Item 5.02                          Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;  Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (the "Company") held on March 24, 2016, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Plan (the "Plan") increasing by 750,000 shares of common stock the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan.  As amended, the Plan permits the Company's Compensation Committee to issue up to 4,500,000 common shares, of which 350,000 shares are Class A Common Stock, 350,000 shares are Common Stock and 3,800,000 shares, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, may be any combination of Class A Common Stock or Common Stock.

The principal purposes of the Plan are to promote the long-term growth of the Company by attracting, retaining, and motivating Directors and key management personnel possessing outstanding ability, to incentivize employees at all levels in addition to management personnel, and to further align the interests of such persons with those of the Company's stockholders through stock ownership opportunities. Pursuant to the Plan, Directors and employees of the Company, selected by the Compensation Committee, may be issued restricted stock awards.
