CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. is committed to maintaining sound corporate governance principles. The Board of Directors has approved formal Corporate Governance Guidelines that address the qualifications and responsibilities of directors, director independence, committee structure and responsibilities, and interactions with management, among other matters. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Company’s website at http://www.ubproperties.com. Together with the bylaws of the Company and the charters of the Board’s committees, the Corporate Governance Guidelines provide the framework for the governance of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

For many years, the Company combined the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and, for more than twenty years, both positions were held by Charles J. Urstadt. Effective July 1, 2013, as part of the board’s succession planning strategy, the directors split these positions and elected Willing L. Biddle as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Biddle previously served as President and Chief Operating Officer for seventeen years. Mr. Urstadt continues to serve as an executive officer of the Company with the title of Chairman, and as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer has overall responsibility for guiding the executive management team. The Chairman has responsibility for conducting all board meetings and is the final authority on the agenda for all board meetings. Currently, the Company does not have a separate lead director position. All of the independent directors serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board believes that this provides an appropriate balance to the leadership structure.

Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors retains responsibility for, and is actively involved in, the oversight and management of risks that could impact the Company. The Board committees that are more particularly described on the following pages have primary responsibility for managing risk within each committee’s area of discipline. The Audit Committee regularly reviews and discusses the Company’s policies and procedures with respect to risk assessment generally and specifically financial risk exposures, including risks associated with liquidity, interest rates, credit, operations and other matters. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s policies concerning executive compensation and compensation generally. Each committee reports regularly to the Board to facilitate the Board’s risk oversight. The Board also receives reports directly from senior officers who may be involved on a more regular basis with specific risk issues.

Board Independence

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines include specific Director Independence Standards that comply with applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Board requires that at least a majority of its directors satisfy this definition of independence. The Board of Directors has considered business and other relationships between the Company and each of its directors, including information provided to the Company by the directors. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors determined that all of its directors, other than Mrs. Catherine U. Biddle and Messrs. Willing L. Biddle, Charles J. Urstadt and Charles D. Urstadt, are independent, consistent with the Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Committees of the Board of Directors and Certain Meetings

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the Board of Directors held five meetings. The Board of Directors has four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and an Executive Committee. Without exception, each director attended

every meeting held during the fiscal year by the Board of Directors and by all committees of which such director is a member.

The Audit Committee consists of three non-employee directors, each of whom is independent as defined in the listing standards (as amended from time to time) of the New York Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee held five meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Committee’s primary duties are to:

•

monitor the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls over financial reporting;

•

monitor the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the foregoing;

•

monitor the independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditor and internal auditing function;

•

provide an avenue of communication among the Board, the independent auditor, management and persons responsible for the internal audit function; and

•

prepare the annual disclosures required of the Committee by Item 407 of Regulation S-K.

The Board of Directors has approved a written charter for the Audit Committee, the text of which may be viewed on the Company’s website at http://www.ubproperties.com. The Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint, retain, oversee and, when appropriate, terminate the independent auditor of the Company. The Committee reviews with management and the independent auditor the Company’s quarterly financial statements and internal accounting procedures and controls, and reviews with the independent auditor the scope and results of the auditing engagement. Messrs. Kevin J. Bannon, Richard Grellier and Robert J. Mueller are the current members of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Robert J. Mueller, Chair of the Committee, meets the standards of an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as that term is defined under Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K.

The Compensation Committee consists of three non-employee directors, each of whom is independent as defined in the listing standards (as amended from time to time) of the New York Stock Exchange. The Compensation Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. Key responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include:

•

reviewing the Company’s overall compensation strategy to ensure that it promotes shareholder interests and supports the Company’s strategic objectives;

•

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives and establishing the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer;

•

reviewing and recommending to the Board compensation for directors and non-CEO executive officers;

•

administering the Company’s Restricted Stock Plan and approving bonus or cash incentive plans used to compensate officers and other employees; and

•

reviewing and discussing with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402 of Regulation S-K and preparing the disclosures required of the Committee by Item 407 of Regulation S-K in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

The Board of Directors has approved a written charter for the Compensation Committee, the text of which may be viewed on the Company’s website at http://www.ubproperties.com. Messrs. E. Virgil Conway (Chair), Robert R. Douglass and George H.C. Lawrence are the current members of the Compensation Committee.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (“Governance Committee”) consists of six non-employee directors, each of whom is independent as defined in the listing standards (as amended from time to time) of the New York Stock Exchange. The Governance Committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. The principal responsibilities of the Governance Committee are to:

