EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 of Veris Residential, Inc. and Veris Residential, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Veris Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and references to the “General Partner” mean Veris Residential, Inc., a Maryland corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by the General Partner.
The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing management, leasing, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Veris property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.
As of June 30, 2023, the General Partner owned an approximate 91.2 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 8.8 percent common unit interest is owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are (1) persons who contributed their interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units (each, a “Common Unit”) or preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership or (2) recipients of long-term incentive plan units of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the General Partner’s executive compensation plans.
A Common Unit of the Operating Partnership and a share of common stock of the General Partner (the “Common Stock”) have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Company. The General Partner owns a number of common units of the Operating Partnership equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of the General Partner’s common stock. Common unitholders (other than the General Partner) have the right to redeem their Common Units, subject to
certain
restrictions under the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”) and
agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance
. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each Common Unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of Common Units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock of the General Partner as opposed to cash, the General Partner is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the Company or the General Partner under any circumstances.
With each such redemption, the General Partner’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever the General Partner issues shares of its Common Stock other than to acquire Common Units, the General Partner must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to the General Partner an equivalent number of Common Units. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.
The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
•
enhance investors’ understanding of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business of the Company;
•
eliminate duplicative disclosure and provide a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the General Partner and the Operating Partnership; and
•
create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in the context of how they operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the General Partner. The General Partner does not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its interests in the Operating Partnership, nor does the Operating Partnership have employees of its own. The Operating Partnership, not the General Partner, generally executes all
2
significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of the General Partner. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the General Partner, including ownership interests in joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by the General Partner, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in consideration of common or preferred units in the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities, and proceeds received from the disposition of properties and joint ventures.
Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements as is the General Partner’s interest in the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements comprise the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships and development joint venture partners. The noncontrolling interests in the General Partner’s financial statements are the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership’s level and include limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at the General Partner and Operating Partnership levels.
To help investors better understand the key differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, certain information for the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in this report has been separated, as set forth below:

VERIS RESIDENTIAL, INC., VERIS RESIDENTIAL, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
Veris Residential, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “General Partner”) is a fully-integrated self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The General Partner controls Veris Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”), as its sole general partner and owned a
91.2
and
90.7
percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company develops, owns and operates predominantly multifamily rental properties located primarily in the Northeast, as well as a portfolio of non-strategic commercial properties and a parcel of land located in the Northeast. The Company recently completed its transition to a pure-play multifamily REIT and is focused on conducting business in a socially, ethically, and environmentally responsible manner, while seeking to maximize value for all stakeholders. Veris Residential, Inc. was incorporated on May 24, 1994.
Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned or had interests in
24
multifamily rental properties as well as non-core assets comprised of
three
office properties and
four
parking/retail properties. The Properties are comprised of: (a)
23
wholly-owned or Company-controlled properties comprised of
17
multifamily properties and
six
non-core assets, and (b)
eight
properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests, including
seven
multifamily properties and a non-core asset
.
On July 25, 2023, Veris Residential Trust ("VRT") and the Operating Partnership entered into a REIT Interest and Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Rockpoint Purchase Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint") pursuant to which VRT and the Operating Partnership acquired from Rockpoint all of the Preferred Units that constituted the Put/Call Interests for an aggregate purchase price of $
520
million (the "Rockpoint Redemption”). The Rockpoint Redemption was completed concurrently with the signing of the agreement. In addition, on July 25, 2023, the Company also entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2023 Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $
60
million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $
115
million senior secured term loan facility (the “2023 Term Loan”), of which the Company drew down on the entire $
115
million 2023 Term Loan and $
52
million of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which along with cash on hand, was used to complete the Rockpoint Redemption. For more information about the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement, 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and 2023 Term Loan, see Part II, Item 5. Other Information.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2 to the 2022 10-K: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following
18
characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.
Under ASC 810, the Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity of the parent company, Veris Residential, Inc. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the balance sheets of Veris Residential, Inc., this has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of Veris Residential, Inc.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures, which are variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, other than Veris Residential Partners, L.P. (See Note 14: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Rockpoint Transaction), have total real estate assets of $
454.6
million and $
468.1
million, respectively, other assets of $
6.6
million and $
6.0
million, respectively, mortgages of $
285.4
million and $
285.5
million, respectively, and other liabilities of $
15.3
million and $
17.3
million, respectively.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these financial statements.
Rental Property
Rental properties are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $
0.2
million and $
0.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $
0.3
million and $
0.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements, which enhance or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.
Included in net investment in rental property as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service, as follows

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than
one year
from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multifamily units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Dividends and Distributions Payable
As a result of the completion of the Company’s transformation to a pure-play multifamily REIT, as well as the Company’s current estimates of taxable income, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the "Board of Directors") has decided to reinstate a quarterly dividend beginning with the third quarter of 2023. The Company will reevaluate its dividend as the Company completes the sale of non-strategic asset sales.
The declaration and payment of dividends and distributions will continue to be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including the Company’s earnings, cash flows, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of debt and equity capital, applicable REIT and legal restrictions and the general overall economic conditions and other factors.
On July 24, 2023, the Company declared a $
0.05
dividend per common share to be payable on October 10, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2023.
The dividends and distributions payable at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 represent amounts payable on unvested LTIP units.

RECENT TRANSACTIONS
Real Estate Held for Sale/Discontinued Operations/Dispositions
The Company has discontinued operations related to its former New Jersey office and hotel portfolio (collectively, the “Office Portfolio”) which represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations beginning in 2019. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company identified
one
additional office property as discontinued operations. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company included as held for sale
two
office properties totaling approximately
0.6
million square feet and several developable land parcels, which are located in Jersey City, Holmdel and Parsippany, New Jersey.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, a land parcel that was previously identified as held for sale was reclassified as held and used. As a result of recent sales contracts in place, the Company determined that the carrying value of
one
office and
three
land parcels held for sale were not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, recognized impairment of $
3.6
million and $
7.0
million, respectively.
