Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

The reported amount of compensation actually paid to our CEO, and the reported average amount of compensation actually paid to our non-CEO executive officers, is primarily driven by the value of our executives’ unvested equity. Further, as discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our TSR is a component metric in our long-term incentive plan, and Core FFO per share is a component metric of our cash incentive bonus. As a result, the TSR figures reported above have a strong correlation to our executives’ calculated CAP, while Core FFO per share has a lesser degree of impact on and correlation to the compensation actually paid figures.
