On March 3, 2011 and March 22, 2011, the Company issued a combined total of 429,909 LTIP Units and 1,549 Restricted Shares to officers of the Company and 164 LTIP Units and 9,584 Restricted Shares to other employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards are generally recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting with respect to 11% of the awards issued to officers is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures. These awards were measured at their fair value as if they were vested on the grant date. Fair value was established as the market price of the Company’s Common Shares as of the close of trading on the day preceding the grant date. The total value of the above Restricted Shares and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $8.4 million, of which $2.4 million was recognized in compensation expense during 2010 and $6.0 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $0.9 million and $1.2 million has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements related to these awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $1.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $2.2 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Vesting with respect to 10,279 of the Restricted Shares will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 14,625 of the Restricted Shares vest over three years with 33% vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively, from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Trustee fee expense of $0.1 million has been recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to these Restricted Shares.

The Company has awarded units representing 73% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance or as of June 30, 2011. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the change in the estimated fair value at each reporting period.
