ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
Court Approval of Mendik RELP Litigation Settlement
On October 14, 1998, the previously disclosed Settlement Agreement between
Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado") and certain limited partners of Mendik Real
Estate Limited Partnership ("Mendik RELP"), a publicly traded limited
partnership, was approved by the Supreme Court of the State of New York.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Vornado will purchase from Mendik
RELP (i) the Saxon Woods Corporate Center located in Harrison, New York, (ii) a
60% interest in an office building located at Two Park Avenue, in Manhattan
(Vornado already owns the other 40%) and (iii) an office building located at 330
West 34th Street, also in Manhattan (collectively, the "Mendik RELP
Properties"). The aggregate purchase price is approximately $104 million,
including assumed debt of $39 million on the Two Park Avenue property.
These transactions will be consummated through subsidiaries of Vornado Realty
L.P., a limited partnership of which Vornado owns a 92% limited partnership
interest at June 30, 1998 and is the sole general partner.
The Settlement Agreement is subject to appeal and will not become final until
November 6, 1998; accordingly, there can be no assurance that these transactions
will be completed.
Resignation of Bernard H. Mendik
On October 13, 1998, Bernard H. Mendik resigned as Chief Executive Officer of
Vornado's Mendik Division and as Co-Chairman of the Board of Trustees of
Vornado. Vornado will continue to operate its New York City office business
