LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

FROM OUR LEAD INDEPENDENT TRUSTEE AND OUR CHAIRMAN AND CEO

April 8, 2024

515 N. Flagler Drive, Suite 408, West Palm Beach, FL 33401

(212) 692-7200

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

LXP delivered strong operating results in 2023 with notable accomplishments in leasing and development, dispositions and leverage reduction. Our portfolio transformation is substantially complete, which has resulted in a pure-play industrial REIT focused on primarily single-tenant, Class A warehouse/distribution properties with strong income and capital appreciation potential. Our properties are concentrated primarily in key growth markets in the Sunbelt and Midwest that are benefiting from long-term demographic trends. We are confident LXP has the best strategy to drive long-term growth and value creation.

Fiscal 2023 Highlights

Our 2023 performance reflects considerable progress in our key business areas and further enhances the strong platform we have built. We delivered same-store NOI growth of 4.1% largely driven by our robust leasing momentum. We completed 6.8 million square feet of industrial new leases and lease extensions at attractive Base and Cash Base rental increases of approximately 52.3% and 37.3%, respectively, excluding fixed-rate renewals. This execution highlights the value in our investment strategy and the demand for our high-quality assets. Additionally, our stabilized industrial portfolio was 100% leased at year-end, representing a significant milestone for our business and one that would have been difficult to achieve had we remained invested in office assets.

We also continued to execute on our development pipeline. In 2023, we invested $122.1 million in development projects, including the completion of the base building construction of seven new warehouse/distribution facilities totaling 4.2 million square feet, which further expanded our footprint in our target markets.

We disposed of additional non-industrial assets and ended the year with two remaining office assets. These office assets are currently under contract for sale this year, and, once the sale is completed, our consolidated portfolio will essentially be 100% industrial.

On the capital markets side, we took advantage of the bond and term loan markets and effectively extended our consolidated maturities to 2027. At year-end, our net-debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 6.0 times, which is an improvement from year-end 2022.

As we look ahead, we believe LXP is well positioned for strong performance with the combination of low new spec construction starts and expected interest rate cuts in 2024 that could be very beneficial for our business. Furthermore, we believe the building blocks to increased revenue growth in our portfolio are strongly in our favor, including average annual fixed rental escalations of 2.6%, rents on leases expiring through 2029 estimated to be 23% below market and occupancy gains in our development portfolio.

Highly Skilled, Engaged and Refreshed Board

Our highly engaged and skilled Board of Trustees encompasses expertise relevant to the Company’s strategy, including real estate investment, supply chain and logistics, information technology and business development. We have a strong track record of refreshing the Board with diverse trustees that further enhance the skillset of our Board. Since 2017, we have appointed five new independent trustees and Jamie Handwerker was appointed as our lead independent trustee in May 2023. As part of our ongoing committee refreshment, in 2023, we rotated Board committee leadership

roles by appointing Elizabeth Noe as Nominating and ESG Committee Chair and Arun Gupta as Compensation Committee Chair. We thank Claire Koeneman and Lawrence Gray for their committee leadership and look forward to Elizabeth and Arun’s continued contributions to the Board in their new roles.

ESG+R Advancements

We continue to grow our environmental, social, governance and resilience (“ESG+R”) program, which is aligned with our business goals and commitment to shareholder value creation. In 2023, our ESG+R priorities focused on increasing renewable energy across the portfolio, engaging with tenants to assess incorporating sustainability clauses into leases and advancing employees training and professional development opportunities. At year-end 2023, over 17 million square feet, or 32%, of our consolidated industrial properties were green building certified. Our continued progress has been reflected in our improved 2023 GRESB® Real Estate Assessment score and 2023 tenant satisfaction survey that exceeded the Kingsley Index’s overall satisfaction rate.

Continuous and Valuable Shareholder Engagement

Regular shareholder engagement is important to us and integral to LXP’s success. In 2023, we held 123 meetings with potential shareholders and shareholders representing 54% of our outstanding shares as of December 31, 2023, to discuss a variety of topics, including business updates, board composition, risk oversight and refreshment, corporate governance, ESG+R strategy and executive compensation. We also enhanced the advance notice provision in the Company’s bylaws to reflect the interests of our shareholders. As regular shareholder engagement and feedback helps inform our strategy and advance our collective goal of driving shareholder value, we look forward to our continued engagement.

Setting a Course for Value Creation

Through our portfolio transformation, we have built the foundation for long-term income growth and capital appreciation. In 2024 we will focus on further deleveraging of the Company’s balance sheet, delivering strong mark-to market leasing outcomes, leasing our remaining development pipeline and exploring build-to-suit investments to prudently expand our portfolio. We believe that these steps will position us to accelerate NOI growth and deliver consistent shareholder returns in the years ahead.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we thank you for your interest in LXP and support on the matters contained in this proxy statement.

Sincerely,

Jamie Handwerker Lead Independent Trustee | T. Wilson Eglin Chairman and CEO

Background information relating to our nominees begins on page 9 of this Proxy Statement.

A majority of the votes cast with respect to a trustee will be sufficient to elect such trustee. The enclosed proxy, if signed, dated and returned, and any proxy properly authorized via the Internet or telephone, unless withheld, a broker non-vote or a contrary vote is indicated, will be voted FOR the election of the eight nominees. In the event any such nominee becomes unavailable for election, votes will be cast, pursuant to authority granted by the proxy, for such substitute nominee as may be nominated by our Board of Trustees, unless the Board of Trustees alternatively acts to reduce the size of the Board of Trustees or maintain a vacancy on the Board of Trustees in accordance with our bylaws.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR EACH OF THE ABOVE NOMINEES.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 ADVISORY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE
COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), require that we seek an advisory resolution from our Shareholders to approve the compensation awarded to our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. Although the advisory resolution is non-binding, the Board of Trustees and the Compensation Committee will review the results of the vote and will consider our Shareholders’ views and take them into account in future determinations concerning our executive compensation programs. Please refer to the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for details about our executive compensation programs.

A proposal in the form of the following resolution will be submitted for a non-binding, advisory vote at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Shareholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Trust’s named executive officers set forth in the 2024 Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and accompanying compensation tables and related information).”

11

The advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers requires a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. Although the vote on this Proposal No. 2 is a nonbinding, advisory vote, the Board of Trustees will carefully consider the voting results.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL NO. 2.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Although Shareholder ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of Deloitte for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee in its discretion may appoint an alternative independent registered public accounting firm if it deems such action appropriate. If the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee’s selection is not ratified by the Shareholders, the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other factors it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.

There are no affiliations between us and Deloitte’s partners, associates or employees, other than as pertaining to Deloitte’s engagement as our independent registered public accounting firm. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions.

Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

We seek to create a sustainable environmental, social, governance and resilience (“ESG+R”) platform that enhances both our company and shareholder value. We are committed to supporting our shareholders, employees, tenants, suppliers, creditors, and communities as we execute on ESG+R objectives and initiatives. The objectives below are integrated throughout our investment process and contribute to our ongoing long-term success on behalf of our shareholders.

Due to the properties in our portfolio being primarily subject to net leases where tenants are responsible for maintaining the buildings and are in control of their energy usage and environmental sustainability practices, our ability to implement ESG+R initiatives throughout our portfolio may be limited.

