Item 1.01           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 12, 2016, 731 Office One LLC (“Landlord”), a 100% owned subsidiary of Alexander’s, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into the Second Amendment of Lease (the “Second Amendment”) with Bloomberg L.P. (“Tenant”), which amends the Agreement of Lease, dated as of April 30, 2001, between Seven Thirty One Limited Partnership, Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest, and Tenant, as amended by a First Amendment of Lease, dated April 19, 2002 (the “Amended Original Lease”) (the Amended Original Lease, together with the Second Amendment thereto, being referred to herein, collectively, as the “Lease”).  The Lease relates to office space at the Company’s 731 Lexington Avenue property in Manhattan, New York.

The Second Amendment amends the Amended Original Lease to include approximately 192,000 rentable square feet (the “Additional Space”), thereby increasing the aggregate amount of rentable square feet subject to the Amended Original Lease to approximately 889,000.  The Additional Space was previously leased by Landlord to Tenant under two separate lease agreements for terms expiring in December 2020. Under the Second Amendment, the term of the Additional Space has been extended to be coterminous with the term of the Amended Original Lease, which expires on February 8, 2029, and, as part of the Amended Original Lease term, may be further extended at Tenant’s option through February 8, 2039. Tenant is obligated to pay annual rent for the Additional Space, on a net basis, equal to (i) for the current Lease term, $83.00 per rentable square foot, escalated by 11% every four years and (ii) for any extension Lease term, the greater of such escalated rent, escalated by 11% every four years, and the fair rental value of the Additional Space.

Tenant is required to deliver a $200,000,000 letter of credit to and for the benefit of Landlord no later than February 1, 2016.  Landlord may draw on the letter of credit subject to certain terms of the Lease, including an event of default by Tenant.  In each of the last five years of the Lease term, the letter of credit may be reduced by $20,000,000.

On January 13, 2016, the Company issued a press release regarding the transaction.  A copy of that press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein into this Item 1.01.

Item 9.01.         Financial Statements and Exhibits.
