The 2016 annual dividend was $2.52 per share, which included $.15 per share of income from the sale of an interest in 7 West 34 Street, partially offset by a loss on the disposition of the Skyline properties.

Taxable income included in the 2017 annual dividend attributable to fees and interest charged by Vornado to its TRS which is developing the 220 Central Park South residential condominium is projected to be $.48 per share. In the 2016 annual dividend, the taxable income from 220 Central Park South was $.33 per share. The taxable income from 220 Central Park South began in 2015 when construction commenced and is expected to end in 2019 when the project is completed.

Adjusting for the above items, Vornado's recurring taxable income included in the 2016 annual dividend was $1.48 per share, which is being increased $.32 per share or 21.6% to a 2017 annual dividend rate of $1.80 per share.
