EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014 of SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "SL Green Realty Corp.," the "Company" or "SL Green" mean SL Green Realty Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to "SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.," the "Operating Partnership" or "SLGOP" mean SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "we," "our" and "us" mean the Company and all the entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.
The Company is a Maryland corporation which operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, and is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As a general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.
The Company owns 96.25% of the outstanding general and limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company also owns 9,200,000 Series I Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2014, noncontrolling investors held, in aggregate, a 3.75% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, stockholders' equity of the Company and partners' capital of the Operating Partnership are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are accounted for as partners' capital in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests, within mezzanine equity, in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
Combined reports enhance investors' understanding of the Company 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;
Combined reports eliminate duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
Combined reports create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
consolidated financial statements;
the following notes to the consolidated financial statements:
Note 11, Noncontrolling Interest on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements;
Note 12, Stockholders' Equity of the Company;
Note 13, Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership;
Note 15, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of the Company; and
Note 16, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of the Operating Partnership.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in both their capacity as the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, have made the requisite certifications and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SL Green Realty Corp. and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2014
(unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
SL Green Realty Corp., which is referred to as the Company or SL Green, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., which is referred to as SLGOP or the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities. The Operating Partnership received a contribution of interest in the real estate properties, as well as 95% of the economic interest in the management, leasing and construction companies which are referred to as the Service Corporation, a consolidated variable interest entity. All of the management, leasing and construction services with respect to the properties that are wholly-owned by us are conducted through SL Green Management LLC which is 100% owned by the Operating Partnership. The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is permitted to minimize the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we," "our" and "us" means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.
Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2014, noncontrolling investors held, in the aggregate, a 3.75% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. We refer to these interests as the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. See Note 11, "Noncontrolling Interests on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements."
Reckson Associates Realty Corp., or Reckson, and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., or ROP, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
As of September 30, 2014, we owned the following interests in properties in the New York Metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan, a borough of New York City. Our investments in the New York Metropolitan area also include investments in Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester County, Connecticut and Northern New Jersey, which are collectively known as the Suburban properties:

(1)
The weighted average occupancy for commercial properties represents the total occupied square feet divided by total available rentable square feet.  The weighted average occupancy for residential properties represents the total occupied units divided by total available units.
(2)
As of September 30, 2014, we owned a building that was comprised of 270,132 square feet of retail space and 222,855 square feet of residential space. For the purpose of this report, we have included the building as part of retail properties and have shown the square footage under its respective classifications.
(3)
Includes two properties, which are held for sale as of September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, we also managed a 336,200 square foot office building owned by a third party. As of September 30, 2014, we also held debt and preferred equity investments with a book value of $1.4 billion.
Partnership Agreement
In accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, or the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Operating Partnership allocates all distributions and profits and losses in proportion to the percentage of ownership interests of the respective partners. As the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership, we are required to take such reasonable efforts, as determined by us in our sole discretion, to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the payment of sufficient dividends by us to minimize any Federal income or excise tax at the Company level. Under the Operating Partnership Agreement, each limited partner has the right to redeem units of limited partnership interests for cash, or if we so elect, for shares of SL Green's common stock on a one-for-one basis.
Basis of Quarterly Presentation 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2014 and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 of the Company and the Operating Partnership.
The consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method or as debt and preferred equity investments. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" and Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Included in commercial real estate properties on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are $196.2 million and $605.9 million, respectively, related to our consolidated VIEs. Included in mortgages and other loans payable on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are $106.9 million and $370.9 million, respectively, related to our consolidated VIEs. Also included in assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 are $425.7 million of commercial real estate and $256.2 million of mortgage related to our consolidated VIEs.
A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Noncontrolling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet and the presentation of net income was modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (cont.)
September 30, 2014
(unaudited)


We assess the accounting treatment for each joint venture and debt and preferred equity investment. This assessment includes a review of each joint venture or limited liability company agreement to determine which party has what rights and whether those rights are protective or participating. For all VIEs, we review such agreements in order to determine which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. In situations where we and our partner approve, among other things, the annual budget, receive a detailed monthly reporting package from us, meet on a quarterly basis to review the results of the joint venture, review and approve the joint venture's tax return before filing, and approve all leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property, we do not consolidate the joint venture as we consider these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power of the activities that most significantly impact the performance of our joint venture. Our joint venture agreements typically contain certain protective rights such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan.
Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties
On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indications that the value of our real estate properties may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges for consolidated properties) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property. We also evaluate our real estate properties for potential impairment when a real estate property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. We do not believe that the values of any of our consolidated properties or properties held for sale were impaired at September 30, 2014.
We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years. We amortize the amount allocated to the above- and below-market leases over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from one to 14 years, and record it as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income. We amortize the amount allocated to the values associated with in-place leases over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from one to 14 years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below market and determined to be material, we amortize such below-market lease value into rental income over the renewal period.
We recognized an increase of $5.7 million, $18.2 million and $12.5 million in rental revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases and a reduction in lease origination costs, resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties. We recognized a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 for the amortization of aggregate above-market leases and reductions in lease origination costs in excess of below-market leases, which included approximately $6.8 million resulting from a write-off of above-market and in-place lease balances associated with a former tenant. Excluding this non-recurring charge, we recognized an increase of approximately $6.6 million in rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases and reductions in lease origination costs. We recognized a reduction in interest expense for the amortization of the above-market rate mortgages assumed of $1.3 million, $4.1 million, $1.2 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
See Note 17, "Fair Value Measurements."
Investment in Marketable Securities
We invest in marketable securities. At the time of purchase, we are required to designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading depending on ability and intent. We do not have any securities designated as held-to-maturity or trading at this time. Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value pursuant to ASC 820-10, with the net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Unrealized losses that are determined to be other-than-temporary are recognized in earnings up to their credit component.
The cost of bonds and marketable securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.
At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we held the following marketable securities (in thousands):

The cost basis of the commercial mortgage-backed securities was $32.5 million and $23.0 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. These securities mature at various times through 2049. The cost basis of the rake bonds was $3.6 million at December 31, 2013.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on the joint venture's projected discounted cash flows. We do not believe that the values of any of our equity investments were impaired at September 30, 2014.
We may originate loans for real estate acquisition, development and construction, or ADC arrangements, where we expect to receive some or all of the residual profit. When the risk and rewards of these ADC arrangements are essentially the same as an investor or joint venture partner, we account for these ADC arrangements as real estate investments under the equity method of accounting for investments. Otherwise, we account for these ADC arrangements consistent with our loan accounting for our debt and preferred equity investments.

Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. In order for the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, management evaluates whether we are or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of the finished space, which is when such tenant improvements are substantially complete. In certain instances, when management concludes that we are not the owner (the tenant is the owner) of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record amounts funded to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. For these tenant improvements, we record amounts reimbursed by tenants as a reduction of the capital asset. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred costs, net on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in deferred rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. We establish, on a current basis, an allowance for future potential tenant credit losses, which may occur against this account. The balance reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is net of such allowance.
In addition to base rent, our tenants also generally will pay their pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses for the building over a base year. In some leases, in lieu of paying additional rent based upon increases in building operating expenses, the tenant will pay additional rent based upon increases in the wage rate paid to porters over the porters' wage rate in effect during a base year or increases in the consumer price index over the index value in effect during a base year. In addition, many of our leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations. Electricity is most often supplied by the landlord either on a sub-metered basis, or rent inclusion basis (i.e., a fixed fee is included in the rent for electricity, which amount may increase based upon increases in electricity rates or increases in electrical usage by the tenant). Base building services other than electricity (such as heat, air conditioning and freight elevator service during business hours, and base building cleaning) are typically provided at no additional cost, with the tenant paying additional rent only for services which exceed base building services or for services which are provided outside normal business hours. These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year. If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year.
We record a gain on sale of real estate when title is conveyed to the buyer, subject to the buyer's financial commitment being sufficient to provide economic substance to the sale and we have no substantial economic involvement with the buyer.
Interest income on debt and preferred equity investments is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the instruments and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Several of the debt and preferred equity investments provide for accrual of interest at specified rates, which differ from current payment terms. Interest is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest are ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and operations of the borrower. If management cannot make this determination, interest income above the current pay rate is recognized only upon actual receipt.
Deferred originations fees, original issue discounts and loan origination costs, if any, are recognized as a reduction to the interest income over the terms of the related investments using the effective interest method. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are also deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Discounts or premiums associated with the purchase of loans are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method based on expected cashflows through the expected maturity date of the related investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount, intend to hold it until maturity and expect to recover the full value of the investment, we accrete the discount into income as an adjustment to yield over the term of the investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount with the intention of foreclosing on the collateral, we do not accrete the discount. For debt investments acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted. Anticipated exit fees, whose collection is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.
Debt and preferred equity investments are placed on a non-accrual status at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of interest income becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition on any non-accrual debt or preferred equity investment is resumed when such non-accrual debt or preferred equity

(unaudited)


investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Interest is recorded as income on impaired loans only to the extent cash is received.
We may syndicate a portion of the loans that we originate or sell these loans individually. When a transaction meets the criteria of sale accounting, we derecognize the loan sold and recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the loan sold. Any related unamortized deferred origination fees, loan origination costs, discounts or premiums at the time of sale are recognized as an adjustment to the gain or loss on sale, which is included in investment income on the consolidated statement of income. Any fees received at the time of sale or syndication are recognized as part of investment income.
Reserve for Possible Credit Losses
The expense for possible credit losses in connection with debt and preferred equity investments is the charge to earnings to increase the allowance for possible credit losses to the level that we estimate to be adequate, based on Level 3 data, considering delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality. Other factors considered relate to geographic trends and product diversification, the size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Based upon these factors, we establish the provision for possible credit losses on each individual investment. When it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, the investment is considered impaired.
Where impairment is indicated on an investment that is held to maturity, a valuation allowance is measured based upon the excess of the recorded investment amount over the net fair value of the collateral. Any deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the calculated value of the collateral is charged to expense. We continue to assess or adjust our estimates based on circumstances of a loan and the underlying collateral. If the additional information obtained reflects increased recovery of our investment, we will adjust our reserves accordingly. There were no loan reserves recorded during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Debt and preferred equity investments held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820-10. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its net carrying value to debt and preferred equity investments held to maturity. For these reclassified investments, the difference between the current carrying value and the expected cash to be collected at maturity will be accreted into income over the remaining term of the investment.
Income Taxes
SL Green is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, SL Green generally is not subject to Federal income tax. To maintain its qualification as a REIT, SL Green must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If SL Green fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income tax on SL Green's taxable income at regular corporate rates. SL Green may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on SL Green's undistributed taxable income.
The Operating Partnership is a partnership and, as a result, all income and losses of the partnership are allocated to the partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The only provision for income taxes included in the consolidated statements of income relates to the Operating Partnership’s consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes.
Pursuant to amendments to the Code that became effective January 1, 2001, we have elected, and may elect in the future, to treat certain of our existing or newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. In general, a TRS may perform non-customary services for the tenants of the Company, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business. The TRSs generate income, resulting in Federal and state income tax liability for these entities.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a Federal, state and local tax provision of $1.6 million, $6.6 million, $2.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
We follow a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no

