| Executive Officer | Cancelled Base Units | Cancelled Distribution Equivalent Units | New Time-Vesting LTIP Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marcel Verbaas (CEO) | 336,322 | 77,355 | 294,176 |

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Management Rationale: The awards were modified to encourage the retention of executive officers, which management deems crucial for continued value creation and long-term success during the pandemic.
- Vesting Terms: The new awards vest in full on December 31, 2022, subject to continued service. Full acceleration occurs in the event of a Change of Control, death, disability, termination without Cause, or resignation for Good Reason.
- Risks: The filing explicitly cites the COVID-19 pandemic as the driver for these changes, indicating significant operational uncertainty in the hotel sector.

- Review the "Form of Time-Based LTIP Unit Agreement" (Exhibit 10.1) for specific forfeiture clauses or performance conditions not detailed in the summary.
- Confirm the impact of these compensation changes on the Company's overall equity structure and future expense recognition.