•

establish criteria for Board membership and selection of new directors;

•

recommend nominees to stand for election to the Board, including incumbent Board members and candidates for new directors;

•

develop, recommend and periodically review a set of corporate governance principles and evaluate compliance by management and the Board with those principles and the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics;

•

develop and periodically review succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer, with the assistance of the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Board; and

•

oversee an annual evaluation of the performance of the Board of Directors and each of its chartered committees.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines include the Director Candidate Guidelines recommended by the Governance Committee and approved by the Board of Directors, which set forth the minimum qualifications and additional considerations that the Governance Committee uses in evaluating candidates for election to the Board. The Director Candidate Guidelines include the following minimum qualifications:

•

a candidate’s demonstrated integrity and ethics consistent with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics;

•

a candidate’s willingness and ability to participate fully in Board activities, including active membership and attendance at Board meetings and, subject to the independence criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and applicable rules of the SEC, participation on at least one committee of the Board; and

•

a candidate’s willingness to represent the best interests of all of the Company’s shareholders and not just a particular constituency.

The Board has not adopted a numerical limit on the number of corporate boards on which its directors may serve; however, the Committee will consider the demands on a candidate’s time in selecting nominees. In addition, the Committee will take into consideration such other factors as it deems appropriate, including:

•

a candidate’s experience in real estate, business, finance, accounting rules and practices, law and public relations;

•

the appropriate size and diversity of the Company’s Board of Directors;

•

the needs of the Company with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors and the interplay of the candidate’s experience with that of other Board members; and

•

a candidate’s management experience, judgment, skill and experience with businesses and organizations comparable to the Company.

In considering diversity in selecting director nominees, the Governance Committee gives weight to the extent to which candidates would increase the effectiveness of the Board by improving the experience, qualifications, key attributes and skills represented by the members of the Board. The Company requires that at least a majority of its directors satisfy the independence criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange and any applicable SEC rules, as they may be amended from time to time. In addition, the Committee will consider the financial literacy and financial background of nominees to ensure that the Board has at least one “audit committee financial expert” on the Audit Committee and that Board members who

might serve on the Audit Committee satisfy the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE. The Committee believes it appropriate for at least one key member of the Company’s management to participate as a member of the Board.

Shareholders can suggest qualified candidates for director by writing to the Company’s corporate secretary at 321 Railroad Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830. Submissions timely received (as described under “Other Matters” on page 33) and which comply with the criteria outlined in the preceding paragraphs, will be forwarded to the Chair of the Governance Committee for review and consideration. The Committee does not intend to evaluate such nominees any differently than other nominees to the Board.

The Board of Directors has approved a written charter for the Governance Committee, the text of which may be viewed on the Company’s website at http://www.ubproperties.com. Messrs. Kevin J. Bannon, E. Virgil Conway, Robert R. Douglass (Chair), Richard Grellier, George H. C. Lawrence and Robert J. Mueller are the current members of the Governance Committee.

All of the independent directors serve on the Governance Committee. The Chair of that Committee presides over all executive sessions of the independent directors. In the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the independent directors of the Company met once in executive session. Mr. Robert R. Douglass, Chair of the Governance Committee, presided over the meeting.

The Executive Committee, consisting of five directors, held three meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. In general, the Executive Committee may exercise such powers of the directors between meetings of the directors as may be delegated to it by the directors (except for certain powers of the directors which may not be delegated). Mrs. Catherine U. Biddle and Messrs. Willing L. Biddle, Robert R. Douglass, Charles D. Urstadt and Charles J. Urstadt are the current members of the Executive Committee.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF THE COMPANY

PKF O’Connor Davies, a division of O’Connor Davies, LLP (“PKF”), provided auditing and other professional services to the Company during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.

The Audit Committee has appointed PKF to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2015 and recommends to the stockholders that such appointment be ratified. Representatives of PKF will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire. Such representatives also will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by properly executed proxy, subject to quorum requirements, will be required to ratify the appointment of PKF as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of PKF, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain PKF as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2015.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
PKF O’CONNOR DAVIES, A DIVISION OF O’CONNOR DAVIES, LLP,
AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF THE COMPANY.

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists of the three non-employee directors listed below. Each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent, as such term is defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (as amended from time to time).

