• Executive Performance-Based Awards Fail to Vest

  A significant portion of performance-based LTIP unit awards for NEOs, granted in 2023, did not vest on January 1, 2026, due to the company's low 3-year relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) compared to the MSCI US REIT Index and peer group.

• Successful Vesting of PRO Internalization Awards

  Special one-time performance-based awards granted in 2024, related to the internalization of the PRO structure, successfully vested on December 2, 2025, indicating the achievement of specific strategic metrics.

• Disclosure of Executive Share Pledges

  The filing details that Vice Chairperson Arlen D. Nordhagen and CEO David G. Cramer have pledged a substantial portion of their beneficial ownership (over 2 million shares/units for Nordhagen and over 600,000 shares for Cramer) as security for loans.

This amended annual report provides crucial details on executive compensation and corporate governance, supplementing the original 10-K filed in February 2026. The most significant takeaway is the failure of a substantial portion of performance-based equity awards for NEOs to vest, directly linked to the company's low 3-year Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to its peers. This outcome reinforces the accountability of management following the previously reported decline in net income and Core FFO per share for 2025. While some special awards related to the PRO internalization did vest, the broader long-term incentive failure highlights a misalignment between executive pay and shareholder returns. Additionally, the disclosure of significant share pledging by key executives like Arlen D. Nordhagen and David G. Cramer introduces a potential risk factor for investors, as it could indicate a need for liquidity or create pressure for future sales. Investors should monitor future performance metrics and executive compensation structures for improved alignment with shareholder value creation.
