EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 of Veris Residential, Inc. and Veris Residential, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Veris Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and references to the “General Partner” mean Veris Residential, Inc., a Maryland corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively the General Partner, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by the General Partner.

The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing management, leasing, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Veris property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

As of June 30, 2022, the General Partner owned an approximate 90.7 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 9.3 percent common unit interest is owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are (1) persons who contributed their interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units (each, a “Common Unit”) or preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership or (2) recipients of long term incentive plan units of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the General Partner’s executive compensation plans.

A Common Unit of the Operating Partnership and a share of common stock of the General Partner (the “Common Stock”) have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Company. The General Partner owns a number of common units of the Operating Partnership equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of the General Partner’s common stock. Common unitholders (other than the General Partner) have the right to redeem their Common Units, subject to certain restrictions under the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”) and agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: one share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each Common Unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of Common Units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock of the General Partner, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock of the General Partner as opposed to cash, the General Partner is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the Company or the General Partner under any circumstances. With each such redemption, the General Partner’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever the General Partner issues shares of its Common Stock other than to acquire Common Units, the General Partner must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to the General Partner an equivalent number of Common Units. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

•enhance investors’ understanding of the General Partner 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 of the Company;

•eliminate duplicative disclosure and provide a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the General Partner and the Operating Partnership; and

•create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in the context of how they operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the General Partner. The General Partner does not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its interests in the Operating Partnership, nor does the Operating Partnership have employees of its own. The Operating Partnership, not the General Partner, generally executes all

Table of Contents

significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of the General Partner. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the General Partner, including ownership interests in joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by the General Partner, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in consideration of common or preferred units in the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities, and proceeds received from the disposition of properties and joint ventures.

Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements as is the General Partner’s interest in the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements comprise the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships and development joint venture partners. The noncontrolling interests in the General Partner’s financial statements are the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership’s level and include limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at the General Partner and Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors better understand the key differences between the General Partner and the Operating Partnership, certain information for the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in this report has been separated, as set forth below:

•Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited), which includes the following specific disclosures for Veris Residential, Inc. and Veris Residential, L.P.:

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of the General Partner and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the General Partner and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

VERIS RESIDENTIAL, INC., VERIS RESIDENTIAL, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION

Veris Residential, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “General Partner”) is a fully-integrated self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). In December 2021, the Company changed its names from Mack-Cali Realty Corporation to Veris Residential, Inc. and Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. to Veris Residential, L.P. reflecting the Company’s continued transition to a multifamily REIT, and on December 10, 2021, the General Partner began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under its new ticker symbol, “VRE.” The General Partner controls Veris Residential, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”), as its sole general partner and owned a 90.7 and 91.0 percent common unit interest in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The General Partner’s business is the ownership of interests in and operation of the Operating Partnership and all of the General Partner’s expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. The General Partner is reimbursed by the Operating Partnership for all expenses it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing management, leasing, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Veris property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies, is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned or had interests in 36 properties (the “Properties”) and developable land. The Properties are comprised of 23 multifamily rental properties as well as non-core assets comprised of 6 office properties, 4 parking/retail properties and 3 hotels. The Properties are comprised of: (a) 27 wholly-owned or Company-controlled properties comprised of 16 multifamily properties and 11 non-core assets, and (b) 9 properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has investment interests, including 7 multifamily properties and 2 non-core assets.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2 to the 2021 10-K: Significant Accounting Policies – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted accounting guidance under ASC 810, Consolidation, modifying the analysis it must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, the Operating

Table of content s

Partnership will be a variable interest entity of the parent company, Veris Residential, Inc.. As the Operating Partnership is already consolidated in the balance sheets of Veris Residential, Inc., the identification of this entity as a variable interest entity has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of Veris Residential, Inc.. There were no other legal entities qualifying under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s investments in consolidated real estate joint ventures, which are variable interest entities in which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, other than Veris Residential Partners, L.P., formerly known as Roseland Residential, L.P. (See Note 14: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Rockpoint Transaction), have total real estate assets of $473.4 million and $477.5 million, respectively, other assets of $5.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, mortgages of $285.6 million and $285.7 million, respectively, and other liabilities of $20.1 million and $21.2 million, respectively.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these financial statements.

Rental Property

Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, which revises the definition of a business and is expected to result in more transactions to be accounted for as asset acquisitions and significantly limit transactions that would be accounted for as business combinations. Where an acquisition has been determined to be an asset acquisition, acquisition-related costs are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, salaries and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development and construction salaries and related costs approximated $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

Included in net investment in rental property as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is real estate and building and tenant improvements not in service, as follows (dollars in thousands):


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Land held for development (including pre-development costs, if any) (a)(b)	$	289,459	$	341,496
Development and construction in progress, including land (c)	446,281		694,768
Total	$	735,740	$	1,036,264

(a)Includes predevelopment and infrastructure costs included in buildings and improvements of $118.0 million and $150.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(b)Includes land of $68.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(c)Includes $35.2 million of land and $77.6 million of building and improvements pertaining to assets held for sale at June 30, 2022.

Table of content s

The Company considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity (as distinguished from activities such as routine maintenance and cleanup). If portions of a rental project are substantially completed and occupied by tenants or residents, or held available for occupancy, and other portions have not yet reached that stage, the substantially completed portions are accounted for as a separate project. The Company allocates costs incurred between the portions under construction and the portions substantially completed and held available for occupancy, primarily based on a percentage of the relative commercial square footage or multifamily units of each portion, and capitalizes only those costs associated with the portion under construction.

Dividends and Distributions Payable

On September 30, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors was suspending its common dividends and distributions attributable to the third and fourth quarters 2020. As the Company’s management estimated that as of September 2020 it had satisfied its dividend obligations as a REIT on taxable income expected for 2020, the Board made the strategic decision to suspend its common dividends and distributions for the remainder of 2020 in an effort to provide greater financial flexibility during the pandemic and to retain incremental capital to support leasing initiatives at its Harborside commercial office properties on the Jersey City waterfront. On March 19, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors would continue to suspend its common dividend for the remainder of 2021 in order to conserve capital and allow for greater financial flexibility during this period of heightened economic uncertainty and based on the Company’s then projected 2021 taxable income estimates. The Company believes that with its taxable income/loss for 2021, it has met its dividend obligations as a REIT for the year with no dividends paid. The Company anticipates its regular quarterly common dividend to remain suspended in 2022 while it seeks to conclude its transition into a pureplay multifamily REIT.

The dividends and distributions payable at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 represent amounts payable on unvested LTIP units.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance is optional and is effective between June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The guidance may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company does not expect the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. RECENT TRANSACTIONS

Acquisition

On March 16, 2022, the Company agreed to acquire a 240-apartment unit multifamily property in Park Ridge, New Jersey, for a purchase price of $129.6 million. The transaction closed on July 21, 2022.

Real Estate Held for Sale/Discontinued Operations/Dispositions

The Company had discontinued operations related to its former suburban New Jersey office portfolio (collectively, the “Suburban Office Portfolio”) which represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations in 2019. The Company has sold all but one of those assets and expects to dispose of this final suburban office asset in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 7: Discontinued Operations.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company identified as held for sale 2 office properties totaling approximately 1.6 million square feet and several developable land parcels, which are located in Jersey City, Holmdel, Parsippany, Morris Township, Wall and Weehawken, New Jersey. As a result of recent sales contracts in place, the Company determined that the carrying value of 1 of the remaining held for sale properties and 2 land parcels held for sale was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, recognized an unrealized held for sale loss allowance of $4.4 million (all of which is included in discontinued operations) and also recorded land and other impairments of $3.9 million.

