Explanation of responses
- F1Restricted TRG Profits Units, Relative TSR Performance-based TRG Profits Units, and NOI Performance-based TRG Profits Units (collectively, "Profits Units") were granted to the reporting person pursuant to The Taubman Company 2008 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended.
- F10Restricted stock units were granted to the reporting person pursuant to The Taubman Company LLC 2018 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive upon vesting one share of the Company's common stock and an amount equal to the cash value of the dividends that would have been paid to the reporting person if one share of common stock had been issued on the grant date for each restricted stock unit granted to the reporting person under this award.
- F11The restricted stock units vest on March 1, 2022.
- F2Each Restricted TRG 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. A portion of the initial Restricted TRG Profits Units award represented estimated cash distributions to be paid during the vesting period. The Restricted TRG Profits Units vested on March 1, 2019 and the adjustment shown reflects the reduction in Restricted TRG Profits Units outstanding as a result of the actual cash distributions made during the vesting period, which was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee on March 12, 2019.
- F3Under the Company's Continuing Offer to employees covered by the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plans 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.
- F4The Profits Units vested on March 1, 2019, however the Profits Units will not convert to units of limited partnership interest in TRG until certain tax-driven requirements are satisfied.
- F5In 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.
- F6Each Relative TSR Performance-based TRG Profits Unit (TSR Profits Unit) represents a contingent right to receive one unit of limited partnership interest in TRG ranging from 0-100% of the TSR Profits Units granted upon vesting, the satisfaction of certain tax-driven requirements, and the satisfaction of certain performance-based requirements based on the achievement of relative total shareholder return (TSR) over a three-year period.
- F7The maximum number of TSR Profits Units were issued at grant (300% of the target grant amount), and were subject to a recovery and cancellation of previously granted amounts depending on actual performance against TSR measures over the three-year performance measurement period. A portion of the initial TSR Profits Units award represented estimated cash distributions to be paid during the vesting period. The TSR Profits Units vested on March 1, 2019 with a payout ratio of 22%, which was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee on March 12, 2019 and also reflects the reductions in TSR Profits Units outstanding as a result of the actual cash distributions made during the vesting period.
- F8Each NOI Performance-based TRG Profits Unit (NOI Profits Unit) represents a contingent right to receive one unit of limited partnership interest in TRG ranging from 0-100% of the NOI Profits Units granted upon vesting, the satisfaction of certain tax-driven requirements, and the satisfaction of certain performance-based requirements based on the achievement of net operating income (NOI) over a three-year period. NOI Profits Units provide for a cap on the maximum number of units vested if absolute TSR is not positive over a three-year period.
- F9The maximum number of NOI Profits Units were issued at grant (300% of the target grant amount), and were subject to a recovery and cancellation of previously granted amounts depending on actual performance against NOI measures over the three-year performance measurement period. A portion of the initial NOI Profits Units award represented estimated cash distributions to be paid during the vesting period. The NOI Profits Units vested on March 1, 2019 with a payout ratio of 30%, which was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee on March 12, 2019 and also reflects the reductions in NOI Profits Units outstanding as a result of the actual cash distributions made during the vesting period.
