Dear Fellow Stockholders:
Please join us for Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017.
As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are pleased to be furnishing our proxy materials to stockholders primarily over the Internet. We believe this process expedites the stockholders’ receipt of the materials, lowers the costs of the Annual Meeting and conserves natural resources. We sent to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 9, 2015 a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The notice contains instructions on how to access our proxy statement, annual report to stockholders and annual report on Form 10-K and vote online. If you would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials instead of downloading a printable version from the Internet, please follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the notice.
The matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the accompanying notice of the Annual Meeting and the proxy statement. We also will report on matters of current interest to our stockholders.
Please use this opportunity to contribute to our company by voting on the matters to come before this Annual Meeting. Stockholders who hold shares in their own name through our transfer agent, Computershare, can vote online or by telephone. To vote online or by telephone, follow the instructions for online voting contained within your Annual Meeting materials. In addition, if you have requested or received a paper copy of the proxy materials, you can vote by completing, dating, signing and returning the proxy card sent to you in the envelope accompanying the proxy materials. Voting online, by telephone or by returning the proxy card does not deprive you of your right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote your shares in person. If you do attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may revoke your proxy at or prior to the Annual Meeting.
Thank you for your continued support of Brixmor Property Group Inc.
Sincerely,

​ |  | ​ | ​ |  | ​
​ | Michael A. Carroll Chief Executive Officer | ​ | ​ | John G. Schreiber Chairman of the Board | ​

PROXY STATEMENT
Annual Meeting of Stockholders June 3, 2015 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time)
This proxy statement is being furnished by and on behalf of the board of directors of Brixmor Property Group Inc. in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. This proxy statement and our 2014 annual report to stockholders will be available at www.viewproxy.com/​Brixmor/2015 beginning on April 20, 2015.
General Information
Why am I being provided with these materials?
We have made these proxy materials available to you via the Internet or, upon your request, have delivered printed versions of these proxy materials to you by mail in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Brixmor Property Group Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 3, 2015 (“Annual Meeting”), and at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting. Directors, officers and other Company employees also may solicit proxies by telephone or otherwise. Brokers and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person. The Annual Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP at 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017. For directions to the Annual Meeting you may contact our Secretary at Brixmor Property Group Inc., 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170.
What am I voting on?
There are three proposals to be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting:
•
Proposal No. 1: Election of nine directors to serve until our next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.
​
•
Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015.
​
•
Proposal No. 3: Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement.
​
Who is entitled to vote?
Stockholders as of the close of business on April 9, 2015 (the “Record Date”), may vote at the Annual Meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof. As of that date, there were 297,342,656 shares of common stock outstanding. You have one vote for each share of common stock held by you as of the Record Date, including shares:
•
Held directly in your name as “stockholder of record” (also referred to as “registered stockholder”);
​
•
Held for you in an account with a broker, bank or other nominee (shares held in “street name”)— Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and instead must instruct the brokerage firm, bank or nominee how to vote their shares; and
​
•
Held for you by us as restricted shares (whether vested or non-vested) under any of our stock incentive plans.
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
What constitutes a quorum?
The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum to transact business at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who properly authorize a proxy but who instruct their proxy holder to abstain from voting on one or more matters are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Shares represented by “broker non-votes,” described below, also are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. However, as described below under “How are votes counted?,” if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non-vote”).
What is a “broker non-vote”?
A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the stockholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at his/her discretion. Under current New York Stock Exchange interpretations that govern broker non-votes, Proposal Nos. 1 and 3 are considered non-discretionary matters and a broker will lack the authority to vote shares at his/her discretion on such proposals. Proposal No. 2 is considered a discretionary matter and a broker will be permitted to exercise his/her discretion.
How many votes are required to approve each proposal?
The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast. A plurality vote requirement means that the nine nominees with the greatest number of votes cast, even if less than a majority, will be elected. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our directors.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on each other proposal at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve the proposal. While the vote on executive compensation (Proposal 3) is advisory in nature and non-binding, the Board will review the voting results and expects to take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.
How are votes counted?
With respect to the election of directors (Proposal No. 1), you may instruct your proxy to vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to each nominee. Votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote with respect to the nominee from which they are withheld and will have the same effect as an abstention. Votes that are withheld will not have any effect on the outcome of the election of directors. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.
You may instruct your proxy to vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or to “ABSTAIN” with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015 (Proposal No. 2) and the advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers (Proposal No. 3). Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of Proposals Nos. 2 and 3.
If you properly authorize a proxy (whether by internet, telephone or mail) without specifying voting instructions on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote your shares according to the Board’s recommendation on that matter and in accordance with the discretion of the holders of the proxy with respect to any other matters that may be brought before the Annual Meeting. The Board has recommended a vote “FOR” each nominee listed herein and “FOR” Proposals Nos. 2 and 3.
Who will count the vote?
Representatives of Alliance Advisors will tabulate the votes, and representatives of Alliance Advisors will serve as inspectors of election.
How does the Board recommend that I vote?
Our Board recommends that you vote your shares:
•
“FOR” each of the nominees for election as directors set forth in this Proxy Statement.
​
•
“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015.
​
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
•
“FOR” the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement.
​
How do I authorize a proxy to vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?
If you are a stockholder of record, you may authorize a proxy to vote on your behalf at the Annual Meeting. Specifically, you may authorize a proxy:
•
By Internet—If you have Internet access, you may authorize your proxy by going to www.cesvote.com and by following the instructions on how to complete an electronic proxy card. You will need the control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card in order to vote by Internet.
​
•
By Telephone—If you have access to a touch-tone telephone, you may authorize your proxy by dialing 1-888-693-8683 and by following the recorded instructions. You will need the control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability or proxy card in order to vote by telephone.
​
•
By Mail—If you have requested or received a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail, you may authorize your proxy by mail by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card where indicated and by mailing or otherwise returning the card in the envelope that has been provided to you. You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), indicate your name and title or capacity.
​
If you hold your shares in street name, you may also submit voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. In most instances, you will be able to do this over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. Please refer to information from your broker, bank, or other nominee on how to submit voting instructions.
Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m. on June 2, 2015 for the voting of shares held by stockholders of record or held in street name.
Mailed proxy cards with respect to shares held of record or in street name must be received no later than June 2, 2015.
How do I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?
First, you must satisfy the requirements for admission to the Annual Meeting (see below). Then, if you are a stockholder of record and prefer to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you must bring proof of identification along with your Notice of Internet Availability or proof of ownership. You may vote shares held in street name at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (broker, bank or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares.
Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote in advance by Internet, telephone or mail so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice on or about the same time?
It generally means you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all your shares are voted, please sign and return each proxy card or, if you authorize a proxy by Internet or telephone, vote once for each Notice you receive.
May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Yes. Whether you have authorized a proxy by Internet, telephone or mail, if you are a stockholder of record, you may change your voting instructions or revoke your proxy by:
•
Sending a written statement to that effect to our Corporate Secretary, provided such statement is received no later than June 2, 2015;
​
•
Authorizing a proxy again by Internet or telephone at a later time before the closing of those voting facilities at 11:59 p.m. on June 2, 2015;
​
•
Submitting a properly signed proxy card with a later date that is received no later than June 2, 2015; or
​
•
Attending the Annual Meeting, revoking your proxy and voting in person.
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
If you hold shares in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker or other nominee. You may also change your vote or revoke your proxy in person at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (broker, bank or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares.
Do I need a ticket to be admitted to the Annual Meeting?
You will need your proof of identification along with either your Notice or proof of stock ownership to enter the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held beneficially in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record and you wish to be admitted to attend the Annual Meeting, you must present proof of your ownership of Brixmor Property Group Inc. stock, such as a bank or brokerage account statement.
Do I also need to present identification to be admitted to the Annual Meeting?
Yes, all stockholders must present a form of personal identification in order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting.
No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases or packages will be permitted in the Annual Meeting.
Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
At the date this Proxy Statement went to press, we did not know of any matters that may be properly presented at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement.
If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration and you are a stockholder of record and have submitted a proxy card, the persons named in your proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.
Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers or employees (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission and facsimile transmission. Brokers and other nominees will be requested to solicit proxies or authorizations from beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
On January 16, 2015, in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock by certain investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”), Blackstone ceased to own a majority of the shares of our common stock. As a result, Nadeem Meghi resigned from our Board and the size of our Board was reduced to eight directors. On April 1, 2015, Thomas W. Dickson was appointed to our Board of Directors. In connection with his appointment, our Board was expanded to nine directors. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, nine nominees will be proposed for election as directors at the Annual Meeting to hold office until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. Our
nominees were selected by the Board, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All nine nominees currently serve on our board of directors.
All of the nominees are willing to serve as directors but, if any of them should decline or be unable to act as a director, the individuals designated in the proxy cards as proxies will exercise the discretionary authority provided to vote for the election of such substitute nominee selected by our board of directors, unless the board alternatively acts to reduce the size of the board or maintain a vacancy on the board in accordance with our bylaws. The board of directors has no reason to believe that any such nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve.

