Current wording

We may be adversely affected by trends in office real estate.

Previous wording

In 2024, approximately 55% ofour rental revenues was from Bloomberg, the office tenant at our 731 Lexington Avenue office property. Work from home, flexible or hybrid work schedules, open workplaces, videoconferencing, and teleconferencing remain prevalent in certain situations, following the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in tenant space utilization, including from the continuation of work from home and flexible work arrangement policies, may cause office tenants to reassess their long-term physical space needs, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, the increased use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) could result in changes in tenant space utilization, including the need to reduce or reconfigure space.

Current wording

In 2025, approximately 61% ofour rental revenues was from Bloomberg, the office tenant at our 731 Lexington Avenue office property. Work from home, flexible or hybrid work schedules, open workplaces, videoconferencing, and teleconferencing have become more common in recent years.

All of our revenues come from properties located in New York City. Real estate markets are affected by economic downturns and we cannot predict how economic conditions will impact this market in either the short or long term. Declines in the economy and declines in the New York City real estate market have affected and could affect our financial performance and the value of our properties. In addition to the factors affecting the national economic condition generally, the factors affecting economic conditions in this area include:

Certain of our properties are New York City retail properties and thus are affected by the general and New York City retail environments, including the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, New York City tourism, office and residential occupancy rates, employer remote-working policies, the threat of terrorism or other criminal acts, increasing competition from online retailers and other retail centers, and the impact of technological change upon the retail environment generally. These factors could adversely affect the financial condition of our retail tenants, or result in the bankruptcy of such tenants, and the willingness of retailers to lease space in our retail locations, which could have an adverse effect on the value of our properties, our business and profitability.

We compete with a large number of real estate investors, property owners and developers, some of whom may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, tenant concessions offered, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Substantially all of our properties face competition from similar properties in the same market, which may adversely affect the rents we can charge at those properties and our results of operations.

When our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration, we may not be able to relet the space. Even if tenants do renew or we can relet the space, the terms of renewal or reletting, considering among other things, rent and concessions, the cost of improvements to the property and leasing commissions, may be on less economically favorable terms. In addition, changes in space utilization by our tenants may impact our ability to renew or relet space without the need to incur substantial costs in renovating or redesigning the internal configuration of the relevant property and/or space. If we are unable to promptly renew the leases or relet the space at similar rates, lease vacant space, or if we are otherwise not able to maintain occupancy on economically favorable terms, our cash flow and ability to service debt obligations and pay dividends and distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected.

Current wording

We depend upon anchor tenants to attract shoppers at our Rego Park II retail property and decisions made by these tenants, or adverse developments in the businesses of these tenants, could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

Our Rego Park retail properties are anchored by well-known large format retailers and other tenants who generate shopping traffic. The value of these properties would be adversely affected if our anchor tenants failed to meet their contractual obligations, sought concessions in order to continue operations or ceased their operations, including as a result of bankruptcy. If the level of sales at stores operating in our properties were to decline significantly due to economic conditions, increased competition from online shopping, closing of anchors or for other reasons, tenants may be unable to pay their minimum rents or expense recovery charges. In the event of a default by a tenant or anchor, we may experience delays and costs in enforcing our rights as landlord. Additionally, closure of an anchor or major tenant could result in lease terminations by, or reductions of rent from other tenants if the other tenants’ leases have co-tenancy clauses.

From time-to-time, some of our tenants have declared bankruptcy, and other tenants may declare bankruptcy, become insolvent or experience a material business downturn adversely affecting their ability to make timely rental payments in the future. If a tenant does not pay its rent, we may face delays enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial legal and other costs. Even if we are able to enforce our rights, a tenant may not have recoverable assets. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant may delay our efforts to collect past-due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude collection of these amounts altogether. As a result, the bankruptcy or insolvency of, or nonpayment by, a major tenant could cause us to suffer lower revenues and operational difficulties, including leasing the remainder of the property, which could in turn result in decreased net income and funds available to pay our indebtedness and make distributions to stockholders.

