This Amendment No. 28 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D Statement originally filed by Interstate Properties on September 26, 1980 with respect to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of Alexander’s, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive offices at 210 Route 4 East, Paramus, New Jersey 07652. The statement on Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended and supplemented and as amended and supplemented hereby, remains in full force and effect.
Item 2.Identity and Background.
(a) – (c) and (f) This Statement is being filed by Interstate Properties, a New Jersey general partnership (“Interstate” or the “Reporting Person”) of which the three general partners are Messrs. Steven Roth, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. Interstate has its principal executive offices at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, c/o Vornado Realty Trust. The principal business of Interstate is real estate and investments. As of July 31, 2023, Interstate owns approximately 2.9% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial ownership of Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“Vornado”).
Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On August 23, 2023, Interstate distributed to a partner of Interstate, Russell B. Wight, Jr., 251,522 Shares of the Company. The distribution of Shares to Mr. Wight by Interstate is equal to Mr. Wight’s pecuniary interest in the Shares held by Interstate immediately prior to such distribution. Mr. Wight is a Trustee of Vornado and a director of the Company.
Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)– (b). Interstate owns 503,046 Shares (9.8% of the 5,107,290 Shares reported by the Company as outstanding as of June 30, 2023 in its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023). Interstate has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares. While Interstate may be deemed to be a group with Vornado and Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and thus to beneficially own all Shares held by Vornado and the Operating Partnership (1,654,068 Shares or 32.4%), Interstate does not have sole or shared voting or dispositive power with respect to such Shares. Including the Shares Vornado and the Operating Partnership beneficially own, Interstate would own 2,157,114 Shares (42.2%) of the outstanding Shares. In addition, Mr. Steven Roth, a general partner of Interstate and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, beneficially owns 166,229 Shares (9,700 Shares directly, 3,053 Shares that Mr. Roth has the right to acquire upon his retirement pursuant to deferred stock units granted to him by the Company, and 153,476 Shares through a limited liability company of which he is the majority owner and managing member, representing an aggregate beneficial ownership of 3.3%), as to which he has sole voting and dispositive power; Mr. Russell B. Wight, Jr., a general partner of Interstate and director of the Company, beneficially owns 456,575 Shares (453,522 directly and 3,053 Shares that Mr. Wight has the right to acquire upon his retirement pursuant to deferred stock units granted to him by the Company, representing an aggregate beneficial ownership of 8.9%; does not include 2,773 Shares owned by Mr. Wight’s children or 500 Shares owned by Mr. Wight’s spouse, as to which Mr. Wight disclaims any beneficial interest), as to which Mr. Wight holds sole or shared voting and dispositive power; and David Mandelbaum, a general partner of Interstate and director of the Company, beneficially owns 210,790 Shares directly, including 3,053 Shares that Mr. Mandelbaum has the right to acquire upon his retirement pursuant to deferred stock units granted to him by the Company (representing beneficial ownership of 4.1%), as to which Mr. Mandelbaum holds sole dispositive power.
As of the close of business on August 23, 2023, the aggregate beneficial ownership of Interstate and its three partners and Vornado is 2,990,708 Shares, or 58.5% of the outstanding Shares.