The Board of Directors and Certain Governance Matters
The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of our Board, as provided by Maryland law, and the Company conducts its business through meetings of the Board and its three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Until January 16, 2015, because Blackstone owned more than 50% of the voting power in our Company, we were a “controlled company” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance standards. As a “controlled company” we were entitled to, and elected to, utilize certain NYSE corporate governance exemptions. Effective January 16, 2015, we no longer qualified as a “controlled company” and accordingly have a transition period of one-year to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, and the requirement that we have a compensation committee and a nominating committee that is each composed entirely of independent directors.
We have structured our corporate governance in a manner we believe closely aligns our interests with those of our stockholders. Notable features of our corporate governance include:
•
our Board is not classified and each of our directors is subject to re-election annually, and we will not classify our Board in future without the approval of our stockholders;
​
•
our directors may be removed by the vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast and our Board may not increase the vote required to remove a director without stockholder approval;
​
•
we have a fully independent audit committee and majority independent compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees, and our independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of our corporate officers or non-independent directors;
​
•
we have opted out of the Maryland business combination and control share acquisition statutes, and in the future will not opt in without stockholder approval; and
​
•
we do not have a stockholder rights plan, and we will not adopt a stockholder rights plan in the future without stockholder approval.
​
The stockholders’ agreement described below under “Transactions with Related Persons” provides that so long as Blackstone and members of management who owned shares prior to our initial public offering, which was completed on November 4, 2013 (the “IPO”), and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 5% of the total Outstanding Brixmor Interests, we are required to nominate a certain number of individuals designated by Blackstone for election as our directors as specified in our stockholders’ agreement. “Outstanding Brixmor Interests” means, collectively, the outstanding shares of our common stock and the common units of partnership interest (“OP Units”) in our operating partnership, Brixmor Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partnership”), held by persons other than our wholly-owned subsidiary BPG Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BPG Subsidiary”), and Brixmor Property Group Inc. (“Outstanding OP Units”). Pursuant to the stockholders’ agreement, Blackstone is entitled to designate four individuals for nomination for election at the Annual Meeting; accordingly, Blackstone has designated, and the Board has selected Messrs. Schreiber, Agarwal, Gray and Stein to be nominated for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. The provisions of the stockholders’ agreement relating to the designation of nominees will remain until the earlier of such time as Blackstone is no longer entitled to nominate a director pursuant to the stockholders’ agreement or such time as Blackstone requests that the stockholders’ agreement terminate. See “Transactions with Related Persons—Stockholders’ Agreement.”
​
Director Independence and Independence Determinations
​
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and NYSE rules, a director is not independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that he or she does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines define independence in accordance with the independence definition in the current NYSE corporate governance rules for listed companies. Our Corporate Governance
​
8

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
Guidelines require the Board to review the independence of all directors at least annually.
In the event a director has a relationship with the Company that is relevant to his or her independence and is not addressed by the objective tests set forth in the NYSE independence definition, the Board will determine, considering all relevant facts and circumstances, whether such relationship is material.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee undertook its annual review of director independence and made a recommendation to our Board regarding director independence. As a result of
this review, our Board affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. Berman, Deering and Rahm is independent for purposes of all applicable New York Stock Exchange standards, including with respect to committee service. Our Board has also determined that each of Messrs. Berman, Deering and Rahm is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act.
In making its independence determinations, the Board considered and reviewed all information known to it (including information identified through annual directors’ questionnaires).
​
Board Structure
​
Our Board is led by the Chairman. The Chief Executive Officer position is separate from the Chairman position. We believe that the separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions is appropriate corporate governance for us at this time. Accordingly, Mr. Schreiber serves as Chairman, while Mr. Carroll serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Our
Board believes that this structure best encourages the free and open dialogue of competing views and provides for strong checks and balances. Additionally, Mr. Schreiber’s attention to Board and committee matters allows Mr. Carroll to focus more specifically on overseeing the Company’s day to day operations as well as strategic opportunities and planning.
​

Also on February 24, 2015, to comply with the NYSE’s transition rules for controlled companies, the Board appointed Mr. Deering to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to replace Mr. Agarwal, who served as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee during the year ended December 31, 2014. Each of these appointments was effective April 1, 2015.
All directors are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings of the Board, meetings of the committees of which they are members and the annual meeting of stockholders. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Board held eleven meetings, the Audit Committee held eight meetings, the Compensation Committee held four meetings and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings. All of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and relevant committee meetings in 2014.

​

We have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to all directors, officers and employees of the Company and a Code of Conduct for Senior Financial Officers which applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions. Each of these codes is available on our internet website www.brixmor.com under Investors: Governance. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth our policies and expectations on a number of topics, including conflicts
of interest, compliance with laws (including insider trading laws), use of our assets and business conduct and fair dealing. The Code of Conduct for Senior Financial Officers satisfies the requirements for a code of ethics, as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

controller, or persons performing similar functions, by posting such information on our website as set forth above rather than by filing a Form 8-K.
As described in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Company’s directors, officers and employees are provided with three avenues through which they can report violations or suspected violations with respect to accounting or auditing matters: a toll-free phone line, in writing, and a website. The toll-free number for directors, officers and employees is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Directors, officers and employees may also report integrity concerns via the internet. Directors, officers and employees may report any violation of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that does not
concern accounting or auditing matters either in writing or in person. Violations or suspected violations of the Code of Conduct for Senior Financial Officers must be reported to the Company’s General Counsel or the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and may be made in person, in writing or through a toll-free phone line. Directors, officers and employees can choose to remain anonymous in reporting violations or suspected violations. In addition, we maintain a formal non-retaliation policy that prohibits action or retaliation against any director, officer or employee who makes a report in good faith even if the facts alleged are not confirmed by subsequent investigation.
​
Director Nomination Process
​
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee weighs the characteristics, experience, independence and skills of potential candidates for election to the Board and recommends nominees for election as directors to the Board. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also assesses the size, composition and combined expertise of the Board. As the application of these factors involves the exercise of judgment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a standard set of fixed qualifications that is applicable to all director candidates, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does at a minimum assess each candidate’s strength of character, mature judgment, familiarity with our business and industry, independence of thought and his or her ability to work collegially with the other members of the Board. In addition, although the Board considers diversity of viewpoints, background and experiences, the Board does not have a formal diversity policy. In identifying prospective director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek referrals from other members of the Board, management, stockholders and other sources. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also may, but need not, retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes the same criteria for evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral. When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further enhance the Board’s effectiveness.
In connection with its annual recommendation of a slate of nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also assess the
contributions of those directors recommended for re-election in the context of the Board evaluation process and other perceived needs of the Board.
Each of Messrs. Schreiber, Agarwal, Gray and Stein were recommended by Blackstone as director nominees pursuant to the stockholders’ agreement; each of Messrs. Berman, Deering and Rahm were recommended by management as director nominees; and Mr. Carroll is our chief executive officer.
In the case of Mr. Dickson, CT Partners, an executive search firm, initially identified him as a potential director for the Board. Prior to his appointment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman, as well as a number of other members of the Board, met with Mr. Dickson to consider whether he would be an appropriate candidate for the Board. On April 1, 2015, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met to review Mr. Dickson’s qualifications and consider his candidacy. At that meeting, they voted unanimously to recommend Mr. Dickson to the Board. Following such recommendation, the Board voted unanimously to nominate Mr. Dickson to the Board.
When considering whether the directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Board focused primarily on the information discussed in each of the board member’s biographical information set forth above. Each of the Company’s directors possesses high ethical standards, acts with integrity and exercises careful, mature judgment. Each is committed to employing his skills and abilities to aid the long-term interests of the stakeholders of the Company. In addition, our directors are knowledgeable and experienced in one or more business, governmental, or civic endeavors,

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 2—RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015.
Although ratification is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and they are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The shares represented by your proxy will be voted for the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP unless you specify otherwise.

