The CEO for each year shown in the table was Joseph D. Russell, Jr. and the other NEOs were H. Thomas Boyle, Natalia N. Johnson, and Nathaniel A. Vitan. Chris C. Sambar, who joined the Company in October 2024, is included as an “other NEO” in 2024 and 2025 and David Lee, who resigned in August 2023, is included as an “other NEO” for 2023.
(2)
The 2021 values reflected in this column reflect both the grant date fair value of the 2021 performance-based RSU awards and the value attributable to COVID-19 related modifications made by the CHC Committee in 2021 to the 2020 performance-based RSU awards.
(3)
Compensation actually paid (“CAP”) is defined by the SEC and is computed in accordance with SEC rules by subtracting the amounts in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns of the SCT for each year from the “Total” column of the SCT and then: (i) adding the fair value as of the end of the reported year of all awards granted during the reporting year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the reporting year; (ii) adding the amount equal to the change as of the end of the reporting year (from the end of the prior year) in fair value (whether positive or negative) of any awards granted in any prior year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the reporting year; (iii) adding, for awards that are granted and vest in the reporting year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) adding the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value (whether positive or negative) of any awards granted in any prior year for which all applicable vesting conditions were satisfied at the end of or during the reporting year; (v) subtracting, for any awards granted in any prior year that are forfeited during the reporting year, the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior year; and (vi) adding the value of any dividends (or dividend equivalents) paid in the reporting year on unvested equity awards. The following tables reflect the adjustments made to SCT total compensation for 2025 to compute CAP for our CEO and average CAP for our other NEOs:

Core FFO per share is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to pages 26-27 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 12, 2026 for information regarding Core FFO per share, including a reconciliation to GAAP earnings per share.

Relationship of CAP to Performance. The following graphs illustrate the relationship during 2021 to 2025 of the CAP for our CEO and the average CAP for our other NEOs (each as set forth in the table above), to (i) our cumulative TSR and the cumulative TSR of the constituent companies in the NAREIT Equity Index, (ii) our GAAP net income, and (iii) our Core FFO per share (in each case as set forth in the table above).

Financial Performance Measures. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company in setting pay-for-performance compensation for the most recently completed year are described in the table below. The manner in which these measures, together with certain non-financial performance measures, determine the amounts of incentive compensation paid to our NEOs is described above in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement.