All of our properties are located in New York City, and our most significant property, 731 Lexington Avenue, is located on Lexington Avenue and 59th Street in Manhattan. In response to a terrorist attack, the perceived threat of terrorism or other criminal acts, tenants in this area may choose to relocate their businesses to less populated, lower-profile areas of the United States that may be perceived to be less likely targets of future terrorist activity or have lower rates of crime and fewer customers may choose to patronize businesses in this area. This, in turn, could trigger a decrease in the demand for space in this area, which could increase vacancies in our properties and force us to lease space on less favorable terms. Furthermore, we may experience increased costs for security, equipment and personnel. As a result, the value of our properties and the level of our revenues and cash flows could decline materially.

Current wording

The effects of climate change and natural disasters could have a concentrated impact on the area where we operate and could adversely impact our results.

Previous wording

Our properties are located in New York City. Physical climate change and natural disasters, including earthquakes, storms, storm surges, tornados, floods and hurricanes, could cause significant damage to our properties and the surrounding environment or area. Potentially adverse consequences of climate change, including rising sea levels and increased temperature fluctuations, could similarly have an impact on our properties and the economies of the metropolitan area in which we operate. Government efforts to combat climate change may impact the cost of operating our properties. Over time, these conditions could result in declining demand for space in our buildings or the inability of us to operate the buildings at all. Climate change may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable, increasing the cost of energy at our properties and requiring us to expend funds as we seek to repair and protect our properties against such risks. The incurrence of these losses, costs or business interruptions may adversely affect our operating and financial results.

Previous wording

De-carbonization of grid-supplied energy (as has been mandated by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act in New York State) could lead to increased energy costs and operating expenses for our buildings. Retrofitting our building systems to consume less energy could lead to increased capital costs. In addition, buildings which consume fossil fuel onsite may be subject to penalties in the future. Although these laws and regulations have not had any material adverse effects on our business to date, they could result in substantial costs, including compliance costs, increased energy costs, retrofit costs and construction costs. We cannot predict how future laws and regulations, or future interpretations of current laws and regulations, related to climate change will affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Current wording

Decarbonization of grid-supplied energy (as has been mandated by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (“CLCPA”) in New York State) could lead to increased energy costs and operating expenses for our buildings. In October 2025, the Albany County Supreme Court ordered the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (“DEC”) to finalize regulations required under the CLCPA. This ruling compels the DEC to implement a cap-and-invest program to enforce greenhouse gas emission limits, which had been delayed. Retrofitting our building systems to consume less energy has led to increased capital costs. In addition, buildings which consume fossil fuel onsite may be subject to penalties in the future. Although these laws and regulations have not had any material adverse effects on our business to date, they could result in substantial costs, including compliance costs, increased energy costs, retrofit costs and construction costs.

Previous wording

We may become subject to costs, taxes or penalties, or increases therein, associated with natural resource or energy usage, such as a “carbon tax” and by local legislation such as New York City’s Local Law 97, which sets limits on carbon emissions in our buildings and imposes penalties if we exceed those limits, and New York City’s Intro 2317, or the “gas ban” bill, which limits any onsite fossil fuel combustion in new construction and major renovations. These costs, taxes or penalties could increase our operating costs and decrease the cash available to pay our indebtedness and make distributions to our stockholders.

We actively track and assess possible impact from regulations across our buildings and evaluate cost of compliance versus impact on business operations and property valuations in our regular capital cycles. These costs, taxes or penalties could increase our operating costs and decrease the cash available to pay our obligations and make distributions to our stockholders.

Previous wording

The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may have retroactive application) could adversely affect the taxation of REITs and their shareholders. We cannot predict whether, when, in what form, or with what effective dates, tax laws, regulations and rulings may be enacted, promulgated or decided, or technical corrections made, which could result in an increase in our, or our stockholders’, tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize increases in our tax liability. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income and/or be subject to additional restrictions. These increased tax costs could, among other things, adversely affect the trading price for our common shares, our financial condition, our results of operations and the amount of cash available to pay our indebtedness and make distributions to our stockholders.

Elevated rates of inflation, both real and anticipated, may impact our business and results of operations. In a highly inflationary environment, we may be unable to raise rental rates at or above the rate of inflation, which could reduce our profit margins. In addition, our cost of labor and materials could increase, which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results. Increased inflation could also adversely affect us by increasing costs of construction and renovation. While increases in most operating expenses at our properties can be passed on to our office and retail tenants, some tenants have fixed reimbursement charges, and expenses at our residential property may not be able to be passed on to residential tenants. An increase in unreimbursed operating expenses may reduce cash flow available to pay our indebtedness and make distributions to our stockholders.