The Nominating and ESG Committee of our Board of Trustees oversees our ESG+R strategy and initiatives. Our website has a dedicated Corporate Responsibility section, www.LXP.com/corporate-responsibility, which contains additional information on our ESG+R initiatives and a copy of our most recent Corporate Responsibility Report. The contents of our website are not incorporated into this Proxy Statement.

In addition to the items disclosed elsewhere, we maintain the following corporate governance practices:

Proxy Access | Our bylaws provide for proxy access.
Trustee Refreshment | Our Board of Trustees began a refreshment process in 2015. Since 2015, we have added seven new independent trustees. Pursuant to the retirement policy set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board of Trustees may not nominate a trustee for re-election unless he or she will be 75 years of age or younger on the first day of such Board term.

Board Independence | Our Board of Trustees is 87.5% independent.
Independent Lead Trustee | We have an Independent Lead Trustee with robust duties because our Chairman is also our Chief Executive Officer. The duties of the independent Lead Trustee include: ■ Preside at all meetings of the Board of Trustees at which the Chairman is not present. ■ Preside at all executive sessions of the non-management trustees and independent trustees and set the format and agenda, with input from other independent trustees, at such executive sessions. ■ Call additional meetings of the non-management trustees and independent trustees, as deemed necessary. ■ Facilitate discussion and open dialogue among the independent trustees during Board of Trustees meetings, executive sessions and outside of Board of Trustees meetings. ■ Serve as principal liaison between the independent trustees and the Chairman and management. ■ Communicate to the Chairman and management, as appropriate, any decisions reached, suggestions, views or concerns expressed by independent trustees in executive sessions or outside of meetings of the Board of Trustees. ■ Provide the Chairman with comment to Board of Trustees meeting agendas and meeting schedules. ■ Periodically meet with independent trustees, as a group or individually, to discuss Board of Trustees and committee performance, effectiveness and composition. ■ If appropriate, and in coordination with executive management, be available for consultation and direct communication with major shareholders. The Lead Trustee is selected and appointed by the independent members of the Board of Trustees following recommendation by the Nominating and ESG Committee. The Nominating and ESG Committee seeks input from all trustees and outside advisors when making a recommendation on the Lead Trustee.
Anti-Pledging/Hedging | We prohibit margin and/or pledging and/or hedging arrangements by our trustees, executive officers and employees.
Insider Trading Policy | We believe it is improper and inappropriate for our employees, officers and trustees to engage in short-term or speculative transactions involving our common shares or other securities. We maintain an insider trading policy that restricts trading in our securities during certain times and requires covered persons, including employees, officers and trustees, to obtain approval prior to trading in our securities. Executive officers and trustees complete annual questionnaires to confirm their compliance with our insider trading policy.
Share Ownership | We have the following common share beneficial ownership requirements (after a phase-in period):

22

MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees held 10 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Each individual that was a trustee at the time of such meetings attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of our Board of Trustees and all committees of the Board of Trustees on which he or she served during the year.

All our then trustees attended the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was held on May 23, 2023.

Outside Commitments:

| ● | Service on the Board of Trustees requires significant time and attention, and our trustees are expected to spend the time needed and meet as often as necessary to discharge their responsibilities. Our Nominating and ESG Committee considers competing outside commitments in making its trustee nomination recommendations.

| ● | Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that when a trustee’s principal occupation or business association changes substantially from the position he or she held when originally invited to join the Board of Trustees, the trustee shall tender a letter of resignation to the Nominating and ESG Committee and the Nominating and ESG Committee shall consider whether the change will impair the trustees effectiveness and then recommend to the Board of Trustees whether to accept the proposed resignation.

| ● | Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also provides that (i) trustees should advise the chairperson of the Nominating and ESG Committee and the CEO before accepting membership on other boards of directors/trustees or any audit committee or other significant committee assignment on any other board of directors/trustees, or establishing other significant relationships with businesses, institutions, governmental units or regulatory entities, particularly those that may result in significant time commitments or a change in the trustee’s relationship to the Trust, and (ii) trustees should not serve on more than three other boards of public companies, and (iii) no member of the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee should serve on more than three public company audit committees (including the Trust’s Audit and Cyber Risk Committee).

| ● | No trustee serves on the board of three or more other public companies.

Independence:

| ● | Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) each require that a majority of our Board of Trustees are “independent” as that term is defined in the rules and regulations of the NYSE.

| ● | The Nominating and ESG Committee, on behalf of our Board of Trustees, performed its annual independence review and determined that, except for Mr. Eglin, our trustees are independent. Mr. Eglin is not independent because of his role as an executive officer of LXP.

Each committee operates under a written charter, all of which were reviewed by the Nominating and ESG Committee, the respective members of the applicable committee and the Board of Trustees during 2023.

Our Board of Trustees currently believes that it is appropriate to combine the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at this time due to Mr. Eglin’s critical role in creating and implementing our current strategy. Mr. Eglin has guided us through various market cycles and our transformation from a diversified net-

26

lease REIT into an industrial REIT, and our Board of Trustees believes that he is the appropriate person to continue to serve as our Chairman.

Our Board of Trustees believes that a Lead Trustee, who is independent, is necessary and appropriate to provide additional, independent leadership to the Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Lead Trustee shall have the authority and specific responsibilities set forth under “Corporate Responsibility—Governance—Independent Lead Trustee,” above.

Ms. Handwerker has been our independent Lead Trustee since May 23, 2023. Ms. Handwerker has experience as a sell-side analyst, a hedge fund manager and a direct real estate investor and she is also an independent board member of another publicly traded real estate investment trust, which our Board of Trustees, including the members of the Nominating and ESG Committee, believed made her a candidate suitable for our Lead Trustee.

Strategy and risk are an integral part of our Board of Trustees and Committee deliberations throughout the year. Management regularly updates, and reports to our Board of Trustees with respect to, our business plan. Management also performs a quarterly fraud risk assessment, which is reported to our Board of Trustees. The quarterly fraud risk assessment assesses the critical risks we face (e.g., strategic, operational, financial, legal/regulatory, and reputational), their relative magnitude and management’s actions to mitigate these risks. In addition, the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee assists our Board of Trustees with the oversight of our risk management program, including its oversight of our internal audit function, enterprise risk management and cybersecurity risks.

Cybersecurity

As a smaller company, we use third-party vendors to assist us with our network and information technology requirements. Since 2019, BDO USA, LLC has provided us with virtual chief technology officer services, including chief information security officer services. In 2022, Mr. Gupta, a cyber security expert, joined our Board of Trustees. Mr. Gupta has significant experience in, among other areas, emerging technologies and coordinating national security and technology policy.

On at least a quarterly basis, we and BDO USA, LLC report to our Board of Trustees or the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee on information technology matters. On a regular basis, our Audit and Cyber Risk Committee commissions an internal audit or assessment of our cybersecurity practices and receives a report from our internal auditor on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, our management participates in annual tabletop exercises and simulations as part of our business continuity, incident response and disaster recovery planning.

Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for more information on our processes and procedures for addressing and managing cybersecurity risks.

