Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 20, 2009, Vornado Realty Trust (the “General Partner” or “Vornado”) mailed a letter to Vornado Realty L.P. unitholders notifying them that Class A Unitholders of record as of the close of business on February 5, 2009 will receive a distribution of $.95 per Class A Unit. This distribution will be comprised of cash and Class A Units in the same proportion as the cash and Common Shares distributed to common shareholders of Vornado in the aggregate. The General Partner believes that this will result in a distribution being paid 40% in cash and 60% in additional Class A Units. The General Partner has retained the right to pay its March 12, 2009 dividend to its shareholders in all cash. If the General Partner determines to pay this dividend in all cash then it will cause the Partnership to make an all cash distribution on March 12, 2009 to unitholders. A copy of that letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
