NEW YORK, N.Y. — November 30, 2006 — SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE: SLG) announced today that the Company priced after the close of trading yesterday a public offering of 3,700,000 shares of its common stock resulting in gross proceeds of $497.65 million. Lehman Brothers acted as sole underwriter for this offering, and was also granted an option to purchase up to an additional 555,000 shares solely to cover over-allotments. The offering is pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective universal shelf registration statement. The closing of the offering is subject to customary conditions and is expected to occur on or about December 5, 2006.
The company intends to contribute the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby to its operating partnership, which would use such net proceeds to fund acquisitions, which may include funding a portion of the cash purchase price relating to the Reckson transaction, structured finance investments, to repay all or a portion of the amount outstanding under any of its borrowings, and for other general corporate and/or working capital purposes.
In the prospectus supplement the Company noted that as a result of the Rome proposal, it has been evaluating whether to make an amended offer to purchase Reckson if and when the Company receives a superior notice by the Reckson board as contemplated under the merger agreement. Absent a significant movement in the Company’s stock price, which automatically would increase the value of the consideration due to the Reckson shareholders, the Company has no intention of increasing the price it will pay for Reckson to $49 per share.
Copies of the final prospectus supplement and prospectus for the offering may be obtained from Lehman Brothers Inc., c/o ADP Financial Services, Integrated Distribution Services, 1155 Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, NY 11717; (email) Monica_Castillo@adp.com; (fax): 631-254-7268. Copies may also be obtained from Andrew S. Levine, SL Green Realty Corp., 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170.