Shareholder Nominations

Our Board of Trustees believes that the Nominating and ESG Committee is qualified and in the best position to identify, review, evaluate and select qualified candidates for membership on our Board of Trustees based on the criteria described in the next paragraph. The Nominating and ESG Committee intends to consider nominees recommended by shareholders, but only if the submission of a recommendation includes a current resume and curriculum vitae of the candidate, a statement describing the candidate’s qualifications, contact information for personal and professional references, the name and address of the shareholder who is submitting the candidate for nomination, the number of shares which are owned of record or beneficially by the submitting shareholder and a description of all arrangements or understandings between the submitting shareholder and the candidate for nomination. Submissions should be made to: LXP Industrial Trust, 515 N. Flagler Drive, Suite 408, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, Attention: Secretary. The Nominating and ESG Committee’s consideration process includes completion of a standard questionnaire, a background check and interviews with the Nominating and ESG Committee and other members of the Board of Trustees. The Nominating and ESG Committee has no obligation to recommend such candidates for nomination.

In recommending candidates for membership on our Board of Trustees, the Nominating and ESG Committee’s assessment includes consideration of issues of judgment, diversity, expertise, and experience. The Nominating and ESG Committee believes that a diverse board is one that includes differences of viewpoints, professional experience, education, skill, and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to board

27

heterogeneity. The Nominating and ESG Committee also considers other relevant factors as it deems appropriate. Generally, qualified candidates for board membership should (i) demonstrate personal integrity and moral character, (ii) be willing to apply sound and independent business judgment for the long-term interests of shareholders, (iii) possess relevant business or professional experience, technical expertise, or specialized skills, (iv) possess personality traits and backgrounds that fit with those of the other trustees to produce a collegial and cooperative environment, (v) be responsive to our needs, and (vi) have the ability to commit sufficient time to effectively carry out the duties of a trustee.

The Nominating and ESG Committee follows legal and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to independence, and gives due consideration to characteristics, such as race, gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation.

Our Board of Trustees believes its effectiveness is enhanced by being comprised of individuals with diverse skills, experience and backgrounds that are relevant to the role of our Board of Trustees and the needs of our business. The objective of our Board of Trustees is to foster a diverse and inclusive culture which solicits multiple perspectives and views and is free of conscious or unconscious bias and discrimination. Accordingly, the Nominating and ESG Committee regularly reviews the changing needs of our business and the skills, experience and backgrounds of its members, with the intention that our Board of Trustees will be periodically “renewed” as certain Trustees rotate off and new Trustees are recruited. Our Board of Trustee’s commitment to diversity and “renewal” will be tempered by the need to balance change with continuity, experience and a collaborative approach with each other and our Chief Executive Officer.

After completing this evaluation and review, the Nominating and ESG Committee makes a recommendation to our Board of Trustees as to the persons who should be nominated by our Board of Trustees, and our Board of Trustees determines the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the Nominating and ESG Committee.

To the extent there is a vacancy on our Board of Trustees, the Nominating and ESG Committee will either identify individuals qualified to become trustees through relationships with our trustees or executive officers or by engaging a third party. Our Board of Trustees currently consists of eight individuals. However, the size of our Board of Trustees may increase in the future by a limited number to further diversify and refresh the membership of our Board of Trustees.

In addition, our bylaws provide that any shareholder that complies with the “advance notice” or “proxy access” provisions in our bylaws may also nominate individuals for election to our Board of Trustees. See “Q&A—How do I nominate a trustee or submit a proposal for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?”

Shareholder Communications

Parties wishing to communicate directly with our Board of Trustees, an individual trustee, the Lead Trustee or the non-management members of our Board of Trustees as a group should address their inquiries to our General Counsel by mail sent to our principal office located at 515 N. Flagler Drive, Suite 408, West Palm Beach, FL 33401. The mailing envelope should contain a clear notification indicating that the enclosed letter is an “Interested Party/Shareholder-Board Communication,” “Interested Party/Shareholder-Trustee Communication,” “Interested Party/Shareholder-Lead Trustee Communication” or “Interested Party/ Shareholder-Non-Management Trustee Communication,” as the case may be.

Complaint Procedures for Accounting and Auditing Matters

We have established “whistleblower” procedures set forth in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for (1) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints and allegations regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters (“Accounting Matters”) and (2) the confidential, anonymous submission by Covered Persons (as defined therein) of concerns regarding Accounting Matters. Under these procedures, anyone with concerns regarding accounting matters or otherwise, may, as applicable, report their concerns to our compliance hotline by telephone at 844-502-7786 or on the web at http://LXP.ethicspoint.com. Complaints are reviewed by the Chairman of the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee and our General Counsel, as appropriate, and reported to our Board of Trustees on an as needed basis, but not less than quarterly. In the event of a complaint, our internal and external auditors are informed and we work with our outside legal counsel to investigate the complaint.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Policy. Under our policy regarding the review, approval and ratification of any related party transaction, the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee or the Board of Trustees (consisting of all of the non-conflicted members) reviews the relevant facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, taking into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee or the Board of Trustees (consisting of all of the non-conflicted members) either approves or disapproves the related party transaction. Any related amendment to, or waiver of any provision of, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for executive officers or trustees must be approved by the Nominating and ESG Committee (consisting of the non-conflicted members) and will be promptly disclosed to our shareholders as required by applicable laws, rules or regulations including, without limitation, the requirements of the NYSE.

Any related party transaction will be consummated and continue only if the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee or the Board of Trustees (consisting of all of the non-conflicted members) has approved or ratified such transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. For purposes of our policy, a “Related Party” is:

| (1) | any person who is, or at any time since the beginning of our last fiscal year was, one of our trustees or executive officers or a nominee to become one of our trustees;

| (2) | any person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities;

| (3) | any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any spouse, child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother- in-law, or sister-in-law; and

| (4) | any firm, corporation, or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed, is a general partner, principal, or in a similar position, or in which such person has a 5% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

Indemnification Agreements. Our trustees and certain of our executive officers have entered into indemnification agreements with us. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to indemnify the trustee or executive officer who is a party to such an agreement against any and all judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by the trustee or executive officer or in a similar capacity for any other entity at our request. These agreements include certain limitations on our obligations in certain circumstances, particularly in situations in which such indemnification is prohibited or limited by applicable law.

29

Hedging Policy

We have adopted a policy that prohibits our trustees, officers and employees, as well as certain of their immediate family members, from buying or selling Company securities while in possession of material, non- public information. In addition, we have adopted a policy prohibiting trustees, officers, and employees from pledging our securities and from establishing short positions and hedging transactions, including through prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds.

Charitable Contributions

We maintain a charitable giving policy to help us make charitable contributions with an emphasis in the areas of food insecurity, children and education. We seek input from our employees before making charitable contributions. The charities we support are located in the cities where we maintain corporate offices. During 2023, we did not make any charitable contribution to any tax-exempt organization in which any independent trustee serves as an executive officer.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2023, none of the members of the Compensation Committee were or had been one of our executive officers. Further, none of our executive officers have ever served as a member of the compensation committee or as a director of another entity whose executive officers served on our Compensation Committee or as a member of our Board of Trustees.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We maintain an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which provides an opportunity for employees to elect to purchase common shares at 95% of the fair market value on the date of purchase. Employees participate through payroll deductions.

