Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 20, 2014, Ronald G. Targan, a Trustee of Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”), the general partner of Vornado Realty L.P., informed Vornado’s Board of Trustees (the “Board") that he would not stand for reelection as a Trustee upon the expiration of his term at Vornado’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Effective upon Mr. Targan’s departure from the Board, Vornado’s three classes of Trustees would, without further action, be unequally apportioned among the 9 remaining Trustees. Vornado’s amended and restated declaration of trust requires that the Trustees in each of the three classes of Trustees be apportioned as nearly equal in number as possible. Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board has recommended to the Board that David Mandelbaum, who is currently in the class of Trustees with a term expiring in 2016 (the “2016 Class”), effectively move from the 2016 Class to the class of Trustees with a term expiring at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which would result in three Trustees in each class. The Board has accepted the Committee’s recommendation and at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders the Board will nominate Mr. Mandelbaum for election to the class of Trustees with a term that will expire in 2017 (the “2017 Class”).
On February 20, 2014, Mr. Mandelbaum, with the concurrence of the Committee, expressed his intention to resign from the 2016 Class effective upon his election as a member of the 2017 Class. If Mr. Mandelbaum is not elected as a member of the 2017 Class at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, his resignation as a Trustee from the 2016 Class will not become effective and he will continue to serve as a member of the 2016 Class.
