Share Incentive and Other Compensation | Share Incentive and Other Compensation Share Incentive Plan The Second Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”) authorizes the Company to issue options, Restricted Shares, LTIP Units and other securities (collectively “Awards”) to, among others, the Company’s officers, trustees and employees. At September 30, 2017 a total of 1,756,288 shares remained available to be issued under the Share Incentive Plan. Restricted Shares and LTIP Units During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 306,635 LTIP Units and 7,628 Restricted Share Units to employees of the Company pursuant to the Share Incentive Plan. These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date, which 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 Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $9.0 million, of which $2.2 million was recognized as compensation expense in 2016, and $6.8 million will be recognized as compensation expense over the remaining vesting period. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $6.5 million and $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and is recorded in General and Administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, members of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) have been issued shares and units under the Share Incentive Plan. During 2017, the Company issued 11,814 Restricted Shares and 11,105 LTIP Units to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 3,864 of the Restricted Shares and 5,805 of the LTIP Units will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 7,950 of the Restricted Shares and 5,300 of the LTIP Units 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, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 granted such awards to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the Operating Partnership and 14.4% 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. The awards in connection with Fund IV were determined to have no intrinsic value as of September 30, 2017. Compensation expense of $0.5 million and $1.5 million was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to the Program in connection with Fund III. A summary of the status of the Company’s unvested Restricted Shares and LTIP Units is presented below:
