Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 28, 2006, Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), the operating partnership through which Vornado Realty Trust conducts its business, entered into a $1,000,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) that replaces its expiring revolving credit agreement which was due to mature in July 2006.  Vornado Realty Trust is the guarantor of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

The Revolving Credit Agreement has a four-year term and provides the Operating Partnership with an option to extend the agreement for one additional year.  Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, interest is payable on outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus 0.55%, based on the LIBOR option under the Agreement and the Operating Partnership’s current credit ratings.  A quarterly facility fee is payable at the rate per annum of 0.15%, based on the Operating Partnership’s current credit ratings.

 

The co-lead arrangers and joint book-runners for the facility are JP Morgan Securities Inc. and Bank of America Securities, L.L.C.  JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. serves as Administrative Agent.  Bank of America, N.A. and Citicorp North America, Inc. serve as Syndication Agents.  Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, LaSalle Bank, National Association and UBS Loan Finance LLC serve as Documentation Agents.

 

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants.  Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, “Equity Value” may not be less than Three Billion Dollars ($3,000,000,000); “Total Outstanding Indebtedness” may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of “Capitalization Value,” which is based on a 7.5% 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 Revolving Credit Agreement also contains standard representations and warranties and other covenants.  The terms in quotations in this paragraph are all defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Revolving Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Certain statements contained in or made during the presentation may constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance.  They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  The companies’ future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements.  You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or similar expressions.  These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties.  Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the companies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 under “Forward Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”  For these statements, the companies claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The companies expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
