VORNADO SELLS SERIES C PREFERRED SHARES IN PUBLIC OFFERING
On May 17, 1999, Vornado Realty Trust and Vornado Realty L.P. entered
into an underwriting agreement with Salomon Smith Barney, Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, PaineWebber Incorporated and Prudential Securities,
as representatives of the several underwriters named in the underwriting
agreement, relating to the issuance and sale by Vornado of an aggregate of 4
million 8.5% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, liquidation
preference $25.00 per share, no par value (the "Series C Preferred Shares"), of
Vornado for an aggregate net purchase price of approximately $96.85 million.
Vornado granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days after May
17, 1999, to purchase up to 600,000 additional Series C Preferred Shares, solely
to cover overallotments. The issuance and sale of the Series C Preferred Shares
was consummated on May 20, 1999 and the option to cover overallotments was
exercised in full, with the total proceeds to Vornado being approximately
$111.38 million. Expenses payable by Vornado in connection with the offering of
the Series C Preferred Shares are estimated at approximately $400,000.
ISSUANCE OF SERIES D-2 PREFERRED UNITS BY VORNADO REALTY L.P.
On May 27, 1999, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
through which Vornado Realty Trust conducts its business (the "Operating
Partnership"), sold approximately $27.5 million of Series D-2 Preferred Units of
limited partnership interest (the "Series D-2 Preferred Units") to an
institutional investor in a private placement.
The Series D-2 Preferred Units are perpetual and may be redeemed without
penalty in whole or in part by the Operating Partnership at any time on or after
May 27, 2004 for cash equal to $50 per Series D-2 Preferred Unit and any
accumulated and unpaid distributions owing in respect of the Series D-2
Preferred Units being redeemed. At any time on or after the Series D-2 Effective
Date (as defined below), holders of Series D-2 Preferred Units will have the
right to have their Series D-2 Preferred Units redeemed by the Operating
Partnership for (i) cash equal to $50 for each Series D-2 Preferred Unit and any
accumulated and unpaid distributions owing in respect of the Series D-2
Preferred Units being redeemed or (ii) at the option of Vornado Realty Trust,
one 8.375% Series D-2 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share of Beneficial
Interest, no par value (the "Series D-2 Preferred Shares"), of Vornado Realty
Trust for each Series D-2 Preferred Unit redeemed. The "Series D-2 Effective
Date" means the sooner of (i) May 27, 2009, (ii) the first business day
following any period in which the Operating Partnership has failed to make full
distributions in respect of the Series D-2 Preferred Units for six quarters,
whether or not consecutive, (iii) the first business day following receipt by
the holder of the Series D-2 Preferred Units of either notice from Vornado
Realty Trust, or an opinion of counsel, that the Operating Partnership is or
likely is a "publicly-traded partnership," as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and (iv) the first business day following the date on
which the institutional investor to which the Series D-2 Preferred Units were
issued reasonably determines that there is an imminent and substantial risk that
the Series D-2 Preferred Units held by it represent or will represent 19.5% or
more of the total profits or capital interests in the Operating Partnership for
a taxable year.
The Series D-2 Preferred Shares will be perpetual and will be redeemable
at the option of Vornado Realty Trust at any time on and after May 27, 2004 for
cash equal to $50 per Series D-2 Preferred Share plus dividends accumulated and
unpaid prior to the date of redemption. No Series D-2 Preferred Shares are now
outstanding. Vornado Realty Trust and the purchaser of the Series D-2 Preferred
Units have entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the
Series D-2 Preferred Shares that may be issued upon redemption of Series D-2
Preferred Units.