Name |  | Title
T. Wilson Eglin |  | Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
Beth Boulerice |  | Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Joseph S. Bonventre |  | Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary
Brendan P. Mullinix |  | Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer

Compensation Committee Responsibility and Philosophy. The Compensation Committee administers the compensation policies and programs for our named executive officers and regularly reviews and approves our compensation strategy and principles to ensure that they are aligned with our business strategy and objectives, encourage high performance, promote accountability and ensure that management’s interests are aligned with the interests of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation program should further both short-term and long-term business goals and strategies while enhancing shareholder value. In keeping with this philosophy, the compensation program’s objectives are to:

| ● | maintain a transparent compensation program that is easy for all of our shareholders to understand;

| ● | further align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our shareholders;

| ● | strengthen the relationship between executive pay and company performance; and

| ● | retain key members of management.

The Compensation Committee believes that the business judgment of its members is necessary to properly evaluate and design an executive compensation program.

2023 “Say on Pay” Advisory Vote

In 2023, approximately 96.8% of the votes cast voted “FOR” the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the related proxy statement, which has been consistent with the votes for the previous years.

34

Based on such approvals and the discussion held with our shareholders, the Compensation Committee has largely maintained the compensation framework approved in 2023 for 2024 with modifications for our 2024 business plan objectives.

Executive Compensation Best Practices.

The following is a summary of our executive compensation practices:

What we do: |  | What we don’t do:
We pay for performance We disclose our compensation programs with transparency We assess compensation risk We use an independent compensation consultant We use competitor and size-based peer groups We require hold periods and have minimum share ownership guidelines We have a robust clawback policy |  | We do not provide tax gross-up payments We do not have excessive severance arrangements or single-trigger change in control severance payments We do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking as a result of our compensation policies We do not guarantee compensation or uncapped bonus payments We do not allow for repricing of stock options. We do not allow hedging or pledging of our stock

Independent Compensation Consultant

During 2023, the Compensation Committee retained Ferguson Partners Consulting, L.P., a nationally known executive compensation and benefits consulting firm, which we refer to as FPC. Other than reviewing and advising the Compensation Committee with respect to executive and trustee compensation, FPC does not provide any non-executive compensation or other services for us. As a result, FPC is an independent compensation consultant. Management does not retain any executive compensation consultant.

Peer Group Benchmarking Analysis.

We are always competing for the best talent with our direct industry peers and with the broader market. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee regularly reviews the market data, pay practices and ranges of our “peer” companies and the broader market to ensure that we continue to offer a relevant and competitive executive pay program each year. Throughout this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we refer to two distinct peer groups, as described below, which were recommended by FPC and approved by the Chair of the Compensation Committee in 2023.

| ● | Competitor Peer Group. For 2023, this group consisted of 11 public REITs, which are either (1) our competitors for industrial property acquisitions and tenants in the single-tenant industrial space or (2) owners of a portfolio of primarily net-leased assets. The companies included in this peer group are as follows:

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. | EastGroup Properties, Inc. | Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc.
First Industrial Realty Trust Inc. | Getty Realty Corp. | NNN REIT, Inc.
Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. | STAG Industrial, Inc. | Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
Terreno Realty Corporation | W.P. Carey Inc. |

This competitor peer group helped the Compensation Committee understand how each named executive officer’s total compensation compares with the total compensation for reasonably similar positions at our most direct REIT competitors.

35

| ● | Size Peer Group. For 2023 this group consisted of 20 public REITs, which operate across multiple asset classes and are similar in size to our total capitalization. The total capitalization range for this peer group was $2.95 billion to $5.6 billion as of October 31, 2023. Our total capitalization was at approximately the 36th percentile ($4.0 billion) of this peer group as of October 31, 2023. The companies included in this peer group are as follows:

Acadia Realty Trust | American Assets Trust, Inc. | Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc.
Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. | COPT Defense Properties | Empire State Realty Trust, Inc.
Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. | Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. | JBG SMITH Properties
National Health Investors, Inc. | Paramount Group, Inc. | Pebblebrook Hotel Trust
Physicians Realty Trust | Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. | RLJ Lodging Trust
Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. | SITE Centers Corp. | Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.
Urban Edge Properties | Veris Residential, Inc |

The size-based peer group helped the Compensation Committee compare our overall compensation practices against a broader mix of REITs to ensure that our compensation practices are reasonable due to the size of our organization. The Compensation Committee generally focuses on the average of the two peer groups, except in cases where such average is determined to be excessive in light of the circumstances.

Although the two peer groups are comprised solely of REITs, we also compete for talent with other public and private companies in the locations where our employees reside. Therefore, we also consider other information regarding market trends in compensation in addition to the data derived from these peer group reviews.

FPC prepared a compensation study for the Compensation Committee that contains:

| ● | a summary of market findings;

| ● | high-level performance information and its impact on compensation trends within the real estate industry;

| ● | certain background information, including size and performance statistics for our company and the peer group constituents; and

| ● | the results of a competitive benchmarking analysis for our named executive officers and certain other employees on both an individual and aggregate basis.

Determining the Amount of Each Element of Compensation.

The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of each of our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee considers, among other things, (1) the scope of the individual’s responsibilities, including the demands and profile of the positions held by the individual, (2) the individual’s experience and tenure with us, (3) the individual’s performance and contribution to our performance, (4) our performance against annual objectives set forth in management’s business plan, and (5) competitive salaries. The Compensation Committee considers the results of compensation studies prepared for it by FPC and by industry and trade associations.

Our Chief Executive Officer assists in the annual review of our other named executive officers and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee. However, the Compensation Committee makes all determinations with respect to the actual compensation of our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer.

The independent compensation consultant provides the following services to the Compensation Committee:

| ● | Management Data Collection:

| ○ | reviewing historical pay philosophy and practices;

| ○ | confirming the existing compensation philosophy; and

| ○ | reviewing the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations.

36

| ● | Compensation Guidance and Commentary:

| ○ | providing initial thoughts and reactions to the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations given current market practices and performance;

| ○ | providing thoughts and perspectives on the broader REIT market, from a compensation perspective, based on ongoing conversations with executives/board members and up-to-date compensation data; and

| ○ | providing a compensation study described above and recommendations regarding peer group data.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee does not believe our executive compensation programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking for the following reasons:

| ● | There are no guaranteed minimum payouts.

| ● | The annual cash incentive opportunity does not rely on total shareholder return ("TSR").

| ● | The annual cash incentive opportunity is based on multiple operational performance metrics.

| ● | We use two adjusted/non-GAAP metrics in our compensation opportunities, but we regularly disclose these metrics, including reconciliations, and analysts and investors use these metrics to compare us to our peers.

| ● | The annual long-term incentive opportunity has a three-year performance period based on TSR relative to a competitor peer group and an index.

While we are focused on long-term shareholder value, the Compensation Committee believes that three-year vesting for share awards is an appropriate length of time due to the need to retain our executives and reward results. Furthermore, our Compensation Committee believes the overall amount of our long-term incentive awards is appropriate in relation to our executive compensation program.

We also pay dividends currently on the time-based portion of our annual long-term incentive awards and dividends accrue on the performance-based portion of our annual long-term incentive awards and are paid upon, and to the extent of, vesting. Since we are a REIT, dividends are a necessary part of our business. Furthermore, all dividends are declared by our Board of Trustees and none of the dividends on long-term incentive awards are preferential. Accordingly, we do not believe that dividends are a risk in our compensation arrangements.

