including financial, capital structure, business and properties,
risk factor and management and governance information. The Form10
will be revised and updated in future amendments filed with the

The Transactions are subject to certain conditions, including the
SEC declaring that JBG SMITHs registration statement is
effective, filing and approval of JBG SMITHs listing application
with the New York Stock Exchange, the absence of any law, order
or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions,
and no more than 40% of the JBG Included Properties (as defined
in the MTA) and no more than 20% of the Vornado Included
Properties (as defined in the MTA) (each percentage based on the
initial asset values agreed to by the parties in the MTA) having
been designated as Kickout Interests (as defined in the MTA) and
therefore prevented from being transferred to JBG SMITH in the
Transactions.

subject to certain additional conditions, including the receipt
by Vornado and JBG SMITH of certain legal opinions, and certain
key individuals having remained employed by the JBG Parties (as

treatment of the Transactions, the composition of JBG SMITHs
portfolio following the completion of the Transactions, the
possibility that third-party consents required to transfer
certain properties in the Transactions will not be received,
the impact of the Transactions on the businesses of Vornado and
JBG SMITH, the timing of and costs associated with property
improvements, financing commitments, and general competitive
factors. For further discussion of factors that could
materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements
and other risks and uncertainties, see Risk Factors in Vornados