Say on Pay
In 2014, shareholders showed strong support of our executive compensation programs with 98.8% of the votes cast for the approval of the “say on pay” proposal at our 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.
​
Primary Components of Executive Compensation

Component | ​ | ​ | Form | ​ | ​ | Objective & Explanation | ​
Salary | ​ | ​ | Cash | ​ | ​ | - Base level compensation, rewards day-to-day performance and standard job duties ​ - Reflects level of responsibilities and experience/tenure ​ | ​
Annual Bonus Plan (“Bonus”) | ​ | ​ | Cash | ​ | ​ | - Earned for achievement of annual performance objectives ​ - 2014 performance objectives for CEO and President & CFO were based on Company financial metrics ​ - 2014 performance objectives for other NEOs were the same Company financial metrics (75%) and Individual Goals (25%). ​ - NEOs have bonus ranges with Threshold, Target and Maximum levels represented as percentages of base salary. Performance below Threshold would result in no bonus paid for the respective hurdle. ​ - Aids in retention ​ | ​
Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) | ​ | ​ | RSUs or LTIPs | ​ | ​ | - Motivates executives to focus on longer term value creation, sustained financial performance ​ - Provides alignment of interests with shareholders ​ - Performance geared toward total shareholder return over a 3-year period ​ - Aids in retention ​ | ​

Target Pay
At CY2014 Target levels, the compensation pay mix for the CEO and other current NEOs is as follows, illustrating that the program is heavily weighted toward incentive compensation or pay for performance.
Executive Pay Mix at CY14 Target Levels
Incentive-based pay for all NEOs averages 79% of total pay
Company Performance Versus Metrics
Brixmor’s annual bonus program features best practices, including the incorporation of multiple performance metrics. The financial metrics used are key indicators of the executive team’s effectiveness at leading the broader team in the management of our properties (NOI), our overall business (EBITDA) and cash flow (AFFO).
While the LTI program is geared toward relative and absolute total shareholder return (TSR) over a three
year period, the initial grant under the LTI plan included transition grants with one and two year performance tranches. Tranche one’s performance period was CY2104 and used a combination of financial metrics (AFFO and EBITDA) and individual goals.
The following illustrates the achievement level of performance versus financial metrics for Brixmor’s 2014 annual bonus plan and long-term incentive plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Corporate Governance
Our compensation philosophy is based on best practices, and our corporate governance standards are designed to align executive compensation with long-term shareholder interests.
What we do:
✓
Structure our Board with experienced leadership including a non-executive Chairman, a Lead Independent Director and knowledgeable committee chairs.
​
✓
The Compensation Committee conducts regular reviews of compensation strategies and programs, including our compensation risk profile, ensuring policies and programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
​
✓
The Compensation Committee directly retains the compensation consultant, FPL Associates, and the consultant performs no other services for management.
​
✓
Compensation programs are designed to reflect our culture of pay for performance—the majority of the NEOs’ Target pay is performance driven.
​
✓
Our NEOs’ severance agreements contain a “double trigger” change in control provision.
​
✓
Ensure our LTI program drives long term value creation and aligns interests of executives and shareholders:
​
-
100% of LTI must be earned–no component is received by executives based solely on time with the company.
​
-
Once awards are earned, vesting occurs over multiple years as a form of retention.
​
-
Dividends on restricted stock units are only paid on earned units and accrue during the vesting period.
​
-
Program contains a claw back provision.
​
What we do not do:
X
We do not offer excessive perquisites or special health and welfare plans to executives.
​
X
Policy prohibits NEOs and Board members from engaging in any hedging transactions with respect to equity securities of the Company held by them, which includes the purchase of any financial instrument designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of such equity securities.
​
Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy
Our primary executive compensation objectives are to:
•
attract, retain and motivate senior management leaders who are capable of advancing our mission and strategy and ultimately, create and maintain our long-term equity value:
​
•
reward senior management in a manner aligned with our financial performance and individual goals; and
​
•
align senior management’s interests with our equity owners’ long-term interests through equity participation and ownership.
​
To achieve our objectives, we deliver executive compensation through a combination of the following components: (1) base salary; (2) annual cash incentive compensation; (3) long-term equity compensation; (4) other employee benefits and perquisites; and (5) severance benefits. In 2014, there was one additional element of compensation, relating to retention bonuses we awarded to certain key employees, including certain of the named executive officers, at the time of our purchase of certain United States assets and the management platform of Centro Properties Group and its managed funds (the “Acquisition”), which was consummated on June 28, 2011.
Say-on-Pay and Say-on-Frequency Votes
Each year, the Compensation Committee considers the outcome of the shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation when making future decisions relating to the compensation of our named executive officers and our executive compensation program and policies. In 2014, shareholders showed strong support of our executive compensation programs, with nearly 98.8% of the votes cast for the approval of the “say-on-pay” proposal at our 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. The Compensation Committee is committed to continuing the alignment of our named executive officers’ compensation with the Company’s performance that the Compensation Committee believes elicited almost unanimous shareholder support.
In light of the voting results with respect to the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation at the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders, the Board decided that Brixmor will hold an advisory vote on the compensation of named executive officers at each annual meeting of shareholders until the next required vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation. As the Dodd-Frank Act requires that such shareholder votes on frequency be held at least
​
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS
once every six years, we currently expect the next shareholder vote on frequency to occur at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting.
Compensation Determination Process
Role of the Compensation Committee and Management
The Compensation Committee of our Board is responsible for determining the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers. At the beginning of each performance cycle, the Compensation Committee approves financial goals designed to align executive pay with company performance and stockholder interests, provide competitive pay opportunities dependent on company performance, retain talent, create optimal stockholder value and mitigate material risk. The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage its own advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities.
Our Chief Executive Officer works closely with the Compensation Committee in managing our executive compensation program and he attends meetings of the Compensation Committee. Because of his daily involvement with the executive team, our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation for the executive officers other than himself. Our Chief Executive Officer does not participate in discussions with the Compensation Committee regarding his own compensation.
Role of the Compensation Consultant
For 2014, we reviewed, and engaged a compensation consultant, FPL, to assist us in evaluating the elements and levels of our executive compensation, including base salaries, annual cash incentive awards and annual equity-based incentives for our named
executive officers. All executive compensation services provided by FPL were conducted under the direction or authority of the Compensation Committee, and all work performed by FPL was pre-approved by the Compensation Committee. FPL’s services to the Compensation Committee included (1) reviewing size and performance statistics for the Company and the Public REIT Peer Group (2) preparing analyses and recommendations of the Company’s five highest executive compensation levels as compared to the Public REIT Peer Group (3) preparing competitive benchmarking on an individual and pay component basis and (4) recommending executive compensation program changes, including to the annual cash incentive awards under our annual bonus plan.
Use of Comparative Market Data
As requested by the Compensation Committee, in 2014, FPL, using their proprietary database that reflects information collected primarily via FPL projects, FPL surveys, and public filings, focused on six compensation components: (1) base salary, (2) target annual bonus, (3) actual annual bonus, (4) target total annual cash compensation, (5) long-term incentive and (6) total remuneration. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion in setting the compensation elements and levels for the named executive officers, took this data into consideration. Actual compensation of our named executive officers may be higher or lower than the compensation for executives in similar positions at comparable companies based on the performance, skills, experience and specific role of the executive officer in the organization.
The Public REIT Peer Group consists of 13 companies comparable to Brixmor in terms of property focus, size and/or geography. In 2014, the Public REIT Peer Group included:
​

​ | Public REIT Peer Group | ​
​ | AvalonBay Communities, Inc. | ​ | ​ | ​ | Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. | ​
​ | CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. | ​ | ​ | ​ | Kimco Realty Corporation | ​
​ | DDR Corp. | ​ | ​ | ​ | Macerich Company | ​
​ | Digital Realty Trust, Inc. | ​ | ​ | ​ | Regency Centers Corporation | ​
​ | Equity One, Inc. | ​ | ​ | ​ | Taubman Centers, Inc. | ​
​ | Federal Realty Investment Trust | ​ | ​ | ​ | Vornado Realty Trust | ​
​ | Weingarten Realty Investors | ​

Compensation Elements
Base Salary
Base salary compensates our executives for performing the day-to-day requirements of their positions and provides them with a minimum level of
cash income predictability and stability with respect to a portion of their total compensation. We believe that the level of an executive officer’s base salary should reflect that executive officer’s performance, experience and breadth of responsibilities, salaries for similar positions within the community and in our
​
23

TABLE OF CONTENTS
industry generally, and any other factors relevant to that particular job. The minimum base salary payable to each named executive officer is set by the terms of an employment agreement entered into with each named executive officer, the material terms of which are summarized in the “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers” below. Each executive officer is reviewed annually and is eligible for a discretionary annual merit increase. Base salaries
may also be adjusted at other times to deal with competitive pressures or changes in job responsibilities.
In March 2014, as part of the annual merit review, the Compensation Committee increased the base salary of each of Messrs. Siegel, Bernstein, Splain and Bruce effective January 1, 2014 as reflected in the table below and determined to maintain Mr. Carroll and Mr. Pappagallo at their current base salaries.
​
The following table reflects our named executive officers’ base salaries at the end of 2013 and 2014.

Name | ​ | ​ | Base salary as of December 31, 2013 | ​ | ​ | Base Salary as of December 31, 2014 | ​
Michael A. Carroll | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 800,000 | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 800,000 | ​ | ​

Mr. Bruce was not employed by the Company after November 28, 2014.
​
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation
In order to motivate our named executive officers to achieve short-term performance goals and tie a portion of their cash compensation to actual performance, each named executive officer is eligible for annual cash incentive awards under our annual bonus plan (“Annual Bonus Plan”) based on achievement of corporate financial targets and, for our named executive officers other than Messrs. Carroll and Pappagallo, individual qualitative goals, each set at the beginning of a fiscal year, with the threshold, target and maximum payout amounts based on a percentage of the named executive officer’s base salary. The named executive officers’ threshold, target and maximum payout amounts were as follows based on the following percentages provided in their respective employment agreements.