We maintain a clawback policy, which complies with applicable NYSE rules. As mandated by such rules, if the Trust is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its GAAP financial statements, the Trust will recover any incentive compensation received by any covered person during the fiscal years pertaining to the restatement that was in excess of the amount that otherwise would have been paid, giving effect to the restated results.

Pay for Performance.

A significant portion of the total target compensation for our named executive officers is in the form of performance-based incentive compensation, with the only “fixed” or “guaranteed” compensation in the form of annual base salaries and time-based long-term incentive awards.

37

In setting the pre-defined objective performance measures for the annual cash incentive target opportunity, multiple factors are considered, and the Compensation Committee believes the plan is balanced across our operations with reference to our business plan.

For 2023, our executive compensation plan resulted in the following pay mix for the total target compensation:

Recap of 2023 Executive Compensation Program.

The 2023 executive compensation program consisted of (1) base salary, (2) annual cash incentive opportunity, and (3) annual long-term incentive opportunity.

Base Salaries and Annual Cash Incentive Awards. Base salaries and annual cash incentive opportunity under the 2023 executive compensation program were as follows:

Officer |  | 2023 Base Salary |  |  | Threshold |  |  | Target |  |  | Maximum |
T. Wilson Eglin |  | 825,000 |  |  | 56.25 | % |  | $ | 464,063 |  |  |  | 112.5 | % |  | $ | 928,125 |  |  |  | 225 | % |  | $ | 1,856,250 |
Beth Boulerice |  | 465,000 |  |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 232,500 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 465,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 930,000 |
Joseph S. Bonventre |  | 515,000 |  |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 275,500 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 515,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 1,030,000 |
Brendan P. Mullinix |  | 460,000 |  |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 230,000 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 460,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 920,000 |
James Dudley |  | 375,000 |  |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 187,500 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 375,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 750,000 |

Seventy percent (70%) of the annual cash incentive opportunity was based on pre-defined objective measures (from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023) and 30% was based on subjective measures.

Objective Measures

The following sets forth the pre-defined objective measures, the weighting and the rationale for each measure. In the first quarter of 2024, the Compensation Committee evaluated the Company’s performance on the objective and subjective measures and made the determinations as detailed below.

| Weighting |  | Target |  | Actual at 12/31/2023 |  | Determination
Investments | 30% |  |  |  |  |  | Target
Stabilized Development Square Feet |  |  | 2.8 million |  | 1.93 million |  |
Stabilized Development # of Buildings |  |  | 6 |  | 3 |  |
Stabilized Development Pre-Promote Yield |  |  | >6.5% |  | >7% |  |

Rationale: Stabilization of our development pipeline was a primary part of our 2023 business plan.

Result: We made meaningful progress on our development pipeline during 2023 and leased 1.93 million square feet over four leases. We stabilized three buildings and a portion of our two-building Tampa, Florida development project. Our stabilized development pre-promote yields continue to be strong and in excess of our original underwriting. Due to the equal weighting of each sub-metric, target was achieved.

38

| Weighting |  | Target |  | Actual at 12/31/2023 |  | Determination
Dispositions | 5% |  |  |  |  |  | Threshold
Non-Core/Other Volume |  |  | $167 million |  | $120.5 million |  |

Rationale: Our 2023 disposition plan contemplated the sale of our remaining office/other properties other than the two office assets in Fort Mill, South Carolina (due to the lease expirations in 2024 for those assets) and the sale of certain industrial properties outside of our target markets, which would allow us to recycle out of non-core assets and into assets in our target markets, which we believe have better growth prospects.

Result: We were able to recycle out of additional office assets and non-target market assets during 2023 and use the proceeds to fund our development pipeline.

| Weighting |  | Target |  | Actual at 12/31/2023 |  | Determination
Portfolio Management | 30% |  |  |  |  |  | Target/Maximum
Industrial Percent Leased |  |  | 99% |  | 100% |  |
Industrial Same-Store NOI Growth |  |  | 4% |  | 4.1% |  |
Warehouse/Distribution Leasing Spreads |  |  | >25% |  | >30% |  |

Rationale: We believe that the embedded mark-to-mark opportunity in our portfolio is one of the main selling points with investors. We believe management should be appropriately incentivized to proactively renew leases or release spaces. We added industrial percent leased for 2023 as occupancy is a key metric that we and our investors review.

Result: We had strong leasing activity in 2023, which led to 100% occupancy in our stabilized industrial portfolio, strong same-store NOI growth and raised Base and Cash Base rents by 52% and 37%, respectively, excluding fixed-rate renewals.

Credit Rating |  |  | Maintain current ratings |  | Maintained |  |
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio |  |  | 6.0x |  | 6.0x |  |

Rationale: Our strategy has been to maintain a strong balance sheet that can weather market cycles.

Result: During 2023, we strengthened our balance sheet by effectively extending our debt maturities to 2027. Our credit ratings were unchanged over the course of 2023.

| Weighting |  | Target |  | Actual at 12/31/2023 |  | Determination
ESG | 15% |  |  |  |  |  | Target/Maximum

Tenant satisfaction survey result compared to Kingsley Index |  | 104% |  | 101% |  |
Green Lease Leader |  | Gold |  | Gold |  |
Employee Satisfaction |  | Neutral |  | Positive |  |

Rationale: Our ESG platform continues to expand and obtain recognition despite the properties in our portfolio primarily being subject to net leases where tenants are responsible for maintaining the buildings and are in control of their energy usage and environmental sustainability practices, and our ability to implement ESG initiatives throughout our portfolio is limited. We believe it is appropriate to hold management accountable for furthering ESG initiatives by incorporating ESG metrics into our executive compensation plans. For 2023, we selected five ESG metrics that are determined by third-party evaluators or survey results.

Result: Our ESG program continued to expand in 2023 and management achieved strong results in almost all of the ESG metrics. With respect to the tenant satisfaction survey, management beat the index, but ended up below threshold.

The determination of the objective measurements resulted in each named executive officer being entitled to 123.5% of the target objective portion of the 2023 annual incentive opportunity, which is up slightly from 120% for 2022.

Subjective Measures

With respect to the subjective portion of the annual cash incentive opportunity, the Compensation Committee made the following determinations:

