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.