The total estimated sales proceeds of real estate held for sale, net of expected selling costs, are expected to be approximately $
131.7
million.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted
24
transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates $
6.4
million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had
four
interest rate caps outstanding with a notional amount of $
548
million designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company announced that its Board of Directors had determined to sell the Company’s entire Office Portfolio, including both the suburban and waterfront office portfolios. As the decision to sell the Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, the results of certain of these properties that were disposed of or classified as held for sale are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
In late 2019 through December 31, 2021, the Company completed the sale of all but
one
of its
37
properties in the suburban office portfolio, totaling
6.3
million square feet, for net sales proceeds of $
1.0
billion. The last property in the suburban office portfolio, a
350,000
square foot office property, was reclassified as held for sale at September 30, 2022, and the Company expects to dispose of this property in the third quarter of 2023. As a result of the sales contract in place, the Company determined that the carrying value of this held for sale property was not expected to be recovered from
25
estimated net sales proceeds and accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2022, recognized an unrealized held for sale loss allowance of $
4.4
million.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company included as discontinued operations several waterfront office properties totaling approximately

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS
On May 6, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2021 Credit Agreement”) with a group of
seven
lenders that provided for a $
250
million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”) and a $
150
million senior secured term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan”), and terminated the 2017 credit agreement on May 13, 2021.
On April 7, 2023, the Company terminated the 2021 Credit Agreement for both the 2021 Credit Facility and 2021 Term Loan. As a result of the termination, the Company has written off the unamortized deferred financing costs in an amount of $
2.7
million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which is recorded within Loss from extinguishment of debt, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2023 Credit Agreement”) with a group of
two
lenders that provides for a $
60
million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $
115
million senior secured term loan facility (the “2023 Term Loan”).
The terms of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility include: (1) a
one-year
term ending in July 2024, subject to one
six-month
extension option; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $
60
million; (3) a first priority lien on the unencumbered property known as The James, a
240
unit multi-family residential property located at 87 Madison Avenue, Park Ridge, New Jersey (the “Collateral Pool Property”); and (4) a commitment fee payable quarterly equal to
35
basis points per annum on the daily unused amount of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
The terms of the 2023 Term Loan included: (1) a
one-year
term ending in July 2024, subject to one
six-month
extension option; (2) a single draw of the term loan commitments up to an aggregate principal amount of $
115
million; and (3) a first priority lien in the Collateral Pool Property.
26
Interest on borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2023 Term Loan shall be based on applicable interest rate (the “Interest Rate”) plus a margin ranging from
250
basis points to
350
basis points (the “Applicable Margin”) depending on the Interest Rate elected, currently 3.5%. With respect to borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2023 Term Loan, the Interest Rate shall be either (A) the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and/or (B) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin or, with respect to the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility only, (C) the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. As used herein: “Alternative Base Rate” means, subject to a floor of
1.00
%, the highest of (i) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the U.S. as the prime rate in effect (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the NYFRB Rate from time to time plus
0.5
% and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month interest period plus
1
%; “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” means, subject to a floor of
0.0
%, the Term SOFR Rate , plus
10
basis points; and “Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate” means, subject to a floor of
0.0
%, for any day, the secured overnight financing rate for such business day published by the NYFRB on the NYFRB’s on the immediately succeeding business day (“SOFR”) plus
10
basis points.
The General Partner and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are the guarantors of the obligations of the Operating Partnership under the 2023 Credit Agreement, and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership also granted the lenders a security interest in certain subsidiary guarantors in order to further secure the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Operating Partnership under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
The 2023 Credit Agreement includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to (a) the maximum total leverage ratio (
65
percent), (b) the minimum debt service coverage ratio (
1.25
times), (c) the minimum tangible net worth ratio (
80
% of tangible net worth as of July 25, 2023 plus
80
% of net cash proceeds of equity issuances by the General Partner or the Operating Partnership), and (d) the maximum unhedged variable rate debt ratio (
30
%). Subject to certain exceptions, the net proceeds from any property sales are to be used to mandatorily repay the 2023 Term Loan until it is retired. In addition, the 2023 Credit Agreement includes a mandatory cash sweep provision that provides that any cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities of the General Partner or Operating Partnership in excess of $
25
million as of the end of the last business day of any calendar week shall be applied to repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
The 2023 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board of Directors, nor appointed by the Board of Directors. If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Operating Partnership could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2023 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Operating Partnership will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.
On July 25, 2023, the Operating Partnership drew the full $
115
million available under the 2023 Term Loan and borrowed $
52
million from the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility which proceeds, together with available cash, were used to fund the purchase price under the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement in Part II, Item 5. On July 26, 2023, the Company paid down a total of $
27
million of borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS
Employees of the General Partner, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Veris Residential, Inc. 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Eligible employees may elect to defer from
one
percent up to
60
percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Company may make discretionary matching or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year. Participants are always
100
percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit sharing contributions made on their behalf after
two years
of service with the Company at a rate of
20
percent per year, becoming
100
percent vested after a total of
six years
of service with the Company. All contributions are allocated as a percentage of compensation of the eligible participants for the Plan year. The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust and a separate account is established for each participant. A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the 401(k) Plan in a single sum or in installment payments upon his or her termination of service with the Company. Total expense recognized by the Company for the 401(k) Plan for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $
129
thousand and $
148
thousand, respectively and $
277
thousand and $
330
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets and liabilities at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $
1.7
billion and $
1.8
billion as compared to the book value of approximately $
1.8
billion and $
1.9
billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was valued using level 3 inputs (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
29
The notes receivable by the Company are presented at the lower of cost basis or net amount expected to be collected in accordance with ASC 326. For its seller-financing note receivable provided to the buyers of the Metropark portfolio, the Company calculated the net present value of contractual cash flows of the total receivable.
The fair value measurements used in the evaluation of the Company’s rental properties for impairment analysis are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as there are significant unobservable assumptions. Assumptions that were utilized in the fair value calculations include, but are not limited to, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, room rental and food and beverage revenue rates, third-party broker information and information from potential buyers, as applicable.
