On October 17, 2017, Vornado Realty L.P., the operating partnership through which Vornado Realty Trust conducts its business (collectively, the “Company”), extended one of its two $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities (as extended, amended and restated, the “2017 Revolving Credit Facility”) from November 2018 to January 2022 with two 6-month extension options. The interest rate on the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility was lowered from LIBOR plus 105 basis points to LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The facility fee remains at 20 basis points.

The Company’s second revolving credit facility of $1.25 billion (the “2016 Revolving Credit Facility”) matures in February 2021 with two 6-month extension options.

The Company’s total revolving credit facilities remain at $2.50 billion.

The joint lead arrangers and joint book-runners for the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility are JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities LLC. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as Administrative Agent. Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. serve as Co-Syndication Agents. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, N.A, and U.S. Bank National Association serve as joint lead arrangers.

Under the terms of the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, “Total Outstanding Indebtedness” may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of “Capitalization Value,” which is based on a 6.0% capitalization rate; the ratio of “Combined EBITDA” to “Fixed Charges,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not be less than 1.40 to 1.00; the ratio of “Unencumbered Combined EBITDA” to “Unsecured Interest Expense,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not be less than 1.50 to 1.00; at any time, “Unsecured Indebtedness” may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of “Capitalization Value of Unencumbered Assets;” and the ratio of “Secured Indebtedness” to “Capitalization Value,” each measured as of the most recently ended calendar quarter, may not exceed fifty percent (50%). The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility also contains standard representations and warranties and other covenants.

The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default for facilities of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods) and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts outstanding under the credit facility may be accelerated and the lenders’ commitments may be terminated.
