Material Changes and Compensation Details
2022 Annual Bonus Program
The Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive bonus program for executives Daniel J. Busch, Christy L. David, and Michael Phillips. The bonus is weighted as follows:
- Individual Performance: 25% (includes an ESG component)
- Core FFO: 37.5%
- Same-Property NOI Growth: 37.5%
Equity-Based Awards
On February 23, 2022, the Committee granted performance-based and time-based Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) under the 2015 Incentive Award Plan.
Performance-Based RSUs
Vesting is based on Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to the Nareit Shopping Center Index over a three-year period (Jan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2024). Vesting ranges from 0% to 100% based on threshold, target, and maximum levels.
| Executive | Target RSUs | Maximum RSUs |
|---|---|---|
| Daniel J. Busch | 62,248 | 124,496 |
| Christy L. David | 29,827 | 59,654 |
| Michael Phillips | 26,845 | 53,690 |
Time-Based RSUs
These awards vest in approximately one-third increments over three years, subject to continued service. Full vesting occurs upon termination for "good reason," death, disability, or within 24 months of a change in control.
| Executive | Time-Based RSUs |
|---|---|
| Daniel J. Busch | 30,660 |
| Christy L. David | 14,691 |
| Michael Phillips | 13,222 |
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking financial guidance, management commentary on market outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the standard vesting conditions tied to TSR performance and continued employment. Dividend equivalents are granted for both performance and time-based RSUs, payable upon vesting or dividend declaration dates respectively.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Performance Metrics: Verify the specific TSR thresholds and the composition of the Nareit Shopping Center Index to understand the difficulty of achieving maximum equity vesting.
- ESG Integration: Confirm how the ESG component within the "Individual Performance" metric is quantified and weighted.
- Change in Control Provisions: Review the specific acceleration and forfeiture terms for both performance and time-based RSUs in the event of a merger or acquisition.
- Dividend Rights: Note that dividend equivalents on performance-based RSUs are only paid if the RSUs vest, whereas time-based RSUs accrue dividends on unvested shares until termination.