Valuations of real estate identified as held for sale are based on estimated sale prices, net of estimated selling costs, of such property. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of unobservable assumptions, including, but not limited to, the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights or plans for the land.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company included as held for sale
two
office properties totaling approximately
0.6
million square feet and several developable land parcels, which are located in Jersey City, Holmdel and Parsippany, New Jersey.
As a result of recent sales contracts in place, the Company determined that the carrying value of
one
office and
three
land parcels held for sale were not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, recognized impairment charges of $
3.6
million and $
7.0
million, respectively.
Disclosure about fair value of assets and liabilities is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

847
thousand and $
562
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
In accordance with ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), the Company capitalized operating leases for
one
office and
two
ground leases, which had a total balance of $
7.6
million at June 30, 2023. Such amount represents the net present value (“NPV”) of future payments detailed above. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to arrive at the NPV was
6.6
percent for the weighted average lease terms of
35.7
years years. These rates were arrived at by adjusting the fixed and floating rates of the Company’s mortgage debt with debt having terms approximating the remaining lease term of the Company’s office and ground leases and calculating notional rates for fully-collateralized loans.
The initial recognition of a lease liability and right-of-use asset in an amount of $
4.7
million for the office lease is a noncash activity.
OTHER
As of June 30, 2023, the Company has outstanding stay-on award agreements with
23
employees, which provides them with the potential to receive compensation, in cash or Company stock at the employees’ option, contingent upon remaining with the Company in good standing until the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, which have not been identified.
32
The total potential cost of such awards is currently estimated to be up to approximately $
2.9
million, including the potential future issuance of up to
42,095
shares of the Company’s common stock. Such cash or stock awards would only be earned and payable if such transaction was identified and communicated to the employee within
seven years
of the agreement dates, most of which were signed in late 2020 and early 2021, and all other conditions were satisfied.

REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Convertible units for which the Company has the option to settle redemption amounts in cash or Common Stock are included in the caption Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries within the equity section on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Rockpoint Transaction
On February 27, 2017, the Company, Veris Residential Trust (“VRT”), the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multifamily residential real estate operations, Veris Residential Partners, L.P. (“VRLP”), the operating partnership through which VRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for VRT to contribute property to VRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in VRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in VRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $
300
million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in VRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $
150
million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“VRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $
1.23
billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $
105
million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2019, a total additional amount of $
45
million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $
300
million. In addition, certain contributions of property to VRLP by VRT subsequent to the execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in VRT being issued approximately $
46
million of Preferred Units and Common Units in VRLP prior to June 26, 2019.
On June 26, 2019, the Company, VRT, VRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $
100
million in Preferred Units and the Company and VRT agreed to contribute to VRLP
two
additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Company used the $
100
million in proceeds received to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt by June 30, 2019. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $
100
million in Preferred Units in the event VRT determines that VRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, VRLP may issue up to approximately $
154
million in Preferred Units to VRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding VRT determines in good faith that VRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $
371
thousand in fees associated with the modifications of the Original Investment Agreement, which were made upon signing of the Add On Investment Agreement.
Under the terms of the new transaction with Rockpoint, set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of VRLP, dated as of June 28, 2019 (the “VRLP Partnership Agreement”), the cash flow from operations of VRLP will be distributable to Rockpoint and VRT as follows:
•
first, to provide a
6
% annual return to Rockpoint and VRT on their capital invested in Preferred Units (the “Preferred Base Return”);
•
second,
95.36
% to VRT and
4.64
% to Rockpoint until VRT has received a
6
% annual return (the “VRT Base Return”) on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to VRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously
95
% and
5
%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event VRT contributes additional property to VRLP in the future; and
•
third, pro rata to Rockpoint and VRT based on total respective capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred Units and Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $
400
million of invested capital at June 30, 2023, this pro rata distribution would be approximately
21.89
% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units,
2.65
% to VRT in respect of Preferred Units and
75.46
% to VRT in respect of Common Units).
VRLP’s cash flow from capital events will generally be distributable by VRLP to Rockpoint and VRT as follows:
•
first, to Rockpoint and VRT to the extent there is any unpaid, accrued Preferred Base Return;
•
second, as a return of capital to Rockpoint and to VRT in respect of Preferred Units;
•
third,
95.36
% to VRT and
4.64
% to Rockpoint until VRT has received the VRT Base Return in respect of Common Units (previously
95
% and
5
%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event VRT contributes additional property to VRLP in the future;
•
fourth,
95.36
% to VRT and
4.64
% to Rockpoint until VRT has received a return of capital based on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to VRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously
95
% and
5
%,
34
respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event VRT contributes additional property to the capital of VRLP in the future;
•
fifth, pro rata to Rockpoint and VRT based on respective total capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred and Common Units until Rockpoint has received an
11
% internal rate of return (based on Rockpoint’s $
400
million of invested capital at June 30, 2023, this pro rata distribution would be approximately
21.89
% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units,
2.65
% to VRT in respect of Preferred Units and
75.46
% to VRT in respect of Common Units); and
•
sixth, to Rockpoint and VRT in respect of their Preferred Units based on
50
% of their pro rata shares described in “fifth” above and the balance to VRT in respect of its Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $
400
million of invested capital at June 30, 2023, this pro rata distribution would be approximately
10.947
% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units,
1.325
% to VRT in respect of Preferred Units and
87.728
% to VRT in respect of Common Units).
In general, VRLP may not sell its properties in taxable transactions, although it may engage in tax-deferred like-kind exchanges of properties or it may proceed in another manner designed to avoid the recognition of gain for tax purposes.
In connection with the Add On Investment Agreement, on June 26, 2019, VRT increased the size of its board of trustees from
six
to
seven
persons, with
five
trustees being designated by the Company and
two
trustees being designated by Rockpoint.
