Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Long-Term Incentive Compensation | LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”). The 2003 share incentive plan was terminated upon the approval by the shareholders of the Company of the Share Incentive Plan at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in May 2012. The Share Incentive Plan increased the amount of options, Restricted Shares and LTIP Units available to officers and employees by 1.9 million shares. On March 15, 2012, the Company issued a total of 279,611 LTIP Units and 1,358 Restricted Share Units to officers of the Company and 9,435 Restricted Share Units to other employees of the Company. Vesting with respect to these awards is generally recognized ratably over the five annual anniversaries following the issuance date. Vesting with respect to 17% of the awards issued to officers is also generally subject to achieving certain Company performance measures. Unvested LTIP Units provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments (Note 2). 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.
13. | LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION (continued)
The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $6.4 million, of which $2.6 million was recognized in compensation expense during 2011 and $3.8 million will be recognized in compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.6 million has been recognized in the accompanying statements of income related to these awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $2.7 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may award units primarily to senior executives which would entitle them to receive up to 25% of any future Fund III Promote when and if such Promote is ultimately realized. The Company has awarded units representing 81% of the Program, which were determined to have no value at issuance or as of September 30, 2012. 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.
