On February 7, 2012, the compensation committee determined that the LTIP Units granted under the LTIP on February 28, 2011 had vested at the 150% level based on the Company's percentile ranking in terms of Total Return per common stock share to the Total Return of a group of peer REITs during the period of February 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012. As a result, the compensation committee granted an additional 95,000 LTIP Units, which vested as of January 31, 2012.
