    More detail

    This management proposal asks shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the company’s named executive officer compensation as disclosed in the proxy materials. Management is seeking shareholder endorsement of its pay programs to demonstrate alignment with shareholders and to inform the Human Capital and Compensation Committee in future compensation decisions. The company emphasizes a pay-for-performance philosophy, with a significant portion of executive pay delivered as equity (60% PSUs/40% RSUs), metrics tying long-term incentives to relative TSR and Core FFO growth, and annual cash incentives linked 70% to Core FFO per share and 30% to individual goals. The Board references strong past shareholder support (95% in 2025) and continuing shareholder engagement; it recommends a “FOR” vote and indicates it will consider voting results in future decisions. Key governance features cited include double-trigger change-in-control protection, clawback policy, robust ownership guidelines, no single-trigger CIC cash or gross-ups, and no hedging or pledging. The advisory vote is non-binding but influential; a “FOR” vote supports management’s compensation approach, while a substantial “AGAINST” vote could trigger a review and potential program changes by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee.
