This prospectus supplement no. 8 supplements and amends the prospectus dated June 21, 2007, as previously supplemented on March 24, 2008, January 31, 2008, December 21, 2007, October 16, 2007, September 13, 2007, August 23, 2007 and July 24, 2007, relating to the resale from time to time of up to 4,327,725 shares, or the registered shares, of our common stock, par value $.01 per share, by persons who receive such shares in exchange for the 3.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2027, or the notes, issued and sold by our operating partnership, SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., in a private transaction on March 26, 2007.

 

This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with and accompanied by the prospectus and is qualified by reference to the prospectus, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the prospectus.

 

The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exchange of the notes shown in the table below assumes exchange of the full amount of notes held by each selling stockholder at the current conversion rate of 5.7703 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.  This conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain events.  Accordingly, the number of conversion shares may increase or decrease from time to time.  Information concerning other selling stockholders will be set forth in other prospectus supplements from time to time, if required.  The number of shares of common stock owned by the other selling stockholders or any future transferee from any such holder assumes that they do not beneficially own any shares of common stock other than the shares of common stock that we may issue to them in exchange for or on redemption of the notes.