Name | ​ | ​ | Threshold | ​ | ​ | Target | ​ | ​ | Maximum | ​
Michael A. Carroll | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 75% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​ | ​
Michael V. Pappagallo | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 75% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​ | ​
Steven F. Siegel | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 49% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 65% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 85% | ​ | ​
Dean Bernstein | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 49% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 65% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 85% | ​ | ​
Steven A. Splain | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 45% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 60% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 80% | ​ | ​
Timothy Bruce | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 49% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 65% | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | 85% | ​ | ​

Corporate Financial Metrics
For fiscal 2014, the Annual Bonus Plan was based on our achievement against three corporate financial metrics, expressed on a per share basis: net operating income, adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) and Adjusted EBITDA. We calculate cash net operating income as total property revenues (excluding straight-line rent and above- and below-market rent amortization) less direct property operating expenses from the properties owned by the Company as well as the Company’s proportionate share of cash net operating income from its unconsolidated joint ventures. We calculate AFFO by adjusting FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling
interests convertible stock (as defined on page 51 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 19, 2015) for the impact of certain non-cash items (such as straight-line rent), recurring capital expenditures, and other items not indicative of the Company’s operating performance. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as set forth on page 53 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 19, 2015). In order to achieve an Annual Bonus Plan payout for each of the three financial metrics, the Company had to achieve a certain threshold for that financial metric. Performance below threshold level would result in a zero payout for that particular performance component.
​
24

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Annual Bonus Plan for 2014 rewarded Messrs. Carroll and Pappagallo based solely on the three corporate financial metrics. For Messrs. Siegel, Bernstein and Splain, the Annual Bonus Plan for fiscal 2014 rewarded each of them 75% based on the foregoing three corporate financial metrics and 25% based on individual performance criteria.
Individual Qualitative Goals
Mr. Siegel’s individual goals included assistance in connection with secondary equity offerings, completion of various equity and debt registration statements, purchase of a joint venture interest and the remaining ERP partnership interests, completion of certain tasks relative to the Company’s captive insurance company and overseeing and resolving various other legal matters. Mr. Bernstein’s individual goals included identifying accretive acquisition
opportunities in and around existing properties and establishing a portfolio management function to guide portfolio based decisions. Mr. Splain’s individual goals included developing the framework to ensure Sarbanes Oxley compliance in our first full year as a public company, assistance with additional equity offerings and implementation of various process improvements to drive efficiencies in the Company’s accounting center.
In connection with fiscal 2014 compensation, the Compensation Committee considered the performance of the three named executive officers and determined that each of Messrs. Siegel and Splain achieved between target and maximum with respect to their performance goals and Mr. Bernstein achieved between threshold and target with respect to his performance goals.
​
2014 Annual Bonus Plan Metrics and Weight
The following table shows the weighting assigned to each NEO for each fiscal 2014 Annual Bonus Plan performance metric:

Name | ​ | ​ | Net Operating Income | ​ | ​ | Adjusted EBITDA | ​ | ​ | Adjusted Funds From Operations | ​ | ​ | Individual Component | ​

Prior to the completion of the IPO, our Board did not have a compensation committee and decisions about executive compensation were made by the board of directors of BPG Subsidiary, Inc., the Company’s direct subsidiary (the “BPG Subsidiary Board”). As a result of the Acquisition and the BPG Subsidiary Board’s determination of the importance of the retention of certain key employees, including each of the named executive officers, the BPG Subsidiary Board awarded retention bonuses intended to incentivize these key employees to remain with us through the applicable payment dates. Retention bonuses were awarded for both short-term and long-term retention; the short-term retention bonuses were paid to the named executive officers in 2011 and 2013.
With respect to the long-term retention bonus (the “Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment”), the respective amounts were payable to the named executive officers, provided the named executive officer had not been terminated for cause or resigned other than as a
result of a “constructive termination” on the first to occur of the following dates: (1) June 28, 2014, (2) the occurrence of a change in control and (3) the date that is six months following specified capital transactions. The consummation of the IPO on November 4, 2013 triggered the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment, which became payable six months following such date. The terms of the long-term Retention bonuses are also set forth in the named executive officers’ respective employment agreements described below under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers.”
The amount of each named executive officer’s Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment was determined based on each respective executive officer’s position, role and responsibilities within the organization, and the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment for each named executive officer is as follows:
​

Name | ​ | ​ | Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment | ​
Michael A. Carroll | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 1,000,000 | ​ | ​
Michael V. Pappagallo(1) | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | — | ​ | ​
Steven F. Siegel | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 400,000 | ​ | ​
Dean Bernstein | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 350,000 | ​ | ​
Steven A. Splain | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 300,000 | ​ | ​
Timothy Bruce | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 350,000 | ​ | ​

(1)
As Mr. Pappagallo did not join the Company until May 20, 2013, he was ineligible for a Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment.
​
​
Long-Term Equity Compensation
In March 2014, the Board approved the establishment of a new long-term incentive program pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) with performance measurement geared toward total shareholder return over a three year period and approved the granting of equity-based awards in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or, at the election of the executive, LTIP Units, which are described below under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Terms of the RSUs and LTIP Units—LTIP Units.” Messrs. Carroll and Pappagallo elected to receive LTIP Units; our other NEOs received RSUs. This plan was put in place to align the Company’s long-term incentive awards with competitive practices and stockholder interests and support the objectives of long-term value creation.
Accordingly, the Board elected to move toward a three-year performance period, with the initial grant under the plan including transition grants with a one and two year performance measurement period.
The aggregate number of RSUs or LTIP Units granted to our named executive officers assuming that the target level of performance is achieved (with the actual number of units to be earned based on the performance criteria described below) was 170,000 for Mr. Carroll, 100,000 for Mr. Pappagallo, 45,000 for Mr. Siegel, 32,500 for Mr. Bernstein, 30,000 for Mr. Splain and 32,500 for Mr. Bruce.
The RSUs and LTIP Units are each subject to the performance-based and service-based vesting and forfeiture conditions described below under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Terms of the RSUs and LTIP Units.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Other Employee Benefits & Perquisites
We provide to all our employees, including our named executive officers, broad-based benefits that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. Our named executive officers are eligible to receive the same benefits, including life and health benefits and vacation, holiday and sick time that are available to all employees. Our employees, including the named executive officers, are also eligible to participate in a tax-qualified 401(k) plan. Employees may contribute to the 401(k), on a pre-tax basis, between 0% and 50% of their annual pay, up to the maximum allowable amount permitted by the IRS, and we match 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s contribution in order to encourage employee participation. Our named executive officers also receive supplemental long-term disability coverage, executive medical and dental benefits and, in limited circumstances, modest perquisites such as automobile use. These other employee benefits perquisites are reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” below and the
accompanying footnote. The board believes that providing modest perquisites is both customary among our peers and necessary for attracting and retaining talent.
Severance Benefits
The board believes that severance arrangements are necessary to attract and retain the talent necessary for our long-term success, and views our severance arrangements as recruitment and retention devices that help secure the continued employment and dedication of our named executive officers, including when we are considering strategic alternatives. Pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements, each of our named executive officers has severance protection in the case of specified qualifying termination events. The severance payments under these agreements are contingent upon the affected executive’s compliance with specified post-termination restrictive covenants. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for descriptions of payments to be made under these agreements.
​
Compensation Actions Taken During 2015
​
In March 2015, the Compensation Committee determined that the named executive officer salaries would not be increased and would remain at current levels. Also in March 2015, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board approved annual equity-based awards to the named executive officers under the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).
Equity-Based Awards
In March 2014, the Board approved the establishment of a new long-term incentive program with performance measurement geared toward total shareholder return over a three year period and approved the granting of equity-based awards in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or, at the election of the executive, LTIP Units. This plan was put in place to align the long-term incentive awards with competitive practices and stockholder interests and support the objectives of long-term value creation.
The aggregate number of RSUs or LTIP Units assuming that the target level of performance is achieved (with the actual number of units to be earned based on the performance criteria described below) is 147,826 for Mr. Carroll, 86,957 for Mr. Pappagallo, 39,130 for Mr. Siegel, 28,261 for Mr. Bernstein and 26,087 for Mr. Splain.
The RSUs and LTIP Units are each subject to the performance-based and service-based vesting and forfeiture conditions described below.
Vesting Conditions Applicable to RSUs and LTIP Units
Under the terms of the RSUs and LTIP Units (collectively, the “units”), the number of units actually earned is determined based on performance during a specified performance period, and the earned units are then further subject to time-based vesting conditions. The units have one-year and three-year performance based vesting conditions.
The performance criteria for the three-year performance component of the units which comprises two-thirds of the total award grant are a relative total shareholder return in relation to a peer index (“Relative TSR”) (60% of such units), an absolute total shareholder return (“Absolute TSR”) (20% of such units), and a company-wide strategic objective (20% of such units), in each case for the period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017. The total number of units that are earned based on the relative and absolute total shareholder return are each based on an achievement factor which, in each case, ranges from a 0% payout for below threshold performance, to 50% for threshold performance, to 100% for target performance, and up to 150% for maximum performance. For actual performance between the specified threshold, target and maximum levels, the resulting achievement percentage will be adjusted on a linear basis. For units that are earned pursuant to the three-year performance component, 50% become vested as of the calculation date, 25% become vested on January 1, 2019, and the remaining
​
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS
25% become vested on January 1, 2020, in each case subject to continued employment.
For the Relative TSR component, we use the FTSE NAREIT Equity Shopping Center Index (the “Index”) as the peer index. No units are earned for
below-threshold performance and the threshold, target, and maximum performance levels (measured on a compounded annual basis over the relevant measurement period) are:
​

