Includes 3,616 PIUs granted 1/1/24, 3,942 PIUs granted 1/1/25, and 3,643 PIUs granted 1/1/26, subject to three-year cliff vesting on 12/31/26, 12/31/27 and 12/31/28, respectively. Also includes 7,652 PIUs that have been earned, but not yet vested, based on the Issuer's Absolute Total Shareholder Return and Relative Total Shareholder Return for the 2023-2025 performance period. 50% of such performance-based PIUs will vest at the end of each remaining calendar quarter in 2026.
(3)	Each OP Unit is redeemable at the election of the holder for cash equal to the then fair market value of one (1) share of Issuer common stock, or at the Issuer's election, one (1) share of Issuer common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the partnership agreement.