In addition, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, VRT and VRLP are required to obtain Rockpoint’s consent with respect to:
•
debt financings in excess of a
65
% loan-to-value ratio;
•
corporate level financings that are pari-passu or senior to the Preferred Units;
•
new investment opportunities to the extent the opportunity requires an equity capitalization in excess of
10
% of VRLP’s NAV;
•
new investment opportunities located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area where VRLP owns no property as of the previous quarter;
•
declaration of bankruptcy of VRT;
•
transactions between VRT and the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions;
•
any equity granted or equity incentive plan adopted by VRLP or any of its subsidiaries; and
•
certain matters relating to the Credit Enhancement Note (as defined below) between the Company and VRLP (other than ordinary course borrowings or repayments thereunder).
Under a Discretionary Demand Promissory Note (the “Credit Enhancement Note”), the Company may provide periodic cash advances to VRLP. The Credit Enhancement Note provides for an interest rate equal to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus fifty (
50
) basis points above the applicable interest rate under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The maximum aggregate principal amount of advances at any one time outstanding under the Credit Enhancement Note is limited to $
50
million, an increase of $
25
million from the prior transaction.
VRT and VRLP also have agreed, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, to register the Preferred Units under certain circumstances in the future in the event VRT or VRLP becomes a publicly traded company.
During the period commencing on June 28, 2019 and ended on March 1, 2023 (the “Lockout Period”), Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units cannot be redeemed or repurchased, except in connection with (a) a sale of all or substantially all of VRLP or a sale of a majority of the then-outstanding interests in VRLP, in each case, which sale is not approved by Rockpoint, or (b) a spin-out or initial public offering of common stock of VRT, or distributions of VRT equity interests by the Company or its affiliates to shareholders or their respective parent interest holders (an acquisition pursuant clauses (a) or (b) above, an “Early Purchase”). VRT has the right to acquire Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units in connection with an Early Purchase for a purchase price generally equal to (i) the amount that Rockpoint would receive upon the sale of the assets of VRLP for fair market value and a distribution of the net sale proceeds in accordance with (A) the capital event distribution priorities discussed above (in the case of certain Rockpoint Preferred Holders) and (B) the distribution priorities applicable in the case of a liquidation of VRLP (in the case of the other Rockpoint Preferred Holder), plus (ii) a make whole premium (such purchase price, the “Purchase Payment”). The make whole premium is an amount equal to (i) $
173.5
million until December 28, 2020, or $
198.5
million thereafter, less distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint with
35
respect to its Preferred Base Return or any deficiency therein, plus (ii) $
1.5
million less certain other distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint.
The fair market value of VRLP’s assets is determined by a third party appraisal of the net asset value (“NAV”) of VRLP and the fair market value of VRLP’s assets, to be completed within ninety (
90
) calendar days of March 1, 2023 and annually thereafter.
After the Lockout Period, either VRT may acquire from Rockpoint, or Rockpoint may sell to VRT, all, but not less than all, of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units (each, a “Put/Call Event”) for a purchase price equal to the Purchase Payments (determined without regard to the make whole premium and any related tax allocations). An acquisition of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units pursuant to a Put/Call Event is generally required to be structured as a purchase of the common equity in the applicable Rockpoint entities holding direct or indirect interests in the Preferred Units (the “Put/Call Interests”). Subject to certain exceptions, Rockpoint also has a right of first offer and a participation right with respect to other common equity interests of VRLP or any subsidiary of VRLP that may be offered for sale by VRLP or its subsidiaries from time to time. Upon a Put/Call Event, other than in the event of a sale of VRLP, Rockpoint may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of its Preferred Units to Common Units in VRLP.
As such, the Preferred Units contain a substantive redemption feature that is outside of the Company’s control and accordingly, pursuant to ASC 480-1—S99-3A, the Preferred Units were previously classified in mezzanine equity measured based on the estimated future redemption value before the redemption right was exercised.
On April 5, 2023, VRT delivered notice to Rockpoint that VRT was exercising its right to purchase and redeem the Put/Call Interests from Rockpoint. On April 6, 2023, Rockpoint delivered notice to VRT that Rockpoint was exercising its right under the VRLP Partnership Agreement to defer the closing of VRT’s purchase and redemption of the Put/Call Interests for one year.
Within ninety (
90
) days of March 1, 2024, VRLP must engage an appraiser mutually agreed by VRT and Rockpoint or otherwise selected pursuant to VRLP Partnership Agreement, to determine the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets, which valuation will be used to determine the Purchase Payments (determined without regard to the make whole premium). Closing of (i) the purchase and redemption of the Put/Call Interests, or, (ii) if a Rockpoint conversion election has been made, the issuance of Common Interests in VRLP will occur within thirty (
30
) calendar days following the determination of the fair market value of VRLP’s assets and the Purchase Payments (determined without regard to the make whole premium), which closing will occur no earlier than the second quarter of 2024.
The exercise of the call right caused Rockpoint's interests to be reclassified as mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests under the accounting guidance, and included within the Total liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of subsequent change in redemption value at each period end is recorded as interest cost. The carrying amount is not reduced below the initially measurement amount.
The Company determines the redemption value of these interests by hypothetically liquidating the estimated NAV of the VRT real estate portfolio including debt principal through the applicable waterfall provisions of the new transaction with Rockpoint. The estimation of NAV includes unobservable inputs that consider assumptions of market participants in pricing the underlying assets of VRLP. For properties under development, the Company applies a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows allocable to the Company during the period under construction and then applies a direct capitalization method to the estimated stabilized cash flows. For operating properties, the direct capitalization method is used by applying a capitalization rate to the projected net operating income. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is considered based on development rights or plans for the land. Estimated future cash flows used in such analyses are based on the Company’s business plan for each respective property including capital expenditures, management’s views of market and economic conditions, and considers items such as current and future rental rates, occupancies and market transactions for comparable properties. The estimated future redemption value of the Preferred Units, including current preferred return payments of $
2.0
million is approximately $
487.6
million as of June 30, 2023.
On July 25, 2023, VRT and the Operating Partnership entered into the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement with Rockpoint pursuant to which VRT and the Operating Partnership acquired from Rockpoint all of the Preferred Units that constituted the Put/Call Interests for an aggregate purchase price of $
520
million.