During the last year, the Audit Committee met regularly with, and received periodic updates from, management, PKF, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and Berdon, LLP, which provided internal audit services to assist management in the maintenance of an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee reviewed PKF’s “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K related to its audit of (i) the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and (ii) the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the disclosures made in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. This review included a discussion with the independent registered public accounting firm of the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm according to applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company and its management. The Audit Committee considered whether (and determined that) the provision by PKF of the services described below under “Fees Billed by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” is compatible with PKF’s independence from both management and the Company.

In reliance upon the review and discussions referred to above and the report of PKF, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014, for filing with the SEC.

Among its responsibilities, the Audit Committee has sole authority to retain, set the terms of engagement of, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the independent registered public accounting firm and persons responsible for the Company’s internal audit function. As described in Proposal 2 in this proxy statement, the Audit Committee has appointed PKF to audit the financial statements of the Company for the ensuing fiscal year and recommends to the stockholders that such appointment be ratified. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the Audit Committee also engaged Berdon LLP, certified public accountants and advisors, to provide internal audit services for the Company. The Committee has not yet engaged anyone to provide internal audit services in 2015.

				Audit Committee:

				Robert J. Mueller, Chairman Kevin J. Bannon Richard Grellier

This report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this report by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the Audit Committee approved, prior to engagement, all audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and all fees to be paid for such services. The Audit Committee has pre-approved all audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm related to reviews of the Company’s quarterly financial reports on Form 10-Q and audit of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending October 31, 2015. All other services are considered and approved on an individual basis.

In addition to the fees enumerated above that were paid to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm during the year ended October 31, 2014, the Company incurred fees of approximately $180,000 to Berdon, LLP for internal audit services.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

The Company has a formal procedure to review transactions and relationships in which the Company, its directors, executive officers or their immediate family members, or any 5% or greater shareholder, are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. All transactions involving amounts in excess of $120,000 are considered.

Annually, the Company’s Secretary obtains written statements from each of the directors and officers of the Company to determine if any directors, officers or their immediate family members have a direct or indirect material interest in relationships and transactions in which the Company and any such persons are participants. Responses from the directors and executive officers are forwarded to the Governance Committee for review. Responses from other officers of the Company are reviewed by the Secretary and forwarded to the Governance Committee if related party transactions are indicated.

In reviewing related person transactions, the Committee considers:

•

the material terms of the transaction, including the type and amount of the transaction;

•

the significance of the transaction to the Company and to the related person;

•

whether the transaction would impair the judgment of the director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders; and

•

any other matters that the Committee deems relevant and appropriate.

Any member of the Committee who is a participant (or whose immediate family member is a participant) in a transaction being reviewed or considered may not participate in the Committee’s consideration of such matter.

All transactions that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to a related person are disclosed as required by applicable SEC rules.

As of the date two weeks prior to the date of this proxy statement (the most recent practicable date), the Company was not aware of any related person transactions. Charles J. Urstadt, the Company’s Chairman, is the father of Catherine U. Biddle and Charles D. Urstadt, directors of the Company. Willing L. Biddle, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the husband of Catherine U. Biddle, the son-in-law of Charles J. Urstadt, and the brother-in-law of Charles D. Urstadt.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Following is a discussion of the Company’s compensation program for its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer, being the five most highly compensated executive officers, and the only persons who served as executive officers during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 (collectively, the “named executive officers” or “NEOs”).

Overview of Compensation for the Named Executive Officers

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed entirely of independent directors, has primary responsibility for oversight of the Company’s compensation program. As more fully described under “Corporate Governance and Board Matters” above, the Committee’s responsibilities include reviewing the Company’s overall compensation strategy to ensure that it promotes shareholder interests and supports the Company’s strategic objectives, reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives and establishing compensation for the Chief Executive Officer. With respect to the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers recommendations by the CEO and makes recommendations to the full Board of Directors regarding their compensation.

Objectives of the Urstadt Biddle Properties Executive Compensation Program

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to accomplish the following key objectives:

Attract individuals of top quality who possess the skills and expertise required to lead the Company;

Align compensation with corporate strategy, business objectives and the long-term interests of shareholders;

Create an incentive to increase shareholder value by providing a significant percentage of compensation in the form of equity awards;

Offer the right balance of long-term and short-term compensation and incentives to retain talented employees.

