The board has four independent directors and three key committees—Audit, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Compensation—all composed of independent members. The company emphasizes pay‑for‑performance: for 2025, about 88% of the CEO’s target pay and 61% of other named executives’ target pay was at risk, tied to metrics such as same‑store NOI growth, FFO as adjusted per share, G&A expense, and strategic and individual goals. Because 2025 results were below targets on several metrics, annual cash bonuses were paid at 60% of target.
In 2025 the CEO’s total compensation was $4.85 million, largely in long‑term equity awards, resulting in a CEO pay ratio of 114 to 1 versus the median employee. Audit fees paid to BDO for 2025 were $1.36 million. The proxy also describes stock ownership guidelines, an executive severance and change‑of‑control plan, and a shift beginning in 2026 to use total shareholder return as the primary long‑term performance metric.
