Explanatory Note
In accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, Vornado Realty Trust (the “Registrant” or “Vornado”) is required to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, audited financial statements of Toys “R” Us, Inc. (“Toys”) and Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”), equity method investments in which Vornado owns approximately 32.7% and 15.2%, respectively, of the common equity as of December 31, 2009. On February 23, 2010, Vornado filed its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009 on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating on the cover page that it would file an amendment to the Form 10-K to include Toys’ and Lexington’s audited financial statements and related disclosures as soon as practicable after the y were available.
On March 1, 2010, Lexington filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Accordingly, Vornado is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (Amendment no. 1) to Vornado’s Form 10-K, filed on February 23, 2010, to include by incorporating by reference to this Amendment No. 1 Lexington’s audited financial statements and related disclosures and to similarly include the consent of KPMG LLP, Lexington’s independent registered public accounting firm with respect to its report on such audited financial statements and the consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP with respect to its report on the financial statements of Lex-Win Concord, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2009.
A second amendment to Vornado’s Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed as promptly as practicable following the availability of Toys financial statements.
Except as otherwise expressly noted herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of Vornado’s original Form 10-K on February 23, 2010. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with Vornado’s original Form 10-K.