Officer |  | Rationale |  | % of Target Subjective Portion
T. Wilson Eglin Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President |  | While Mr. Eglin’s subjective portion was less than target for 2023, the Compensation Committee, and the rest of the Board of Trustees, continue to believe that Mr. Eglin exceeded their expectations during a year with significant volatility in interest rates and the broader markets. Overall Strategy and Business Plan: ● Developed overall strategy and business plan. Overall Transaction Activity: ● Completed 6.8 million square feet of new leases and lease extensions, raising industrial Base and Cash Base Rents by 40.1% and 27.0%, respectively (52.3% and 37.3%, respectively, excluding fixed-rate renewals). ● Leased four development projects consisting of 1.9 million square feet in four target markets. ● Acquired one warehouse/distribution facility for $15.0 million. ● Committed to the construction of a 250,000 square foot industrial facility in the Columbus, Ohio market. ● Completed construction of seven warehouse/distribution facilities containing an aggregate of 4.2 million square feet in four target markets. ● Invested an aggregate of $122.1 million in development activities, including $85.8 million in ongoing development projects. Earnings Results: ● Generated Adjusted Company FFO of $0.70 per diluted share, which was at the high end of the initial range of $0.63 to $0.70 per share. ● Increased industrial same-store NOI by 4.1% in 2023 compared to 2022. Balance Sheet Strategy: ● Extended the $300.0 million term loan until January 31, 2027. ● Issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2028. ● Ended the year with net debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 6.0x. Investor Outreach: ● Held 123 meetings with potential shareholders and shareholders, including attending 10 investor conferences. ● Met with 54% of the holders of our common shares as of December 31, 2023. Overall Employee Satisfaction: ● Maintained over-all employee morale, evidenced by a positive rating on a third-party employee survey. The Compensation Committee continues to believe that Mr. Eglin’s strategic vision of an industrial focused, primarily single-tenant REIT in target markets with a strong development pipeline will lead to enhanced shareholder value throughout market cycles. Despite a positive total return in 2023, the Compensation Committee lowered the year-over-year percentage of target for Mr. Eglin’s cash bonus. |  |  | 75 | %

Our Compensation Committee continues to believe that our named executive officers worked well as a team, but the lower subjective portion for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Investment Officer in 2023 compared to 2022 generally reflects the low total shareholder return in 2023. The low total shareholder return in 2023 also impacted the payouts under the performance-based equity awards.

The 2023 annual cash incentive awards and 2023 total cash compensation (base salary and annual cash incentive award) were as follows:

Officer |  | 2023 Award |  |  | % of Target Opportunity |  |  | Total Cash Compensation
T. Wilson Eglin |  | $ | 1,011,192 |  |  |  | 109 | % |  | $ | 1,836,192
Beth Boulerice |  | $ | 555,443 |  |  |  | 119 | % |  | $ | 1,020,443
Joseph S. Bonventre |  | $ | 584,268 |  |  |  | 113 | % |  | $ | 1,099,268
Brendan P. Mullinix |  | $ | 521,870 |  |  |  | 113 | % |  | $ | 981,870
James Dudley |  | $ | 464,813 |  |  |  | 124 | % |  | $ | 839,813

Annual Long-Term Incentive Award. The 2023 annual long-term incentive awards were as follows:

|  | Performance-Based Opportunity |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Officer |  | Threshold |  |  | Target |  |  | Maximum |  |  | Service-Based Award |  |  | Total Target Opportunity |
T. Wilson Eglin |  | $ | 900,000 |  |  | $ | 1,800,000 |  |  | $ | 3,600,000 |  |  | $ | 1,200,000 |  |  | $ | 3,000,000 |
Beth Boulerice |  | $ | 255,000 |  |  | $ | 510,000 |  |  | $ | 1,020,000 |  |  | $ | 340,000 |  |  | $ | 850,000 |
Joseph S. Bonventre |  | $ | 375,000 |  |  | $ | 750,000 |  |  | $ | 1,500,000 |  |  | $ | 500,000 |  |  | $ | 1,250,000 |
Brendan P. Mullinix |  | $ | 300,000 |  |  | $ | 600,000 |  |  | $ | 1,200,000 |  |  | $ | 400,000 |  |  | $ | 1,000,000 |
James Dudley |  | $ | 180,000 |  |  | $ | 360,000 |  |  | $ | 720,000 |  |  | $ | 240,000 |  |  | $ | 600,000 |

The 2023 annual long-term incentive awards consisted of a mix of performance-based non-vested shares and service-based non-vested shares. Vesting for performance-based non-vested shares is tied to our TSR relative to other REITs, which we think is more appropriate than absolute TSR. No performance-based shares are earned for results below the threshold level.

Performance-Based Opportunity of Outstanding Long-Term Incentive Awards.

The table below summarizes the results of the 2021 performance-based long-term incentive awards, which was completed at the end of 2023, and the performance to the end of 2023 for the outstanding 2022 and 2023 performance-based long-term incentive awards.

The following table shows the values reported based on the grant date value and the values realized based on the market value on January 2, 2024, which was the date of vesting, of the 2021 performance-based long-term incentive awards:

Officer |  | Grant Date Value |  |  | Market Value at Vesting |
T. Wilson Eglin |  | $ | 2,136,552 |  |  | $ | 670,423 |
Beth Boulerice |  | $ | 316,532 |  |  | $ | 99,319 |

James Dudley |  | $ | 197,835 |  |  | $ | 62,069 |

Upon vesting, accrued dividends were also paid on the performance awards that vested.

The actual payouts for the 2022 awards will be disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the actual payouts for the 2023 awards will be disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Correlation between CEO Compensation and Performance.

A significant portion of our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation is long-term and equity-based. As a result, the amounts in the summary compensation table are not the same as realizable pay. Realizable pay includes Salary, Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation, Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings and All Other Compensation from the Summary Compensation Table below for the applicable year and the value realized upon vesting of long-term incentive share awards for the applicable years. Our share awards consist of the following:

| ● | Service-based equity awards: The grant date fair value of the award is based on the closing price of the common shares on the date of grant (or, if the date of grant was not a trading day, the last trading day prior to the date of grant) and does not reflect any time-based vesting conditions or service period even though it is not “realized” pay.

| ● | Performance-based equity awards: The grant date fair value of the award is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which is an estimation of the value based on hypothetical models. However, if such performance is never achieved, the awards will not result in “realized” pay.

Reported pay is the Total amount in the Summary Compensation Table below, and realized pay is calculated by subtracting the Share Awards in the Summary Compensation Table from reported pay and adding the Value Realized on Vesting from the Option Exercises and Stock Vested table below.

Elements of Compensation Program Applicable to Named Executive Officers for 2024.

Base Salary. For 2024, the Compensation Committee approved increases in base salaries for our named executive officers as noted below to ensure base salaries, and, in certain situations, overall compensation, remains competitive and in line with their roles and responsibilities. Base salaries are as follows:

Officer |  | 2024 Base Salary |  |  | 2023 Base Salary |  |  | % Change
T. Wilson Eglin |  | $ | 840,000 |  |  | $ | 825,000 |  |  | 2 | %
Beth Boulerice |  | $ | 485,000 |  |  | $ | 465,000 |  |  | 4 | %
Joseph S. Bonventre |  | $ | 530,000 |  |  | $ | 515,000 |  |  | 3 | %
Brendan P. Mullinix |  | $ | 475,000 |  |  | $ | 460,000 |  |  | 3 | %
James Dudley |  | $ | 410,000 |  |  | $ | 375,000 |  |  | 9 | %

44

Annual Cash Incentive Opportunity. The annual cash incentive opportunity for the 2024 executive compensation program for our named executive officers will be a percentage of base salary as follows:

Officer |  | Threshold |  |  | Target |  |  | Maximum |
T. Wilson Eglin |  | 56.25 | % |  | $ | 472,500 |  |  |  | 112.5 | % |  | $ | 945,000 |  |  |  | 225 | % |  | $ | 1,890,000 |
Beth Boulerice |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 242,500 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 485,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 970,000 |
Joseph S. Bonventre |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 265,000 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 530,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 1,060,000 |
Brendan P. Mullinix |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 237,500 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 475,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 950,000 |
James Dudley |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 205,000 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 410,000 |  |  |  | 200 | % |  | $ | 820,000 |

Our Chief Executive Officer’s target total cash compensation (base salary plus target annual cash incentive) of $1,785,000 is approximately 5% lower than the average of the median target total cash compensation in the two 2023 peer groups.