(unaudited)


longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited.
Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans
We have a stock-based employee compensation plan, described more fully in Note 14, "Share-based Compensation."
The Company's stock options are recorded at fair value at the time of issuance. Fair value of the stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our plan has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in our opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options.
Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the award. Our policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Awards of stock or restricted stock are expensed as compensation over the benefit period based on the fair value of the stock on the grant date.
For share-based awards with a performance or market measure, we recognize compensation cost over the requisite service period, using the accelerated attribution expense method. The requisite service period begins on the date the compensation committee of SL Green's board of directors authorizes the award, adopts any relevant performance measures and communicates the award to the employees. For programs with performance measures, the total estimated compensation cost is based on the fair value of the award at the applicable reporting date estimated using a binomial model. For share-based awards for which there is no pre-established performance measure, we recognize compensation cost over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period, on a straight-line basis. In accordance with the provisions of our share-based incentive compensation plans, we accept the return of shares of the Company's common stock, at the current quoted market price, from certain key employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax-withholding requirements related to shares that vested during the period.
Awards can also be made in the form of a separate series of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership called long-term incentive plan units, or LTIP units. LTIP units, which can be granted either as free-standing awards or in tandem with other awards under our stock incentive plan, are valued by reference to the value of the Company's common stock at the time of grant, and are subject to such conditions and restrictions as the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors may determine, including continued employment or service, computation of financial metrics and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives.
Earnings per Share of the Company
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share, or EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic EPS includes participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted stock that receive nonforfeitable dividends similar to shares of common stock. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount. Diluted EPS also includes units of limited partnership interest. The dilutive effect of stock options is reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect for the exchangeable senior notes as the conversion premium will be paid in cash.
Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership
The Operating Partnership presents both basic and diluted earnings per unit, or EPU.  Basic EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common unitholders by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic EPU includes participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted units that receive nonforfeitable dividends similar to shares of common units. Diluted EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPU amount. The dilutive effect of unit options is reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding units calculation by application of the treasury stock method. There is no dilutive effect for the exchangeable senior notes as the conversion premium will be paid in cash.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt and preferred equity investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash investments in excess of insured amounts with high quality financial institutions. The collateral securing our debt and preferred equity investments is primarily located in New York City. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments." We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants and require most tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant's lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost rent and the costs associated with re-tenanting a space. Although the properties in our real estate portfolio are primarily located in Manhattan, we also have properties located in Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester County, Connecticut and Northern New Jersey. The tenants located in our buildings operate in various industries. Other than three tenants who account for 11.0%, 7.3% and 5.6% of our share of annualized cash rent, respectively, no other tenant in our portfolio accounted for more than 2.0% of our annualized cash rent, including our share of joint venture annualized rent, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, 9.7%, 9.4% and 7.4% of our annualized cash rent for consolidated properties was attributable to 1515 Broadway, 388-390 Greenwich Street and 1185 Avenue of the Americas, respectively. In addition, one of our preferred equity investments accounted for 13.2% of the income earned on debt and preferred equity investments during the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation primarily in order to eliminate discontinued operations from income from continuing operations.
Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued final guidance that requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings as if the transferor retains effective control, even though the transferred financial assets are not returned to the transferor at settlement and also eliminates existing guidance for repurchase financings (Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-11). New disclosures are required for (1) certain transactions accounted for as secured borrowings and (2) transfers accounted for as sales when the transferor also retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. The guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, except for the disclosures related to transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, which are effective for periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early adoption of this guidance is prohibited. The Company will adopt this standard beginning in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new comprehensive revenue recognition guidance which requires us to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services (ASU No. 2014-09). The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The new guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on reporting discontinued operations which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations (ASU No. 2014-08). The guidance also allows us to have a significant continuing involvement and continuing cash flows with the discontinued operations. Additionally, the guidance requires additional disclosures for discontinued operations and new disclosures for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The guidance is effective for calendar year public companies beginning in the first quarter of 2015 and is to be applied on a prospective basis for new disposals. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard beginning in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of this guidance will change the presentation of discontinued operations but will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Property Acquisitions
In September 2014, we acquired the fee interest at 635 Madison Avenue for $153.7 million. We are currently in the process of analyzing the purchase price allocation and, as such, we have not allocated any value to intangible assets.
In August 2014, we acquired the fee ownership position in 752 Madison Avenue for $282.4 million. Previously, in January 2012, a separate joint venture in which an SL Green entity holds an 80% interest acquired the ground tenancy position. We are currently in the process of analyzing the purchase price allocation and, as such, we have not allocated any value to intangible assets.
In July 2014, we, together with our joint venture partner, acquired the fee interest at 719 Seventh Avenue for $41.1 million. We consolidate this joint venture due to our controlling interest. We are currently in the process of analyzing the purchase price allocation and, as such, we have not allocated any value to intangible assets.
In July 2014, we acquired the retail condominium at 115 Spring Street for $53.1 million. We are currently in the process of analyzing the purchase price allocation and, as such, we have not allocated any value to intangible assets.
In May 2014, we acquired Ivanhoe Cambridge, Inc.'s 49.65% economic interest in 388-390 Greenwich Street, thereby consolidating full ownership of the property. The transaction valued the consolidated interests at $1.585 billion. This valuation was based on a negotiated sales agreement which took into consideration the recent extension of the existing triple net lease. Simultaneous with the closing, we refinanced the existing $1.1 billion mortgage with a four-year $1.5 billion mortgage, which bears interest at 175 basis points over LIBOR. We also assumed the existing derivative instruments, which swapped $504.0 million of the mortgage to fixed rate. We recognized a purchase price fair value adjustment of $71.4 million upon closing of this transaction. This property, which we initially acquired in December 2007, was previously accounted for as an investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. We are currently in the process of analyzing the purchase price allocation and, as such, we have not allocated any value to intangible assets.
In November 2013, we acquired a mixed-use residential and commercial property located at 315 West 33rd Street, New York, New York for $386.8 million. Based on our preliminary analysis of the purchase price, we allocated $116.0 million and $270.8 million to land and building, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we finalized the purchase price allocation based on a third party appraisal and additional facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date and reclassified $33.2 million and $7.8 million to values for above-market and in-place leases and below-market leases, respectively. These adjustments did not have a material impact to our consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Pro Forma
The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the results of operations of 388-390 Greenwich Street, which are included in the consolidated statement of income, and our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 as though the acquisition of our joint venture partner's interest in 388-390 Greenwich Street was completed on January 1, 2013. The supplemental pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been assuming the transactions had been completed as set forth above, nor do they purport to represent our results of operations for future periods.

4. Properties Held for Sale and Dispositions
In September 2014, we, along with our joint venture partner, entered into an agreement to sell the property at 180 Maiden Lane for $470.0 million. This transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In June 2014, we entered into a contract to sell our leased fee interest in 2 Herald Square for $365.0 million. This transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
In July 2014, we sold our fee interest and development rights in 985-987 Third Avenue for $68.7 million and recognized a gain on sale of $29.8 million. The sale was made in conjunction with the sale of an adjacent parcel, which we did not own.
In May 2014, we sold our leasehold interest in 673 First Avenue for $145.0 million and recognized a gain on sale of $117.6 million.
Discontinued operations included the results of operations of real estate assets under contract or sold prior to September 30, 2014. This included 180 Maiden Lane and 2 Herald Square, which were both held for sale at September 30, 2014, 985-987 Third Avenue and 673 First Avenue, which were sold in July 2014 and May 2014, respectively, and 44 West 55th Street, 333 West 34th Street and 300 Main Street, which were sold in February, August, and September of 2013, respectively.

5. Debt and Preferred Equity Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our debt and preferred equity investments, net of discounts and deferred origination fees, increased $476.6 million and $497.4 million, respectively, due to originations, purchases, accretion of reserves, discounts and paid-in-kind interest. We recorded repayments, participations and sales of $348.5 million and $530.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which offset the increases in debt and preferred equity investments.

Carrying value is net of discounts, original issue discounts and deferred origination fees.
(2)
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $10.1 million of previously unaccrued interest income as deemed collectible as a result of the subsequent sale of the property, which closed in June 2014. In connection with the sale of the underlying property, our existing $66.7 million mezzanine loan was defeased and is now shown separately, as it is collateralized by defeasance securities. The buyer assumed our $30.0 million participating interest on the mortgage and we acquired a $67.3 million participating interest on the mezzanine loan.
(3)
Carrying value is net of $41.3 million that was participated out, which is included in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the transfer not meeting the conditions for sale accounting.
(4)
In September 2014, we acquired a $26.4 million mortgage loan at a $0.2 million discount and a $5.7 million junior mortgage participation at a $5.7 million discount. The junior mortgage participation was a nonperforming loan at acquisition and is currently on a non-accrual status.
(5)
Carrying value is net of $5.0 million that was participated out, which is included in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the transfer not meeting the conditions for sale accounting.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all debt and preferred equity investments were performing in accordance with the terms of the relevant investments, except for the nonperforming loan acquired in September 2014 as noted in the debt investments table above.
We have determined that we have one portfolio segment of financing receivables at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 comprising commercial real estate which is primarily recorded in debt and preferred equity investments. Included in other assets is an additional amount of financing receivables totaling $132.6 million and $172.8 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. No financing receivables were 90 days past due at September 30, 2014.
6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various partners, including Ivanhoe Cambridge, Inc., formerly SITQ Immobilier, a subsidiary of Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, SITQ, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, or CPPIB, Prudential Real Estate Investors, or Prudential, Onyx Equities, or Onyx, The Witkoff Group, or Witkoff, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, or Credit Suisse, Jeff Sutton, or Sutton, Harel Insurance and Finance, or Harel, Louis Cappelli, or Cappelli, The Moinian Group, or Moinian, Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO), or Vornado, Plaza Global Real Estate Partners LP, or Plaza, Lehman Bros., as well as private investors. All the investments below are voting interest entities, except for 650 Fifth Avenue, 33 Beekman and 3 Columbus Circle which are VIEs in which we are not the primary beneficiary as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Prior to the acquisition of our joint venture partner's interest in May 2014, 388-390 Greenwich was also a VIE. Prior to the sale of the property in September 2014, 180-182 Broadway was a VIE. Our net equity investment in these VIEs was $174.4 million and $310.7 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As we do not control the joint ventures listed below, we account for them under the equity method of accounting.

