INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Final Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2010 (the “Schedule TO”), which related to separate offers (each an “Offer” and collectively, the “Offers”) by Vornado Realty Trust (the “Company”), a fully integrated real estate investment trust organized under the laws of the State of Maryland, to purchase any and all of the Company’s issued and outstanding (i) 3.625% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2026 (the “2026 Debentures”), which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Partnership”), a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, for cash, at the consideration equal to $1,020 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Debentures purchased and (ii) 2.85% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2027  (the “2027 Debentures” and together with the 2026 Debentures, the “Debentures”), which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnership, for cash, at the consideration equal to $1,015 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2027 Debentures purchased, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 2, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal.  These Offers consisted of two separate offers, one for each series of Debentures. The Company’s obligation to accept for payment, and to pay for, any Debentures validly tendered pursuant to an Offer was subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.  This Amendment is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) and Rule 13e-4(c)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The information in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal, which were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference into this Amendment, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

 

Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 7 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The Company funded its purchases of the Debentures in the Offers with available cash paid to the Company by the Partnership in satisfaction of the Partnership’s obligations to the Company, and the Partnership satisfied  its obligations to the Company with its own cash on hand.”

 

Item 11. Additional Information.

 

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

“The Offers for the Debentures each expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on September 30, 2010. The Depositary has advised the Company that an aggregate of $189,827,000 principal amount of its 2026 Debentures and $12,246,000 principal amount of its 2027 Debentures were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the applicable Offer for such Debentures prior to the applicable Expiration Time of each such Offer. In accordance with the terms of each such Offer, the Company accepted for payment $189,827,000 principal amount of its 2026 Debentures (representing approximately 49.69% of the 2026 Debentures outstanding prior to the Offer) at a purchase price of $1,020 per $1,000 principal amount of such 2026 Debentures, and $12,246,000 principal amount of its 2027 Debentures (representing approximately 54.48% of the 2027 Debentures outstanding prior to the Offer) at a purchase price of $1,015 per $1,000 principal amount of such 2027 Debentures, plus, with respect to each such series of Debentures, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Payment Date, which is October 1, 2010.”

 

On October 1, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the final results of the Offers.  A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(ii) to this Final Amendment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — October 1, 2010

 

Vornado Realty Trust Announces Completion of Cash Tender Offers

For Its 3.625% Convertible Senior Debentures and
Its 2.85% Convertible Senior Debentures

 

PARAMUS, NEW JERSEY — Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) (“Vornado”) today announced that it has completed its previously announced cash tender offers for any and all of its 3.625% Convertible Senior Debentures (CUSIP No. 929043AE7) (the “3.625% Debentures”) and its 2.85% Convertible Senior Debentures (CUSIP No. 929042AC3) (the “2.85% Debentures” and together with the 3.625% Debentures, the “Securities”), each of which is guaranteed by Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), the operating partnership through which Vornado conducts its business and holds substantially all of its assets.

 

The tender offers for the Securities expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on September 30, 2010.  Pursuant to the terms of the tender offers, Vornado purchased an aggregate of $189,827,000 principal amount of the 3.625% Debentures (representing approximately 49.69% of the 3.625% Debentures outstanding prior to the tender offer) and $12,246,000 principal amount of the 2.85% Debentures (representing approximately 54.48% of the 2.85% Debentures outstanding prior to the tender offer).  The Securities purchased have been retired, thereby leaving $192,219,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 3.625% Debentures outstanding and $10,233,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2.85% Debentures outstanding.

 

In accordance with the terms of the tender offers, the consideration paid for the Securities was $1,020 per $1,000 in principal amount of the 3.625% Debentures and $1,015 per $1,000 in principal amount of the 2.85% Debentures, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, October 1, 2010, the settlement date for the tender offers. The aggregate consideration paid for the Securities purchased, exclusive of accrued interest, was approximately $206,053,230. Vornado paid for all of the Securities purchased pursuant to the tender offers with available cash received from the Operating Partnership.

 

Goldman, Sachs & Co. acted as Dealer Manager for the tender offers and Global Bondholder Services Corporation acted as the information agent for the tender offers.

 

This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell, or to solicit any consents related to, the Securities. The offers to purchase Securities were only made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and related letter of transmittal that Vornado has filed with the SEC and mailed to holders of Securities. Holders of Securities should read those materials carefully because they contain important information, including the various terms of, and conditions to, the tender offers.