Elements of the Executive Compensation Program

The Company’s executive compensation program consists of five key elements:

Competitive base salaries

Short-term rewards

Long-term incentives

Company provided benefits

Termination benefits in the event of a Change in Control

Base Salaries

Each of the named executive officers receives a base salary which is evaluated annually. The base salary of the Chief Executive Officer is determined by the Compensation Committee. In making recommendations on the salaries of the other NEOs, the Committee relies heavily on input and recommendations from the CEO, believing that, since the Chief Executive has daily interaction with the other NEOs, he is well situated to provide valuable insight regarding the respective contributions of all members of the executive management team. The Committee’s recommendations regarding base salaries for all NEOs are submitted to the Board of Directors for final approval.

Base salaries for the NEOs other than the CEO are intended to be competitive with base salaries of executive positions of comparable responsibility with similarly sized REITs which the Committee believes are representative of the companies against which Urstadt Biddle Properties competes for executive talent. With respect to the CEO and the Chairman, the Company places much greater emphasis on long-term equity incentives tied to the long-term performance of the Company. As described below, the base salaries for the CEO and Chairman may represent less than 25% of total compensation. Following the end of the fiscal year and after considering a number of factors, including compensation data reported by twelve other retail REITs, the Compensation Committee made its determinations and recommendations regarding 2015 annual base compensation for the NEOs. Base salaries for 2015 for Messrs. Biddle, Hayes, Urstadt, Rapaglia and Myers were set at $350,000, $231,000, $225,000, $231,000 and $231,000, respectively.

Short-term Rewards

The Company believes that short-term rewards, in the form of annual cash bonuses, serve to link pay to performance and provide incentive to selected individuals to help the Company attain longer term goals. Annual bonuses are considered by the Compensation Committee following the close of each fiscal year and are paid during the next quarter. The Committee has not established limits on the amount of annual cash bonuses, but typically does not award cash bonuses in excess of 10% of an individual’s base compensation. The Committee believes that short-term rewards in the form of cash bonuses to NEOs generally should reflect short-term results and should take into consideration both the profitability and performance of the Company and the performance of the individual, which may include comparing such individual’s performance to the preceding year, reviewing the breadth and nature of the NEO’s responsibilities and valuing special contributions by each such individual. With respect to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman, greater emphasis is placed on the performance of the Company. In evaluating performance of the Company annually, the Committee considers a variety of factors including, among others, Funds From Operations (FFO), net income, growth in asset size, amount of space under lease, and total return to shareholders. The Company considers FFO to be an important measure of an equity REIT’s operating performance and has adopted the definition suggested by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO to mean net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company considers FFO to be a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of its real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. As described in the discussion which follows concerning long-term incentive compensation, the Committee declines to use specific performance formulas, believing that with respect to Company performance, such formulas do not adequately account for many factors including, among others, the relative performance of the Company compared to its competitors during variations in the economic cycle, and that with respect to individual performance, such formulas are not a substitute for the subjective evaluation by the Committee of a wide range of management and leadership skills of each of the NEOs.

In addition to annual cash bonuses approved or recommended by the Compensation Committee, the Committee also authorizes the President, in his discretion, to make cash awards (“Special Performance Awards”), apart from year end cash bonuses, to reward employees for exceptional effort and service to the Company. All employees of the Company, including NEOs other than the CEO and the Chairman, are eligible to receive such an award. For the year ended October 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee authorized Special Performance Awards, in the aggregate, of not more than $155,500.

The Committee’s determination regarding cash bonuses to be awarded to the CEO and recommendations for cash bonuses to be paid to the other NEOs are submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. The Summary Compensation table below includes bonuses and Special Performance Awards paid to the NEOs in fiscal 2014. Such payments were made in December 2013 and reflect the Committee’s assessment of the individual’s performance and the Company’s results for fiscal 2013 when, despite the fact that the Company

completed the acquisition of interests in thirteen additional properties with sixty-nine new tenants in approximately 277,000 square feet and new leases or lease renewals at competitive rents covering over 700,000 square feet, FFO, net income and other measures of short term performance remained largely unchanged or declined slightly from the preceding year. As reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, the Committee awarded Mr. Biddle a bonus of $7,200 and recommended bonuses, later approved by the Board of Directors, for Messrs. Hayes, Urstadt, Rapaglia and Myers of $4,100, $4,800, $4,100 and $4,200, respectively. To acknowledge special contributions by Messrs. Hayes and Rapaglia, these officers also received Special Performance Awards of $8,900 each.