(1)
Acquisition price represents the actual or implied gross purchase price for the joint venture.
(2)
As a result of the sale of a condominium interest in September 2012, Young & Rubicam, Inc., or Y&R, owns a portion of the property, generally floors three through eight referred to as Y&R units. Because the joint venture has an option to repurchase the Y&R units, the gain associated with this sale was deferred.
(3)
The purchase price pertained only to the purchase of the 1552 Broadway interest which comprised 13,045 square feet. The joint venture also owns a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space and certain other spaces at 1560 Broadway, which is adjacent to 1552 Broadway.
(4)
The joint venture owns a fee interest in the property and will develop an approximately 30 story building for student housing. Upon completion of the development, the joint venture will convey a long-term ground lease condominium interest in the building to Pace.
(5)
We hold a 32.28% interest in three retail and two residential units at the property and a 16.14% interest in four residential units at the property.
(6)
The joint venture owns a long-term leasehold interest in the retail space at 650 Fifth Avenue. In connection with the ground lease obligation, SLG provided a performance guaranty and Sutton executed a contribution agreement to reflect its pro rata obligation. In the event the property is converted into a condominium unit and the landlord elects the purchase option, the joint venture shall be obligated to acquire the unit at the then fair value. In October 2014, the joint venture closed on a $97.0 million floating rate leasehold mortgage with an initial funding of $65.0 million.

In September 2014, we, along with our joint venture partners, sold all our interests in 180 Broadway, including the underlying property at an implied gross valuation of $222.5 million. We recognized a promote of $3.3 million and a gain of $16.5 million on the sale of the property.
In May 2014, we sold our 33.33% partnership interest in the joint venture which owns 100% interest as tenant-in-common in 30 East 65th Street Corporation and the related proprietary lease of five cooperative apartment units in the property located at 747 Madison Avenue at an implied gross valuation of $160.0 million, inclusive of the $33.1 million mortgage encumbering the property. We recognized a promote of $10.3 million and originated a $30.0 million preferred equity investment. Given our continuing involvement as a preferred equity holder, we deferred the gain on sale of $13.1 million as we did not meet the requisites of a sale under the full accrual method. We, along with our joint venture partners, retained one apartment unit at this property.

In March 2014, we sold our 43.74% economic ownership interest in the joint venture which holds the West Coast Office portfolio at an implied gross valuation of $756.0 million, inclusive of the $526.3 million mortgage encumbering the property. We recognized a gain of $85.5 million on the sale of our investment.
In March 2014, we closed on the origination of a $100.0 million acquisition and equity participating financing consisting of a $60.0 million mezzanine loan and a $40.0 million preferred equity, which are both due to mature in March 2016, subject to three one-year extension options and a two-year option for the last extension. These loans, which were previously accounted for as debt and preferred equity investments, were reclassified to investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as a result of meeting the criteria of a real estate investment under the guidance for ADC arrangements. We have accounted for this wholly-owned investment under the equity method of accounting.
In January 2014, we sold our 49.90% partnership interest in the joint venture which holds 21-25 West 34th Street at an implied gross valuation of $114.9 million, inclusive of the $100.0 million mortgage encumbering the property. We recognized a gain of $20.9 million on the sale of our investment. We, along with our joint venture partner, retained approximately 91,300 square feet of development rights at this property.

We generally finance our joint ventures with non-recourse debt. However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leases for tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans.

(3)
In May 2014, we acquired the interest of our joint venture thereby consolidating the entity. Simultaneous with the acquisition, we refinanced the mortgage and incurred a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.4 million.
(4)
In February 2014, the joint venture replaced the previous fixed rate mortgage with a $360.0 million, seven-year floating rate, mortgage and incurred a net loss on early extinguishment of $3.2 million.
(5)
In January 2014, we sold our interest in the joint venture, inclusive of our share of the joint venture debt.
(6)
This loan was in default since November 2009 due to the non-payment of debt service. In January 2014, the joint venture relinquished its ground lease position to the lender. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $7.7 million of incentive income, which is included in other income on the consolidated statements of income.
(7)
The joint venture has the ability to increase the mortgage by $40.0 million based on meeting certain performance hurdles. In connection with this obligation, we executed a master lease agreement and our joint venture partner executed a contribution agreement to reflect its pro rata obligation under the master lease. The lien on the mortgage and the master lease excludes the condominium interest owned by Y&R. See Note 2 of prior table.
(8)
These loans are comprised of a $150.0 million mortgage loan and a $41.5 million mezzanine loan and are subject to two one-year extension options. As of September 30, 2014, $5.7 million of the mortgage loan and $4.9 million of the mezzanine loan remained unfunded.
(9)
In April 2014, the joint venture refinanced the previous mortgage with a $235.0 million mortgage and a $40.0 million mezzanine loan and incurred a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million.
(10)
This loan has a committed amount of $75.0 million, which is recourse to us. Our partner has indemnified us for its pro rata share of the recourse guarantee. A portion of the guarantee terminates upon the joint venture reaching certain milestones. We believe it is unlikely that we will be required to perform under this guarantee.
(11)
In March 2014, we sold our interest in the joint venture, inclusive of our share in the joint venture debt.
(12)
In September 2014, the joint venture sold the property and repaid the debt.
We act as the operating partner and day-to-day manager for all our joint ventures, except for 800 Third Avenue, 1 and 2 Jericho Plaza, 280 Park Avenue, 3 Columbus Circle and The Meadows. We are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, construction supervision and asset management services to our joint ventures. We earned $3.8 million, $15.0 million, $3.5 million and $7.5 million from these services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, we have the ability to earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of certain of the joint venture properties.

9. Corporate Indebtedness
2012 Credit Facility
In March 2014, we entered into an amendment to the $1.6 billion credit facility entered into by the Company in November 2012, or the 2012 credit facility, which, among other things, increased the term loan portion of the 2012 credit facility by $383.0 million to $783.0 million, decreased the interest-rate margin applicable to the term loan facility by 25 basis points and extended the maturity of the term loan portion of the facility from March 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The 2012 credit facility, as amended, consists of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility, or the revolving credit facility, and a $783.0 million term loan facility, or the term loan facility. The revolving credit facility matures in March 2017 and includes two six-month as-of-right extension options, subject to the payment of an extension fee of 10 basis points for each such extension. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, without the consent of existing lenders, to increase the capacity under the revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date for the revolving credit facility, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions.
The 2012 credit facility bears interest at a spread over LIBOR ranging from (i) 100 basis points to 175 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility and (ii) 95 basis points to 190 basis points for loans under the term loan facility, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. At September 30, 2014, the applicable spread was 145 basis points for the revolving credit facility and 140 basis points for the term loan facility. At September 30, 2014, the effective interest rate was 1.61% for the revolving credit facility and 1.64% for the term loan facility. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 15 to 35 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. As of September 30, 2014, the facility fee was 30 basis points. At September 30, 2014, we had $113.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, $244.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $783.0 million outstanding under the term loan facility, with total undrawn capacity of $0.8 billion under the revolving credit facility.
In connection with the amendment of the 2012 credit facility, we incurred debt origination and other loan costs of $2.8 million. We evaluated the modification pursuant to ASC 470 and determined that the terms of the amendment were not substantially different from the terms of the previous 2012 credit facility. As a result, these deferred costs and the unamortized balance of the costs previously incurred are amortized through the extended maturity date of the term loan facility.
The Company, the Operating Partnership and ROP are all borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2012 credit facility. None of our other subsidiaries are obligors under the 2012 credit facility.
The 2012 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

(7)
In August 2014, these notes were repaid at maturity.

Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2012 credit facility, as amended, and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amount of tangible net worth, a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that, we will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Junior Subordinate Deferrable Interest Debentures
In June 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million in unsecured trust preferred securities through a newly formed trust, SL Green Capital Trust I, or the Trust, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The securities mature in 2035 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.61% for the first ten years ending July 2015. Thereafter, the interest rate will float at three-month LIBOR plus 125 basis points. Interest payments may be deferred for a period of up to eight consecutive quarters if the Operating Partnership exercises its right to defer such payments. The Trust preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, with no prepayment premium. We do not consolidate the Trust even though it is a variable interest entity as we are not the primary beneficiary. Because the Trust is not consolidated, we have recorded the debt on our consolidated balance sheets and the related payments are classified as interest expense.

SL Green has excluded 231,970, 769,790, 703,702 and 922,239 common stock equivalents from the diluted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as they were anti-dilutive.

13. Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and at September 30, 2014 owned 95,944,861 general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and 9,200,000 Series I Preferred Units. Partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated as “common units of limited partnership interest” (also referred to as “OP Units”) or “preferred units of limited partnership interest” (also referred to as “Preferred Units”). All references to OP Units and Preferred Units outstanding exclude such units held by the Company. A holder of an OP Unit may present such OP Unit to the Operating Partnership for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, the Operating Partnership must redeem such OP Unit in exchange for the cash equal to the then value of a share of common stock of the Company, except that the Company may, at its election, in lieu of cash redemption, acquire such OP Unit for one share of common stock. Because the number of shares of common stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP Units that the Company owns, one share of common stock is generally the economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may be paid to the holder of a share of common stock. Each series of Preferred Units makes a distribution that is set in accordance with an amendment to the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. Preferred Units may also be convertible into OP Units at the election of the holder thereof or the Company, subject to the terms of such Preferred Units.
Net income (loss) allocated to the preferred unitholders and common unitholders reflects their pro rata share of net income (loss) and distributions.
Limited Partner Units
As of September 30, 2014, limited partners other than SL Green owned 3.75%, or 3,735,478, common units, of the Operating Partnership.
Preferred Units

14. Share-based Compensation
We have a stock-based employee and director compensation plans. Our employees are compensated through the Operating Partnership. Under each plan, whenever the Company issues common or preferred stock, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of units of limited partnership interest of a corresponding class to the Company.
Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
The Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was approved by the Company's board of directors in April 2013 and its stockholders in June 2013 at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, unrestricted and restricted stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards. Subject to adjustments upon certain corporate transactions or events, awards with respect to up to a maximum of 17,130,000 fungible units may be granted under the 2005 Plan. Currently, different types of awards count against the limit on the number of fungible units differently, with (1) full-value awards (i.e., those that deliver the full value of the award upon vesting, such as restricted stock) counting as 2.76 fungible units per share subject to such award (2) stock options, stock appreciation rights and other awards that do not deliver full value and expire five years from the date of grant counting as 0.77 fungible units per share subject to such award and (3) all other awards (e.g., ten-year stock options) counting as 1.0 fungible units per share subject to such award. Awards granted under the 2005 Plan prior to the approval of the second amendment and restatement in June 2010 and third amendment and restatement in June 2013 continue to count against the fungible unit limit based on the ratios that were in effect at the time such awards were granted, which may be different than the current ratios. As a result, depending on the types of awards issued, the 2005 Plan may result in the issuance of more or less than 17,130,000 shares. If a stock option or other award granted under the 2005 Plan expires or terminates, the common stock subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Shares of SL Green's common stock distributed under the 2005 Plan may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. Currently, unless the 2005 Plan has been previously terminated by the Company's board of directors, new awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan until June 13, 2023, which is the tenth anniversary of the date that the 2005 Plan was most recently approved by the Company's stockholders. As of September 30, 2014, 3,200,000 fungible units were available for issuance under the 2005 Plan after reserving for shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, phantom stock units granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors' Deferral Program and LTIP Units, including, among others, outstanding LTIP Units issued under our 2011 Long-Term Outperformance Plan.
Options are granted under the plan at the fair market value on the date of grant and, subject to employment, generally expire five or ten years from the date of grant, are not transferable other than on death, and generally vest in one to five years commencing one year from the date of grant.
The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on historical information with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company implemented a deferred compensation plan, or the Deferred Plan, where shares issued under the Deferred Plan were granted to certain employees, including our executives, and vesting will occur annually upon the completion of a service period or our meeting established financial performance criteria. Annual vesting occurs at rates ranging from 15% to 35% once performance criteria are reached.
A summary of the Company's restricted stock as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 are presented below:

We granted LTIP units, which include bonus, time-based and performance based awards, with a fair value of $23.6 million, and $27.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The grant date fair value of the LTIP unit awards was calculated in accordance with ASC 718. A third party consultant determined the fair value of the LTIP units to have a discount from SL Green's common stock price. The discount was calculated by considering the inherent uncertainty that the LTIP units will reach parity with other common partnership units and the illiquidity due to transfer restrictions. As of September 30, 2014, there was $6.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the time-based and performance based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded compensation expense related to bonus, time-based and performance based awards of $3.4 million, $13.7 million, $1.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Plan
In December 2009, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Program, or the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan. The 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan is a long-term incentive compensation plan pursuant to which award recipients could earn, in the aggregate, from approximately $15.0 million up to approximately $75.0 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on the Company's stock price appreciation over three years beginning on December 1, 2009; provided that, if maximum performance had been achieved, approximately $25.0 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately $25.0 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. In order to achieve maximum performance under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, the Company's aggregate stock price appreciation during the performance period had to equal or exceed 50%. The compensation committee determined that maximum performance had been achieved at or shortly after the beginning of each of the second and third years of the performance period and for the full performance period and, accordingly, 366,815 LTIP Units, 385,583 LTIP Units and 327,416 LTIP Units were earned under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan in December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Substantially in accordance with the original terms of the program, 50% of these LTIP Units vested on December 17, 2012 (accelerated from the original January 1, 2013 vesting date), 25% of these LTIP Units vested on December 11, 2013 (accelerated from the original January 1, 2014 vesting date) and the remainder is scheduled to vest on January 1, 2015 based on continued employment. In accordance with the terms of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, distributions were not paid on any LTIP Units until they were earned, at which time we paid all distributions that would have been paid on the earned LTIP Units since the beginning of the performance period.
The cost of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan (approximately $31.7 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of $0.4 million, $2.3 million, $0.9 million and $3.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan.
2011 Outperformance Plan
In August 2011, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2011 Outperformance Plan, or the 2011 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2011 Outperformance Plan may earn, in the aggregate, up to $85.0 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three-year period beginning September 1, 2011. Under the 2011 Outperformance Plan, participants will be entitled to share in a "performance pool" comprised of LTIP Units with a value equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which our total return to stockholders during the three-year period exceeds a cumulative total return to stockholders of 25%, subject to the maximum of $85.0 million of LTIP Units; provided that if maximum performance has been achieved, approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. LTIP Units earned under the 2011 Outperformance Plan will be subject to continued vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2014 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2015, subject to continued employment with us through such dates. Participants will not be entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2011 Outperformance Plan unless and until they are earned. If LTIP Units are earned, each participant will also be entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions will be paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested. In June 2014, the compensation committee determined that maximum performance had been achieved during the third year of the performance period and, accordingly, 560,908 LTIP Units, representing two-thirds of each award, were earned, subject to vesting, under the 2011 Outperformance Plan. The remaining one-third of each award will be earned based on performance through end of the performance period.

The cost of the 2011 Outperformance Plan (approximately $27.0 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of $1.7 million, $7.8 million, $1.7 million and $6.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the 2011 Outperformance Plan.
2014 Outperformance Plan
In August 2014, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2014 Outperformance Plan, or the 2014 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2014 Outperformance Plan may earn, in the aggregate, up to 610,000 LTIP Units in our Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three-year period beginning September 1, 2014; however, initially, the compensation committee will only award approximately 50% of the total LTIP Units and will retain discretion as to whether or when it will award the remainder of the total LTIP Units. For each individual award, two-thirds of the LTIP Units may be earned based on the Company’s absolute total return to stockholders and one-third of the LTIP Units may be earned based on relative total return to stockholders compared to the constituents of the MSCI REIT Index. Awards earned based on absolute total return to stockholders will be determined independently of awards earned based on relative total return to stockholders. In the event the Company’s performance reaches either threshold before the end of the three-year performance period, a pro-rata portion of the maximum award may be earned. For each component, if the Company’s performance reaches the maximum threshold beginning with the 19th month of the performance period, participants will earn one-third of the maximum award that may be earned for that component. If the Company’s performance reaches the maximum threshold during the third year of the performance period for a component, participants will earn up to two-thirds of the maximum award that may be earned for that component. LTIP Units earned under the 2014 Outperformance Plan will be subject to continued vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2017 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2018, subject to continued employment with us through August 31, 2018. Participants will not be entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2014 Outperformance Plan unless and until they are earned. If LTIP Units are earned, each participant will also be entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions will be paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested. Awards have not yet been granted under the 2014 Outperformance Plan.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors
Under our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program, which commenced July 2004, the Company's non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fee, chairman fees, meeting fees and annual stock grant. Unless otherwise elected by a participant, fees deferred under the program shall be credited in the form of phantom stock units. The program provides that a director's phantom stock units generally will be settled in an equal number of shares of common stock upon the earlier of (i) the January 1 coincident with or next following such director's termination of service from the Board of Directors or (ii) a change in control by us, as defined by the program. Phantom stock units are credited to each non-employee director quarterly using the closing price of SL Green's common stock on the first business day of the respective quarter. Each participating non-employee director is also credited with dividend equivalents or phantom stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter, which are either paid in cash currently or credited to the director’s account as additional phantom stock units.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 8,626 phantom stock units were earned. As of September 30, 2014, there were 80,137 phantom stock units outstanding pursuant to our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On September 18, 2007, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, to encourage our employees to increase their efforts to make our business more successful by providing equity-based incentives to eligible employees. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code, and has been adopted by the board to enable our eligible employees to purchase the Company's shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP became effective on January 1, 2008 with a maximum of 500,000 shares of the common stock available for issuance, subject to adjustment upon a merger, reorganization, stock split or other similar corporate change. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC with respect to the ESPP. The common stock is offered for purchase through a series of successive offering periods. Each offering period will be three months in duration and will begin on the first day of each calendar quarter, with the first offering period having commenced on January 1, 2008. The ESPP provides for eligible employees to purchase the common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or (2) the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. The ESPP was approved by our stockholders at our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. As of September 30, 2014, 78,563 shares of SL Green's common stock had been issued under the ESPP.

17. Fair Value Measurements
We are required to disclose the fair value information about our financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. FASB guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure and/or disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consist of three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are used when little or no market data is available. We follow this hierarchy for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring

basis. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of the particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by their levels in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

We determine impairment in real estate investments and debt and preferred equity investments, including intangibles utilizing cash flow projections that apply estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, which are classified as Level 3 inputs.
The fair value of derivative instruments is based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well-recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions, which are classified as Level 2 inputs.
The financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debt and preferred equity investments, and mortgages and other loans payable and other secured and unsecured debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt and preferred equity investments, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of borrowings, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt to their present value using adjusted market interest rates, which is provided by a third-party specialist.

Debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion at September 30, 2014. At December 31, 2013, debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion.
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments was based on pertinent information available to us as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
18. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of business, we use a variety of commonly used derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, caps, collar and floors, to manage, or hedge interest rate risk. We hedge our exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Reported net income and equity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. Currently, all of our designated derivative instruments are effective hedging instruments.
The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of our consolidated derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2014 based on Level 2 inputs. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

As a result of the acquisition and consolidation of 388-390 Greenwich Street, we have assumed these derivative instruments and have designated them as hedges.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $14.7 million. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $14.7 million at September 30, 2014.

