- F2The Class A OP Units in the first row of this table are comprised of 28,553 Class A OP Units issuable upon the conversion of 28,553 unvested long-term incentive plan units ("LTIP Units") in the Partnership which were granted to the Reporting Person pursuant to a 2019 LTIP Unit Award Agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Person under the Issuer's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Of these, 7,786 vest in three annual installments on January 1, 2020, January 1, 2021, and January 1, 2022, subject to continued employment by the Reporting Person and 20,767 represent the maximum amount of LTIP units that can vest on January 1, 2022 contingent upon the achievement of certain performance criteria.
- F3The Reporting Person will not earn any of the 20,767 performance-based LTIP units if the minimum performance criteria is not met. The 20,767 performance-based LTIP units are being reported here for informational purposes only. Vested LTIP Units, after achieving parity with Class A OP Units, are eligible to be converted into Class A OP Units on a one-for-one basis upon the satisfaction of conditions set forth in the Partnership's agreement of limited partnership.