Under the terms of the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement, the Original Investment Agreement and the Add On Investment Agreement have been terminated and are of no further force and effect (other than certain tax and related indemnification rights and obligations), Rockpoint ceased to be, direct or indirect, as applicable, members of VRLP, and all obligations of VRT and VRLP and all rights, title and interest
36
of Rockpoint in and pursuant to the VRLP Partnership Agreement (except for certain tax, confidentiality and indemnification rights and obligations) and all other agreements by and between the General Partner, the Operating Partnership, VRT, VRLP and Rockpoint were terminated, including without limitation all provisions relating to the valuation and repurchase of the Put/Call Interests.
Preferred Units
On February 3, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued
42,800
shares of a new class of
3.5
percent Series A Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A Units”). The Series A Units were issued to the Company’s partners in the Plaza VIII & IX Associates L.L.C. joint venture that owns a development site adjacent to the Company’s Harborside property in Jersey City, New Jersey as non-cash consideration for their approximate
37.5
percent interest in the joint venture.
Each Series A Unit has a stated value of $
1,000
, pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate of
3.5
percent (subject to increase under certain circumstances), is convertible into
28.15
common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally
five years
from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to
1,204,820
common units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $
35.52
per common unit. The Series A Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the common units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning
five years
from the date of issuance at the option of the holder. During the six months ended June 30, 2022,
12,000
Series A Units were redeemed for cash at the stated value.
On February 28, 2017, the Operating Partnership authorized the issuance of
9,213
shares of a new class of
3.5
percent Series A-1 Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A-1 Units”).
9,122
Series A-1 Units were issued on February 28, 2017 and an additional
91
Series A-1 Units were issued in April 2017 pursuant to acquiring additional interests in a joint venture that owns Monaco Towers in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Series A-1 Units were issued as non-cash consideration for the partner’s approximate
13.8
percent ownership interest in the joint venture.
Each Series A-1 Unit has a stated value of $
1,000
(the “Stated Value”), pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate equal to the greater of (x)
3.50
percent, or (y) the then-effective annual dividend yield on the General Partner’s common stock, and is convertible into
27.936
common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally
five years
from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to
257,375
Common Units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $
35.80
per common unit. The Series A-1 Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the Common Units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events. The Series A-1 Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning
five years
from the date of issuance at the option of the holder. The Series A-1 Units are pari passu with the
3.5
% Series A Units issued on February 3, 2017.

VERIS RESIDENTIAL, INC. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND VERIS RESIDENTIAL, L.P.’S PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the General Partner may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the General Partner, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the General Partner will not fail this test, the General Partner’s Charter provides, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the General Partner must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.
Partners’ Capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to (a) General Partners’ capital consisting of common units in the Operating Partnership held by the General Partner, and (b) Limited Partners’ capital consisting of common units and LTIP units held by the limited partners. See Note 16: Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The General Partner has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately
5.4
million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $
5,000
a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for the approximately
5.4
million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.
INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
In May 2013, the General Partner established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of
4,600,000
shares has been reserved for issuance. In June 2021, stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the 2013 Plan to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under the plan from
4,600,000
to
6,565,000
shares.
Stock Options
In addition to stock options issued in June 2021 under the 2013 Plan, in March 2021, the General Partner granted
950,000
stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of $
15.79
per share to the Chief Executive Officer as an employment “inducement award” that is intended to comply with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08. In April 2022, the General Partner granted
250,000
stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of $
16.33
per share to the Chief Investment Officer as an employment “inducement award” that is intended to comply with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08.
There were
no
stock options that were exercised under any stock option plans for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately
4.1
and
4.6
years, respectively.
The Company recognized stock options expense of $
322
thousand and $
309
thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $
644
thousand and $
562
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Appreciation-Only LTIP Units
In March 2019, the Company granted
625,000
Appreciation-Only LTIP Units (“AO LTIP Units”) which were a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that were intended to qualify as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes. The AO LTIP Units were cancelled and forfeited in March 2023 as they did not vest.
The Company recognized AO LTIP unit expense of
zero
and $
156
thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and $
124
thousand and $
311
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Time-based Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
The Company has issued restricted stock units and common stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the General Partner’s common stock generally over a
one-year
to
three-year
vesting period. On June 14, 2023, the Company issued Restricted Stock Awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors which vest within
one year
, of which
54,184
unvested Restricted Stock Awards were outstanding at June 30, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted restricted stock units to certain non-executive employees of the Company which will vest after
three years
, of which
358,164
were still outstanding and unvested as of June 30, 2023. Restricted Stock Awards allow holders to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. Vesting of the Restricted Stock Awards issued is based on time and service. All currently
40
outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers, certain other employees, and members of the Board of Directors were issued under the 2013 Plan and as inducement awards.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $
4.4
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.6
years.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
The Company has granted long-term incentive plans awards (“LTIP Awards”) to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. LTIP Awards generally are granted in the form of restricted stock units (each, an “RSU” and collectively, the “RSU LTIP Awards”) and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. Prior to 2021, LTIP Awards were in the form of LTIP Units. LTIP Awards are typically issued from the Company’s Outperformance Plan adopted by the Board of Directors. Each RSU entitles the holder to one share of the General Partner's common stock upon vesting. LTIP Awards are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent that awards vest. The number of market-based and performance-based LTIP Units that actually vest for each award recipient will be determined at the end of the related measurement period.
In 2021, the Company has adopted an annual LTIP Award grant program in the form of RSUs. A portion of the RSUs are subject to time-based vesting conditions and will vest in
three
equal, annual installments over a
three year
period ending on the three year anniversary of the grant date. Currently, there are
427,099
awards outstanding and unvested.
Another portion of the annual LTIP Awards have market-based vesting conditions, and recipients will only earn the full amount of the market-based RSUs if, over the
three-year
performance period, the General Partner achieves an absolute TSR target and if the General Partner’s relative TSR as compared to a group of peer REITs exceeds certain thresholds. The market-based award targets are determined annually by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. Currently, there are
580,415
awards outstanding and unvested.
