Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Vornado Realty Trust director William W. Helman received a grant of 7,168 restricted units on May 21, 2026. These restricted units of Vornado Realty L.P. are convertible after certain events into 7,168 Class A Units, which are redeemable for cash or, at the company’s election, an equal number of common shares.

The restricted units vest immediately but are not transferable while he serves on the Board of Trustees, except through conversion and redemption. Any common shares issued upon redemption must also be held until he is no longer a board member, reinforcing this as long-term, compensation-related equity rather than an open-market transaction.

  1. On May 21, 2026, the reporting person received a grant of restricted units (the "Restricted Units") of Vornado Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), the Operating Partnership of Vornado Realty Trust (the "Company"). The Restricted Units are a class of units of the Operating Partnership that following the occurrence of certain events are convertible by the holder into an equivalent number of Class A Units of the Operating Partnership. Class A Units are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the Company's election, common shares of beneficial interest, $0.04 par value per share (the "Common Shares") of the Company on a one for one basis or the cash value of such shares. These Restricted Units vest immediately. These units are not transferable until the reporting person is no longer serving as a member of the Company's Board of Trustees, other than in connection with a conversion of the Restricted Units to Class A Units and a redemption of such Class A Units for Common Shares. Any Common Shares issued in connection with such a redemption must be held by the reporting person until such person is no longer a member of the Company's Board of Trustees.

Restricted Units financial
"the reporting person received a grant of restricted units (the "Restricted Units") of Vornado Realty L.P."
Class A Units financial
"convertible by the holder into an equivalent number of Class A Units of the Operating Partnership."
Class A units are a specific type of ownership stake in a company, fund, trust, or partnership that carries a defined set of rights—often different voting power, dividend priority, or fee arrangements—distinct from other classes of units. For investors they matter because those differences affect control, income and potential returns; think of two neighbors in the same building where one has a bigger say in decisions or a larger share of rental income.
Common Shares financial
"common shares of beneficial interest, $0.04 par value per share (the "Common Shares") of the Company"
Common shares are the basic units of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a right to vote on key matters, like electing the board. Think of them as membership cards in a club: they let you share in successes and losses, but in a bankruptcy or liquidation they are paid after creditors and preferred shareholders, so their value can swing more and matters for assessing risk and potential return.
Board of Trustees financial
"until the reporting person is no longer serving as a member of the Company's Board of Trustees"
A board of trustees is a group of individuals responsible for overseeing and guiding the management of an organization, such as a nonprofit, university, or charity. They act like a steering committee, making important decisions to ensure the organization stays true to its mission and remains financially healthy. For investors, the board’s effectiveness can influence the organization’s stability and long-term success.

FAQ

What did Vornado Realty Trust (VNO) director William W. Helman receive in this Form 4?

He received a grant of 7,168 restricted units as equity compensation. These units relate to Vornado Realty L.P. and can later convert into Class A Units and potentially common shares, aligning his interests with long-term unitholder and shareholder value.

Are William W. Helman’s 7,168 restricted units in Vornado (VNO) immediately vested?

Yes, the 7,168 restricted units vest immediately upon grant. However, they are subject to holding and transfer restrictions while he serves on the Board of Trustees, limiting liquidity and emphasizing long-term alignment instead of short-term trading flexibility for this equity award.

Can the restricted units granted to the Vornado (VNO) director convert into common shares?

The restricted units can first convert into Class A Units of the operating partnership after certain events. Those Class A Units are redeemable for cash or, at the company’s election, for common shares on a one-for-one basis, giving flexibility in settlement form.

Is this Vornado (VNO) Form 4 a market purchase or a compensation grant?

It is a compensation-related equity grant, not an open-market purchase. The reporting person received 7,168 restricted units at a stated price of zero, reflecting a grant or award rather than buying shares in the public market or through a discretionary investment decision.
