Share Incentive and Other Compensation | 13. 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 June 30, 2019 a total of 692,409 shares remained available to be issued under the Share Incentive Plan. Restricted Shares and LTIP Units During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company issued 330,718 LTIP Units and 8,041 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, based on a valuation provided by an independent third-party appraiser incorporating the following factors:
| • | A portion of these annual equity awards is granted in performance-based Restricted Share Units or LTIP Units that may be earned based on the Company’s attainment of specified relative total shareholder returns (“Relative TSR”) hurdles.
| • | In the event the Relative TSR percentile falls between the 25th percentile and the 50th percentile, Relative TSR vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 50% and 100% and in the event that the Relative TSR percentile falls between the 50th percentile and 75th percentile, the Relative TSR vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 100% and 200%.
| • | Two-thirds (2/3) of the performance-based LTIP Units will vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year forward-looking performance period ending December 31, 2021 relative to the constituents of the SNL U.S. REIT Retail Shopping Center Index and one-third (1/3) on the Company’s TSR for the three-year forward-looking performance period as compared to the constituents of the SNL U.S. REIT Retail Index (both on a non-weighted basis).
| • | If the Company’s performance fails to achieve the aforementioned hurdles at the culmination of the three -year performance period, all performance-based shares will be forfeited. Any earned performance-based shares vest 60% at the end of the performance period, with the remaining 40% of shares vesting ratably over the next two years.
For valuation of the 201 9 Performance Shares, a Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair values based on probability of satisfying the market conditions and the projected share prices at the time of payments, discounted to the valuation dates over the three-year performance periods. The assumptions include volatility (19.60%) and risk-free interest rates (2.5%). The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $ 11.1 million. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $1.8 million, $3.7 million, $2.2 million and $4.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 2019, the Company issued 18,009 LTIP Units and 17,318 Restricted Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 6,463 of the LTIP Units and 3,996 of the Restricted Shares will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 11,546 of the LTIP Units and 13,322 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. Total trustee fee expense, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. 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, IV and V. The Company has granted such awards to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the Operating Partnership, 22.8% of the potential Promote payments from Fund IV to the Operating Partnership and 2.2% of the potential Promote payments from Fund V 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 and Fund V were determined to have no intrinsic value as of June 30, 2019. No compensation expense was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to the Program in connection with Fund III, Fund IV or Fund V.
