Equity Compensation Plans	NOTE 7: Equity Compensation Plans Long Term Incentive Plan On April 5, 2011, our board of directors approved and adopted the Long Term Incentive Plan, or the incentive plan, and the Independent Directors Compensation Plan, or the director plan. Our incentive plan provides for the grant of awards to our directors, officers and full-time employees (in the event we ever have employees), full-time employees of our advisor and its affiliates, full-time employees of entities that provide services to our advisor, directors of our advisor or of entities that provide services to it, certain of our consultants and certain consultants to our advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to our advisor. The incentive plan authorizes the grant of restricted or unrestricted shares of our common stock, non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock- or cash-based awards. On July 29, 2013, our board of directors and stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of our incentive plan to reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder to 800,000 shares. Under the director plan, which operated as a sub-plan of our incentive plan, each of our independent directors has received 3,000 shares of common stock annually. In addition, our independent directors could elect to receive their annual cash fee in the form of our common shares or a combination of common shares and cash. In March 2016, our board of directors adopted the 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan, or the 2016 LTIP, which was approved by stockholders at IRT’s Annual Meeting held on May 12, 2016. The number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder is 4,300,000 shares of common stock. The term of the 2016 LTIP was extended so that the 2016 LTIP will terminate on May 12, 2026. The director plan was terminated and future director awards will be made under the 2016 LTIP. On February 12, 2016, our compensation committee awarded 210,000 restricted stock awards valued at $6.22 per share, or $1,306, in the aggregate. The awards vest over a three-year period. On May 12, 2016, our compensation committee made a stock grant under the 2016 LTIP so that our independent directors received 18,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate, valued at $137 using our closing stock price of $7.60. These awards vested immediately.