As of June 30, 2022 2 land parcels that were previously identified as held for sale were reclassified as held and used resulting in transaction costs of $0.1 million.

The total estimated sales proceeds of real estate held for sale, net of expected selling costs but before the extinguishment of $250 million of mortgages encumbering an office property and related costs, are expected to be approximately $516.2 million.

The following table summarizes the real estate held for sale, net, and other assets and liabilities (dollars in thousands):

Impairments on Properties and Land Held and Used

The Company determined that, due to the shortening of its expected hold period for several land parcels, it was necessary to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair values. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.9 million on the land parcels in land and other impairments on the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

4. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $132.8 million in its equity method joint ventures. The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties, or acquired interests in them, to develop or manage properties, or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of rental properties. As of June 30, 2022, the unconsolidated joint ventures owned: 7 multifamily properties totaling 2,146 apartment units, a retail property aggregating approximately 51,000 square feet, a 351-room hotel and interests and/or rights to developable land parcels able to accommodate up to 771 apartment units. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20 percent to 85 percent subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the joint ventures.

The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity in earnings) are based on the historical financial information of the individual joint ventures. The Company does not record losses of the joint ventures in excess of its investment balances unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the joint venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the joint venture. The outside basis portion of the Company’s investments in joint ventures is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying ventures’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Unless otherwise noted below, the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse to the Company, except for customary exceptions pertaining to such matters as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.

Table of content s

The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of such debt, subject to guarantees, totaled $189.8 million of which $22 million was guaranteed by the Company. The Company performed management, leasing, development and other services for the properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures, related parties to the Company, and recognized $0.9 million and $0.9 million for such services in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company had $0.2 million and $0.2 million in accounts receivable due from its unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company does not have any investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2022 that are considered VIEs. The Company had 3 investments in unconsolidated joint ventures which were primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support. The Company determined that these unconsolidated joint ventures are no longer VIEs since these ventures have completed their development projects and are now in operation.

The following is a summary of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates $1.0 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 2 interest rate caps outstanding with a notional amount of $185 million designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 19, 2019, the Company announced that its Board had determined to sell the Company’s entire Suburban Office Portfolio totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet, excluding the Company’s office properties in Jersey City, New Jersey. As the decision to sell the Suburban Office Portfolio represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations, these properties’ results are being classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In late 2019 through December 31, 2021, the Company completed the sale of all but one of its 37 properties in the Suburban Office Portfolio, totaling 6.3 million square feet, for net sales proceeds of $1.0 billion. The last property in the Suburban Office Portfolio, a 350,000 square foot office property, was reclassified as held for sale at June 30, 2022, and the Company expects to dispose of this property in the fourth quarter of 2022. As a result of the sales contract in place, the Company determined that the carrying value of the held for sale property was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds and accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, recognized an unrealized held for sale loss allowance of $4.4 million.

The following table summarizes income from discontinued operations and the related realized gains (losses) and unrealized losses on disposition of rental property and impairments, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands):

8. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERM LOANS

On May 6, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2021 Credit Agreement”) with a group of 7 lenders that provides for a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility") and a $150 million senior secured term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan”), and delivered written notice to the administrative agent to terminate the 2017 credit agreement, which termination became effective on May 13, 2021.

The terms of the 2021 Credit Facility included: (1) a three year term ending in May 2024; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with a sublimit under the 2021 Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50 million; and (3) a first priority lien in unencumbered properties of the Company with an appraised value greater than or equal to $800 million which must include the Company’s Harborside 2/3 and Harborside 5 properties; and (4) a facility fee payable quarterly equal to 35 basis points if usage of the 2021 Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%, and 25 basis points if usage of the 2021 Credit Facility is greater than 50%.

The terms of the 2021 Term Loan included: (1) an eighteen month term ending in November 2022; (2) a single draw of the term loan commitments up to an aggregate principal amount of $150 million; and (3) a first priority lien in unencumbered properties of the Company with an appraised value greater than or equal to $800 million which must include the Company’s Harborside 2/3 and Harborside 5 properties.

Interest on borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility and 2021 Term Loan shall be based on applicable base rate (the “Base Rate”) plus a margin ranging from 125 basis points to 275 basis points depending on the Base Rate elected, currently 0.12%. The Base Rate shall be either (A) the highest of (i) the Wall Street Journal prime rate, (ii) the greater of the then effective (x) Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (y) Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 50 basis points, and (iii) a LIBO Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”) and calculated for a one-month interest period, plus 100 basis points (such highest amount being the “ABR Rate”), or (B) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable interest period; provided, however, that the ABR Rate shall not be less than 1% and the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall not be less than zero.

The 2021 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2021 Credit Facility and 2021 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum collateral pool value ($800 million), maximum collateral pool leverage ratio (40 percent), minimum number of collateral pool properties (2), the maximum total leverage ratio (65 percent), the minimum debt service coverage ratio (1.10 times until May 6, 2022, 1.20 times from May 7, 2022 through May 6, 2023, and 1.40 times thereafter), and the minimum tangible net worth ratio (80% of tangible net worth as of December 31, 2020 plus 80% of net cash proceeds of equity issuances by the General Partner or the Operating Partnership).

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains “change of control” provisions that permit the lenders to declare a default and require the immediate repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility. These change of control provisions, which have been an event of default under the agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facilities since June 2000, are triggered if, among other things, a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors (other than vacant seats) become occupied by directors who were neither nominated by the Board of Directors, nor appointed by the Board of Directors. If these change of control provisions were triggered, the Company could seek a forbearance, waiver or amendment of the change of control provisions from the lenders, however there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such forbearance, waiver or amendment on acceptable terms or at all. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the entire outstanding balance under the 2021 Credit Agreement may (or, in the case of any bankruptcy event of default, shall) become immediately due and payable, and the Company will not make any excess distributions except to enable the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT under the IRS Code.

On May 6, 2021, the Company drew the full $150 million available under the 2021 Term Loan and borrowed $145 million from the 2021 Credit Facility to retire the Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes. In June 2021, the Company paid down a total of $123 million of borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan, using sales proceeds from several of the Company’s suburban office property dispositions. On July 27, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the 2021 Term Loan of $27 million using proceeds from the disposition of a suburban office properties previously held for sale.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under its revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2022.

(b)In January 2022, the Company repaid this mortgage loan upon disposition of the property which was collateral against the mortgage loan. This mortgage loan did not permit early pre-payment. As a result of the disposal of the property, the Company incurred costs of approximately $6.3 million at closing, which was expensed as loss from extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 3-Recent Transactions.

(c)In May 2021, the Company executed an agreement extending its maturity date to April 2023, with a six month extension option. The Company repaid $5 million of the outstanding principal and has guaranteed $14.5 million of the outstanding principal, subject to certain conditions. The loan requires a debt service coverage charge test (“DSCR Test”), which the Company was not in compliance with for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Therefore, the Company was required to deposit three months of interest amounting to $0.7 million into an escrow account and sweep all excess property level cash flows into such escrow account until two consecutive periods have passed where the Company is in compliance with the DSCR Test. The Company does not believe this will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

(d)This construction loan has a LIBOR floor of 2.0 percent, has a maximum borrowing capacity of $300 million and provides, subject to certain conditions, a one year extension option with a fee of 25 basis points.

