Explanation of responses
- F1Each Class O LTIP unit is convertible by the Company's operating partnership or by the holder into Class A units at any time, and upon such equalization of the capital account of a Class O LTIP unit (and full vesting of the Class O LTIP unit, if such unit is subject to vesting and being converted by the holder), the Class O LTIP unit will be convertible into a number of Class A units equal to (i) the Class O LTIP unit's capital account divided by (ii) the capital account balance of a Class A unit (i.e., in a manner similar to a typical stock appreciation right), subject to certain exceptions and adjustments. Class A units became redeemable for cash or, at the Company's election, shares of the Company's Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis in November 2014, which was one year following the beginning of the first full calendar month following the closing of the initial public offering.