At its meeting in December 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed results for the year ended October 31, 2014. The Committee again recognized the sound performance of the Company during the year, including the following significant events: an increase in FFO over the preceding year of more than 3.5% for the Company’s Class A shares and 2% for the Company’s Common shares, after removing significant non-recurring transactions from the year over year comparison; the redevelopment and re-tenanting of the Company’s second largest shopping center resulting in an increase in the occupancy level at that property and across the Company’s core portfolio to more than 95%; and the successful issuance and sale of 3,000,000 shares of a new 6.75% Series G Preferred Stock that was used to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 7.5% Series D Preferred Stock which will result in savings going forward of over $459,000 annually. The Committee awarded Mr. Biddle a bonus of $13,077 and recommended bonuses, subsequently approved by the Board of Directors, for Messrs. Urstadt, Hayes, Rapaglia and Myers. Mr. Urstadt received a bonus of $9,615 and Messrs. Hayes, Rapaglia and Myers received bonuses of $8,462 each. Special Performance Awards also were made to Messrs. Hayes, Rapaglia and Myers in amounts of $7,300, $9,800 and $5,000, respectively. Since these bonuses and Special Performance Awards were paid in December 2014, which is part of the Company’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2015, they will be reflected in the Summary Compensation Table to be included in the proxy statement for the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016.

Long-term Incentives

Of the five elements of the Company’s executive compensation program, the Company places the greatest emphasis on equity incentives tied to the long-term performance and profitability of the Company. This is accomplished through grants under the Company’s Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”), thus providing the Company’s key executives with a direct incentive to improve the Company’s performance and enhance shareholder value. The Plan provides that the recipient does not become vested in restricted stock until after a specified time after it is issued. The Compensation Committee determines the vesting period which may range between five and ten years after the date of grant. The Committee recognizes that such time frames may be comparatively long when measured against similar types of incentive awards for executives of other companies, but believes that awards that vest after five or more years, and which become vested only at the end of their terms, and not ratably over their terms, better reflect the longer term outlook of a real estate focused company and also better link the individual rewards to successful development and implementation of long-term growth strategies that will benefit all shareholders. Unless an exception is approved by the Committee, if the executive leaves the Company prior to the end of the vesting period, other than by retirement, death or disability, unvested stock is forfeited. The Company believes that the restricted stock awards serve as both a reward for performance and a retention device for key executives and help to align their interests with all shareholders.

The Committee determines the long-term incentive awards for the CEO, and, with input from the CEO, makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding similar awards for the other NEOs. In making its decisions, the Committee does not use an established formula or focus on a specific performance target. The Committee recognizes that often outside forces beyond the control of management, such as economic conditions, changing retail and real estate markets and other factors, may contribute to less favorable near term results even when sound strategic decisions have been made to position the Company for longer term profitability. Thus, the Committee also strives to identify whether the CEO is exercising the kind of judgment

and making the types of decisions that will lead to future growth and enhanced net asset value, even if the same are difficult to measure on a current basis. For example, in determining appropriate long-term incentive awards, the Committee considers, among other matters, whether senior management has envisioned and executed strategies that will provide adequate funding or appropriate borrowing capacity for future growth, whether acquisition and leasing “pipelines” have been developed to ensure a future stream of reliable and increasing revenues for the Company, whether the selection of properties, tenants and tenant mix evidence appropriate risk management, including risks associated with real estate markets and tenant credit, and whether the administration of staff size and compensation appropriately balances the current and projected operating requirements of the Company with the need to effectively control overhead costs.

The Summary Compensation Table set forth below includes the grant date fair market value of long-term incentive awards made to the named executive officers during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. Those grants were approved in December 2013 and became effective in January 2014 following the close of the prior fiscal year. Such grants reflect the Compensation Committee’s consideration of the factors described above.

At its meeting in December 2014, the Compensation Committee considered results for the year ended October 31, 2014 and undertook its annual evaluation and recommendations for changes in base compensation, annual bonuses and incentive awards. To recognize extraordinary contributions, the Committee awarded restricted stock to Mr. Biddle in the amount of 100,000 Common shares and 2,500 Class A Common shares and made recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning grants to the other named executive officers, including an award to Mr. Urstadt in the amount of 50,000 Common shares and 2,000 Class A Common shares, all of which grants were effective as of January 2, 2015. Mr. Biddle’s award vests after nine years. The awards to the other NEO’s vest after five years. Except as noted above, the awards to Messrs. Biddle, Hayes, Rapaglia and Myers are subject to continued employment. The award to Mr. Urstadt would be forfeited in the event of his voluntary retirement; however, in the event of his involuntary termination, except for Cause (as defined), Mr. Urstadt’s award would continue to vest as if his termination had not occurred. In making the awards, the Committee considered the factors cited above and recognized a number of accomplishments, including: the redemption of all of the Series D Preferred Stock outstanding by using proceeds from the sale of the new Series G Preferred Stock discussed in the preceding section; the acquisition of, or interest in, nine additional properties adding another 500,000 square feet of space to the portfolio; new leases or lease renewals at competitive rents covering over 750,000 square feet; and continued strict adherence to a business plan that has emphasized sound risk management, very low leverage by industry standards, ample liquidity and credit lines for future growth, and the avoidance of variable rate long-term debt obligations. In evaluating long-term performance, the Committee recognized that the Company remains among the leaders of all retail REITs in comparisons of total performance over the last 10 year period.

