Context This was an award of restricted partnership units (a derivative equity grant), not an open‑market purchase or sale. The units convert one-for-one into Class A Units, which can be redeemed for cash or converted into common shares of Vornado at the company’s election — effectively a deferred-equity award with holding/transfer restrictions while the recipient serves on the board. Such grants are routine compensation for directors and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling intent in the public market.