​ | Level of Achievement | ​ | ​ | Relative TSR Achieved | ​ | ​ | Percentage of Award Earned | ​
​ | Below Threshold | ​ | ​ | > 250 bps below index return | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​
​ | Threshold | ​ | ​ | 250 bps or less below index return | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​
​ | Target | ​ | ​ | 100 bps above index return | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​
​ | Maximum | ​ | ​ | 500 bps or more over index return | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​

For the Absolute TSR component, no units are earned for below-threshold performance and the threshold, target, and maximum performance levels (measured on a compounded annual basis over the relevant measurement period) are:

​ | Level of Achievement | ​ | ​ | Absolute TSR | ​ | ​ | Percentage of Award Earned | ​
​ | Below Threshold | ​ | ​ | <6.0% | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​
​ | Threshold | ​ | ​ | 6.0% | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​
​ | Target | ​ | ​ | 9.0% | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​
​ | Maximum | ​ | ​ | 12.0% | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​

The performance criteria for the one-year component of the units are Adjusted EBITDA per share (37.5% of such units), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) per share (37.5% of such units) and individual performance goals (25% of such units), in each case for the period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2015. The total number of units that are earned based on the Adjusted EBITDA per share and AFFO per share targets is based on an achievement factor which, in each case, ranges from a 0% payout for below threshold performance, to 50% for threshold performance, to 100% for target performance, and up to 150% for maximum performance. For actual performance between the specified threshold, target and maximum levels, the resulting achievement percentage will be adjusted on a linear basis. Following the calculation date of the number of units earned, 50% of the earned units become vested as of the calculation date, 25% become vested on January 1, 2017 and the remaining 25% become vested on January 1, 2018, in each case subject to continued employment.
In general, unvested units are forfeited after the final calculation date applicable to any award to the extent performance criteria do not result in the units becoming earned and as of any termination of employment. Upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause, or a resignation by the executive that is as a result of good reason or a retirement (each as defined in the award agreements), a portion of the units will be eligible to become vested, based on actual performance through the date of termination (or target performance, in the case of company-wide strategic objectives or individual performance criteria) and subject to
proration based on the number of days during the applicable performance period that the executive was employed.
Upon a change in control during any performance period, a portion of the units will become earned and vested based on actual performance through the date of termination (or target performance, in the case of company-wide strategic objectives or individual performance criteria).
LTIP Units are a class of partnership units that are intended to qualify as “profits interests” in the OP for federal income tax purposes that, subject to certain conditions, including vesting, are convertible by the holder into common units of partnership interest in the OP (“OP common units”). LTIP Units initially will not have full parity, on a per unit basis, with OP common units with respect to ordinary and liquidating distributions. Upon the occurrence of specified events, LTIP Units can over time achieve full parity with OP common units, at which time vested LTIP Units may be converted into OP common units on a one-for-one basis. Holders of OP common units (other than the Company, BPG Subsidiary Inc. or the General Partner) may, in turn, redeem their OP common units for cash based upon the market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the General Partner’s election, exchange their OP common units for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for splits, unit distributions and reclassifications.
Dividends on Units
Under the terms of the RSU award agreement, each earned RSU will accrue dividends with respect to the
​
28

TABLE OF CONTENTS
underlying shares of common stock. Accrued dividend amounts will be payable in cash as and when the underlying RSU vests and is settled.
Under the terms of the LTIP unit award agreement, 10% of the dividends declared on regular units will be payable on a current basis on LTIP Units before such units vest. In addition, after the end of each performance period applicable to a tranche with respect to the LTIP Units that become vested, the executive will also be deemed to have earned an additional number of LTIP Units with a value equal to the value of the other 90% of dividends issued during the performance period with respect to such vested LTIP Units. These additional LTIP Units would become vested as of the applicable calculation date.
Covenants and Clawback
Under the award agreements, if the Company’s financial results are restated or are materially misstated due in whole or in part to intentional fraud or misconduct of an executive who receives RSUs or LTIP Units and the benefits provided under the award agreements would be less, based on the corrected
financial results, by a vote of a majority of the independent directors of the Board, the Company may recover from the executive an amount equal to the after-tax proceeds received upon the sale or disposition of the equity award and any shares issued in respect thereof.
Annual Cash Incentive Plan Financial Metrics
On February 24, 2015, the Compensation Committee determined that the Annual Bonus Plan for fiscal 2015 will reward Michael A. Carroll and Mr. Pappagallo 75% based on corporate financial metrics and 25% based on specified strategic goals.
The threshold, target and maximum payout amounts will continue to be based on a percentage of their base salary for fiscal 2015. The threshold, target and maximum payout amounts for Mr. Pappagallo will be unchanged from fiscal 2014. The threshold, target and maximum payout amounts for Mr. Carroll for fiscal 2015 will be as follows:

​ | Threshold | ​ | ​ | Target | ​ | ​ | Maximum | ​
​ | 100% | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​ | ​ | 200% | ​

Amounts included in this column reflect the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment payable to Messrs. Carroll, Siegel, Bernstein, Splain and Bruce. The terms of the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment are summarized under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Acquisition-Related Retention Bonus” above. As Mr. Pappagallo did not join the Company until May 20, 2013, he was ineligible for a Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment. In addition to a Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment of  $350,000, the amount reported in this column for Mr. Bruce reflects a payment of  $251,388, which represents his target payout under the Annual Bonus Plan, pro-rated for the number of days he was employed by the Company in 2014, to which he was entitled under the terms of his employment agreement in connection with his termination.

Amounts reported in fiscal 2014 include the aggregate grant date fair value of the RSUs or LTIP Units, as applicable, granted to the NEO in 2014, each calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Messrs. Carroll and Pappagallo elected to receive LTIP Units and Messrs. Siegel, Bernstein, Splain and Bruce received RSUs. The assumptions made when calculating the grant date fair value of the RSUs and LTIP Units are found in Note 12 (Stock Based Compensation) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Amounts reported in fiscal 2014 reflect cash incentive awards earned by our named executive officers under the Annual Bonus Plan. These awards were based on pre-established, performance-based targets, the outcome of which was uncertain at the time the targets were established, and, therefore, are reportable as “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” rather than as “Bonus.” Additional information regarding the Annual Bonus Payments is described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements—Annual Cash Incentive Compensation.”

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table
​
Prior to the IPO, BPG Subsidiary’s board of directors had primary responsibility for compensation decisions relating to our named executive officers and entered into new employment agreements and equity arrangements with our named executive officers, reflecting the compensation objectives and philosophy of our new ultimate parent investors. BPG Subsidiary entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Pappagallo and Bruce upon their commencement of employment with the Company. The principal terms of each of these agreements are summarized below, except with respect to potential payments and other benefits upon specified terminations or a “change in control” (as defined in the employment agreements), which are summarized below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”
Employment Agreements with our Named Executive Officers
The employment agreements with each named executive officer contain substantially similar terms. Each of the employment agreements provides for a term ending on November 1, 2014 (or, in the case of Mr. Pappagallo, May 20, 2016), and extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless either the Company or the executive elects not to extend the term. Under the employment agreements, each executive is eligible to receive a minimum base salary, as set forth in the applicable agreement, and an annual bonus based on the achievement of specified financial and individual goals for fiscal years 2014 and beyond. If these goals are achieved, each executive may receive an annual incentive cash bonus equal to a percentage of his or her base salary as provided below. Each executive officer is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other executive officers generally.
In addition, each employment agreement, other than that for Mr. Pappagallo who joined the Company
following the Acquisition, provides for the following cash award in 2014:
•
Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment—the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment, described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Elements— Retention Bonuses,” payable on the first to occur of the following dates: (1) June 28, 2014; (2) the day that is six months after specified capital transactions; and (3) the occurrence of a change in control, provided that such executive has not been terminated for cause or resigned other than as a result of a constructive termination prior to the payment date. The consummation of the IPO on November 4, 2013 triggered the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment, which became payable six months following such date.
​
Under the employment agreements, a “constructive termination” is deemed to occur upon specified events, including, a material reduction in the executive’s annual or incentive compensation, where the executive’s compensation or other material employee benefit is not paid when due, upon a material reduction in the executive’s authority or responsibilities, upon specified relocation events or where BPG Subsidiary elects not to renew the executive’s employment agreement, subject, in each case, to specified notice and cure periods.
Following are the individual provisions of the named executive officers’ employment agreement.