(e)The Company has guaranteed 10 percent of the outstanding principal, subject to certain conditions.

(f)On October 27, 2021, the Company obtained a $75 million mortgage loan maturing in October 2026 and repaid the existing construction loan. The Company entered into an interest-rate cap agreement for the mortgage loan.

(g)The construction loan had a maximum borrowing capacity of $92 million. On June 21, 2022, the Company obtained a $110 million mortgage loan maturing in June 2027 from a different lender and repaid the existing construction loan. The Company entered into an interest-rate cap agreement for the mortgage loan.

(h)Effective rate reflects the first five years of interest payments at a fixed rate. Interest payments after that period ends are based on LIBOR plus 2.75% annually.

(i)The loan was modified to defer interest and principal payments for a six month period ending December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2022, deferred interest of $0.8 million has been added to the principal balance.

CASH PAID FOR INTEREST AND INTEREST CAPITALIZED

Cash paid for interest for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $37.0 million and $48.5 million (of which zero and $1.3 million pertained to properties classified as discontinued operations), respectively. Interest capitalized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $10.5 million and $16.4 million, respectively (which amounts included zero and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of interest capitalized on the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures which were substantially in development).

Employees of the General Partner, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Veris Residential, Inc. 401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Eligible employees may elect to defer from 1 percent up to 60 percent of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. The amounts contributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. The Company may make discretionary matching or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year. Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the Company at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Company. All contributions are allocated as a percentage of compensation of the eligible participants for the Plan year. The assets of the 401(k) Plan are held in trust and a separate account is established for each participant. A participant may receive a distribution of his or her vested account balance in the 401(k) Plan in a single sum or in installment payments upon his or her termination of service with the Company.

11. DISCLOSURE OF FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets and liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, receivables, notes receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, consisting of revolving credit facility and term loan and mortgages, loans payable and other obligations aggregated approximately $2.1 billion and $2.4 billion as compared to the book value of approximately $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was valued using level 3 inputs (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt and the unsecured notes was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative financial instruments utilize level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments valuations in their entirety are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The notes receivable by the Company are presented at the lower of cost basis or net amount expected to be collected in accordance with ASC 326. For its seller-financing note receivable provided to the buyers of the Metropark portfolio, the Company calculated the net present value of contractual cash flows of the total receivable. The Company accordingly recorded a loan loss allowance charge of $110 thousand at June 30, 2022, which was deducted from the amortized cost basis of the note receivable. Such charge was recorded in Interest and other investment income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 5: Deferred charges and other assets, net.

The fair value measurements used in the evaluation of the Company’s rental properties for impairment analysis are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as there are significant unobservable assumptions. Assumptions that were utilized in the fair value calculations include, but are not limited to, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, room rental and food and beverage revenue rates, third-party broker information and information from potential buyers, as applicable.

Valuations of real estate identified as held for sale are based on estimated sale prices, net of estimated selling costs, of such property. In the absence of an executed sales agreement with a set sales price, management’s estimate of the net sales price may be based on a number of unobservable assumptions, including, but not limited to, the Company’s estimates of future cash flows, market capitalization rates and discount rates, if applicable. For developable land, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is also considered based on development rights or plans for the land.

As of June 30, 2022, assumptions that were utilized in the fair value calculation included:

As of June 30, 2022, the Company identified as held for sale 2 office properties totaling approximately 1.6 million square feet and several developable land parcels, which are located in Jersey City, Holmdel, Morris Township, Wall and Weehawken, New Jersey. As a result of recent sales contracts in place, the Company determined that the carrying value of 1 of the remaining held for sale office properties and 2 land parcels held for sale was not expected to be recovered from estimated net sales proceeds, and accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, recognized an unrealized held for sale loss allowance of $4.4 million (all of which is included in discontinued operations) and also recorded land and other impairments of $3.9 million

Disclosure about fair value of assets and liabilities is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2022 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The ongoing impact of COVID-19 worldwide has impacted global economic activity and continues to cause volatility in financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s fair value estimates in the future will depend on developments going forward, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. In consideration of the magnitude of such uncertainties under the current climate, management has considered all available information at its properties and in the marketplace to provide its estimates as of June 30, 2022.

LITIGATION

The Company is a defendant in litigation arising in the normal course of its business activities. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition taken as whole.

GROUND LEASE AGREEMENTS

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground leases under which the Company is the lessee, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Ground lease expense incurred by the Company amounted to $214 thousand and $380 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $562 thousand and $640 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), starting on January 1, 2019, the Company capitalized operating leases, which had a balance of $2.9 million at June 30, 2022 for 2 ground leases. Such amount represents the net present value (“NPV”) of future payments detailed above. The incremental borrowing rate used to arrive at the NPV was 7.618 percent for the remaining ground lease terms of 82.58 years each. These rates were arrived at by adjusting the fixed rates of the Company’s mortgage debt with debt having terms approximating the remaining lease term of the Company’s ground leases and calculating notional rates for fully-collateralized loans.

MANAGEMENT CHANGES

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company announced a number of management changes. Effective, January 12, 2022, the Company terminated the employment of its Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Giovanni M. DeBari, and appointed Ms. Amanda Lombard in his place. In addition, the Company also disclosed that its Chief Financial Officer, David Smetana, would leave the Company at the end of 2022, and that Ms. Lombard would assume the role of CFO at his departure. Mr. Smetana subsequently decided to leave the Company effective March 31, 2022. Ms. Lombard will serve as both principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

In addition, on March 31, 2022, the Company terminated the employment of its Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer Ricardo Cardoso effective April 1, 2022 and the employment of its Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary Gary T. Wagner effective April 15, 2022. It has appointed Jeff Turkanis and Taryn Fielder to succeed each officer, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s total costs incurred relating to the management changes discussed above, including the severance and related costs for the departure of the Company’s former executive officers, as well as other terminated employees, amounted to $1.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively, which was included in general and administrative expense.

OTHER

Certain Company properties acquired by contribution from unrelated common unitholders of the Operating Partnership, were subject to restrictions on disposition, except in a manner which did not result in recognition of built-in-gain allocable to such unitholders or which reimbursed the unitholders for the tax consequences thereof (collectively, the “Property Lock-Ups”). While these Property Lock-Ups, have expired, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to these unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, a former director and David S. Mack, a former director. As of June 30, 2022, taking into account tax-free exchanges on the originally contributed properties, either wholly or partially, over time, 5 of the Company’s properties, as well as certain land and development projects, including properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022, with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.0 billion, are subject to these conditions.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has outstanding stay-on award agreements with 32 employees, which provides them with the potential to receive compensation, in cash or Company stock at the employees’ option, contingent upon remaining with the Company in good standing until the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, which have not been identified. The total potential cost of such awards is currently estimated to be up to approximately $1.7 million, including the potential future issuance of up to 67,981 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such cash or stock awards would only be earned and payable if such transaction was identified and communicated to the employee within seven years of the agreement dates, all of which were signed in late 2020 and early 2021, and all other conditions were satisfied.

14. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

The Company evaluates the terms of the partnership units issued in accordance with the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance. Units which embody an unconditional obligation requiring the Company to redeem the units for cash after a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer are determined to be contingently redeemable under this guidance and are included as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and classified within the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Convertible units for which the Company has the option to settle redemption amounts in cash or Common Stock are included in the caption Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries within the equity section on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Rockpoint Transaction

On February 27, 2017, the Company, Veris Residential Trust (“VRT”), formerly known as Roseland Residential Trust, the Company’s subsidiary through which the Company conducts its multifamily residential real estate operations, Veris Residential Partners, L.P. (“VRLP”), formerly known as Roseland Residential, L.P., the operating partnership through which VRT conducts all of its operations, and certain other affiliates of the Company entered into a preferred equity investment agreement (the “Original Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). The Original Investment Agreement provided for

Table of content s

VRT to contribute property to VRLP in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in VRLP (the “Common Units”) and for multiple equity investments by Rockpoint in VRLP from time to time for up to an aggregate of $300 million of preferred units of limited partnership interests in VRLP (the “Preferred Units”). The initial closing under the Original Investment Agreement occurred on March 10, 2017 for $150 million of Preferred Units and the parties agreed that the Company’s contributed equity value (“VRT Contributed Equity Value”), was $1.23 billion at closing. During the year ended December 31, 2018, a total additional amount of $105 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, a total additional amount of $45 million of Preferred Units were issued and sold to Rockpoint pursuant to the Original Investment Agreement, which brought the Preferred Units to the full balance of $300 million. In addition, certain contributions of property to VRLP by VRT subsequent to the execution of the Original Investment Agreement resulted in VRT being issued approximately $46 million of Preferred Units and Common Units in VRLP prior to June 26, 2019.

On June 26, 2019, the Company, VRT, VRLP, certain other affiliates of the Company and Rockpoint entered into an additional preferred equity investment agreement (the “Add On Investment Agreement”). The closing under the Add On Investment Agreement occurred on June 28, 2019. Pursuant to the Add On Investment Agreement, Rockpoint invested an additional $100 million in Preferred Units and the Company and VRT agreed to contribute to VRLP 2 additional properties located in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Company used the $100 million in proceeds received to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and other debt by June 30, 2019. In addition, Rockpoint has a right of first refusal to invest another $100 million in Preferred Units in the event VRT determines that VRLP requires additional capital prior to March 1, 2023 and, subject thereto, VRLP may issue up to approximately $154 million in Preferred Units to VRT or an affiliate so long as at the time of such funding VRT determines in good faith that VRLP has a valid business purpose to use such proceeds. Included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $371 thousand in fees associated with the modifications of the Original Investment Agreement, which were made upon signing of the Add On Investment Agreement.

Under the terms of the new transaction with Rockpoint, the cash flow from operations of VRLP will be distributable to Rockpoint and VRT as follows:

•first, to provide a 6% annual return to Rockpoint and VRT on their capital invested in Preferred Units (the “Preferred Base Return”);

•second, 95.36% to VRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until VRT has received a 6% annual return (the “VRT Base Return”) on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to VRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event VRT contributes additional property to VRLP in the future; and

•third, pro rata to Rockpoint and VRT based on total respective capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred Units and Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at June 30, 2022, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to VRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to VRT in respect of Common Units).

VRLP’s cash flow from capital events will generally be distributable by VRLP to Rockpoint and VRT as follows:

•first, to Rockpoint and VRT to the extent there is any unpaid, accrued Preferred Base Return;

•second, as a return of capital to Rockpoint and to VRT in respect of Preferred Units;

•third, 95.36% to VRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until VRT has received the VRT Base Return in respect of Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event VRT contributes additional property to VRLP in the future;

•fourth, 95.36% to VRT and 4.64% to Rockpoint until VRT has received a return of capital based on the equity value of the properties contributed by it to VRLP in exchange for Common Units (previously 95% and 5%, respectively, under the Original Investment Agreement), subject to adjustment in the event VRT contributes additional property to the capital of VRLP in the future;

•fifth, pro rata to Rockpoint and VRT based on respective total capital invested in and contributed equity value of Preferred and Common Units until Rockpoint has received an 11% internal rate of return (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of invested capital at June 30, 2022, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 21.89% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 2.65% to VRT in respect of Preferred Units and 75.46% to VRT in respect of Common Units); and

•sixth, to Rockpoint and VRT in respect of their Preferred Units based on 50% of their pro rata shares described in “fifth” above and the balance to VRT in respect of its Common Units (based on Rockpoint’s $400 million of

Table of content s

invested capital at June 30, 2022, this pro rata distribution would be approximately 10.947% to Rockpoint in respect of Preferred Units, 1.325% to VRT in respect of Preferred Units and 87.728% to VRT in respect of Common Units).

In general, VRLP may not sell its properties in taxable transactions, although it may engage in tax-deferred like-kind exchanges of properties or it may proceed in another manner designed to avoid the recognition of gain for tax purposes.

In connection with the Add On Investment Agreement, on June 26, 2019, VRT increased the size of its board of trustees from 6 to 7 persons, with 5 trustees being designated by the Company and 2 trustees being designated by Rockpoint.

In addition, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, VRT and VRLP are required to obtain Rockpoint’s consent with respect to:

•debt financings in excess of a 65% loan-to-value ratio;

•corporate level financings that are pari-passu or senior to the Preferred Units;

•new investment opportunities to the extent the opportunity requires an equity capitalization in excess of 10% of VRLP’s NAV;

•new investment opportunities located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area where VRLP owns no property as of the previous quarter;

•declaration of bankruptcy of VRT;

•transactions between VRT and the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions;

•any equity granted or equity incentive plan adopted by VRLP or any of its subsidiaries; and

•certain matters relating to the Credit Enhancement Note (as defined below) between the Company and VRLP (other than ordinary course borrowings or repayments thereunder).

Under a Discretionary Demand Promissory Note (the “Credit Enhancement Note”), the Company may provide periodic cash advances to VRLP. The Credit Enhancement Note provides for an interest rate equal to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus fifty (50) basis points above the applicable interest rate under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The maximum aggregate principal amount of advances at any one time outstanding under the Credit Enhancement Note is limited to $50 million, an increase of $25 million from the prior transaction.

VRT and VRLP also have agreed, as was the case under the Original Investment Agreement, to register the Preferred Units under certain circumstances in the future in the event VRT or VRLP becomes a publicly traded company.

During the period commencing on June 28, 2019 and ending on March 1, 2023 (the “Lockout Period”), Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units cannot be redeemed or repurchased, except in connection with (a) a sale of all or substantially all of VRLP or a sale of a majority of the then-outstanding interests in VRLP, in each case, which sale is not approved by Rockpoint, or (b) a spin-out or initial public offering of common stock of VRT, or distributions of VRT equity interests by the Company or its affiliates to shareholders or their respective parent interestholders (an acquisition pursuant clauses (a) or (b) above, an “Early Purchase”). VRT has the right to acquire Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units in connection with an Early Purchase for a purchase price generally equal to (i) the amount that Rockpoint would receive upon the sale of the assets of VRLP for fair market value and a distribution of the net sale proceeds in accordance with (A) the capital event distribution priorities discussed above (in the case of certain Rockpoint Preferred Holders) and (B) the distribution priorities applicable in the case of a liquidation of VRLP (in the case of the other Rockpoint Preferred Holder), plus (ii) a make whole premium (such purchase price, the “Purchase Payment”). The make whole premium is an amount equal to (i) $173.5 million until December 28, 2020, or $198.5 million thereafter, less distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint with respect to its Preferred Base Return or any deficiency therein, plus (ii) $1.5 million less certain other distributions theretofore made to Rockpoint.

The fair market value of VRLP’s assets is determined by a third party appraisal of the net asset value (“NAV”) of VRLP and the fair market value of VRLP’s assets, to be completed within ninety (90) calendar days of March 1, 2023 and annually thereafter.

