7. Significant Tenants

Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) accounted for revenue of $78,567,000 and $70,702,000, representing approximately 46% and 45% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to be unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In order to assist us in our continuing assessment of Bloomberg’s creditworthiness, we receive certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from other private sources, as well as publicly available data.

In October 2014, Bloomberg exercised its option to extend leases that were scheduled to expire in December 2015 for a term of five years covering 192,000 square feet of office space at our 731 Lexington Avenue property. In January 2016, we entered into a lease amendment with Bloomberg which extends the lease term related to this space to be coterminous with the other 697,000 square feet of office space leased by Bloomberg through February 2029, with a ten-year extension option. In connection with the lease amendment, Bloomberg provided a $200,000,000 letter of credit, which amount may be reduced in certain circumstances. We may draw on this letter of credit subject to certain terms of the lease amendment, including an event of default by Bloomberg. Upon execution of the lease amendment in January 2016, we paid an $8,916,000 leasing commission of which $7,200,000 was to a third party broker and $1,716,000 was to Vornado.