Employee Benefit Plans

The Company maintains a variety of medical, dental, life and disability insurance programs and a Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”) for all of its eligible full-time employees. The 401(k) Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and provides employees with an opportunity to accumulate savings in a tax deferred plan through deferral of a portion of their compensation and through matching Company contributions. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee approved matching profit-sharing contributions for each participant’s account equal to the amount of the participant’s elective deferrals that do not exceed 5% of compensation (as defined) under the 401(k) Plan. In order to comply with certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code Limitations”), an amount equal to the excess of the 5% matching contribution that would have been allocated to the account for Mr. Biddle under the 401(k) Plan for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 absent the Code Limitations, was credited to an Excess Benefit Account for Mr. Biddle under the Company’s Excess Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts credited to the respective accounts of each NEO in the

401(k) Plan and the Excess Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plan appear in the Summary Compensation Table in the column titled “All Other Compensation”.

Termination Benefits in the event of a Change in Control

The Company does not have employment agreements with any of the named executive officers, but it has entered into change in control agreements with each of the NEOs pursuant to which each of the NEOs would be entitled to certain termination benefits in the event that his employment is terminated for Good Reason (as defined) or by the Company for any reason other than for Cause (as defined), within eighteen months following a change in control. Each of the Change in Control Agreements has an indefinite term. Such agreements serve to provide the named executive officers with an element of financial security and predictability should their employment be terminated in the circumstances described above. Specific information concerning the terms of the Change in Control agreements and a description of benefits payable to the NEOs in the event of a termination following a change in control can be found in the discussion and table below under the caption Potential Payments on Termination and Change in Control.

Use of Compensation Consultants

Annually, the Compensation Committee considers whether it would be advantageous to engage an independent consultant to advise the Company on matters involving executive compensation. At its meeting in the early part of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee considered this issue and determined that at such time it was not beneficial to the Company or its stockholders to engage an independent compensation consultant.

Stockholder Votes on Executive Compensation

At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on March 26, 2014, the Company’s stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, on the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. The stockholders voted overwhelmingly to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s NEOs. The Company’s Board of Directors considered the recommendations of the stockholders and determined that the Company would not make any material modifications to the compensation arrangements for the NEOs. At a prior meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on March 10, 2011, the Company’s stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation and voted overwhelmingly to recommend that future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers be held every three years. The Board of Directors adopted that recommendation and, accordingly, the next stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation will be held at the Annual Meeting of stockholders in March 2017.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of the Company with management. Based on the review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014.

Summary of Restricted Stock Award Plan

First established in 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved an Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Plan in 2002 (the “Plan”) and subsequently approved further amendments to the Plan which, among other things, increased the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan to 3,750,000 shares of which 350,000 shares are Class A Common Stock, 350,000 are Common Stock, and 3,050,000 shares, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee administering the Plan, may be any combination of Class A Common Stock or Common Stock. As of January 15, 2015, 303,950 shares remain available for future issuance under the Plan.

Grant of Restricted Stock Awards. Participants eligible to receive restricted stock awards include any employee or director selected by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion.

Principal Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock award is evidenced by a written agreement, executed by both the relevant participant and the Company, setting forth all the terms and conditions applicable to such award as determined by the Compensation Committee. These terms and conditions include:

•

the length of the restricted period of the award;

•

the restrictions applicable to the award including, without limitation, the employment or retirement status rules governing forfeiture and restrictions applicable to any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance of the restricted stock during the restricted period; and

•

the eligibility to share in dividends and other distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders during the restricted period.

