Item 1.01.         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 7, 2016, Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Company”), the operating partnership through which Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) conducts its business, extended one of its two $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities (as extended, amended and restated, the “2016 Revolving Credit Facility”) from June 2017 to February 2021 with two 6-month extension options.  The interest rate on the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility was lowered from LIBOR plus 115 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 “2014 Revolving Credit Facility”) matures in November 2018 with two 6-month extension options. 

The Company’s total revolving credit facilities remain at $2.50 billion, of which $115,000,000 is currently outstanding.

The revolving credit facilities expressly permit the recently announced tax-free spin-off of the Company’s Washington, DC business.

The joint lead arrangers and joint book-runners for the 2016 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, and U.S. Bank National Association serve as joint lead arrangers.

Under the terms of the 2016 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 2016 Revolving Credit Facility also contains standard representations and warranties and other covenants.

The 2016 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.

The full text of the 2016 Revolving Credit Facility, which is not being filed herewith, will be filed not later than with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016.
