        <footnote id="F1">Represents LTIP Units issued pursuant to the Issuer's equity based compensatory programs. Conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, each vested LTIP Unit may be converted, at the election of the holder, into a Class A Unit of limited partnership interest in SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. (a &quot;Common Unit&quot;). Each Common Unit acquired upon conversion of an LTIP Unit may be presented for redemption, at the election of the holder, for cash equal to the then fair market value of a share of the Issuer's Common Stock, except that the Issuer may, at its election, acquire each Common Unit so presented for one share of Common Stock. The redemption right generally cannot be exercised until two years from the date of the grant. The rights to convert LTIP Units into Common Units and redeem Common Units do not have expiration dates.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Each LTIP Unit and Common Unit acquired upon conversion of such LTIP Unit is subject to an additional three-year no-sell provision pursuant to which such LTIP Unit and Common Unit generally may not be transferred, and the redemption right associated with the Common Unit may not be exercised, until the earlier of (i) three years after the grant date, (ii) termination of the reporting person's employment or (iii) a change in control of the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Reflects the forfeiture of 878 LTIP Units originally issued in January 2020 that were previously reported as earned based on the achievement of operational performance metrics for the year ended December 31, 2020, and which remained subject to additional performance-based vesting hurdles based on the Issuer's total shareholder return for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Represents LTIP Units originally issued in January 2022 that were subject to performance-based vesting hurdles based on achievement of operational performance metrics for the year ended December 31, 2022, and which remain subject to additional performance-based vesting hurdles based on the Issuer's total shareholder return for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024 (the &quot;TSR Performance Period&quot;). On January 30, 2023, the compensation committee of the Issuer determined the level of achievement of the operational performance-based vesting hurdles for these LTIP Units, resulting in 5,318 LTIP Units initially being earned, which amount will be adjusted upwards or downwards by up to 12.5% at the conclusion of the TSR Performance Period based on the Issuer's total shareholder return. The number of LTIP Units reported represents the maximum number of LTIP Units that may be earned based on the Issuer's total shareholder return during the TSR Performance Period.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">Earned LTIP Units will vest in equal installments on each of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, subject to continued employment. Each LTIP Unit and Common Unit acquired upon conversion of such LTIP Unit is subject to an additional one-year no-sell provision pursuant to which such LTIP Unit and Common Unit generally may not be transferred, and the redemption right associated with the Common Unit may not be exercised, until the earlier of (i) one year after the vesting date, (ii) termination of the reporting person's employment or (iii) a change in control of the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F6">Represents LTIP Units originally issued in January 2020 that were earned based on the Issuer's total stockholder return during the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, relative to a group of New York City-centric publicly traded real estate investment trusts. The LTIP Units vested 50% on December 31, 2022 and the remaining 50% will vest on December 31, 2023, subject to continued employment. Each LTIP Unit and Common Unit acquired upon conversion of such LTIP Unit is subject to an additional one-year no-sell provision pursuant to which such LTIP Unit and Common Unit generally may not be transferred, and the redemption right associated with the Common Unit may not be exercised, until the earlier of (i) one year after the vesting date, (ii) termination of the reporting person's employment or (iii) a change in control of the Issuer.</footnote>