Terms of the RSUs and LTIP Units
In order to facilitate the transition to equity-based awards following the IPO, the initial grant of RSUs and LTIP Units (collectively, the “units”) were divided into
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
three tranches, with the award more heavily weighted on the third tranche, which has a three-year performance period. The first and second tranches vest over one-year and two-year performance periods, respectively. Each tranche is subject to separate performance and service based vesting conditions.
Under the terms of the award agreements, each executive can achieve a threshold, target, and maximum number of units in respect of each tranche. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period, and the earned units are then further subject to time-based vesting conditions.
The performance criteria for the first tranche of units, which comprises one-sixth (1/6th) of the total award grant, are Adjusted EBITDA per share (37.5% of such units), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) per share (37.5% of such units) and individual performance goals (25% of such units), in each case
for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2014. The total number of units that are earned based on the Adjusted EBITDA per share and AFFO per share targets is based on an achievement factor which, in each case, ranges from a 0% payout for below threshold performance, to 50% for threshold performance, to 100% for target performance, and up to 150% for maximum performance. For actual performance between the specified threshold, target and maximum levels, the resulting achievement percentage was adjusted on a linear basis. For units that were earned based on the Company’s performance during the performance period, 50% of the earned units became vested as of December 31, 2014, and the remaining 50% become vested on January 1, 2016, in each case subject to continued employment.
The table below sets forth the threshold, target, and maximum performance goals, on a per share amount, for each of the corporate performance criteria for the first tranche of units.
​

​ | Level of Achievement | ​ | ​ | Adjusted EBITDA per share Achieved | ​ | ​ | AFFO per share Achieved | ​ | ​ | Percentage of Award Earned | ​
​ | Below Threshold | ​ | ​ | >$2.74 | ​ | ​ | >$1.21 | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​
​ | Threshold | ​ | ​ | $2.74 | ​ | ​ | $1.21 | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​
​ | Target | ​ | ​ | $2.75 | ​ | ​ | $1.23 | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​
​ | Maximum | ​ | ​ | $2.77 | ​ | ​ | $1.26 | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​

For the performance period from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the Company achieved Adjusted EBITDA per share of  $2.76, resulting in an achievement factor of 125% and AFFO per share of $1.25, resulting in an achievement factor of 133.00%. Individual goals for the January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 performance period included, for Mr. Carroll, optimizing operations, completing financial initiatives, launching of the Company’s Raising the Bar initiative internally and externally, and leading secondary equity offerings; for Mr. Pappagallo, attaining investment grade ratings, assisting in secondary equity offerings and various operational improvements, including through the use of technologies for Mr. Siegel, assistance in connection with secondary equity offerings, completion of various equity and debt registration statements, purchase of a joint venture interest and the remaining ERP partnership interests, completion of certain tasks relative to the Company’s captive insurance company and overseeing and resolving various other legal matters; for Mr. Bernstein, identifying accretive acquisition opportunities in and around existing properties and establishing a portfolio management function to guide portfolio based decisions; and for Mr. Splain, developing the framework to ensure Sarbanes Oxley compliance in our first full year as a public company, assistance with additional equity offerings and implementation of
various process improvements to drive efficiencies in the Company’s accounting center. The Compensation Committee considered the performance of the named executive officers and determined that they achieved their goals that were necessary to receive the target amount.
The performance criteria for the second tranche of units, which comprises one-third (1/3rd) of the total award grant, are Adjusted EBITDA per share (37.5% of such units), AFFO per share (37.5% of such units) and individual performance goals (25% of such units), in each case for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2015. The total number of units that are earned based on the Adjusted EBITDA per share and AFFO per share targets is based on an achievement factor which, in each case, ranges from a 0% payout for below threshold performance, to 50% for threshold performance, to 100% for target performance, and up to 150% for maximum performance. For actual performance between the specified threshold, target and maximum levels, the resulting achievement percentage will be adjusted on a linear basis. For units that are earned, 50% become vested as of December 31, 2015, and the remaining 50% become vested on January 1, 2017, in each case subject to continued employment. The Compensation Committee set the performance threshold for Adjusted EBITDA per share and AFFO per share at
​

what it believed to be a challenging level. Similarly, the Compensation Committee set what it believed to be challenging individual goals for each named executive officer.
The performance criteria for the third tranche of units, which comprises 50% of the total award grant, are a relative total shareholder return in relation to a peer index (“Relative TSR”) (60% of such units), an absolute total shareholder return (“Absolute TSR”) (20% of such units), and a company-wide strategic objective (20% of such units), in each case for the period beginning October 29, 2013 and ending December 31, 2016. The total number of units that are earned based on the relative and absolute total shareholder return are each based on an achievement factor which, in each case, ranges from a 0% payout for below threshold performance, to 50% for threshold
performance, to 100% for target performance, and up to 150% for maximum performance. For actual performance between the specified threshold, target and maximum levels, the resulting achievement percentage will be adjusted on a linear basis. For units that are earned, 50% become vested as of December 31, 2016, 25% become vested on January 1, 2018, and the remaining 25% become vested on January 1, 2019, in each case subject to continued employment.
For the Relative TSR component, we use the FTSE NAREIT Equity Shopping Center Index (the “Index”) as the peer index. No units are earned for below-threshold performance and the threshold, target, and maximum performance levels (measured on a compounded annual basis over the relevant measurement period) are:
​

​ | Level of Achievement | ​ | ​ | Relative TSR Achieved | ​ | ​ | Percentage of Award Earned | ​
​ | Below Threshold | ​ | ​ | > 250 bps below index return | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​
​ | Threshold | ​ | ​ | 250 bps or less below index return | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​
​ | Target | ​ | ​ | 100 bps above index return | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​
​ | Maximum | ​ | ​ | 500 bps or more over index return | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​

For the Absolute TSR component, no units are earned for below-threshold performance and the threshold, target, and maximum performance levels (measured on a compounded annual basis over the relevant measurement period) are:

​ | Level of Achievement | ​ | ​ | Absolute TSR | ​ | ​ | Percentage of Award Earned | ​
​ | Below Threshold | ​ | ​ | <6.0% | ​ | ​ | 0% | ​
​ | Threshold | ​ | ​ | 6.0% | ​ | ​ | 50% | ​
​ | Target | ​ | ​ | 9.0% | ​ | ​ | 100% | ​
​ | Maximum | ​ | ​ | 12.0% | ​ | ​ | 150% | ​

In general, unvested units are forfeited after the final calculation date applicable to any award to the extent performance criteria do not result in the units becoming earned and as of any termination of employment. Upon a termination of employment by the company without cause, or a resignation by the executive that is as a result of good reason or a retirement (each as defined in the award agreements), a portion of the units will be eligible to become vested, based on actual performance through the date of termination (or target performance, in the case of company-wide strategic objectives or individual performance criteria) and subject to proration based on the number of days during the applicable performance period that the executive was employed.
Upon a change in control during any performance period, a portion of the units will become earned and vested based on actual performance through the date of termination (or target performance, in the case of company-wide strategic objectives or individual performance criteria).
LTIP Units
LTIP Units are a class of partnership units that are intended to qualify as “profits interests” in the OP for federal income tax purposes that, subject to certain conditions, including vesting, are convertible by the holder into OP Units. LTIP Units initially will not have full parity, on a per unit basis, with OP Units with respect to ordinary and liquidating distributions. Upon the occurrence of specified events, LTIP Units can over time achieve full parity with OP Units, at which time vested LTIP Units may be converted into OP Units on a one-for-one basis. Holders of OP Units (other than the Company, BPG Subsidiary Inc. or the General Partner) may, in turn, redeem their OP Units for cash based upon the market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the General Partner’s election, exchange their OP Units for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for splits, unit distributions and reclassifications.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Dividends on Units
Under the terms of the RSU award agreement, each earned RSU will accrue dividends with respect to the underlying shares of common stock. Accrued dividend amounts will be payable in cash as and when the underlying RSU vests and is settled.
Under the terms of the LTIP unit award agreement, 10% of the dividends declared on regular units will be payable on a current basis on LTIP Units before such units vest. In addition, after the end of each performance period applicable to a tranche with respect to the LTIP Units that become vested, the executive will also be deemed to have earned an additional number of LTIP Units with a value equal to the value of the other 90% of dividends issued during the performance period with respect to such vested LTIP Units. These additional LTIP Units would become vested as of the applicable calculation date.
Covenants and Clawback
Under the award agreements, if the Company’s financial results are restated or are materially misstated due in whole or in part to intentional fraud or misconduct of an executive who receives RSUs or LTIP Units and the benefits provided under the award agreements would be less, based on the corrected financial results, by a vote of a majority of the independent directors of the Board, the Company may recover from the executive an amount equal to the after-tax proceeds received upon the sale or disposition of the equity award and any shares issued in respect thereof.

