- F2The Class A OP Units in the first row of this table are comprised of 47,125 Class A OP Units issuable upon the conversion of 47,125 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, 12,850 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 34,275 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 34,275 performance-based LTIP units if the minimum performance criteria is not met.