In addition, the Company has granted RSUs subject to the achievement of adjusted funds from operations targets. The RSU LTIP Awards are designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a
three years
performance period. Currently there are
627,644
awards outstanding and unvested.
In April 2022, the General Partner granted approximately
60,000
RSUs subject to time-vesting conditions, vesting over
three years
, to
three
executive officers as “inducement awards” intended to comply with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08.
Prior to vesting, recipients of LTIP Units will generally be entitled to receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth of the regular quarterly distributions payable on a common share but will not be entitled to receive any special distributions. Distributions with respect to the other nine-tenths of regular quarterly distributions payable on a common unit will accrue but shall only become payable upon vesting of the LTIP Unit.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $
12.3
million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested LTIP awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
1.9
years.
Deferred Stock Compensation Plan For Directors
The Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to
100
percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022,
5,379
and
8,234
deferred stock units were earned, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022,
12,950
and
14,417
deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As
41
of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were
59,874
and
66,196
deferred stock units outstanding, respectively. Pursuant to the retirement of a director from the Board of Directors in May 2023, the Company converted
20,767
deferred stock units into shares of common stock.
EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT
Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and EPU, a redemption value adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests attributable to common shareholders or unitholders is included in the calculation to arrive at the numerator of net income (loss) available to common shareholders or unitholders.
The following information presents the Company’s results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share

Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interests unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its
45
ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent. Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Veris Residential, Inc. stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has increased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and decreased additional paid-in capital in Veris Residential, Inc. stockholders’ equity by approximately $
3.0
million as of June 30, 2023.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP (applicable only to General Partner)
Common Units
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company redeemed for cash
6,168
common units at their fair value of $
94
thousand.
Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of Common Stock of the General Partner have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows:
one
share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the General Partner or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ equity is increased.
LTIP Units
From time to time, the Company has granted LTIP awards to executive officers of the Company. All of the LTIP Awards granted through January 2021 are in the form of units in the Operating Partnership. See Note 15: Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ Equity and Veris Residential, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards.
LTIP Units are designed to qualify as “profits interests” in the Operating Partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a general matter, the profits interests characteristics of the LTIP Units mean that initially they will not be economically equivalent in value to a common unit. If and when events specified by applicable tax regulations occur, LTIP Units can over time increase in value up to the point where they are equivalent to common units on a
one
-for-one basis. After LTIP Units are fully vested, and to the extent the special tax rules applicable to profits interests have allowed them to become equivalent in value to common units, LTIP Units may be converted on a
one
-for-one basis into common units. Common units in turn have a
one
-for-one relationship in value with shares of the General Partner’s common stock, and are redeemable on a
one
-for-one basis for cash or, at the election of the Company, shares of the General Partner’s common stock.
AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)
On March 13, 2019, the Company granted

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Veris Residential, Inc. and Veris Residential, L.P. and the notes thereto (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Certain defined terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Financial Statements.
Executive Overview
Veris Residential, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “General Partner”), including Veris Residential, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 60 years and the General Partner has been a publicly traded REIT since 1994.
The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing management, leasing, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Veris property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies, is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company owns or has interests in 31 properties (collectively, the “Properties”) and developable land parcels. These Properties are comprised of 24 multifamily rental properties containing 7,681 apartment units as well as non-core assets comprised of three office properties, four parking/retail properties and eight properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests, including seven multifamily properties and a non-core asset. The Properties are located in three states in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.
On July 25, 2023, Veris Residential Trust ("VRT") and the Operating Partnership entered into a REIT Interest and Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Rockpoint Purchase Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint") pursuant to which VRT and the Operating Partnership acquired from Rockpoint all of the Preferred Units that constituted the Put/Call Interests for an aggregate purchase price of $520 million (the "Rockpoint Redemption”). The Rockpoint Redemption was completed concurrently with the signing of the agreement. In addition, on July 25, 2023, the Company also entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2023 Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $60 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $115 million senior secured term loan facility (the “2023 Term Loan”), of which the Company drew down on the entire $115 million 2023 Term Loan and $52 million of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which along with cash on hand, was used to complete the Rockpoint Redemption. For more information about the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement, 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, and 2023 Term Loan, see Part II, Item 5. Other Information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – to the Financial Statements, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.
51
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these financial statements.
52

Revenue from leases.
Revenue from leases for the Same-Store Properties increased $5.2 million, or 10.9 percent, for 2023 as compared to 2022, due primarily to an increase in market rental rates and a reduction in concessions of the multifamily rental properties.
Parking income.
Parking income for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.4 million, or 8.9 percent, for 2023 as compared to 2022 due primarily to increased usage at the parking garages in 2023 as compared to 2022.
Other income.
Other income for the Same-Store Properties remained relatively unchanged.
Real estate taxes
. Real estate taxes for the Same-Store Properties decreased $0.6 million, or 7.7 percent, for 2023 as compared to 2022, due primarily to prior period tax appeal refunds received on several properties offset by increased tax rates primarily related to properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Utilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Overview
Rental revenue is the Company’s principal source of funds to pay its material cash commitments consisting of operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures. To the extent that the Company’s cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to finance its non-recurring capital expenditures such as property acquisitions, development and construction costs and other capital expenditures, the Company has and expects to continue to finance such activities through other debt and equity financings, proceeds from the sale of properties and joint venture capital.
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, which may include proceeds from the sales of rental properties and land, and net cash provided by operating activities.
On July 25, 2023, VRT and the Operating Partnership acquired from Rockpoint all of the Preferred Units that constituted the Put/Call Interests for an aggregate purchase price of $520 million (the "Rockpoint Redemption"). See Part II, Item 5, for a discussion of the terms and conditions of the purchase of these interests from Rockpoint.
REIT Restrictions
To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the IRS Code, the General Partner must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains. However, any such distributions, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt. If and to the extent the Company retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.