After the Lockout Period, either VRT may acquire from Rockpoint, or Rockpoint may sell to VRT, all, but not less than all, of Rockpoint’s interest in the Preferred Units (each, a “Put/Call Event”) for a purchase price equal to the Purchase Payment (determined without regard to the make whole premium and any related tax allocations). An acquisition of Rockpoint’s

Table of content s

interest in the Preferred Units pursuant to a Put/Call Event is generally required to be structured as a purchase of the common equity in the applicable Rockpoint entities holding direct or indirect interests in the Preferred Units. Subject to certain exceptions, Rockpoint also has a right of first offer and a participation right with respect to other common equity interests of VRLP or any subsidiary of VRLP that may be offered for sale by VRLP or its subsidiaries from time to time. Upon a Put/Call Event, other than in the event of a sale of VRLP, Rockpoint may elect to convert all, but not less than all, of its Preferred Units to Common Units in VRLP.

As such, the Preferred Units contain a substantive redemption feature that is outside of the Company’s control and accordingly, pursuant to ASC 480-1—S99-3A, the Preferred Units are classified in mezzanine equity measured based on the estimated future redemption value as of June 30, 2022. The Company determines the redemption value of these interests by hypothetically liquidating the estimated NAV of the VRT real estate portfolio including debt principal through the applicable waterfall provisions of the new transaction with Rockpoint. The estimation of NAV includes unobservable inputs that consider assumptions of market participants in pricing the underlying assets of VRLP. For properties under development, the Company applies a discount rate to the estimated future cash flows allocable to the Company during the period under construction and then applies a direct capitalization method to the estimated stabilized cash flows. For operating properties, the direct capitalization method is used by applying a capitalization rate to the projected net operating income. For developable land holdings, an estimated per-unit market value assumption is considered based on development rights or plans for the land. Estimated future cash flows used in such analyses are based on the Company’s business plan for each respective property including capital expenditures, management’s views of market and economic conditions, and considers items such as current and future rental rates, occupancies and market transactions for comparable properties. The estimated future redemption value of the Preferred Units is approximately $484.4 million as of June 30, 2022.

Preferred Units

On February 3, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued 42,800 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A Units”). The Series A Units were issued to the Company’s partners in the Plaza VIII & IX Associates L.L.C. joint venture that owns a development site adjacent to the Company’s Harborside property in Jersey City, New Jersey as non-cash consideration for their approximate 37.5 percent interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A Unit has a stated value of $1,000, pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate of 3.5 percent (subject to increase under certain circumstances), is convertible into 28.15 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 1,204,820 common units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.52 per common unit. The Series A Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the common units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 12,000 Series A Units were redeemed for cash at the stated value.

On February 28, 2017, the Operating Partnership authorized the issuance of 9,213 shares of a new class of 3.5 percent Series A-1 Preferred Limited Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Series A-1 Units”). 9,122 Series A-1 Units were issued on February 28, 2017 and an additional 91 Series A-1 Units were issued in April 2017 pursuant to acquiring additional interests in a joint venture that owns Monaco Towers in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Series A-1 Units were issued as non-cash consideration for the partner’s approximate 13.8 percent ownership interest in the joint venture.

Each Series A-1 Unit has a stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), pays dividends quarterly at an annual rate equal to the greater of (x) 3.50 percent, or (y) the then-effective annual dividend yield on the General Partner’s common stock, and is convertible into 27.936 common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership beginning generally five years from the date of issuance, or an aggregate of up to 257,375 Common Units. The conversion rate was based on a value of $35.80 per common unit. The Series A-1 Units have a liquidation and dividend preference senior to the Common Units and include customary anti-dilution protections for stock splits and similar events. The Series A-1 Units are redeemable for cash at their stated value beginning five years from the date of issuance at the option of the holder. The Series A-1 Units are pari passu with the 3.5% Series A Units issued on February 3, 2017.

15. VERIS RESIDENTIAL, INC. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND VERIS RESIDENTIAL, L.P.’S PARTNERS’ CAPITAL

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50 percent in value of the outstanding shares of the General Partner may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of any taxable year of the General Partner, other than its initial taxable year (defined to include certain entities), applying certain constructive ownership rules. To help ensure that the General Partner will not fail this test, the General Partner’s Charter provides, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of common stock to prevent further concentration of stock ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these requirements, the General Partner must maintain records that disclose the actual ownership of its outstanding common stock and demands written statements each year from the holders of record of designated percentages of its common stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

Partners’ Capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to (a) General Partners’ capital consisting of common units in the Operating Partnership held by the General Partner, and (b) Limited Partners’ capital consisting of common units and LTIP units held by the limited partners. See Note 16: Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries.

The following table reflects the activity of the General Partner capital for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Any transactions resulting in the issuance of additional common and preferred stock of the General Partner result in a corresponding issuance by the Operating Partnership of an equivalent amount of common and preferred units to the General Partner.

ATM PROGRAM

On December 13, 2021, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC, Capital One Securities, Inc., Comerica Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, R. Seelaus & Co., LLC and Samuel A. Ramirez & Company, Inc., as sales agents. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having a combined aggregate offering price of up to $200 million. The Company will pay a commission that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2% of the gross proceeds of all shares sold through the ATM Program. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not sold any shares pursuant to the ATM Program.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The General Partner has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for the approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

In May 2013, the General Partner established the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”) under which a total of 4,600,000 shares has been reserved for issuance. In June 2021, stockholders of the Company approved amendments to the 2013 Plan to increase the total shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 4,600,000 to 6,565,000 shares.

Stock Options

In addition to stock options issued in June 2021 under the 2013 Plan, in March 2021, the General Partner granted 950,000 stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of $15.79 per share to the Chief Executive Officer as an employment “inducement award” that is intended to comply with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08. In April 2022, the General Partner granted 250,000 stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of $16.33 per share to the Chief Investment Officer as an employment “inducement award” that is intended to comply with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08.

There were no stock options that were exercised under any stock option plans for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy stock option exercises.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the stock options outstanding had a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 5.1 and 5.5 years, respectively.

The Company recognized stock options expense of $309 thousand and $224 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $562 thousand and $338 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Appreciation-Only LTIP Units

In June 2019, the Company granted 625,000 Appreciation-Only LTIP Units (“AO LTIP Units”) which are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profits interests” for federal income tax purposes. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into common units of limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”). The AO LTIP Units allow the former executive to earn zero to 100% of the AO LTIP Units granted on a graduated basis of 250,000, 250,000 and 125,000 AO

Table of content s

LTIP Units if the fair market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds the threshold levels of $25.00, $28.00 and $31.00 for 30 consecutive days prior to March 13, 2023.

Upon conversion of AO LTIP Units to Common Units, a special cash distribution will be granted equal to 10% (or such other percentage specified in the applicable award agreement) of the distributions received by a holder of an equivalent number of Common Units during the period from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units through the date of conversion in respect of each such AO LTIP Unit, on a per unit basis.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested AO LTIP Units granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 0.7 years. The Company recognized AO LTIP unit expense of $156 thousand and $155 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and $311 thousand and $310 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Time-based Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

The Company has issued restricted stock units and common stock (“Restricted Stock Awards”) to officers, certain other employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner, which allow the holders to each receive a certain amount of shares of the General Partner’s common stock generally over a one-year to three-year vesting period. On June 15, 2022, the Company issued Restricted Stock Awards to non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner which vest within one year, of which 49,784 unvested Restricted Stock Awards were outstanding at June 30, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, the Company granted restricted stock units to certain non executive employees of the Company which will vest after three years, of which 309,762 were still outstanding as of June 30, 2022. Restricted Stock Awards allow holders to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. Vesting of the Restricted Stock Awards issued is based on time and service. All currently outstanding and unvested Restricted Stock Awards provided to the officers, certain other employees, and members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner were issued under the 2013 Plan and as inducement awards.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

The Company has granted long-term incentive plans awards (“LTIP Awards”) to senior management of the Company, including the General Partner’s executive officers. LTIP Awards generally are granted in the form of LTIP Units, except for awards granted in 2021 and 2022 which were in the form of restricted stock units (each, an “RSU” and collectively, the “RSU LTIP Awards”) and constitute awards under the 2013 Plan. LTIP Awards are typically issued from the Company’s Outperformance Plan adopted by the General Partner’s Board of Directors.

