Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” and/or the “Company”) is a Delaware limited partnership. Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 94.1% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2014. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Operating Partnership” refer to Vornado Realty L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

On January 15, 2015, we completed the spin-off of substantially all of our retail segment comprised of 79 strip shopping centers, three malls, a warehouse park and $225 million of cash to Urban Edge Properties (“UE”) (NYSE: UE). As part of this transaction, we received 5,712,000 UE operating partnership units (5.4% ownership interest). We are providing transition services to UE for an initial period of up to two years, including information technology, human resources, tax and public reporting. UE is providing us with leasing and property management services for (i) the Monmouth Mall, (ii) certain small retail properties which did not fit UE's strategy that we plan to sell, and (iii) our affiliate, Alexander's, Inc. (NYSE: ALX), Rego Park retail assets. Steven Roth, Chairman of Vornado's Board of Trustees and its Chief Executive Officer is a member of the Board of Trustees of UE. The spin-off distribution was effected by Vornado distributing one UE common share for every two Vornado common shares. The historical financial results of UE have been reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