Value received on vesting is based on the closing price of our common stock on the applicable vesting date. For purposes of this table, it is assumed that one LTIP Unit is equal in value to one share of our common stock. The LTIP Units do not realize their full economic value until certain conditions are met, as described under the heading “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table — Terms of the RSUs and LTIP Units” elsewhere in this proxy statement and such conditions have not been met for the LTIP Units included in this table.
​
​
Pension Benefits for Fiscal 2014
We have no pension benefits for the executive officers.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for Fiscal 2014
We have no nonqualified defined contribution or other nonqualified compensation plans for executive officers.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The following table describes the potential payments and benefits that would have been payable to our named executive officers under existing plans and contractual arrangements assuming (1) a termination of employment and/or (2) a change of control (“CIC”) occurred, in each case, on December 31, 2014, the last
business day of fiscal 2014. The amounts shown in the table do not include payments and benefits to the extent they are provided generally to all salaried employees upon termination of employment and do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of the named executive officers. These include distributions of plan balances under our 401(k) savings plan and similar items. Except as noted in footnote 5, for purposes of the table below, a “Qualifying Termination” refers to a termination by BPG Subsidiary without “cause” (as defined in the named executive officers’ employment agreements) or by a named executive officer as a result of a “constructive termination” (as defined under “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table—Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers”).

Under their employment agreements, each named executive officer is entitled to receive a cash severance amount that consists of  (A) an annual bonus in an amount equal to his or her target bonus, pro-rated based on the number of days during the fiscal year that such executive was employed prior to the termination date, plus (B):
​
•
in the case of a Qualifying Termination not in connection with a change in control, an amount equal to the sum of  (x) 200% of base salary, and (y) the sum of such executive’s annual bonuses payable (if any) in respect of the two fiscal years (the “Reference Fiscal Years”) immediately prior to the termination date (or, as to Mr. Pappagallo, if the termination date occurs in 2013 or 2014, the sum of his annual bonuses will be deemed to be two times the annual target bonus applicable for the fiscal year terminated) (the total of  (x) and (y), the “Severance Target”); provided that if either Reference Fiscal Year is less than a full 12 months, then the annual bonus payable in respect of such fiscal year will be annualized prior to making the foregoing calculation; and
​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
•
in the case of a Qualifying Termination that occurs on or within 45 days after a change in control, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of  (x) the Severance Target over (y) the sum of  (A) the value (as calculated by reference to the prices paid in connection with the change in control transaction) of such named executive officer’s Class B Units in the Partnerships (and/or any cash or property delivered in exchange for or as a distribution in respect of such Class B Units) and (B) an amount equal to the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment (if such payment has previously been paid) (and, as to Mr. Pappagallo, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of  (x) the Severance Target over (y) the value (as calculated by reference to the prices paid in connection with the change in control transaction) of such named executive officer’s Class B Units in the Partnerships (and/or any cash or property delivered in exchange for or as a distribution in respect of such Class B Units)). The amounts reported under “Qualifying Termination, CIC” assume, based on the fair market value of the shares of our common stock received by the named executive officers in respect of such named executive officers’ Class B Units in the Partnerships as of December 31, 2014, that, if a Qualifying Termination in connection with a change in control had occurred on December 31, 2014, the Severance Target for each of the named executive officers would not have exceeded the sum of the value of such shares of common stock and the Brixmor LTIP Retention Payment and, therefore, that no additional cash severance for the named executive officers would have been paid.
​
(2)
Reflects the cost of providing the executive officer with a continuation of medical, dental and vision insurance under COBRA for a period of twelve months following the date of termination.
​
(3)
The Company’s named executive officers’ payments upon termination that become subject to tax under Code Section 4999 entitle them to a modified gross-up. In order for the executives to receive any gross-up on such payments, the payments must exceed the limit established under the Code for determining any tax is due by 120%. All of the named executive officers’ payments were below this limit (except for Mr. Pappagallo) and so would not have triggered a tax under Code Section 4999. Mr. Pappagallo’s payments exceeded the Code limit by more than 120%, so he would have been entitled to a gross-up payment.
​
(4)
In addition to the other amounts included in the table above, if a named executive officer were terminated as a result of a Qualifying Termination, such individual would receive:
​
•
full vesting of all unvested time-vesting and exit-vesting shares of restricted stock of the Company if the value of the Class A Units of BRE Retail Holdco L.P. and Blackstone Retail Transaction II Holdco L.P. held by Blackstone and the shares of the Company and BPG Subsidiary received in respect thereof (collectively, the “Blackstone Equity”) immediately prior to the termination date represents at least a 15% internal rate of return in respect of such Blackstone Equity, measured prior to any taxes payable on such cash;
​
•
full vesting of all unvested time-vesting and exit-vesting shares of restricted stock of the Company if (A) such Qualifying Termination occurs within two years following a transaction in which all or substantially all of the business operations and assets of the Company, have been combined with the business and assets of another business owned and controlled (at the time of the combination) by a third party not affiliated with Blackstone and the Company’s (a “Combination Transaction”) does not constitute more than 50% of the net assets of the combined businesses and (B) the value of the Blackstone Equity immediately prior to the termination date represents at least a 15% internal rate of return in respect of such Blackstone Equity, measured prior to any taxes payable on such cash; or
​
•
vesting of the number of unvested time-vesting shares of restricted stock of the Company that would have vested had such executive remained continuously employed for an additional six months.
​
All of the exit-vesting and time-vesting shares of our restricted stock received by our named executive officers in exchange for their Class B Units of the Partnerships were eligible to vest solely in connection with a Qualifying Termination because the value of the Blackstone Equity as of December 31, 2014 represented at least a 15% internal rate of return in respect of such Blackstone Equity, measured prior to any taxes payable on such cash. In addition, the amounts reported under “Qualifying Termination, CIC” assume that both the time-vesting and exit-vesting shares of our common stock received by our named executive officers in exchange for their Class B Units of the Partnerships would have vested if a Qualifying Termination had occurred on December 31, 2014 in connection with a Combination Transaction. The amounts reported are based on the fair market value of our common stock on December 31, 2014.

In addition to the vesting of time-vesting and exit vesting shares of restricted stock of the Company, if a named executive officer were terminated as a result of a Qualifying Termination, such individual would receive a portion of the RSU or LTIP Unit awards, as applicable, granted in 2014, with the number determined as follows:
​
•
the remaining 50% of the tranche 1 award that is scheduled to vest on January 1, 2016
​
•
with respect to tranche 2 of the award, based on actual performance through the most recently completed fiscal quarter, pro-rated based on the number of fiscal quarters completed prior to the termination date relative to the number of fiscal quarters in the relevant performance period (plus, in the case of LTIP Units, any LTIP Units earned in respect of dividend equivalents); and
​
•
with respect to tranche 3 of the award, based on actual performance through the termination date (plus, in the case of LTIP Units, any LTIP Units earned in respect of dividend equivalents);
​
•
provided, in each case, that any performance criteria based on achievement of company-wide strategic objectives or satisfaction of individual performance criteria will be deemed to be achieved or satisfied at target level.
​
For purposes of the foregoing, “Qualifying Termination” means means a termination of the individual’s employment (w) by the Company without “Cause” (as that term is defined in the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan, except that termination of the individual’s employment by the Company for poor performance (as determined by a majority of the management committee) shall constitute a termination by the Company for “Cause”) or while the individual has a Disability (as defined in the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan), (x) if the individual’s written employment agreement with the Company (or any affiliate) includes a definition of  “good reason” or “constructive termination,” by the individual for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (as defined in such written employment agreement) (y) which is a retirement, or (z) resulting from the individual’s death.
In addition, in the event of a Change in Control during the named executive officer’s employment and prior to the completion of any applicable performance period, such individual would receive a portion of the RSUs or LTIP Unit awards, as applicable, granted in 2014, with the number determined as follows:
•
the remaining 50% of the tranche 1 award that is scheduled to vest on January 1, 2016
​
•
with respect to tranche 2 of the award, based on actual performance through the most recently completed fiscal quarter, pro-rated based on the number of fiscal quarters completed prior to the date of the Change in Control relative to the number of fiscal quarters in the relevant performance period (plus, in the case of LTIP Units, any LTIP Units earned in respect of dividend equivalents); and
​
•
with respect to tranche 3 of the award, based on actual performance through the date of the Change in Control (plus, in the case of LTIP Units, any LTIP Units earned in respect of dividend equivalents);
​
•
provided, in each case, that any performance criteria based on achievement of company-wide strategic objectives or satisfaction of individual performance criteria will be deemed to be achieved or satisfied at target level.