For LTIP Awards granted in 2019, approximately 25 percent to 100 percent of the grant date fair value of the LTIP Awards were in the form of time-based awards that vest after three years and the remaining portion of the grant date fair value of the 2019 LTIP Awards and all of the 2020 LTIP Awards consist of multi-year, market-based awards. Participants of performance-based awards will only earn the full awards if, over the three year performance period, the Company achieves a 36 percent absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) and if the Company’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the office REITs in the NAREIT index for awards granted in 2019 and as compared to the REITs in the NAREIT index for awards granted in 2020. The performance period for the 2019 performance-based awards ended in 2022 and the awards were forfeited as they did not vest.

In January 2021, the Company granted LTIP Units (the “J Series 2021 LTIP Awards”) under the 2013 Plan. The J Series 2021 LTIP Awards are subject to the achievement of certain sales performance milestones with respect to commercial asset dispositions by the Company over a performance period from August 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. These sales milestones will be based on the aggregate gross sales prices of the assets, provided that the asset will only be included in the milestone if it is sold for not less than 85 percent of its estimated net asset value, as defined in the agreement. These awards were granted to one executive who was terminated in the first quarter of 2022, and as a result of the termination, the

Company has determined that these awards were fully earned based on the achievement of the maximum sales milestones and vested as of the termination date which is April 1, 2022.

In April 2021, the Company granted LTIP Awards in the form of RSUs. Each RSU entitles the holder to one share of the General Partner’s common stock upon settlement. Approximately 292,000 of the RSUs are subject to time-based vesting conditions and will vest in three equal, annual installments over a three year period ending in April 2024, of which 55,825 of the RSUs vested in April 2022. Approximately 453,000 of the RSUs are subject to market-based vesting conditions Recipients will only earn the full amount of the market-based RSUs if, over the three year performance period, the General Partner achieves a 36 percent absolute TSR and if the General Partner’s TSR is in the 75th percentile of performance as compared to a group of 24 peer REITs.

Up to an additional approximately 292,000 RSUs were granted subject to the achievement of adjusted funds from operations of $0.60 per share in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The 2021 RSU LTIP Awards are designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period.

In March and April 2022, the Company also granted LTIP Awards in the form of restricted stock units (each, an “RSU”). Each RSU entitles the holder to one share of the General Partner’s common stock upon settlement. Approximately 209,000 of the RSUs are subject to time-based vesting conditions and will vest in three equal, annual installments over a three year period ending in March and April 2025. Approximately 226,000 of the RSUs are subject to market-based vesting conditions Recipients will only earn the target amount of the market-based RSUs if, over the three year performance period, the General Partner achieves a NaN percent absolute TSR and if the General Partner’s TSR is in the 55th percentile of performance as compared to a group of 23 peer REITs. Recipients can earn up to 160 percent of the target amount of market-based RSUs if, over the three year performance period, the General Partner achieves a 33 percent absolute TSR and if the General Partner’s TSR is at least equal to the 75th percentile of performance as compared to the same group.

Up to an additional approximately 209,000 RSUs were granted subject to the achievement of adjusted funds from operations ranging from $0.40 to $0.60 per share in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The 2022 RSU LTIP Awards are designed to align the interests of senior management to relative and absolute performance of the Company over a three year performance period. In April 2022, the General Partner granted approximately 60,000 RSUs subject to time-vesting conditions, vesting over three years, to three executive officers as “inducement awards” intended to comply with New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.08.

LTIP Awards are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent that awards vest. The number of market-based and performance-based LTIP Units that actually vest for each award recipient will be determined at the end of the related measurement period.

Prior to vesting, recipients of LTIP Units will generally be entitled to receive per unit distributions equal to one-tenth of the regular quarterly distributions payable on a common share but will not be entitled to receive any special distributions. Distributions with respect to the other nine-tenths of regular quarterly distributions payable on a common unit will accrue but shall only become payable upon vesting of the LTIP Unit.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested LTIP awards granted under the Company’s stock compensation plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Deferred Stock Compensation Plan For Directors

The Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, which commenced January 1, 1999, allows non-employee directors of the Company to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their annual retainer fee into deferred stock units. The deferred stock units are convertible into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the directors’ termination of service from the Board of Directors or a change in control of the Company, as defined in the plan. Deferred stock units are credited to each director quarterly using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable dividend record date for the respective quarter. Each participating director’s account is also credited for an equivalent amount of deferred stock units based on the dividend rate for each quarter.

Table of content s

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 8,234 and 3,798 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 14,417 and 8,381 deferred stock units were earned, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 48,355 and 37,603 deferred stock units outstanding, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE/UNIT

Basic EPS or EPU excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or unitholders by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS or EPU reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and EPU, a redemption value adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests attributable to common shareholders or unitholders is included in the calculation to arrive at the numerator of net income (loss) available to common shareholders or unitholders.

The following information presents the Company’s results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, on the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary, changes in a parent’s ownership interest (and transactions with noncontrolling interests unitholders in the subsidiary) while the parent retains its controlling interest in its subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interests shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its

ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent. Accordingly, as a result of equity transactions which caused changes in ownership percentages between Veris Residential, Inc. stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company has decreased noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and decreased additional paid-in capital in Veris Residential, Inc. stockholders’ equity by approximately $2.6 million as of June 30, 2022.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP (applicable only to General Partner)

Common Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company redeemed for cash 108,416 common units at their fair value of $1.8 million.

Certain individuals and entities own common units in the Operating Partnership. A common unit and a share of Common Stock of the General Partner have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Common unitholders have the right to redeem their common units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in shares of Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof, calculated as follows: 1 share of the General Partner’s Common Stock, or cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the General Partner’s Common Stock at the time of redemption, for each common unit. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, determines the form of redemption of common units (i.e., whether a common unitholder receives Common Stock, cash, or any combination thereof). If the General Partner elects to satisfy the redemption with shares of Common Stock as opposed to cash, it is obligated to issue shares of its Common Stock to the redeeming unitholder. Regardless of the rights described above, the common unitholders may not put their units for cash to the General Partner or the Operating Partnership under any circumstances. When a unitholder redeems a common unit, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reduced and Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ equity is increased.

LTIP Units

From time to time, the Company has granted LTIP awards to executive officers of the Company. All of the LTIP Awards granted through January 2021 are in the form of units in the Operating Partnership. See Note 15: Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ Equity and Veris Residential, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards.