Lapse of Restrictions. If a participant’s status as an employee or non-employee director of the Company is terminated by reason of death or disability, the restrictions will lapse on such date. Except as described below, if such status as an employee or non-employee director is terminated prior to the lapse of the restricted period by reason of retirement, the restricted period will continue as if the participant had remained in the employment of the Company; provided, however, that if the retired participant accepts employment or provides services during the restricted period to any organization other than the Company that is engaged primarily in the ownership and/or management or brokerage of shopping center in the New York, Northern New Jersey, Long Island, NY-NJ-CT Metropolitan Statistical Area (the “Company’s MSA”), the participant will forfeit all unvested restricted shares. If a participant’s status as an employee or director terminates for any other reason, the participant will forfeit any outstanding restricted stock awards. Special rules apply to any participant who has attained retirement age prior to the date of grant. With respect to Mr. Urstadt only, since he has obtained the age of 65, grants of restricted stock made after 2006 would be forfeited in the event of his voluntary retirement prior to the end of the applicable vesting period. Shares of restricted stock that are forfeited become available again for issuance under the Plan. The Compensation Committee has the authority to accelerate the time at which the restrictions may lapse whenever it considers that such action is in the best interests of the Company and of its stockholders, whether by reason of changes in tax laws, a “Change in Control” as defined in the Plan, or otherwise.

Dividends on Restricted Stock. Recipients of restricted stock have the right to receive dividends declared and other distributions paid with respect to such stock as the same are declared and paid to stockholders with respect to the Common Stock and Class A Common Stock generally.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Beginning in November 1996, the Company established the Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. Excess Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended, the “Original Plan”). In response to changes required by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, in December 2004 the directors voted to freeze the Original Plan and adopted a new Excess Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plan, effective January 1, 2005 (the “Current Plan”). The Company made required distributions to participants in the Original Plan through December 31, 2013 when the last required distribution was made. There no longer are any assets in the Original Plan.

Since January 2005, the Company has maintained the Current Plan. The Current Plan is intended to provide eligible employees with benefits in excess of the amounts that may be provided under the Company’s 401(k) Plan and to provide such employees with the opportunity to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation. Participation is limited to those employees who earn above a certain limit, $260,000 for 2014. The Current Plan provides that a participant is credited with an amount equal to the contributions that would have been credited to the participant if the applicable compensation limitation under the 401(k) Plan did not apply.

Amounts credited under the Current Plan vest under the same rules as under the 401(k) Plan. In addition, each participant may elect to defer receipt of a portion of his or her compensation until a later date. Amounts credited under the Current Plan are increased with interest at a rate set from time to time by the Compensation Committee. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, the Company paid interest on deferred compensation accounts at a rate based upon the rate of interest applicable to United States Five Year Treasury Notes. Alternatively, eligible participants in the Current Plan may elect to have all or a portion of their deferred compensation accounts invested in the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Common Stock, or such other securities as may be purchased by the Plan trustees in their discretion. At a date selected by a participant when a deferral election is made, or following a participant’s retirement or severance of employment with the Company, amounts in the Current Plan attributable to such participant are paid either in a lump sum or over a period of up to ten years, based upon a previously made election by the participant. In the event of a change in control (as defined in each Plan), the Compensation Committee may in its discretion accelerate the payment of benefits under the Current Plan.

The Current Plan provides for a trust to hold funds allocated under the Plan. Members of the Compensation Committee act as trustees of the trust.

The table below provides information on the non-qualified deferred compensation of each of the named executive officers.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS ON TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL

Termination Absent a Change in Control

The Company does not have employment agreements with any of the named executive officers. Employment is “at will” and generally upon termination of employment, except in the event of death or disability, the employee is not entitled to any severance, cash compensation, medical or other benefits, whether termination is with or without cause. In the event of termination of employment due to death or disability, any unvested restricted stock would become fully vested. For Messrs. Biddle, Hayes, Urstadt, Rapaglia, and Myers the value of their unvested restricted stock as of October 31, 2014 was $18,326,200, $746,235, $8,260,323, $832,755, and $1,784,475, respectively (see table at page 30). With respect to Mr. Urstadt only, since he has attained the age of 65, some of his unvested restricted stock would continue to vest following his voluntary retirement, as if retirement had not occurred, while other grants of restricted stock would be forfeited in the event of his voluntary retirement prior to the end of the applicable vesting period. Grants that would continue to vest are contingent upon his agreement, for the balance of the applicable vesting period, not to accept employment or provide services to any organization other than the Company that is engaged primarily in the ownership and/or management or brokerage of shopping centers in the Company’s Metropolitan Statistical Area. The value of unvested restricted stock that Mr. Urstadt would be eligible to receive, had voluntary retirement occurred as of October 31, 2014, is $1,513,688.

