Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events In February 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Company approved the general terms of the Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. 2013 Outperformance Plan (the “2013 OPP"). The 2013 OPP provides for the grant of performance shares under the Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. Under the 2013 OPP, the Company will grant an aggregate of 315,150 performance shares to award recipients, which may convert, subject to the achievement of certain goals, into a maximum of 315,150 restricted common shares of the Company based on the Company’s absolute share price appreciation and its share price appreciation relative to its peer group, over the three-year measurement period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. The 2013 OPP is a long-term incentive compensation plan pursuant to which award recipients may earn up to an aggregate of 315,150 restricted common shares of the Company based on the Company’s share price appreciation (or total shareholder return) over three years beginning on January 1, 2013. The maximum number of shares will be earned under this plan if the Company both (a) achieves 35% or higher share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid, over the three-year measurement period and (b) is in the 70th or greater percentile of its peer group for total shareholder return over the three-year measurement period. The Company expects that the maximum value of the awards, if the Company achieves or exceeds the 35% share price appreciation and is in the 70th or greater percentile of its peer group for total shareholder return over the three-year measurement period, will equal approximately $13.25 million. Any shares earned on December 31, 2015 are also subject to a time based vesting schedule. 50% of the shares will vest on January 4, 2016 and the remaining 50% will vest on January 3, 2017, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the vesting dates. With respect to 70% of the performance shares (or 220,605 shares), 33.33% of this portion of the award (or 73,528 shares) will be earned if the Company’s aggregate share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid during this period, equals 25% over the three-year measurement period, 66.67% of the award (or 147,077 shares) will be earned if the Company’s aggregate share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid during this period equals 30%, and 100.00% of this portion of the award (or 220,605 shares) will be earned if the Company’s aggregate share price appreciation, inclusive of all dividends paid during this period, equals 35% or higher. With respect to 30% of the performance shares (or 94,545 shares), 33.33% of this portion of the award (or 31,512 shares) will be earned if the Company's share price appreciation inclusive of all dividends paid is in the 50th percentile of its peer group over the three-year measurement period, 66.67% of this portion of the award (or 63,033 shares) will be earned if the Company's share price appreciation inclusive of all dividends paid is in the 60th percentile of its peer group during this period, and 100.00% of this portion of the award (or 94,545 shares) will be earned if the Company's share price appreciation inclusive of all dividends paid is in the 70th percentile of its peer group or greater during this period. The peer group will be based on the SNL Equity REIT index. The performance shares will convert on a pro-rata basis by linear interpolation between share price appreciation thresholds, both for absolute share price appreciation and for relative share price appreciation amongst the Company's peer group. The share price targets will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis with respect to any dividend payments made during the measurement period.