Gains and losses on terminated hedges are included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, and are recognized into earnings over the term of the related mortgage obligation. Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We estimate that approximately $6.7 million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into interest expense and $1.0 million of the portion related to our share of joint venture accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures within the next 12 months.
The following table presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments and our share of our joint ventures' derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments on the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

20. Segment Information
The Company is a REIT engaged in all aspects of property ownership and management including investment, leasing, operations, capital improvements, development, financing, construction and maintenance in the New York Metropolitan area and have two reportable segments, real estate and debt and preferred equity. We evaluate real estate performance and allocate resources based on earnings contribution to income from continuing operations.
The primary sources of revenue from our real estate porftolio are generated from tenant rents, escalations and reimbursement revenue. Real estate property operating expenses consist primarily of security, maintenance, utility costs, real estate taxes and ground rent expense (at certain applicable properties). See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments," for additional details on our debt and preferred equity investments.

Income from continuing operations represents total revenues less total expenses for the real estate segment and total investment income less allocated interest expense for the debt and preferred equity segment. Interest costs for the debt and preferred equity segment are imputed assuming 100% leverage at our MRA facility and 2012 credit facility borrowing cost. We also allocate loan loss reserves, net of recoveries, and transaction related costs to the debt and preferred equity segment. We do not allocate marketing, general and administrative expenses (totaling $22.6 million, $69.8 million, $20.9 million and $63.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively) to the debt and preferred equity segment since we base performance on the individual segments prior to allocating marketing, general and administrative expenses. All other expenses, except interest, relate entirely to the real estate assets.
There were no transactions between the above two segments.

(1)
Annual initial base rent.
(2)
Escalated rent is calculated as total annual income less electric charges.
(3)
Includes expiring space, relocating tenants and move-outs where tenants vacated. Excludes lease expirations where tenants held over.
(4)
Average starting office rent excluding new tenants replacing vacancies was $52.46 per rentable square feet for 223,671 rentable square feet. Average starting office rent for office space (leased and early renewals, excluding new tenants replacing vacancies) was $64.20 per rentable square feet for 565,219 rentable square feet.
(5)
Average starting office rent excluding new tenants replacing vacancies was $30.38 per rentable square feet for 87,255 rentable square feet. Average starting office rent for office space (leased and early renewals, excluding new tenants replacing vacancies) was $31.47 per rentable square feet for 118,938 rentable square feet.
 
At September 30, 2014, 0.9% and 2.0% of the space leased at our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban operating properties, respectively, is expected to expire during the remainder of 2014. Based on our estimates, the current market asking rents on these expected 2014 lease expirations at our consolidated Manhattan operating properties would be approximately 102.4% higher than the existing in-place fully escalated rents while the current market asking rents on all our consolidated Manhattan operating properties would be approximately 17.6% higher than the existing in-place fully escalated rents on leases that are scheduled to expire in all future years. Based on our estimates, the current market asking rents on these expected 2014 lease expirations at our consolidated Suburban operating properties would be approximately 0.5% lower than the existing in-place fully escalated rents while the current market asking rents on all our consolidated Suburban operating properties would be approximately 4.4% higher than the existing in-place fully escalated rents on leases that are scheduled to expire in all future years.
In May 2014, we acquired our joint partner's interest in 388-390 Greenwich Street thereby assuming full ownership of this triple net lease property. Prior to May 2014, we had accounted for our investment in 388-390 Greenwich Street under the equity method of accounting. As a result of this acquisition, we have consolidated the results of operations of this property beginning in May 2014.

Table of Contents

Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of the consolidation of 388-390 Greenwich Street ($28.4 million), an overall increase in occupancy at the Same-Store Properties ($14.8 million) and properties acquired in 2013 ($7.2 million). This increase was partially offset by lower revenues from development properties ($2.1 million).
Escalation and reimbursement revenue increased primarily as a result of the properties acquired in 2013 ($1.1 million) and higher recoveries at the Same Store Properties ($0.8 million). The increase in escalation and reimbursement revenue at the Same-Store Properties was primarily a result of higher real estate tax recoveries ($1.3 million) partially offset by lower operating expense escalations ($0.5 million).
Investment Income
Investment income decreased primarily as a result of a lower weighted average yield in 2014, partially offset by a higher average balance and the repayment of one of our mezzanine investments which resulted in additional income ($0.8 million) in 2014. The weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $1.5 billion and 10.5%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.3 billion and 11.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, our debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 2.0 years.
Other Income 
Other income increased primarily as a result of a promote income earned in connection with the sale of the joint venture property located at 180 Broadway ($3.3 million) and a higher contribution from Service Corporation ($2.6 million), partially offset by income from expense reimbursements in 2013 ($4.2 million).
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of the properties acquired in 2013 ($3.8 million) and higher operating expenses at the Same Store Properties ($0.5 million), partially offset by lower operating expenses from development properties ($1.9 million). The increase in property operating expenses at the Same-Store Properties was a result of higher real estate taxes ($2.5 million), partially offset by lower utility costs ($0.4 million) and repairs and maintenance ($0.4 million).
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $22.6 million, or 5.1% of total revenues including our share of joint venture revenues and an annualized 50 basis points of total assets including our share of joint venture assets compared to $20.9 million, or 5.1% of total revenues including our share of joint venture revenues and an annualized 50 basis points of total assets including our share of joint venture assets for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased primarily as a result of the consolidation and new mortgage at 388-390 Greenwich Street ($11.1 million) and increased borrowings on the 2012 credit facility ($1.4 million) . This increase was partially offset by the capitalization of interest relating to properties under development ($2.8 million), decreased borrowings from our MRA ($1.1 million) and repayment of the mortgage at 16 Court Street, Brooklyn in April 2014 ($0.7 million) and the 5.875% senior notes in August 2014 ($0.6 million). The weighted average debt balance outstanding increased from $6.9 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $8.7 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average interest rate decreased from 4.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to 4.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased mainly as a result of the the consolidation of 388-390 Greenwich ($7.6 million) and properties acquired in 2013 ($3.8 million), which was partially offset by a write-off of tenants improvements and in-place leases relating to a former tenant that filed for bankruptcy in August 2013 ($4.7 million).
Equity in Net Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased primarily as a result of net loss recognized in the third quarter of 2013 from the West Coast Office portfolio ($5.9 million), which interests were sold in March 2014, a debt and preferred equity investment that was originated in the first quarter of 2014 ($2.1 million), which has been accounted for as a real estate investment rather than a debt and preferred equity investment, and higher net income contributions from 100 Park Avenue as a result of increased occupancy and the refinancing of its mortgage at a lower rate ($1.5 million). This increase was partially offset by lower net income contributions from 388-390 Greenwich ($5.2 million) as a result of our acquisition of the joint venture partner's interest. Occupancy at our unconsolidated Manhattan office properties was 94.0% and 90.0% at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Occupancy at our unconsolidated Suburban office properties was 85.3% at both September 30, 2014 and 2013,

respectively. At September 30, 2014, none of the space leased at our Manhattan joint venture office properties were expected to expire during the remainder of 2014. At September 30, 2014, 13.8% of the space leased at our Suburban joint venture office properties, respectively, were expected to expire during the remainder of 2014. We estimate that current market asking rents on these expected 2014 lease expirations at our Suburban joint venture properties are approximately 8.18% lower than then existing in-place fully escalated rents.
Equity in Net Gain on Sale of Interest in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures/Real Estate
During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a gain on sale associated with the sale of our joint venture interest at 180 Broadway ($16.5 million). During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized additional post closing costs related to the sale of 521 Fifth Avenue ($0.9 million), partially offset by additional income from the sale of two properties in the West Coast portfolio in 2013 ($0.5 million).
Purchase Price Fair Value Adjustment
Purchase price fair value adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to the ground tenancy position at 752 Madison Avenue.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on early extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to the refinancing of the previous mortgage at 420 Lexington Avenue.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 includes the gain recognized on the sale of 985-987 Third Avenue ($29.8 million) and the results of operations of these properties and other properties that were held for sale or sold as of September 30, 2014. Discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 includes the gain recognized on the sale of 333 West 34th Street ($13.8 million). Prior period's results of operations of these held for sale or sold properties were included in the net income from discontinued operations to conform with the current presentation.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the nine months ended September 30, 2013
The following comparison for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, or 2014, to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, or 2013, makes reference to the following: (i) the effect of the “Same-Store Properties,” which represents all operating properties owned by us in the same manner at January 1, 2013 and at September 30, 2014 and totaled 58 of our 76 consolidated properties, representing 79.9% of our share of annualized cash rent, (ii) the effect of the “Acquisition Properties,” which represents all properties or interests in properties acquired in 2014 and 2013 and all non-Same-Store Properties, including properties that are under development or deconsolidated during the period, and (iii) “Other,” which represents corporate level items not allocable to specific properties, as well as the Service Corporation and eEmerge Inc. Any assets sold or held for sale are excluded from the income from continuing operations and from the following discussion.

Rental, Escalation and Reimbursement Revenues
Occupancy in the Same-Store consolidated office properties increased to 91.7% at September 30, 2014 as compared to 90.4% at September 30, 2013. Occupancy in our Same-Store Manhattan consolidated office portfolio increased to 94.9% at September 30, 2014 as compared to 93.8% at September 30, 2013. Occupancy in our Suburban consolidated office portfolio increased to 80.2% at September 30, 2014 as compared to 77.8% at September 30, 2013.
Rental revenues depend on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space available from unscheduled lease terminations.

