We typically pay retainer, chair and lead independent director cash fees on a quarterly basis. However, in light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, the Board determined that all director cash fees payable for services during the 2020 fiscal year be reduced to zero, regardless of whether a director had elected previously to defer all or a portion of such cash fees. In accordance with established Company procedures, a director may make an advance election to defer payment of all or a portion of his or her director cash fees pursuant to the Company’s Stock and Cash Incentive Plan and/or the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company grants the Non-Employee Director Deferred Share Awards following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders.
Other Information
The Company reimburses directors for travel expenses, other out-of-pocket costs they incur when attending meetings and, for one meeting per year, attendance by spouses. To encourage our directors to visit and personally evaluate our properties, the directors also receive complimentary rooms, food and beverages at Company-owned, operated or franchised hotels, as well as the use of hotel-related services such as Marriott-managed golf and spa facilities, when on personal travel. The value of these benefits is reported to the directors as taxable compensation and the directors are not provided any gross-up to cover such taxes.
