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 on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 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 Lexingtons audited financial statements and related disclosures as soon as practicable after they were available.
On March 1, 2010, Lexington filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Accordingly, on March 3, 2010, Vornado filed an amendment on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) to its Form 10-K, which was filed on February 23, 2010, to incorporate by reference to that Amendment No. 1, Lexingtons audited financial statements and related disclosures and to similarly include the consent of KPMG LLP, Lexingtons 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.
On March 24, 2010, Toys filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended January 30, 2010. Accordingly, Vornado is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 2) to its Form 10-K, which was filed on February 23, 2010, to incorporate by reference to this Amendment No. 2, Toys audited financial statements and related disclosures and to similarly include the consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP, Toys independent registered public accounting firm with respect to its report on such audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010.
Except as otherwise expressly noted herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of Vornados original Form 10-K on February 23, 2010. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with Vornados original Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 thereto.