These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and could prevent the initiation or the completion of redevelopment activities or reduce the ultimate rents achieved on new developments. These outcomes could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the market value of our common shares and ability to pay our indebtedness and make distributions to our stockholders.

Previous wording

There are many factors that can affect the value of our equity securities, including the state of the capital markets and the economy. Demand for office and retail space typically declines nationwide due to an economic downturn, bankruptcies, downsizing, layoffs and cost cutting. Government action or inaction may adversely affect the state of the capital markets. The cost and availability of credit may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads, which may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, including our results of operations, and the liquidity and financial condition of our tenants. Our inability or the inability of our tenants to timely refinance maturing liabilities and access the capital markets and obtain reasonable pricing to meet liquidity needs may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations and the value of our common stock.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2024, total mortgages payable, excluding deferred debt issuance costs, was $996,544,000, and our rate of total debt to total enterprise value was 59%. “Enterprise value” means the market equity value of our common stock, plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents at such date. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to meet our required debt service. Our debt service costs generally will not be reduced if conditions in the market or at our properties, such as the entry of new competitors or the loss of major tenants, cause a reduction in the income from our properties. Should such events occur, our operations may be adversely affected.

Current wording

As of December 31, 2025, total mortgages payable, excluding deferred debt issuance costs, was $836,691,000, and our rate of total debt to total enterprise value was 46%. “Enterprise value” means the market equity value of our common stock, plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents at such date.

Previous wording

If we are unable to obtain additional debt financing or refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. In addition, the volatility in the interest rate environment has led to an increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt, including on new hedging instruments, and an increase in the cost of refinancing our existing debt and entering into new debt, all which have reduced, and could continue to reduce our operating cash flows. While certain of our debt is fixed by an interest rate swap arrangement, the arrangement expires earlier than the mortgage loan maturity, resulting in future exposure to rising interest rates, which could further reduce our available cash. If the cost or amount of our indebtedness continues to increase or we cannot refinance our debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we are at risk of default on our obligations that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Current wording

If we are unable to obtain debt financing or refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. In addition, the volatility in the interest rate environment in recent years has led to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt, including new hedging instruments, and the cost of refinancing our existing debt and entering into new debt, all which could reduce our operating cash flows. If the cost or amount of our indebtedness increases or we cannot refinance our debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we potentially could be at risk of default on our obligations that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding mortgage indebtedness of $996,544,000, secured by three of our properties. These mortgages contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties, provide for lender approval of tenants’ leases in certain circumstances, and in certain cases provide for yield maintenance or defeasance premiums to prepay them. These mortgages may significantly restrict our operational and financial flexibility. In addition, if we were to fail to perform our obligations under existing indebtedness or become insolvent or were liquidated, secured creditors would be entitled to payment in full from the proceeds of the sale of the pledged assets prior to any proceeds being paid to other creditors or to any holders of our securities. In such an event, it is possible that we would have insufficient assets remaining to make payments to other creditors or to any holders of our securities.

Previous wording

The interest rate hedge instruments we may use to manage some of our exposure to interest rate volatility involve risks, including the risk that counterparties may fail to perform under these arrangements. If interest rates continue to fall, these arrangements may cause us to pay higher interest on our debt obligations than would otherwise be the case. In addition, the use of such instruments may generate income that may not be treated as qualifying REIT income for purposes of the 75% gross income test or 95% gross income test. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our hedging arrangements will qualify as “highly effective” cash flow hedges under applicable accounting standards. If our hedges do not qualify as “highly effective,” the changes in the fair value of these instruments would be reflected in our results of operations and could adversely affect our earnings.

The interest of our current stockholders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities. As of December 31, 2024, we had authorized but unissued 4,826,550 shares of common stock, par value of $1.00 per share and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share; of which 26,244 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance upon redemption of the deferred stock units previously granted to our Board of Directors. In addition,479,543 shares are available for future grant under the terms of our 2016 Omnibus Stock Plan. These awards may be granted in the form of options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units, or other equity-based interests, and if granted, would reduce that number of shares available for future grants, provided however that an award that may be settled only in cash, would not reduce the number of shares available under the plan. We cannot predict the impact that future issuances of common or preferred stock or any exercise of outstanding options or grants of additional equity-based interests would have on the market price of our common stock.