LTIP Units are designed to qualify as “profits interests” in the Operating Partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a general matter, the profits interests characteristics of the LTIP Units mean that initially they will not be economically equivalent in value to a common unit. If and when events specified by applicable tax regulations occur, LTIP Units can over time increase in value up to the point where they are equivalent to common units on a one-for-one basis. After LTIP Units are fully vested, and to the extent the special tax rules applicable to profits interests have allowed them to become equivalent in value to common units, LTIP Units may be converted on a one-for-one basis into common units. Common units in turn have a one-for-one relationship in value with shares of the General Partner’s common stock, and are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for cash or, at the election of the Company, shares of the General Partner’s common stock.

AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units)

On March 13, 2019, the Company granted 625,000 AO LTIP Units pursuant to the AO Long Term Incentive Plan Award Agreement. See Note 15: Veris Residential, Inc. Stockholders’ Equity and Veris Residential, L.P.’s Partners’ Capital – AO LTIP Units (Appreciation-Only LTIP Units).

AO LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership that are intended to qualify as “profit interests” for federal income tax purposes and generally only allow the recipient to realize value to the extent the fair market value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the threshold level set at the time the AO LTIP Units are granted, subject to any vesting conditions applicable to the award. The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion of the AO LTIP Units into Common Units. The number of Common Units into which vested AO LTIP Units may be converted is determined based on the quotient of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date over the threshold level designated at the time the AO LTIP Unit was granted, divided by (ii) the fair

Table of content s

market value of the Common Stock on the conversion date. AO LTIP Units, once vested, have a finite term during which they may be converted into Common Units, not in excess of ten years from the grant date of the AO LTIP Units.

Noncontrolling Interests Ownership in Operating Partnership

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the noncontrolling interests common unitholders owned 9.3 percent and 9.0 percent of the Operating Partnership, respectively.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES (applicable to General Partner and Operating Partnership)

The Company consolidates certain joint ventures in which it has ownership interests. Various entities and/or individuals hold noncontrolling interests in these ventures.

PARTICIPATION RIGHTS

The Company’s interests in a potential future development provides for the initial distributions of net cash flow solely to the Company, and thereafter, other parties have participation rights in 50 percent of the excess net cash flow remaining after the distribution to the Company of the aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (a) the Company’s capital contributions, plus (b) an IRR of 10 percent per annum.

17. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in 2 business segments: (i) multifamily real estate and services and (ii) commercial and other real estate. The Company provides property management, leasing, acquisition, development, construction and tenant-related services for its commercial and other real estate and multifamily real estate portfolio. The Company’s multifamily services business also provides similar services for third parties. The Company had no revenues from foreign countries recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company had no long lived assets in foreign locations as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies, excluding depreciation and amortization.

The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income from the combined properties and operations in each of its real estate segments (commercial and other real estate and multifamily real estate and services). All properties classified as discontinued operations have been excluded.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Veris Residential, Inc. and Veris Residential, L.P. and the notes thereto (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). Certain defined terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Financial Statements.

Executive Overview

Veris Residential, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “General Partner”), including Veris Residential, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), has been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate development, management and ownership for over 60 years and the General Partner has been a publicly traded REIT since 1994.

The Operating Partnership conducts the business of providing management, leasing, acquisition, development and tenant-related services for its General Partner. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries, including the Veris property-owning partnerships and limited liability companies, is the entity through which all of the General Partner’s operations are conducted. Unless stated otherwise or the context requires, the “Company” refers to the General Partner and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company owns or has interests in 36 properties (collectively, the “Properties”) and developable land. These Properties are comprised of 23 multifamily rental properties containing 7,441 apartment units as well as non-core assets comprised of six office properties, four parking/retail properties and three hotels. The Properties are located in three states in the Northeast, plus the District of Columbia.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary, if any. See Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies – to the Financial Statements, for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated joint venture interests. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIEs. Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance: and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform with current period presentation, primarily related to classification of certain properties as discontinued operations. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Revenue from leases for the Same-Store Properties increased $3.5 million, or 5.2 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to an increase in occupancy, market rental rates and a reduction in concessions of the multifamily rental properties, partially offset by a reduction in occupancy of the office properties in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Parking income. Parking income for the Same-Store Properties increased $1.2 million, or 34.9 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021 due primarily to increased usage at the parking garages in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Other income. Other income for the Same-Store Properties decreased $2.5 million, or 71.5 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to the recognition in 2021 of a forfeited deposit on a dead deal and post sales items received in 2021 as compared to 2022.

Operating services. Operating services for the Same-Store Properties increased $0.1 million or 0.4 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to an increase in insurance and marketing expenses of $1.3 million in 2022 as compared to 2021, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and related expenses and repairs and maintenance costs of $1.2 million in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Real estate services revenue. Real estate services revenue (primarily reimbursement of property personnel costs) decreased $1.7 million, or 65.4 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to decreased third party development and management activity in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Real estate services expense. Real estate services expense decreased $0.3 million, or 9.1 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to lower salaries and related expenses from a reduction in third-party services activities in 2022 as compared to 2021.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $6.5 million, or 35.9 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021. This decrease was due primarily to $6.1 million in severance and related costs in 2021 as compared to 2022.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.8 million, or 2.7 percent, for 2022 over 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $2.3 million for properties sold or removed from service and lower depreciation of fully amortized assets of $2.2 million for Same-Store Properties for 2022 as compared to 2021. These were partially offset by an increase of approximately $3.7 million for 2022 as compared to 2021 in the Acquired Properties.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 7.0 percent, for 2022 as compared to 2021. The increase is primarily related to the construction loan interest on the newly placed in service property, Haus25, this is partially offset by lower average debt balances in 2022 as compared to 2021, due to the Company’s redemption of its Senior Unsecured Notes in 2021.

Interest and other investment income (loss). Interest and other investment income (loss) was relatively unchanged for 2022 as compared to 2021.

Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures increased $2.3 million for 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to higher revenues resulting from lower concessions, higher occupancy, and higher market rents at various multifamily ventures in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Gain on disposition of developable land. In 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $55.1 million on the sale of developable land located in West Windsor, New Jersey. In 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $0.1 million on the sale of land holdings located in Hamilton, New Jersey.

Gain (loss) from extinguishment of debt, net.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Overview

Rental revenue is the Company’s principal source of funds to pay its material cash commitments consisting of operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and dividends, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures. To the extent that the Company’s cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to finance its non-recurring capital expenditures such as property acquisitions, development and construction costs and other capital expenditures, the Company has and expects to continue to finance such activities through borrowings under its revolving credit facility, other debt and equity financings, proceeds from the sale of properties and joint venture capital.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its working capital, which may include proceeds from the sales of rental properties and land, net cash provided by operating activities and draws from its revolving credit facility.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact in the U.S. and around the globe. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, many of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact. If the outbreak continues, there may be continued negative economic impacts, market volatility, and business disruption which could negatively impact the Company’s tenants’ ability to pay rent, the Company’s ability to lease vacant space, the Company’s ability to complete development and redevelopment projects and the Company’s ability to dispose of assets held for sale and these consequences, in turn, could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

REIT Restrictions

To maintain its qualification as a REIT under the IRS Code, the General Partner must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains. However, any such distributions, whether for federal income tax purposes or otherwise, would be paid out of available cash, including borrowings and other sources, after meeting operating requirements, preferred stock dividends and distributions, and scheduled debt service on the Company’s debt. If and to the extent the Company retains and does not distribute any net capital gains, the General Partner will be required to pay federal, state and local taxes on such net capital gains at the rate applicable to capital gains of a corporation.