As a result of the completion of the Company’s transformation to a pure-play multifamily REIT, as well as the Company’s current estimates of taxable income, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the "Board of Directors") has decided to reinstate a quarterly dividend beginning with the third quarter of 2023. The Company will reevaluate its dividend as the Company completes the sale of non-strategic asset sales.
The declaration and payment of dividends and distributions will continue to be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including the Company’s earnings, cash flows, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of debt and equity capital, applicable REIT and legal restrictions and the general overall economic conditions and other factors.
On July 24, 2023, the Company declared a $0.05 dividend per common share to be payable on October 10, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2023.
The dividends and distributions payable at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 represent amounts payable on unvested LTIP units.
Unencumbered Properties
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had three unencumbered property with a carrying value of $173.1 million representing 13.0 percent of the Company’s total consolidated property count.
Cash Flows
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by $376.9 million to $424.6 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $47.6 million at December 31, 2022. This increase is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
On May 6, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2021 Credit Agreement”) with a group of seven lenders that provides for a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”) and a $150 million senior secured term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan”), and terminated the 2017 credit agreement on May 13, 2021.
On April 7, 2023, the Company terminated the 2021 Credit Agreement for both the 2021 Credit Facility and 2021 Term Loan. As a result of the termination, the Company has written off the unamortized deferred financing costs in an amount of $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which is recorded within Loss from extinguishment of debt, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On July 25, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2023 Credit Agreement”) with a group of two lenders that provides for a $60 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $115 million senior secured term loan facility (the “2023 Term Loan”).
The terms of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility include: (1) a one-year term ending in July 2024, subject to one six-month extension option; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60 million; (3) a first priority lien in unencumber property known as The James, a 240 unit multi-family residential property located at 87 Madison Avenue, Park Ridge, New Jersey (the “Collateral Pool Property”); and (4) a commitment fee payable quarterly equal to 35 basis points per annum on the daily unused amount of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
The terms of the 2023 Term Loan included: (1) a one-year term ending in July 2024, subject to one six-month extension option; (2) a single draw of the term loan commitments up to an aggregate principal amount of $115 million; and (3) a first priority lien in the Collateral Pool Property.
Interest on borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and 2023 Term Loan shall be based on applicable interest rate (the “Interest Rate”) plus a margin ranging from 250 basis points to 350 basis points (the “Applicable Margin”) depending on the Interest Rate elected, currently 3.5%. With respect to borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2023 Term Loan, the Interest Rate shall be either (A) the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and/or (B) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin or, with respect to the 2023 Revolving Credit
62
Facility only, (C) the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
As used herein: “Alternative Base Rate” means, subject to a floor of 1.00%, the highest of (i) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the U.S. as the prime rate in effect (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the NYFRB Rate from time to time plus 0.5% and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month interest period plus 1%; “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” means, subject to a floor of 0.0%, the Term SOFR Rate , plus 10 basis points; and “Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate” means, subject to a floor of 0.0%, for any day, the secured overnight financing rate for such business day published by the NYFRB on the NYFRB’s on the immediately succeeding business day (“SOFR”) plus 10 basis points.
The General Partner and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are the guarantors of the obligations of the Operating Partnership under the 2023 Credit Agreement, and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership
also granted the lenders a security interest in certain subsidiary guarantors in order to further secure the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Operating Partnership under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
The 2023 Credit Agreement includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to (a) the maximum total leverage ratio (65 percent), (b) the minimum debt service coverage ratio (1.25 times), (c) the minimum tangible net worth ratio (80% of tangible net worth as of July 25, 2023 plus 80% of net cash proceeds of equity issuances by the General Partner or the Operating Partnership), and (d) the maximum unhedged variable rate debt ratio (30%). Subject to certain exceptions, the net proceeds from any property sales are to be used to mandatorily repay the 2023 Term Loan until it is retired. In addition, the 2023 Credit Agreement includes a mandatory cash sweep provision that provides that any cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities of the General Partner or Operating Partnership in excess of $25 million as of the end of the last business day of any calendar week shall be applied to repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
The 2023 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board of Directors, nor appointed by the Board of Directors. If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Operating Partnership could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2023 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Operating Partnership will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.
On July 25, 2023, the Operating Partnership drew the full $115 million available under the 2023 Term Loan and borrowed $52 million from the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility which proceeds, together with available cash, were used to fund the purchase price under the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement in Part II, Item 5. On July 26, 2023, the Company paid down a total of $27 million of borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations
The Company has other mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.
Debt Strategy
The Company intends to utilize a combination of corporate and property level indebtedness. The Company will seek to refinance or retire its debt obligations at maturity with either available proceeds received from the Company’s planned non-strategic asset sales, as well as with new corporate or property level indebtedness on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may use cash on hand to repay the debt. The Company is continually evaluating its financing and refinancing options, including the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt or common and preferred stock, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt of the Operating Partnership, some or all of which may be completed in 2023. The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of real estate assets

and joint ventures investments, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs in the short term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, or if capital needs to fund acquisition and development opportunities in the multifamily rental sector arise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.
Equity Financing and Registration Statements
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately 5.4 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the approximately 5.4 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.
Shelf Registration Statements
The General Partner has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, and/or warrants of the General Partner, under which no securities have been sold as of July 24, 2023.
The General Partner and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the General Partner and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which no securities have been sold as of July 24, 2023.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt
The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally provides for recourse to the Company for customary matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding balance of such debt totaled $18.2 million of which $2 million was guaranteed by the Company.
The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.
Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) (available to common stock and unit holders) is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests in Operating Partnership, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from depreciable rental property transactions (including both acquisitions and dispositions), and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that as FFO excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from property transactions and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).
