            (b),(c) and (e). On May 2, 2013, the Board of Trustees of Vornado Realty Trust (the “Company”) appointed Joseph Macnow as the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer in addition to continuing his role as Executive Vice President – Finance.  Mr. Macnow served as Vornado’s Executive Vice President – Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer since 1985.

            The Board of Trustees, following discussion with the Board’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, has appointed Mr. Stephen W. Theriot as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), effective June 1, 2013.  Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Theriot had been a partner of Deloitte & Touche LLP, having been with Deloitte & Touche LLP since 1986.  Mr. Theriot most recently served as the Managing Partner of Deloitte’s Northeast real estate practice.

            Mr. Macnow will remain as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer until Mr. Theriot has assumed the position.

            Pursuant to an employment agreement with the Company, Mr. Theriot will receive a base salary of $1,000,000 and be entitled to a bonus for 2013 of not less than $500,000 (pro rated for the portion of the year served) in cash or in value of the Company’s equity (at the discretion of the Company).  Mr. Theriot’s employment will be terminable on 60 days’ notice by either the Company or Mr. Theriot, provided if the employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Theriot with good reason, Mr. Theriot will be entitled to a severance payment equal to his then current base salary plus the average of the then preceding two years’ bonuses.  If such a termination occurs within the first two years of employment, the severance payment will not be less than $1,300,000.

            The Company’s independent registered accounting firm is Deloitte & Touche LLP.  Mr. Theriot has not been associated with the audit of the Company by Deloitte & Touche LLP since the audit for the year ended December 31, 2008.

            The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K on the date on which it is first making a public announcement of the appointments described herein in accordance with the instruction to paragraph (c) of Item 5.02(c) which permits a delay in filing Form 8-K until the day on which the registrant otherwise makes public announcement of the appointment of the particular officer.