Property Lock-Ups

Certain Company properties acquired by contribution from unrelated common unitholders of the Operating Partnership were subject to restrictions on disposition, except in a manner which did not result in recognition of built-in-gain allocable to such unitholders or which reimbursed the unitholders for the tax consequences thereof (collectively, the “Property Lock-

Table of Contents

Ups”). While these Property Lock-Ups have expired, the Company is generally required to use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any disposition of the subject properties from resulting in the recognition of built-in gain to these unitholders, which include members of the Mack Group (which includes William L. Mack, a former director and David S. Mack, a former director). As of June 30, 2022, taking into account tax-free exchanges on the originally contributed properties, either wholly or partially, over time, five of the Company’s properties, as well as certain land and development projects, with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.0 billion, are subject to these conditions.

Unencumbered Properties

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had one unencumbered property with a carrying value of $17.0 million representing 3.7 percent of the Company’s total consolidated property count.

Cash Flows

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $2.0 million to $53.4 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $51.5 million at December 31, 2021. This increase is comprised of the following net cash flow items:

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

On May 6, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (“2021 Credit Agreement”) with a group of seven lenders that provides for a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”) and a $150 million senior secured term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan”), and delivered written notice to the administrative agents to terminate the 2017 credit agreement, which termination became effective May 13, 2021.

The terms of the 2021 Credit Facility include: (1) a three-year term ending in May 2024; (2) revolving credit loans may be made to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250 million (subject to increase as discussed below), with a sublimit under the 2021 Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50 million; and (3) a first priority lien in unencumbered properties of the Company with an appraised value greater than or equal to $800 million which must include the Company’s Harborside 2/3 and Harborside 5 properties; and (4) a facility fee payable quarterly equal to 35 basis points if usage of the 2021 Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%, and 25 basis points if usage of the 2021 Credit Facility is greater than 50%.

Table of Contents

The 2021 Credit Agreement, which applies to both the 2021 Credit Facility and 2021 Term Loan, includes certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the incurrence of liens and the disposition of real estate properties, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the minimum collateral pool value ($800 million), maximum collateral pool leverage ratio (40 percent), minimum number of collateral pool properties (two), the maximum total leverage ratio (65 percent), the minimum debt service coverage ratio (1.10 times until May 6, 2022, 1.20 times from May 7, 2022 through May 6, 2023, and 1.40 times thereafter), and the minimum tangible net worth ratio (80% of tangible net worth as of December 31, 2020 plus 80% of net cash proceeds of equity issuances by the General Partner or the Operating Partnership).

On May 6, 2021, the Company drew the full $150 million available under the 2021 Term Loan and borrowed $145 million from the 2021 Credit Facility to retire the Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes. In June 2021, the Company paid down a total of $123 million of borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan, using sales proceeds from several of the Company’s suburban office property dispositions. On July 27, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the 2021 Term Loan of $27 million, using proceeds from the disposition of a suburban office property previously held for sale.

Mortgages, Loans Payable and Other Obligations

The Company has other mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Company’s rental properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.

The Company does not intend to reserve funds to retire the Company’s outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility or its mortgages, loans payable and other obligations upon maturity. Instead, the Company will seek to retire such debt primarily with available proceeds to be received from the Company’s planned sales of its assets, as well as obtaining additional mortgage financings on or before the applicable maturity dates. If it cannot raise sufficient proceeds to retire the maturing debt, the Company may draw on its revolving credit facility to retire the maturing indebtedness, which would reduce the future availability of funds under such facility. As of August 1, 2022, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $114 million under its revolving credit facility. The Company is reviewing various financing and refinancing options, including the issuance of additional, or exchange of current, unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership or common and preferred stock of the General Partner, and/or obtaining additional mortgage debt of the Operating Partnership, some or all of which may be completed in 2022. The Company currently anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of real estate assets and joint ventures investments, together with cash available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company’s capital and liquidity needs in the short term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, due to current economic conditions or otherwise, or if capital needs to fund acquisition and development opportunities in the multifamily rental sector arise, the Company’s ability to make the expected distributions discussed in “REIT Restrictions” above may be adversely affected.

Equity Financing and Registration Statements

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRIP”) which commenced in March 1999 under which approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock have been reserved for future issuance. The DRIP provides for automatic reinvestment of all or a portion of a participant’s dividends from the General Partner’s shares of common stock. The DRIP also permits participants to make optional cash investments up to $5,000 a month without restriction and, if the Company waives this limit, for additional amounts subject to certain restrictions and other conditions set forth in the DRIP prospectus filed as part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the approximately 5.5 million shares of the General Partner’s common stock reserved for issuance under the DRIP.

Shelf Registration Statements

The General Partner has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, and/or warrants of the General Partner, under which $200 million of shares of common stock have been allocated for sales pursuant to the Company’s ATM Program commenced in December 2021 and no securities have been sold as of August 1, 2022.

The General Partner and the Operating Partnership also have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC for an aggregate amount of $2.5 billion in common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and guarantees of the General Partner and debt securities of the Operating Partnership, under which no securities have been sold as of August 1, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Joint Venture Debt

The debt of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures generally provides for recourse to the Company for customary matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions and material misrepresentations. The Company has agreed to guarantee repayment of a portion of the debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of such debt, totaled $189.8 million of which $22 million was guaranteed by the Company.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are further discussed in Note 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures to the Financial Statements.

Funds from Operations

Funds from operations (“FFO”) (available to common stock and unit holders) is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests in Operating Partnership, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from depreciable rental property transactions (including both acquisitions and dispositions), and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that as FFO excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from property transactions and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).

As the Company considers its primary earnings measure, net income available to common shareholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO, the following table presents a reconciliation of net income

available to common shareholders to FFO, as calculated in accordance with NAREIT’s current definition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

We consider portions of this information, including the documents incorporated by reference, to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of such act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “potential,” “projected,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “continue” or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

In addition, the extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts us and our tenants and residents will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect

economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the risk factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Among the factors about which we have made assumptions are:

•risks and uncertainties affecting the general economic climate and conditions, which in turn may have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business and the financial condition of our tenants and residents;

•the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;

•the extent of any tenant bankruptcies or of any early lease terminations;

•our ability to lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents;

•changes in the supply of and demand for our properties;

•changes in interest rate levels and volatility in the securities markets;

•our ability to complete construction and development activities on time and within budget, including without limitation obtaining regulatory permits and the availability and cost of materials, labor and equipment;

•our ability to attract, hire and retain qualified personnel;

•forward-looking financial and operational information, including information relating to future development projects, potential acquisitions or dispositions, leasing activities, capitalization rates, and projected revenue and income;

•changes in operating costs;

•our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for natural disasters and terrorist acts;

•our credit worthiness and the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt and our future interest expense;

•changes in governmental regulation, tax rates and similar matters; and

•other risks associated with the development and acquisition of properties, including risks that the development may not be completed on schedule, that the tenants or residents will not take occupancy or pay rent, or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated.

For further information on factors which could impact us and the statements contained herein, see Item 1A: Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We assume no obligation to update and supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events, new information or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

Approximately $1.5 billion of the Company’s long-term debt as of June 30, 2022 bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt. The interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt as of June 30, 2022 ranged from LIBOR plus 158 basis points to LIBOR plus 340 basis points. Assuming interest-rate swaps and caps are not in effect, if market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Company’s variable rate debt would be approximately $7.0 million annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2022 would be approximately $56.8 million.

(a)Adjustment for unamortized debt discount/premium, net, unamortized deferred financing costs, net, and unamortized mark-to-market, net as of June 30, 2022.

While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, tenant vacancies or defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company which could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity, including its ability to pay its debt obligations.
