EXHIBIT A
VESTING OF PERFORMANCE SHARES (3-YEAR PERFORMANCE)
The number of Performance Shares that shall vest under this Agreement shall be based upon the following performance goal: The Company’s Total Shareholder Return as compared to the Total Shareholder Return of the Comparison Group during the Performance Period, as further described below. Upon (a) the expiration of the Performance Period, and (b) the Committee’s determination and certification of the extent to which the performance goal has been achieved, the Participant shall become vested in the number of Performance Shares that corresponds to the level of achievement of the performance goal set forth below that is certified by the Committee. Such determination and certification shall occur no later than sixty (60) days after the conclusion of the Performance Period.
The “Comparison Group” used for purposes of this Exhibit A shall consist of the companies comprising the MSCI US REIT Index as of the date of this Agreement, which companies are listed on the attached Schedule A-1.
If a company in the Comparison Group experiences a bankruptcy event during the Performance Period, the company will remain in the Comparison Group and its stock price will continue to be tracked for purposes of the Total Shareholder Return calculation. If the company is subsequently acquired or goes private, the provisions below will apply. If the company liquidates, the company will remain in the Comparison Group and its Ending Stock Price will be reduced to zero.
If a company in the Comparison Group is acquired by another company in the Comparison Group, the acquired company will be removed from the Comparison Group and the surviving company will remain in the Comparison Group.
If a company in the Comparison Group is acquired by a company not in the Comparison Group, the acquired company will remain in the Comparison Group, and its Ending Stock Price will be equal to the value per share of the consideration paid to the shareholders of the acquired company in the transaction. The surviving company in such transaction will not be added to the Comparison Group.
If a company in the Comparison Group ceases to be a public company due to a going private transaction, the company will remain in the Comparison Group, and its Ending Stock Price shall be equal to the value per share of the consideration paid to the shareholders of the target company in the transaction.
A-1
“Total Shareholder Return” for the Company and each company in the Comparison Group shall include dividends paid and shall be determined as follows:
Total Shareholder Return | = | Change in Stock Price + Dividends Paid |
Beginning Stock Price |
“Beginning Stock Price” shall mean the average closing sale price of one (1) share of common stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the first day of the Performance Period, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, such other national securities exchange on which the stock is traded or, if the stock is traded over-the-counter, the OTC Bulletin Board, Pink OTC Markets Inc. or other applicable reporting organization. The Beginning Stock Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits or stock dividends during the Performance Period.
“Change in Stock Price” shall mean the difference between the Ending Stock Price and the Beginning Stock Price.
“Dividends Paid” shall mean the total of all cash and in-kind dividends paid on (1) share of stock during the Performance Period.
“Ending Stock Price” shall mean the average closing sale price of one (1) share of common stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the last day of the Performance Period, except as otherwise provided under “Determination of Comparison Group” above. Such closing sale prices shall be as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, such other national securities exchange on which the stock is traded or, if the stock is traded over-the-counter, the OTC Bulletin Board, Pink OTC Markets Inc. or other applicable reporting organization.
“Performance Period” shall mean the period commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024.
Following the Total Shareholder Return determination for the Company and the companies in the Comparison Group, the “Company Rank” within the Comparison Group shall be determined by listing each company in the Comparison Group (including the Company) from the highest Total Shareholder Return to lowest Total Shareholder Return and counting up to the Company from the company with the lowest Total Shareholder Return.
A-2
The Company’s “Percentile Rank” shall then be determined as follows:
Percentile Rank for Comparison Group | = | Company Rank in Comparison Group |
Total Number of Companies in the Comparison Group Including the Company |
In the event that the Company’s Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period is equal to the Total Shareholder Return(s) of one or more other companies in the Comparison Group for that same period, the Company’s Total Shareholder Return Percentile Rank will be determined by ranking the Company’s Total Shareholder Return for that period as being greater than such other companies in the Comparison Group.
The percent of Performance Shares that vest shall then be determined based on the following chart:
Company’s Percentile Rank | | Percent of Performance Shares to Vest |
67th and above | | 150% |
51st | | 100% |
34th | | 50% |
Below 34th | | 0% |
Interpolation shall be used to determine the percent of Performance Shares that vest in the event the Company’s Percentile Rank does not fall directly on one of the ranks listed in the above chart. Once the percent of Performance Shares to vest has been determined, the percent shall be multiplied by the number of Performance Shares awarded to determine the actual number of Performance Shares that vest, rounded to the next highest whole share. All Performance Shares that do not vest in accordance with this Exhibit A shall be automatically forfeited and canceled.
6.Absolute TSR Governor:
Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 5 above, and regardless of the Company’s Percentile Rank, if the Company’s Total Shareholder Return for the Performance Period does not exceed 3% per annum, then the number of Performance Shares that vest pursuant to Section 5 shall not exceed 100% of the number of Performance Shares granted.