At September 30, 2014, 0.9% and 2.0% of the space leased at our consolidated Manhattan and Suburban operating properties, respectively, is expected to expire during the remainder of 2014. Based on our estimates, the current market asking rents on these expected 2014 lease expirations at our consolidated Manhattan operating properties would be approximately 102.4% higher than the existing in-place fully escalated rents while the current market asking rents on all our consolidated Manhattan operating properties were approximately 17.6% higher than the existing in-place fully escalated rents on leases that are scheduled to expire in all future years. Based on our estimates, the current market asking rents on these expected 2014 lease expirations at our consolidated Suburban operating properties would be approximately 0.5% lower than the existing in-place fully escalated rents while the current market asking rents on all our consolidated Suburban operating properties were approximately 4.4% higher than the existing in-place fully escalated rents on leases that are scheduled to expire in all future years.
In May 2014, we acquired our joint partner's interest in 388-390 Greenwich Street thereby assuming full ownership of this triple net lease property. Prior to May 2014, we had accounted for our investment in 388-390 Greenwich Street under the equity

66

Table of Contents

method of accounting. As a result of this acquisition, we have consolidated the results of operations of this property beginning in May 2014.
Rental revenues increased primarily as a result of the consolidation of 388-390 Greenwich Street ($43.2 million), properties acquired in 2013 ($26.4 million) and an overall increase in occupancy at the Same Store Properties ($19.3 million), partially offset by lower income from development properties ($5.3 million).
Escalation and reimbursement revenue increased primarily as a result of the properties acquired in 2013 ($3.9 million) and higher recoveries at the Same Store Properties ($2.1 million), partially offset by lower recoveries from development properties ($0.7 million). The increase in escalation and reimbursement revenue at the Same-Store Properties was primarily a result of higher real estate tax recoveries ($2.7 million) and operating expense escalations ($0.6 million), partially offset by lower electric reimbursements ($1.3 million).
Investment Income
Investment income decreased primarily as a result of a lower weighted average yield, the sale of 50% of our interest in one of our debt investments in 2013 ($12.9 million), and the repayment of one of our debt investments ($6.4 million) partially offset by a higher investment balance in 2014, additional income recognized on a mezzanine investment for which the underlying property was sold in June 2014 ($10.1 million), and the repayment of one of our mezzanine investments, which resulted in additional income ($0.8 million) in September 2014. The weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $1.4 billion and 10.6%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.3 billion and 13.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, our debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 2.0 years.
Other Income 
Other income increased primarily as a result of a promote income earned in connection with the sale of our joint venture interests in 747 Madison Avenue and 180 Broadway ($13.6 million), incentive income received from a joint venture investment ($7.6 million), a one-time fee earned in connection with the restructuring of one of our debt investments ($5.7 million) and a higher contribution from Service Corporation ($8.8 million), partially offset by income from expense reimbursements in 2013 ($4.2 million).
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of higher operating expenses for the properties acquired in 2013 ($13.5 million) and at the Same Store Properties ($4.7 million), partially offset by lower operating expenses from development properties ($4.2 million). The increase in property operating expenses at the Same-Store Properties was due mainly to higher real estate taxes ($4.6 million) and payroll costs ($1.8 million), partially offset by repairs and maintenance ($1.1 million).
Transaction Related Costs
Transaction related costs increased primarily as a result of a higher volume of investment activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $69.8 million, or 5.3% of total revenues including our share of joint venture revenues and an annualized 50 basis points of total assets including our share of joint venture assets compared to $63.5 million, or 5.2% of total revenues including our share of joint venture revenues and an annualized 50 basis points of total assets including our share of joint venture assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased as a result of a new mortgage at 388-390 Greenwich Street ($16.7 million) and an increased borrowing on the 2012 credit facility ($3.4 million), partially offset by capitalization of interest relating to properties under development ($7.2 million), decreased borrowings from our MRA ($2.8 million), refinancing of 220 East 42nd Street at a lower rate in October 2013 ($1.5 million) and repayment of 5.875% senior notes in August 2014 ($0.6 million). The weighted average debt balance outstanding increased from $6.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $7.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average interest rate decreased from 4.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 4.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased mainly as a result of the properties acquired in 2013 ($17.2 million), consolidation of 388-390 Greenwich Street ($10.9 million), write-off of certain tenant improvements and value for in-place leases associated with a former tenant in 2014 ($3.4 million) and the remaining increase primarily resulting from increased capital expenditures at certain properties, partially offset by a write-off of certain tenant improvements and value for in-place leases associated with a

67

Table of Contents

former tenant in 2013 ($4.7 million).
Equity in Net Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased primarily as a result of net loss recognized in the first nine months of 2013 from the West Coast Office portfolio ($13.9 million), which interests were sold in March 2014, a debt and preferred equity investment that was originated in the first quarter of 2014 ($4.7 million), which has been accounted for as a real estate investment rather than a debt and preferred equity investment, and the commencement of leases following the completion of redevelopment in June 2013 at 180 Broadway ($1.4 million), which interests were sold in September 2014. This increase was partially offset by lower net income from 388-390 Greenwich ($8.2 million) as a result of our acquisition of the joint venture partner's interest. Occupancy at our unconsolidated Manhattan office properties was 94.0% and 90.0% at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Occupancy at our unconsolidated Suburban office properties was 85.3% at both September 30, 2014 and 2013. At September 30, 2014, none of the space leased at our Manhattan joint venture office properties were expected to expire during the remainder of 2014. At September 30, 2014, 13.8% of the space leased at our Suburban joint venture office properties were expected to expire during the remainder of 2014. We estimate that current market asking rents on these expected 2014 lease expirations at our Suburban joint venture properties are approximately 8.18% lower than then existing in-place fully escalated rents.
Equity in Net Gain on Sale of Interest in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized gains on the sale of two properties included in the West Coast portfolio ($85.6 million), the sale of partnership interests in 21 West 34th Street ($20.9 million), the sale of the joint venture property at 180 Broadway ($16.5 million) and the sale of condominium units at 248 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn ($1.5 million), partially offset by additional post closing costs related to the sale of our partnership interest in 27-29 West 34th Street ($1.9 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized additional post closing costs related to the sale of 521 Fifth Avenue ($2.8 million), partially offset by the sale of two properties included in the West Coast portfolio ($2.1 million).
Purchase Price Fair Value Adjustment
Purchase price fair value adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to the acquisition of our joint venture partner's interest in 388-390 Greenwich Street ($71.4 million), partially offset by the purchase price adjustment of the ground tenancy position at 752 Madison Avenue ($4.0 million). Purchase price fair value adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was attributable to the acquisition of 16 Court Street, Brooklyn ($2.3 million).
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to the refinancing of the previous mortgages at 420 Lexington Avenue ($24.5 million) and 248-252 Bedford Avenue ($0.5 million), and early repayment of the mortgage at 16 Court Street, Brooklyn ($0.5 million). Loss on early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was attributable to the refinancing of the mortgage at 1515 Broadway.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes the gains recognized on the sale of 673 First Avenue ($117.8 million) and 985-987 Third Avenue ($29.8 million), which were sold in May and July 2014, respectively, and the results of operations of these properties and other properties that were held for sale or sold as of September 30, 2014. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes the gains recognized on the sale of 333 West 34th ($13.8 million) and 44 West 55th Street ($1.1 million), which were sold in August and February 2013, respectively. Prior period's results of operations of these held for sale or sold properties were included in the net income from discontinued operations to conform with the current presentation.

Reconciliation of Same-Store Operating Income to Net Operating Income
We present Same-Store net operating income, or Same-Store NOI, because we believe that these measures provide investors with useful information regarding the operating performance of properties that are comparable for the periods presented. We determine Same-Store net operating income by subtracting Same-Store property operating expenses and ground rent from Same-Store rental revenues and other income. Our method of calculation may be different from methods used by other REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. None of these measures is an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) and Same-Store performance should not be considered an alternative to GAAP net income performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital and funds for acquisition and redevelopment of properties, tenant improvements, leasing costs, repurchases or repayments of outstanding indebtedness (which may include exchangeable debt) and for debt and preferred equity investments will include:
(1)
Cash flow from operations;
(2)
Cash on hand;
(3)
Borrowings under our 2012 credit facility;
(4)
Other forms of secured or unsecured financing;
(5)
Net proceeds from divestitures of properties and redemptions, participations and dispositions of debt and preferred equity investments; and
(6)
Proceeds from common or preferred equity or debt offerings by the Company, the Operating Partnership (including issuances of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and Trust preferred securities) or ROP.
Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Additionally, we believe that our debt and preferred equity investment program will continue to serve as a source of operating cash flow.
The combined aggregate principal maturities of our property mortgages and other loans payable, corporate obligations and our share of joint venture debt, including as-of-right extension options, as of September 30, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2014, we had $292.8 million of consolidated cash on hand, inclusive of $39.3 million of marketable securities. We expect to generate positive cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. We may seek to access private and public debt and equity capital when the opportunity presents itself, although there is no guarantee that this capital will be made available to us at efficient levels or at all. Management believes that these sources of liquidity, if we are able to access them, along with potential refinancing opportunities for secured debt, will allow us to satisfy our debt obligations, as described above, upon maturity, if not before.
We also have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various partners who we consider to be financially stable and who have the ability to fund a capital call when needed. Most of our joint ventures are financed with non-recourse debt. We believe that property level cash flows along with unfunded committed indebtedness and proceeds from the refinancing of outstanding secured indebtedness will be sufficient to fund the capital needs of our joint venture properties.
Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on our consolidated statements of cash flows in "Item 1. Financial Statements" and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.
Cash and cash equivalents were $253.5 million and $209.1 million at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing an increase of $44.4 million. The increase was a result of the following changes in cash flows (in thousands):

Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to the leasing and operating of the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund quarterly dividend and distribution payment requirements. At September 30, 2014, our Manhattan and Suburban consolidated office portfolio were 95.6% and 80.2% occupied, respectively. Our debt and preferred equity and joint venture investments also provide a steady stream of operating cash flow to us.
Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, redevelopment projects and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings that meet our investment criteria. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we used cash primarily for the following investing activities (in thousands):

Funds spent on capital expenditures, which are comprised of building and tenant improvements, increased from $108.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $282.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increased capital expenditures relate primarily to increased costs incurred in connection with the redevelopment of properties and new leasing activity.

