purpose (after reasonable (but in no event less than 30 days) notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth in paragraph (ii) or (iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.  This Section 6(c) shall not prevent Executive from challenging in any court of competent jurisdiction the Board’s determination that Cause exists or that Executive has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that purportedly formed the basis for the Board’s determination.

(d)                 Good Reason.  Executive may terminate his employment for “Good Reason” within 60 days after Executive has actual knowledge of the occurrence, without the written consent of Executive, of one of the following events that has not been cured with in 30 days after written notice thereof has been given by Executive to the Company (provided that such notice must be given to the Company within 30 days of the Executive becoming aware of such condition):

(i)                   the assignment to Executive of duties materially and adversely inconsistent with Executive’s status as Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Acquisitions of the Company or a material and adverse alteration in the nature of Executive’s duties, responsibilities or authority;

(ii)                 a change in reporting responsibilities such that Executive no longer reports to the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Company;

(iii)                a reduction by the Company in Executive’s Base Salary;

(iv)               the relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices or Executive’s own office location to a location outside of New York City or Paramus, New Jersey (if other senior executive officers are relocated to the Paramus office); or

(v)                 the Company’s material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Executive’s right to terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason shall not be affected by his incapacity due to physical or mental illness.  Executive’s continued employment during the 60-day period referred to above in this paragraph (d) shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.

 


 

 

(e)                 Without Cause.  The Company will have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause by providing Executive with a Notice of Termination, and such termination shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.  This means that, notwithstanding this Agreement, Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at will.”

(f)                  Without Good Reason.  Executive will have the right to terminate his employment hereunder without Good Reason by providing the Company with a Notice of Termination, and such termination shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.