Seventy percent of the annual cash incentive opportunity for our named executive officers will be determined by predefined objective performance measures based on our 2024 business plan for the period commencing January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2024. The following is a summary of the objective performance measures:

Item | Weighting |  |  |  |
Investment Performance | 35% |  |  |  |
Item Rationale: With our current cost of capital, investment activity is expected to continue to be muted in 2024. The sub-items continue to be leased development square footage, leased development number of projects and leased development pre-promote yield. Weighting is increased 5% from 2023.
Portfolio Management | 30% |  |  |  |
Item Rationale: The embedded mark-to-market opportunity in our portfolio remains critical to revenue growth. The sub-items continue to be percent leased, industrial same-store NOI and industrial leasing spreads. Weighting is the same as 2023.
Balance Sheet | 20% |  |  |  |
Item Rationale: Our balance sheet strategy has been to maintain a strong balance sheet that can weather market cycles. The sub-items continue to be net debt to adjusted EBITDA and credit ratings. Weighting is the same as 2023.
ESG | 15% |  |  |  |
Item Rationale: Our ESG platform continues to grow and obtain recognition. Four sub-items from 2023 will be the sub-items for 2024 and each are determined by a third-party. Weighting is the same as 2023.

The target and actual amounts and the Compensation Committee’s determination of whether an item was met will be disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The remaining 30% of the annual cash incentive will be based on subjective factors, similar to the factors discussed with respect to the 2023 Annual Cash Incentive Opportunity above.

Long-Term Incentive Opportunity. The long-term incentive opportunity for the 2024 executive compensation program for our named executive officers is a long-term incentive award consisting of a mix of performance-based non-vested shares and service-based non-vested shares. Vesting for performance-based non-vested shares is tied to our TSR relative to other REITs, which we think is more appropriate than absolute TSR.

45

The long-term incentive opportunity is as follows:

|  | Performance-Based Opportunity |  |  | Service-Based |  |  | Total Target |  |  | Change
Officer |  | Threshold |  |  | Target |  |  | Maximum |  |  | Award |  |  | Opportunity |  |  | from 2023
T. Wilson Eglin |  | $ | 1,020,000 |  |  | $ | 2,040,000 |  |  | $ | 4,080,000 |  |  | $ | 1,360,000 |  |  | $ | 3,400,000 |  |  | 13 | %
Beth Boulerice |  | $ | 270,000 |  |  | $ | 540,000 |  |  | $ | 1,080,000 |  |  | $ | 360,000 |  |  | $ | 900,000 |  |  | 6 | %
Joseph S. Bonventre |  | $ | 375,000 |  |  | $ | 750,000 |  |  | $ | 1,500,000 |  |  | $ | 500,000 |  |  | $ | 1,250,000 |  |  | 0 | %
Brendan P. Mullinix |  | $ | 315,000 |  |  | $ | 630,000 |  |  | $ | 1,260,000 |  |  | $ | 420,000 |  |  | $ | 1,050,000 |  |  | 5 | %
James Dudley |  | $ | 210,000 |  |  | $ | 420,000 |  |  | $ | 840,000 |  |  | $ | 280,000 |  |  | $ | 700,000 |  |  | 17 | %

The target long-term incentive opportunity for our Chief Executive Officer of $3,400,000 is essentially equal to the average of the median target long-term incentive award in the two peer groups, which we believe is in-line with market.

The number of performance-based non-vested shares (calculated using maximum opportunity level for accounting purposes) and service-based non-vested shares granted and issued was based on the closing price of our common shares on January 5, 2024 (the date specified in the Compensation Committee’s approval), which was $9.61 per share; with the number of performance-based non-vested shares rounded to the nearest share and the number of service-based non-vested shares rounded up to the nearest 10 shares to avoid fractional shares when vesting. We expect to disclose the amount of performance-based non-vested shares that vest in our definitive proxy statement for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

CEO 2024 Total Target Direct Compensation

Companywide Retirement and Health and Welfare Benefits.

In addition to the executive compensation programs outlined in this proxy statement, our named executive officers participate in retirement and health and welfare benefits that are available to all employees with no distinction made among any groups of employees other than as required by applicable tax rules. We do not believe that any of these benefits are excessive or above market.

| (1) | The amounts shown include amounts earned but a portion of which may be deferred at the election of the officer under our 401(k) Plan.

| (2) | Equals the aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted in the applicable year computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718. The fair value of share awards subject to time- based vesting conditions or service periods is based on the closing price of the common shares on the date of grant (or, if the date of grant was not a trading day, the last trading day prior to the date of grant) and does not reflect any time-based vesting conditions or service period. The fair value of share awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

| (3) | Amounts were paid pursuant to a non-equity incentive plan described in the applicable year’s definitive proxy statement.

| (4) | Non-qualified deferred compensation consists solely of a trust established for the benefit of Mr. Eglin, into which, in previous years, he had the option to place non-vested common share awards. Dividends on these shares are the same as all those paid on all common shares and are paid by us to the trust, which makes a corresponding distribution to the participant. Earnings consist of dividends and increase/decrease in market value of the common shares in the trust. None of the earnings were above- market. See “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation,” below.

| (5) | Amount represents: (i) the dollar value of life insurance premiums paid by us during the applicable fiscal year with respect to portable life insurance policies for the life of our Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) contributions by us to the executive officer’s account under our 401(k) Plan. The premiums paid by us under company sponsored health care insurance, dental insurance, long-term disability insurance and life insurance available to all employees, are excluded. Dividends paid upon non-vested common shares associated with outstanding equity incentive awards are excluded in accordance with SEC rules as they were reflected in the grant date fair values of such awards. The following table details the 2023 other compensation amounts for each executive officer:

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

The following table sets forth summary information concerning non-qualified deferred compensation for each of the named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2023. Non-qualified deferred compensation consists solely of a trust established for the benefit of Mr. Eglin in which in previous years Mr. Eglin had the option to place non-vested common share awards. Dividends on these shares are the same as all those paid on all common shares and are paid by us to the trust, which makes a corresponding distribution to Mr. Eglin. Earnings consist of dividends paid and the change in market value of the common shares in the trust. The earnings are included in the Summary Compensation Table above.

(1) | In accordance with the trust agreement, complete distribution/withdrawal of Mr. Eglin’s account will be made in the event of a change in control or termination of Mr. Eglin’s employment.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

As of December 31, 2023, each of the named executive officers had the right to receive severance compensation upon the occurrence of certain termination events under a severance arrangement applicable to certain executive officers. None of our named executive officers were entitled to any payments in the event of a change of control without a termination of employment.

The executive severance arrangement provides that the executive officer would be entitled to receive severance payments upon termination by us without “cause” and termination by the executive officer with “good reason”, including if either occurs within a “change in control” (as defined in the severance agreement) equal to two and one half times the base salary, the average of the last two annual cash incentive awards and continuation of certain benefits for two and one half years for Mr. Eglin and two times the base salary, the average of the last two annual cash incentive awards and continuation of certain benefits for two years for all others, and a pro rata annual bonus determined by multiplying the average of the last two annual cash investment awards by a fraction equal to the number of days employed during the calendar year divided by 365 for all of the named executive officers.