Capitalization
As of September 30, 2014, SL Green had 95,944,861 shares of common stock, 3,735,478 common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by persons other than the Company, 9,200,000 shares of SL Green's 6.50% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or Series I Preferred Stock, outstanding. In addition, persons other than the Company held Preferred Units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership having an aggregate liquidation preference of $77.1 million.
At-the-Market Offering Program
In July 2011, the Company, along with the Operating Partnership, entered into an "at-the-market" equity offering program, or ATM Program, to sell an aggregate of $250.0 million of SL Green's common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold 25,659 shares of our common stock out of the remaining balance of this ATM Program for aggregate net proceeds of $2.8 million. The net proceeds from this offering were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 25,659 units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership.
In June 2014, the Company, along with the Operating Partnership, entered into a new ATM Program to sell an aggregate of $300.0 million of SL Green's common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold 367,781 shares of our common stock for aggregate net proceeds of $40.3 million. The net proceeds from this offering were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 367,781 units of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2014, $259.2 million remained available for issuance of common stock under the new ATM Program.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2012, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC for our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or DRIP, which automatically became effective upon filing. The Company registered 3,500,000 shares of SL Green's common stock under the DRIP. The DRIP commenced on September 24, 2001.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 400 shares of SL Green's common stock and received approximately $40,000 of net proceeds, respectively, from dividend reinvestments and/or stock purchases under the DRIP. DRIP shares may be issued at a discount to the market price.
Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
The Third Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was approved by the Company's board of directors in April 2013 and its stockholders in June 2013 at the Company's annual meeting of the stockholders. Subject to adjustments upon certain corporate transactions or events, up to a maximum of 17,130,000 fungible units may be granted as options, restricted stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards under the 2005 Plan.  As of September 30, 2014, 3,200,000 fungible units were available for issuance under the 2005 Plan after reserving for shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, phantom stock units granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors’ Deferral Program and LTIP Units, including, among others, outstanding LTIP Units issued under our 2011 Long-Term Outperformance Plan.

2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Plan
In December 2009, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2010 Notional Unit Long-Term Compensation Program, or the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan. The 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan is a long-term incentive compensation plan pursuant to which award recipients could earn, in the aggregate, from approximately $15.0 million up to approximately $75.0 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on the Company's stock price appreciation over three years beginning on December 1, 2009; provided that, if maximum performance had been achieved, approximately $25.0 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately $25.0 million of awards could be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. In order to achieve maximum performance under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, the Company's aggregate stock price appreciation during the performance period had to equal or exceed 50%. The compensation committee determined that maximum performance had been achieved at or shortly after the beginning of each of the second and third years of the performance period and for the full performance period and, accordingly, 366,815 LTIP Units, 385,583 LTIP Units and 327,416 LTIP Units were earned under the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan in December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Substantially in accordance with the original terms of the program, 50% of these LTIP Units vested on December 17, 2012 (accelerated from the original January 1, 2013 vesting date), 25% of these LTIP Units vested December 11, 2013 (accelerated from the original January 1, 2014 vesting date) and the remainder is scheduled to vest on January 1, 2015 based on continued employment. In accordance with the terms of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan, distributions were not paid on any LTIP Units until they were earned, at which time we paid all distributions that would have been paid on the earned LTIP Units since the beginning of the performance period.
The cost of the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan (approximately $31.7 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of $0.4 million, $2.3 million, $0.9 million and $3.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the 2010 Long-Term Compensation Plan.
2011 Outperformance Plan
In August 2011, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2011 Outperformance Plan, or the 2011 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2011 Outperformance Plan may earn, in the aggregate, up to $85.0 million of LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three-year period beginning September 1, 2011. Under the 2011 Outperformance Plan, participants will be entitled to share in a "performance pool" comprised of LTIP Units with a value equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which our total return to stockholders during the three-year period exceeds a cumulative total return to stockholders of 25%, subject to the maximum of $85.0 million of LTIP Units; provided that if maximum performance has been achieved, approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the second year and an additional approximately one-third of each award may be earned at any time after the beginning of the third year. LTIP Units earned under the 2011 Outperformance Plan will be subject to continued vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2014 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2015, subject to continued employment with us through such dates. Participants will not be entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2011 Outperformance Plan unless and until they are earned. If LTIP Units are earned, each participant will also be entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions will be paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested. In June 2014, the compensation committee determined that maximum performance had been achieved during the third year of the performance period and, accordingly, 560,908 LTIP Units, representing two-thirds of each award, were earned, subject to vesting, under the 2011 Outperformance Plan. The remaining one-third of each award will be earned based on performance through the end of the performance period.
The cost of the 2011 Outperformance Plan (approximately $27.0 million, subject to forfeitures) will be amortized into earnings through the final vesting period. We recorded compensation expense of $1.7 million, $7.8 million, $1.7 million and $6.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the 2011 Outperformance Plan.
2014 Outperformance Plan

In August 2014, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors approved the general terms of the SL Green Realty Corp. 2014 Outperformance Plan, or the 2014 Outperformance Plan. Participants in the 2014 Outperformance Plan may earn, in the aggregate, up to 610,000 LTIP Units in our Operating Partnership based on our total return to stockholders for the three-year period beginning September 1, 2014; however, initially, the compensation committee will only award approximately 50% of the total LTIP Units and will retain discretion as to whether or when it will award the remainder of the total LTIP Units. For each individual award, two-thirds of the LTIP Units may be earned based on the Company’s absolute total return to stockholders

72

Table of Contents

and one-third of the LTIP Units may be earned based on relative total return to stockholders compared to the constituents of the MSCI REIT Index. Awards earned based on absolute total return to stockholders will be determined independently of awards earned based on relative total return to stockholders. In the event the Company’s performance reaches either threshold before the end of the three-year performance period, a pro-rata portion of the maximum award may be earned. For each component, if the Company’s performance reaches the maximum threshold beginning with the 19th month of the performance period, participants will earn one-third of the maximum award that may be earned for that component. If the Company’s performance reaches the maximum threshold during the third year of the performance period for a component, participants will earn up to two-thirds of the maximum award that may be earned for that component. LTIP Units earned under the 2014 Outperformance Plan will be subject to continued vesting requirements, with 50% of any awards earned vesting on August 31, 2017 and the remaining 50% vesting on August 31, 2018, subject to continued employment with us through August 31, 2018. Participants will not be entitled to distributions with respect to LTIP Units granted under the 2014 Outperformance Plan unless and until they are earned. If LTIP Units are earned, each participant will also be entitled to the distributions that would have been paid had the number of earned LTIP Units been issued at the beginning of the performance period, with such distributions being paid in the form of additional LTIP Units. Thereafter, distributions will be paid currently with respect to all earned LTIP Units, whether vested or unvested. Awards have not yet been granted under the 2014 Outperformance Plan.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors
Under our Non-Employee Directors' Deferral Program, which commenced July 2004, the Company's non-employee directors may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual retainer fee, chairman fees, meeting fees and annual stock grant. Unless otherwise elected by a participant, fees deferred under the program shall be credited in the form of phantom stock units. The program provides that a director's phantom stock units generally will be settled in an equal number of shares of common stock upon the earlier of (i) the January 1 coincident with or next following such director's termination of service from the Board of Directors or (ii) a change in control by us, as defined by the program. Phantom stock units are credited to each non-employee director quarterly using the closing price of SL Green's common stock on the first business day of the respective quarter. Each participating non-employee director is also credited with dividend equivalents or phantom stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter, which are either paid in cash currently or credited to the director’s account as additional phantom stock units.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 8,626 phantom stock units were earned. As of September 30, 2014, there were 80,137 phantom stock units outstanding pursuant to our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On September 18, 2007, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, to encourage our employees to increase their efforts to make our business more successful by providing equity-based incentives to eligible employees. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code, and has been adopted by the board to enable our eligible employees to purchase the Company's shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The ESPP became effective on January 1, 2008 with a maximum of 500,000 shares of the common stock available for issuance, subject to adjustment upon a merger, reorganization, stock split or other similar corporate change. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC with respect to the ESPP. The common stock is offered for purchase through a series of successive offering periods. Each offering period will be three months in duration and will begin on the first day of each calendar quarter, with the first offering period having commenced on January 1, 2008. The ESPP provides for eligible employees to purchase the common stock at a purchase price equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or (2) the market value of the common stock on the last day of the offering period. The ESPP was approved by our stockholders at our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders. As of September 30, 2014, 78,563 shares of SL Green's common stock had been issued under the ESPP.
Market Capitalization
At September 30, 2014, borrowings under our mortgages and other loans payable, our 2012 credit facility, senior unsecured notes, trust preferred securities and our share of joint venture debt represented 49.3% of our combined market capitalization of $20.5 billion (based on a common stock price of $101.32 per share, the closing price of SL Green's common stock on the NYSE on September 30, 2014). Market capitalization includes our consolidated debt, common and preferred stock and the conversion of all units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and our share of joint venture debt.

The variable rate debt shown above generally bears interest at an interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR (0.16% and 0.17% at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively). Our consolidated debt at September 30, 2014 had a weighted average term to maturity of 5.8 years.
Certain of our debt and preferred equity investments, with a face amount of $525.0 million at September 30, 2014, are variable rate investments which mitigate our exposure to interest rate changes on our unhedged variable rate debt.
Mortgage Financing
As of September 30, 2014, our total mortgage debt (excluding our share of joint venture mortgage debt of $1.4 billion) consisted of $4.7 billion of fixed rate debt, including swapped variable rate debt, with an effective weighted average interest rate of 5.15% and $1.6 billion of variable rate debt with an effective weighted average interest rate of 2.04%.
Corporate Indebtedness
2012 Credit Facility
In March 2014, we entered into an amendment to the $1.6 billion credit facility, entered into by the Company in November 2012, or the 2012 credit facility, which, among other things, increased the term loan portion of the 2012 credit facility by $383.0 million to $783.0 million, decreased the interest-rate margin applicable to the term loan facility by 25 basis points and extended the maturity of the term loan portion of the facility from March 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The 2012 credit facility, as amended, consists of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility, or the revolving credit facility, and a $783.0 million term loan facility, or the term loan facility. The revolving credit facility matures in March 2017 and includes two six-month as-of-right extension options, subject to the payment of an extension fee of 10 basis points for each such extension. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, without the consent of existing lenders, to increase the capacity under the revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity date for the revolving credit facility, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions.
The 2012 credit facility bears interest at a spread over LIBOR ranging from (i) 100 basis points to 175 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility and (ii) 95 basis points to 190 basis points for loans under the term loan facility, in each case

74

Table of Contents

based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. At September 30, 2014, the applicable spread was 145 basis points for the revolving credit facility and 140 basis points for the term loan facility. At September 30, 2014, the effective interest rate was 1.61% for the revolving credit facility and 1.64% for the term loan facility. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 15 to 35 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. As of September 30, 2014, the facility fee was 30 basis points. At September 30, 2014, we had $113.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, $244.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $783.0 million outstanding under the term loan facility, with total undrawn capacity of $0.8 billion under the revolving credit facility.
In connection with the amendment of the 2012 credit facility, we incurred debt origination and other loan costs of $2.8 million. We evaluated the modification pursuant to ASC 470 and determined that the terms of the amendment were not substantially different from the terms of the previous 2012 credit facility. As a result, these deferred costs and the unamortized balance of the costs previously incurred are amortized through the extended maturity date of the term loan facility.
The Company, the Operating Partnership and ROP are all borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2012 credit facility. None of our other subsidiaries are obligors under the 2012 credit facility.
The 2012 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).
Master Repurchase Agreement
The Master Repurchase Agreement, as amended in December 2013, or MRA, provides us an ability to sell certain debt investments in exchange for cash with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same debt investments at a certain date or on demand. This MRA has a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million and bears interest ranging from 250 and 325 basis points over one-month LIBOR depending on the pledged collateral. As of September 30, 2014, we have drawn $100.0 million under the MRA.