64
As the Company considers its primary earnings measure, net income available to common shareholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO, the following table presents a reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO, as calculated in accordance with NAREIT’s current definition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We consider portions of this information, including the documents incorporated by reference, to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of such act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “potential,” “projected,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “continue” or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:
•
risks and uncertainties affecting the general economic climate and conditions, which in turn may have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business and the financial condition of our tenants and residents;
•
the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;
•
the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;
•
our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;
•
changes in the supply of and demand for our properties;
•
changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the securities markets;
65
•
our ability to complete construction and development activities on time and within budget, including without limitation obtaining regulatory permits and the availability and cost of materials, labor and equipment;
•
our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel;
•
forward-looking financial and operational information, including information relating to future development projects, potential acquisitions or dispositions, leasing activities, capitalization rates, and projected revenue and income;
•
changes in operating costs;
•
our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for natural disasters and terrorist acts;
•
our credit worthiness and the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;
•
changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and
•
other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants or residents will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.
For further information on factors which could impact us and the statements contained herein, see Item 1A: Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We assume no obligation to update and supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from its indebtedness primarily from loss resulting from interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing fixed rate indebtedness or by hedging the majority of its floating rate indebtedness with interest rate swaps or caps, as appropriate.
Approximately $1.8 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of June 30, 2023 bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The effective interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt as of June 30, 2023 ranged from LIBOR/SOFR plus 141 basis points to LIBOR/SOFR plus 275 basis points. Assuming interest-rate swaps and caps are not in effect as of June 30, 2023, if market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $5.5 million annually. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's indebtedness with an aggregate principal balance of $1.8 billion had an estimated aggregate fair value of $1.7 billion and if market rates of interest increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2022 would be approximately $49.2 million higher or lower, respectively.
The following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility
On July 25, 2023, the Operating Partnership entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement dated as of July 25, 2023 (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) among the Operating Partnership, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as syndication agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners (collectively, the “Lenders”). The General Partner is the guarantor of the obligations of the Operating Partnership under the 2023 Credit Agreement pursuant to a Parent Guaranty dated July 25, 2023 of the General Partner in favor of the Lenders (the “Parent Guaranty”). In addition, certain subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) of the Operating Partnership fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of the Operating Partnership under the 2023 Credit Agreement pursuant to a Subsidiary Guaranty dated July 25, 2023 of the Subsidiary Guarantors in favor of the Lenders (the “Subsidiary Guaranty”). In furtherance of the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Operating Partnership and certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Subsidiary Pledgors”) also entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement with the Administrative Agent dated July 25, 2023 granting the Administrative Agent a security interest in certain Subsidiary Guarantors in order to further secure the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of the Operating Partnership under the 2023 Credit Agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”).
Pursuant to the 2023 Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership entered into a $60 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2023 Revolving Credit Facility") and a $115 million senior secured term loan facility (the “2023 Term Loan”).
The material terms of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility provide for:
1. A one-year term ending on July 25, 2024, subject to one six-month extension option;
2. Revolving credit loans may be made to the Operating Partnership in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60 million;
3. A first priority lien on the Operating Partnership’s unencumbered property known as The James, a 240 unit multi-family residential property located at 87 Madison Avenue, Park Ridge, New Jersey (the “Collateral Pool Property”); and
4. A commitment fee payable quarterly equal to 35 basis points per annum on the daily unused amount of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
The material terms of the 2023 Term Loan provide for:
1. A one-year term ending on July 25, 2024, subject to one six-month extension option;
2. A single draw of the term loan commitments up to an aggregate principal amount of $115 million; and
3. A first priority lien in the Collateral Pool Property.
There is no premium or penalty associated with full or partial prepayment of borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement (other than customary break funding payments for loans bearing interest based on the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate).
69
Interest on borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and 2023 Term Loan shall be based on applicable interest rate (the “Interest Rate”) plus a margin ranging from 250 basis points to 350 basis points (the “Applicable Margin”) depending on the Interest Rate elected, currently 3.5%. With respect to borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2023 Term Loan, the Interest Rate shall be either (A) the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and/or (B) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin or, with respect to the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility only, (C) the Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
As used herein: “Alternative Base Rate” means, subject to a floor of 1.00%, the highest of (i) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the U.S. as the prime rate in effect (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the NYFRB Rate from time to time plus 0.5% and (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month interest period plus 1%; “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” means, subject to a floor of 0.0%, the Term SOFR Rate , plus 10 basis points; and “Adjusted Daily Effective SOFR Rate” means, subject to a floor of 0.0%, for any day, the secured overnight financing rate for such business day published by the NYFRB on the NYFRB’s on the immediately succeeding business day (“SOFR”) plus 10 basis points.
The 2023 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2023 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to (a) the maximum total leverage ratio (65 percent), (b) the minimum debt service coverage ratio (1.25 times), (c) the minimum tangible net worth ratio (80% of tangible net worth as of July 25, 2023 plus 80% of net cash proceeds of equity issuances by the General Partner or the Operating Partnership), and (d) the maximum unhedged variable rate debt ratio (30%). Subject to certain exceptions, the net proceeds from any property sales are to be used to mandatorily repay the 2023 Term Loan until it is retired. In addition, the 2023 Credit Agreement includes a mandatory cash sweep provision that provides that any cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities of the General Partner or Operating Partnership in excess of $25 million as of the end of the last business day of any calendar week shall be applied to repayment of any outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
The 2023 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board of Directors, nor appointed by the Board of Directors. If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Operating Partnership could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Operating Partnership would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2023 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Operating Partnership will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.
In connection with the 2023 Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership paid an aggregate of approximately $1.8 million in facilities, upfront and administrative fees to the administrative agent and Lenders of the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and 2023 Term Loan.
On July 25, 2023, the Operating Partnership drew the full $115 million available under the 2023 Term Loan and borrowed $52 million from the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility which proceeds, together with available cash, were used to fund the purchase price under the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement described above. On July 26, 2023, the Company paid down a total of $27 million of borrowings under the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility.
The foregoing summaries are qualified entirely by reference to the 2023 Credit Agreement, the Parent Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty, and the Pledge and Security Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.5 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Information about the 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and 2023 Term Loan and the 2023 Credit Agreement, the Parent Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty, and the Pledge and Security Agreement is being disclosed under Part II, Item 5 of Form 10-Q in lieu of separate disclosure under Items 1.01, 2.03 and 9.01 of Form 8-K.