Pursuant to the severance terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Bruce received cash severance of $1,755,536, representing the sum of his 2014 target annual bonus, pro-rated based on the number of days during the fiscal year that he was employed prior to his termination date plus (x) 200% of his base salary, and (y) the sum of his annual bonuses payable in respect of the two fiscal years immediately prior to the termination date. Mr. Bruce is also entitled to a continuation of medical, dental and vision insurance under COBRA for a period of twelve months following the date of his termination. In addition, pursuant to the terms of his restricted stock award agreement, 95,564 outstanding shares of restricted stock of the Company vested upon his termination and pursuant to the terms of his RSU Award Agreement, 10,193 outstanding RSUs held by Mr. Bruce vested upon his termination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Ownership of Securities
The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Outstanding Brixmor Interests as of April 6, 2015 by: (1) each person known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding voting securities of Brixmor Property Group Inc., (2) each of the named executive officers, (3) each of our directors and (4) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has
or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

The address of each of Mr. Schwarzman and each of the other entities listed in this footnote is c/o The Blackstone Group L.P., 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154.
As of January 9, 2015, Blackstone entities have pledged, hypothecated or granted security interests in approximately 144.2 million shares of our common stock pursuant to a margin loan agreement with customary default provisions, and may pledge additional shares under such margin loan agreement in the future. In the event of a default under the margin loan agreement, the secured parties may foreclose upon any and all shares of common stock pledged to them and may seek recourse against the borrower.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors, a company’s chief accounting officer and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a company’s common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC and the NYSE. Executive officers, directors, the chief accounting officer and beneficial owners with more than 10% of our common stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on our review of copies of such reports and written representations from our executive officers, directors, Blackstone and Centerbridge, we believe that our executive officers, directors, Blackstone and Centerbridge complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2014, except that each of Messrs. Carroll, Pappagallo, Siegel, Bernstein, Splain and Bruce and Ms. Singh had one late filing in which each failed to report one transaction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Transactions with Related Persons
Our Board of Directors recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests and/or improper valuation (or the perception thereof). Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy on transactions with related persons that is in conformity with the requirements upon issuers having publicly-held common stock that is listed on the NYSE. Under the policy, a “related person” (as defined as in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) must promptly disclose to our General Counsel any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is anticipated would be reportable by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. The General Counsel will then promptly communicate that information to our board of directors. No related person transaction will be executed without the
approval or ratification of our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote on a related person transaction in which they have an interest.
In addition, the related person transaction policy provides that the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, in connection with any approval or ratification of a related person transaction involving a non-employee director or director nominee, should consider whether such transaction would compromise the director or director nominee’s status as an “independent,” “outside,” or “non-employee” director, as applicable, under our categorical independence standards included in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the rules and regulations of the SEC, the NYSE and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
​
IPO Property Transfers
​
In 2013, in connection with the IPO, the Company acquired interests in 43 properties (the “Acquired Properties”) from certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone in exchange for 15,877,791 OP Units having a value equivalent to the value of the Acquired Properties. In connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Properties, the Company intended to repay approximately $74.1 million of indebtedness to Blackstone attributable to certain of the Acquired Properties, approximately $66.6 million of which was repaid with a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO and approximately $7.5 million of which was repaid on March 7, 2014.
Also in connection with the IPO, the Company created a separate series of interest in the Operating Partnership that allocates to certain funds affiliated with Blackstone and Centerbridge Partners L.P.
(owners of the Operating Partnership prior to the IPO) (the “pre-IPO owners”) all of the economic consequences of ownership of the Operating Partnership’s interests in 47 properties that the Operating Partnership historically held in its portfolio (the “Non-Core Properties”). The Operating Partnership caused all but one of the Non-Core Properties to be transferred to the pre-IPO Owners on January 15, 2014. The remaining Non-Core Property was transferred to the mortgage lender with respect to such property on March 27, 2014, at which time the separate series of interest in the Operating Partnership relating to the Non-Core Properties was terminated.
We refer to the above-described contributions and distributions as the “IPO Property Transfers.”
​
Property Management Agreements
​
We have been managing certain properties owned by Blackstone and its affiliates. Following the IPO, we continued to manage the Non-Core Properties pursuant to management agreements for which we received customary management, leasing and other fees.
Property and asset management fees received from Blackstone and its affiliates were $1.745 million for
the year ended December 31, 2014. The fees and expense reimbursements payable to us under the property and asset management agreements are generally consistent with what would be charged to a third party owner that is not affiliated with Blackstone. The agreements are generally terminable by the owner in the event of a sale or upon 30 days’ written notice.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Stockholders’ Agreement
​
In 2013, in connection with the IPO, we entered into a stockholders’ agreement with Blackstone and its affiliates. This agreement requires us to nominate a number of individuals designated by Blackstone for election as our directors at any meeting of our stockholders (each a “Blackstone Director”) such that, upon the election of each such individual, and each other individual nominated by or at the direction of our board of directors or a duly-authorized committee of the board, as a director of our company, the number of Blackstone Directors serving as directors of our company will be equal to: (1) if our pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 50% of the total Outstanding Brixmor Interests as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is greater than 50% of the total number of directors comprising our board of directors; (2) if our pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 40% (but less than 50%) of the total Outstanding Brixmor Interests as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 40% of the total number of directors comprising our board of directors; (3) if our pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 30% (but less than 40%) of the total Outstanding Brixmor Interests as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 30% of the total number of directors comprising our board of directors; (4) if our pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 20% (but less than 30%) of the total Outstanding Brixmor Interests as of the record date for such
meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 20% of the total number of directors comprising our board of directors; and (5) if our pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 5% (but less than 20%) of the total Outstanding Brixmor Interests as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 10% of the total number of directors comprising our board of directors. For so long as the stockholders’ agreement remains in effect, Blackstone Directors may be removed only with the consent of Blackstone. In the case of a vacancy on our board created by the removal or resignation of a Blackstone Director, the stockholders’ agreement will require us to nominate an individual designated by Blackstone for election to fill the vacancy. In addition, the stockholders’ agreement and our charter and bylaws require that certain amendments to our charter and bylaws, and any change to the number of our directors, will require the consent of Blackstone.
On January 16, 2015, when Blackstone ceased to own a majority of the shares of our common stock, Nadeem Meghji, a Blackstone Director, resigned from our board of directors to ensure that Blackstone employees no longer constituted a majority of our board of directors.
The stockholders’ agreement will remain in effect until Blackstone is no longer entitled to nominate a Blackstone Director pursuant to the stockholders’ agreement, unless Blackstone requests that it terminate at an earlier date.
​
Exchange Agreement
​
On November 10, 2014, we exchanged all Outstanding BPG Subsidiary Shares for shares of our common stock pursuant to the exchange agreement with the holders
of the Outstanding BPG Subsidiary Shares entered into at the time of the IPO.
​
Registration Rights Agreement
​
In 2013, in connection with the IPO, we entered into a registration rights agreement that provides Blackstone an unlimited number of  “demand” registrations and customary “piggyback” registration rights. Under the registration rights agreement, we also agreed to register the delivery to the exchanging party of shares of our common stock upon exchange or redemption
of Outstanding OP Units or, if such registration is not permitted, the resale of such shares of common stock by such exchanging party. The registration rights agreement also provides that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the registration rights holders against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Indemnification Agreements
​
In 2013, we entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Maryland law and our charter against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as
to which they could be indemnified. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors or executive officers, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.
​
Other
​
We have engaged Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., an affiliate of Blackstone, to provide certain financial consulting services for aggregate fees of  $1.3 million in connection with the public offerings of our common
stock by certain stockholders in July and November of 2014. Such fees were reimbursed to the Company by the underwriters in full.

Stockholder Proposals for the
2016 Annual Meeting
If any stockholder wishes to propose a matter for consideration at our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proposal must be mailed to our Secretary, Brixmor Property Group Inc., 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170 in accordance with the SEC’s stockholder proposal rule (Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) or the advance notice provisions of our Bylaws. To be eligible under the SEC’s stockholder proposal rule (Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) for inclusion in our 2016 Annual Meeting Proxy Statement and form of proxy to be made available in April 2016, the proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary on or before December 22, 2015. Failure to deliver a proposal in accordance with this procedure may result in it not being deemed timely received.
Our bylaws currently provide that, for nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Company, and, in the case of business other than nominations of persons for election to the Board, such other business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day nor later than the close of business, Eastern Time, on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the date the company’s proxy statement is released to shareholders determined in accordance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act, for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than thirty (30) days from the first
anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, in order for the notice to be timely, such notice must be so delivered not earlier than the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business, Eastern Time, on the later of the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors in increased, and there is no public announcement of such action at least one hundred thirty (130) days prior to the first anniversary of the date the company’s proxy statement is released to shareholders for the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice will be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is delivered to the secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.
A stockholder’s notice must contain certain information specified by our bylaws about the stockholder, its affiliates and any proposed business or nominee for election as a director, including information about the economic interest of the stockholder, its affiliates and any proposed nominee in us.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Householding of Proxy Materials
SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” provides cost savings for companies. Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding
materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker. You can also request prompt delivery of a copy of the proxy statement and annual report by contacting Steven F. Siegel, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10170, (212) 869-3000.