The notes are guaranteed by ROP. On the issuance date, $78.3 million of the debt balance was recorded in equity. As of September 30, 2014, $38.8 million remained to be amortized into the debt balance.

Issued by the Operating Partnership. Interest on these remaining exchangeable notes is payable semi-annually on March 30 and September 30. The notes have an initial exchange rate representing an exchange price that was set at a 25.0% premium to the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on March 20, 2007, or $173.30. The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable upon the occurrence of specified events and during the period beginning on the twenty-second scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date and ending on the second business day prior to the maturity date, into cash or a combination of cash and shares of SL Green's common stock, if any, at our option. The notes are currently redeemable at the Operating Partnership’s option. The Operating Partnership may be required to repurchase the notes on March 30, 2017 and 2022, and upon the occurrence of certain designated events.

In August 2014, these notes were repaid at maturity.

Junior Subordinate Deferrable Interest Debentures
In June 2005, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued $100.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities, which are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as Junior Subordinate Deferrable Interest Debentures. The $100.0 million of junior subordinate deferrable interest debentures have a 30-year term ending July 2035. They bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.61% for the first 10 years ending July 2015. Thereafter, the interest rate will float at three-month LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The Trust Preferred Securities are redeemable at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, with no prepayment premium.
Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2012 credit facility and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends (as discussed below), make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum amount of tangible net worth, a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that we will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Market Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable rate debt. Our exposure to interest rate changes are managed through either the use of interest rate derivative instruments and/or through our variable rate debt and preferred equity investments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates along the entire interest rate curve for 2014 would increase our annual interest cost, net of interest income from variable rate debt and preferred equity investments, by approximately $20.1 million and would increase our share of joint venture annual interest cost by approximately $7.8 million.
We recognize most derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is considered a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
We have $6.1 billion of fixed-rate long-term debt, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. The interest rate on our variable rate debt and variable rate joint venture debt as of September 30, 2014 was based on LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 90 basis points to 935 basis points.
Contractual Obligations
Refer to our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations. There have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to these contractual obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have a number of off-balance sheet investments, including joint ventures and debt and preferred equity investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. Substantially all of our joint venture arrangements are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial decisions of these joint venture arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" and Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Capital Expenditures
We estimate that for the three months ending December 31, 2014, we expect to incur approximately $103.2 million of our share of recurring capital expenditures and $45.3 million of development expenditures, which are net of loan reserves, (including

76

Table of Contents

tenant improvements and leasing commissions) on existing consolidated properties, and we estimate that our share of capital expenditures at our joint venture properties, net of loan reserves, will be approximately $44.7 million. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with operating cash flow, additional property level mortgage financings and cash on hand. Future property acquisitions may require substantial capital investments for refurbishment and leasing costs. We expect that these financing requirements will be met in a similar fashion. We believe that we will have sufficient resources to satisfy our capital needs during the next 12-month period. Thereafter, we expect our capital needs will be met through a combination of cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, borrowings, potential asset sales or additional equity or debt issuances.
Dividends/Distributions
We expect to pay dividends to our stockholders based on the distributions we receive from our Operating Partnership primarily from property revenues net of operating expenses or, if necessary, from working capital or borrowings.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must pay annual dividends to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined before taking into consideration the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains. We intend to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders. Based on our current annual dividend rate of $2.00 per share, we would pay approximately $193.0 million in dividends to SL Green's common stockholders on an annual basis. Before we pay any dividend, whether for Federal income tax purposes or otherwise, which would only be paid out of available cash to the extent permitted under our 2012 credit facility and senior unsecured notes, we must first meet both our operating requirements and scheduled debt service on our mortgages and loans payable.
Related Party Transactions
Cleaning/ Security/ Messenger and Restoration Services
Through Alliance Building Services, or Alliance, First Quality Maintenance, L.P., or First Quality, provides cleaning, extermination and related services, Classic Security LLC provides security services, Bright Star Couriers LLC provides messenger services, and Onyx Restoration Works provides restoration services with respect to certain properties owned by us. Alliance is partially owned by Gary Green, a son of Stephen L. Green, the chairman of SL Green's board of directors. In addition, First Quality has the non-exclusive opportunity to provide cleaning and related services to individual tenants at our properties on a basis separately negotiated with any tenant seeking such additional services. The Service Corporation has entered into an arrangement with Alliance whereby it will receive a profit participation above a certain threshold for services provided by Alliance to certain tenants at certain buildings above the base services specified in their lease agreements. Income earned from profit participation, which is included in other income on the consolidated statements of income, was $0.9 million, $2.8 million, $0.8 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We also recorded expenses of $5.9 million, $14.7 million, $5.9 million and $16.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for these services (excluding services provided directly to tenants).
Marketing Services
A-List Marketing, LLC, or A-List, provides marketing services to us. Deena Wolff, a sister of Marc Holliday, our chief executive officer, is the owner of A-List. We recorded approximately $26,800, $121,600, $50,700 and $158,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for these services.
Leases
Nancy Peck and Company leases 1,003 square feet of space at 420 Lexington Avenue under a lease that ends in August 2015. Nancy Peck and Company is owned by Nancy Peck, the wife of Stephen L. Green. The rent due pursuant to the lease was $35,516 per annum for year one increasing to $40,000 in year seven.
Management Fees
S.L. Green Management Corp., a consolidated entity, receives property management fees from an entity in which Stephen L. Green owns an interest. We received management fees from such entity of approximately $114,300, $330,700, $105,200 and $318,900 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Insurance
We maintain “all-risk” property and rental value coverage (including coverage regarding the perils of flood, earthquake and terrorism) within three property insurance portfolios and liability insurance. As of September 30, 2014, the first property portfolio maintains a blanket limit of $950.0 million per occurrence, including terrorism, for the majority of the New York City properties in our portfolio and expires December 31, 2014. The second portfolio maintains a limit of $700.0 million per occurrence, including terrorism, for several New York City properties and the majority of the Suburban properties and expires December 31, 2015. Each of these policies includes $100.0 million of flood coverage, with a lower sublimit for locations in high hazard flood zones. A third blanket property policy covers most of our residential assets and maintains a limit of $300 million per occurence, including terrorism, for our residential properties and expires January 31, 2015. We maintain two liability policies which cover all our properties and

77

Table of Contents

provide limits of $201.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate per location. The liability policies expire on October 31, 2015 and January 31, 2015 and cover our commercial and residential, respectively. Additional coverage may be purchased on a stand-alone basis for certain assets.
In October 2006, we formed a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, Belmont Insurance Company, or Belmont, to act as a captive insurance company and be one of the elements of our overall insurance program. Belmont is a subsidiary of ours. Belmont was formed in an effort to, among other reasons, stabilize to some extent the fluctuations of insurance market conditions. Belmont is licensed in New York to write Terrorism, NBCR (nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological), General Liability, Environmental Liability, Flood, Professional Liability and Employment Practices Liability, and D&O coverage.
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, or TRIA, which was enacted in November 2002, was renewed December 31, 2005 and again on December 31, 2007. Congress extended TRIA, now called TRIPRA (Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization and Extension Act of 2007) until December 31, 2014. The law extends the federal Terrorism Insurance Program that requires insurance companies to offer terrorism coverage and provides for compensation for insured losses resulting from acts of certified terrorism, subject to the current program trigger of $100.0 million. There is no assurance that TRIPRA will be extended. Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), mezzanine loans, ground leases, our 2012 credit facility, senior unsecured notes and other corporate obligations, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we currently maintain sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy these obligations, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. In such instances, there can be no assurance that the lenders or ground lessors under these instruments will not take the position that a total or partial exclusion from “all-risk” insurance coverage for losses due to terrorist acts is a breach of these debt and ground lease instruments allowing the lenders or ground lessors to declare an event of default and accelerate repayment of debt or recapture of ground lease positions. In addition, if lenders prevail in asserting that we are required to maintain full coverage for these risks, it could result in substantially higher insurance premiums.
We own Belmont and the accounts of Belmont are part of our consolidated financial statements. If Belmont experiences a loss and is required to pay under its insurance policy, we would ultimately record the loss to the extent of Belmont’s required payment. Therefore, insurance coverage provided by Belmont should not be considered as the equivalent of third-party insurance, but rather as a modified form of self-insurance.
We monitor all properties that are subject to triple net leases to ensure that tenants are providing adequate coverage.  Certain joint ventures may be covered under policies separate from our policies, at coverage limits, which we deem to be adequate.  We continually monitor these policies.  Although we consider our insurance coverage to be appropriate, in the event of a major catastrophe, we may not have sufficient coverage to replace certain properties.
Funds from Operations
Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in April 2002, and as subsequently amended, defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructurings, sales of properties and real estate related impairment charges, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, particularly those that own and operate commercial office properties.
We also use FFO as one of several criteria to determine performance-based bonuses for members of our senior management. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations as well as operating expense recoveries based on increases in the Consumer Price Index or other measures such as porters' wage. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.

The Accounting Standards Updates are discussed in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies-Accounting Standards Updates" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market risk, see Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Market Rate Risk" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 for the Company and the Operating Partnership and Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2013.
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
SL GREEN REALTY CORP.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those the Company maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
