Explanation of responses
- F1Performance share units (PSU) were granted to the reporting person pursuant to The Taubman Company 2008 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the Plan). Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive, upon vesting, shares of the Company's common stock ranging from 0-300% of the PSU based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to that of a peer group, plus a cash payment equal to the aggregate cash dividends that would have been paid on such shares of common stock from the date of grant of the award to the vesting date. The PSU vested on March 1, 2018 with a payout ratio of 124%, which was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee on March 7, 2018.
- F2Represents shares of the Company's common stock on an as-converted basis held through a stock fund of the Company's 401(k) plan.
- F3Restricted TRG Profits Units (Profits Units) were granted to the reporting person pursuant to the Plan. Each Profits Unit represents a contingent right to receive one unit of limited partnership interest in The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership (TRG) upon vesting and the satisfaction of certain tax-driven requirements; provided, that a portion of the Profits Units award represents estimated cash distributions to be paid during the vesting period and, upon vesting, there will be an adjustment in Profits Units to reflect actual cash distributions during such period.
- F4Under the Company's Continuing Offer to employees covered by the Plan and certain other partners in TRG, each unit of limited partnership interest in TRG held by an offeree is exchangeable for one share of the Company's common stock. Upon conversion of the Profits Units to units of limited partnership interest in TRG, the holder will have the right to purchase one share of the voting Series B Non-Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of TCO for each unit of limited partnership interest in TRG held.
- F5The Profits Units vest on March 1, 2021.
- F6In the event that vested Profits Units have not achieved the criteria for conversion to units of limited partnership interest in TRG prior to the 10th anniversary of the date of grant, the awards will be forfeited pursuant to the terms of the award agreement.