Termination following a Change in Control

The Company has entered into Change in Control Agreements (“Agreements”) with each of the NEOs. Under their respective Agreements, each of the NEOs would be entitled to certain termination benefits in the event that his employment is terminated for Good Reason or by the Company for any reason other than for Cause, within eighteen months following a Change in Control. Each of the Change in Control Agreements has an indefinite term. Generally, termination for Good Reason includes, but is not limited to, voluntary termination of employment by the named executive officer within 180 days following the occurrence of any of the following: (i) a change in the NEO’s authority, duties or responsibilities which represents a material diminution in his authority, duties or responsibilities prior to the Change in Control; (ii) a material reduction in the NEO’s base salary below the level that existed preceding the Change in Control; (iii) a relocation of the NEO outside a 50 mile radius of the NEO’s work site at the date such agreement was signed; (iv) the sale or other disposition by the Company of more than 50% of the assets of the Company over which the NEO has authority to any “person” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (v) other material breach by the Company of the terms of the Change in Control Agreement. Termination for Cause means termination of employment by the Company because of dishonesty, conviction of a felony, gross neglect of duties, or conflict of interest which, in the case of gross neglect or conflict of interest, continues for thirty days after written notice by the Company to the employee requesting cessation of such gross neglect or conflict.

Termination Benefits

In the event a named executive officer becomes eligible for termination benefits as provided above, such benefits would include the following: (i) a cash payment, to be made within forty-five days after such termination, equal to 12 months of the NEO’s base salary (exclusive of any bonus or other benefit) in effect at the date of the Change in Control; and (ii) the Company would be obligated to maintain, for a period of twelve months after termination (the “Benefits Period”), all life insurance, disability, medical and other benefit programs to which the NEO and his family were entitled at the date of the Change in Control or, in the event the continued participation of the NEO and his family in such programs is not possible, to arrange for similar benefits. The termination benefits also would include a lump sum cash payment to the NEO within forty-five days of such termination in lieu of Company contributions on behalf of the NEO to which the NEO otherwise would be entitled during the Benefits Period under the Company’s Profit Sharing and Savings Plan. In the

event of a named executive officer’s termination of employment following a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee has the authority to accelerate the time at which restrictions will lapse or to remove any restrictions applicable to awards of restricted stock under the Company’s Restricted Stock Award Plan.

The table below sets forth the compensation payable to each of the named executive officers in the event of termination following a Change in Control. The amounts are estimates only and assume that a Change in Control occurred on October 31, 2014. Actual amounts to which the NEO would be entitled would depend upon his actual compensation, value of benefits, and restricted stock outstanding as of the date of the Change in Control.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of such equity securities with the SEC. Such persons also are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that, with respect to the period from November 1, 2013 through October 31, 2014, its directors, officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that George H.C. Lawrence inadvertently failed to timely report on a Form 5 for fiscal 2013 gifts that he made of 2,600 shares of Class A Common stock, but later reported the gifts on a Form 5 filing for fiscal 2014.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES AND VOTING PROCEDURES

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of the Company and its affiliates may solicit proxies by personal interview, facsimile transmission or telephone and will not receive additional compensation for such services. Arrangements will be made with banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy solicitation material to beneficial owners of Class A Common Shares and Common Shares and the Company will reimburse such parties for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

The presence, either in person or by properly executed proxy, of a majority of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Shares and Common Shares is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Each Common Share outstanding on the Record Date entitles the holder thereof to one vote and each Class A Common Share outstanding on the Record Date entitles the holder thereof to 1/20 of one vote. An automated system administered by Broadridge Investor Communications Services tabulates the votes.

The election of the directors and the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and present, in person or by properly executed proxy, at the Annual Meeting. In each case, abstentions will be the equivalent of negative votes and broker non-votes will have no effect with respect to such proposals, since any Class A Common Shares or Common Shares subject to broker non-votes will not be present and entitled to vote with respect to any proposal to which the broker non-vote applies.

Each of the Proposals presented to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting is being presented as a separate and independent Proposal and no Proposal is conditioned upon adoption or approval of any other Proposal.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company’s Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 (which is not part of the Company’s proxy soliciting materials) has been made available to the stockholders over the Internet or mailed to the Company’s stockholders with or prior to this proxy statement.
