(1) Value represents the weighted-average grant date fair value. (2) 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.
