LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION | LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 319,244 LTIP Units and 11,092 Restricted Share Units to employees of the Company pursuant to its Amended and Restated 2006 Share Incentive Plan (the "Share Incentive Plan"). These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date. The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $10.1 million, of which $1.9 million was recognized as compensation expense in 2015, and $8.2 million will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense of $1.8 million has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to these awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, in connection with the retirement of two executives, an additional 29,418 LTIP Units were issued. The value of these LTIP units was $1.1 million and was recognized as compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Also in connection with these retirements, the Company recognized $1.8 million as compensation expense relating to the acceleration of LTIP Units granted prior to 2016. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the above-mentioned plans and accelerated vesting, was $9.1 million and $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 13. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION (continued) In addition, members of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") have been issued units under the Share Incentive Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company issued 13,491 Restricted Shares and 10,822 LTIP Units to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 4,674 of the Restricted Shares and 5,532 of the LTIP Units will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 8,817 of the Restricted Shares and 5,290 of the LTIP Unites 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. Total trustee fee expense, included the expense related to the above-mentioned plans, was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In 2009, the Company adopted the Long Term Investment Alignment Program (the "Program") pursuant to which the Company may grant awards to employees, entitling them to receive up to 25% of any potential future payments of Promote to the Operating Partnership from Funds III and IV. The Company has awarded units to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the Operating Partnership and 9.3% of the potential Promote payments from Fund IV to the Operating Partnership. Payments to senior executives under the Program require further Board approval at the time any potential payments are due pursuant to these grants. Compensation relating to these awards will be recognized in each reporting period in which Board approval is granted. As payments to other employees are not subject to further Board approval, compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the estimated fair value at each reporting period in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation." During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compensation expense of $3.6 million was recognized related to the Program in connection with Fund III. The awards in connection with Fund IV were determined to have no intrinsic value as of September 30, 2016.