Each of the named executive officers would also be entitled to receive severance payments upon termination for “Disability” (as defined in the severance agreement) or death equal to one times the base salary, a pro-rata bonus and continuation of certain benefits for two years.

Upon certain terminations, (x) all non-vested time-based long-term incentive awards, and all non-vested but earned performance-based long-term incentive awards shall accelerate, become fully earned and vested, (y) the end of the performance period for all non-vested but unearned performance- based long-term incentive awards shall be the date of such termination and a pro rata amount of any of such awards then deemed to be earned awards (determined by the number of completed days of the performance period for such

50

award divided by the total number of days in such performance period) shall accelerate, become fully earned and vested (provided, that upon certain events in connection the a change in control, all such awards, instead of a pro rata amount of such awards, shall then be deemed earned awards), and (z) all unexercised share option awards shall terminate within six months of such termination of employment.

Our severance arrangements do not contain: (1) a high multiple, (2) any multiple on long-term incentive awards, (3) vesting of all non-vested performance-based awards regardless of whether the performance targets were met, or (4) a “gross-up” of the severance payment to cover the excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, on the benefits, thereby providing such benefits to the employee on a net basis, after payment of excise tax.

The tables below estimate the payments and benefits to each of the named executive officers assuming they were terminated on December 31, 2023. Continuation of benefits are assumed to be paid by a lump-sum payment at termination based on annualized December 2023 premiums. Bonus portion of severance payment is based on the average of the 2023 and 2022 actual annual cash incentive awards. Value of accelerated equity awards (1) is based on the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on December 29, 2023 of $9.92 per share, and (2) consists of time-based non-vested shares set forth in Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table above and a pro rata amount of expected performance-based non-vested shares, based on performance to date (using the methodology used in the Outstanding Equity awards at Fiscal Year-End table above) and the number of days completed in the period, and excludes accrued dividends. Each named executive officer is entitled to a pro-rata bonus equal to the average of the 2023 and 2022 annual cash incentive awards multiplied by a fraction, the denominator of which is 365 and the numerator of which is the number of days from the beginning of the calendar year of termination to the date of termination.

| (3) | Peer group is the MSCI US REIT Index, which is the index in the performance graph provided pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K and the index used in our long-term incentive opportunity. Our long-term incentive opportunity also uses a competitor peer group. Our Compensation Discussion and Analysis discloses two peer groups, a sized-based peer group and a competitor peer group, which the Compensation Committee generally uses to compare our overall compensation practices against peer groups.

| (4) | We have identified Adjusted Company FFO as the most important additional financial metric used to link pay and performance. A definition of Adjusted Company FFO is included in Appendix A and a reconciliation of Adjusted Company FFO to net income is included in our Annual Report.

Financial Measures

Our executive compensation programs have significant pay for performance components. The metrics used for our annual cash incentive opportunities are selected based on our then annual business plan and tended to focus on operational matters. The financial measure used for our annual long-term incentive opportunity is solely based on our TSR.

Adjusted Company FFO and TSR are the two most frequently discussed financial measures used with our investors and analysts. Due to the transition of our portfolio from diversified to industrial and the resulting revenue dilution, our Compensation Committee has not included Adjusted Company FFO in the annual cash incentive opportunity as a metric. The long-term incentive opportunity portion of our executive compensation plan consists of a long-term incentive award 60% of which is performance-based non-vested shares and 40% time-based non-vested shares. The performance-based non-vested shares are split into two tranches: (1) 50% is based on our relative TSR compared to the MSCI US REIT Index after a three-year performance period, and (2) 50% is based on our relative TSR compared to a competitor peer group after a three-year performance period. Performance levels are: (1) threshold requires achieving at least 33rd percentile, (2) target requires achieving at least 50th percentile and (3) maximum requires achieving at least 75th percentile. Straight-line interpolation is used to determine awards for results between performance levels. Dividends on the performance-based non-vested shares accrue and are only payable if and to the extent the shares vest.

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Company Performance

The relationship between compensation actually paid and company performance for the years presented above aligns with our TSR due to the high percentage of total compensation that consists of equity awards.

Net income is not used in our executive compensation program due to fluctuations in net income experienced by real estate companies due to the impact of items such as depreciation and amortization and gains/losses on sales of

53

properties, which was heavily impacted by the disposition volume in recent years as part of our portfolio transition from diversified to industrial. Although, net income is used to determine certain non-GAAP financial measures used in our executive compensation plan.

Adjusted Company FFO was not used in our executive compensation program for the years presented above due to the impact of our portfolio transition. The portfolio transition entailed selling higher yielding, but riskier office and other assets and recycling the proceeds into lower yielding, but less risky warehouse and distribution assets that have greater rent growth and releasing potential. As a result of such impact, Adjusted Company FFO has not been aligned with compensation actually paid.

54

The following illustrates our cumulative TSR for the four-year period beginning December 31, 2019 versus the MSCI US REIT Index.

CEO PAY RATIO

For 2023, the annual total compensation of our median employee (other than our CEO) was $167,375 and the annual total compensation of our CEO was $5,380,014, and the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be 32 to 1.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees we used Medicare wages and tips for all employees as of December 31, 2023. The annual total compensation of our median employee and our CEO were calculated in accordance with the requirements for the Summary Compensation Table above.

(1) | Richard S. Frary did not stand for reelection at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with the retirement policy set forth in the Trust’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which prohibits a trustee from being nominated for re-election unless he or she will be 75 years of age or younger on the first day of such term, and requires such trustee to retire from the Board of Trustees effective as of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders.

In 2023, the non-employee trustee compensation arrangements were as follows:

Retainer Type |  | Retainer Amount ($) |
General Cash |  | $ | 60,000 |
General Vested Common Share |  | $ | 120,000 |
Lead Trustee – Cash |  | $ | 30,000 |
Audit and Cyber Risk Chair – Cash |  | $ | 20,000 |
Compensation Chair – Cash |  | $ | 15,000 |
Nominating and ESG Chair – Cash |  | $ | 15,000 |

56

The retainers are paid quarterly in arrears and the portion of the retainer paid in common shares will be based on the average closing price over the applicable quarter.

Non-employee trustees also receive reimbursement of their out-of-pocket travel costs to attend meetings.

Any initial equity award for a newly appointed or elected trustee will be decided by the Compensation Committee on a case-by-case basis.

The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee has determined that the non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm are compatible with maintaining the accounting firm’s independence. All of the services set forth above in the categories “Audit-related fees,” “Tax fees” and “All other fees” were pre-approved by the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee, as set forth below.

The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee of the Board of Trustees must pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and has adopted appropriate policies in this regard. With regard to fees, annually, the independent registered public accounting firm provides the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee with an engagement letter outlining the scope of the audit services proposed to be performed during the fiscal year. Upon the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee’s acceptance of and agreement to the engagement letter, the services within the scope of the proposed audit services are deemed pre-approved pursuant to this policy. The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee must pre-approve any change in the scope of the audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm and any change in fees relating to any such change. Specific audit-

57

related services and tax services are pre-approved by the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee, subject to limitation on the dollar amount of such fees, which dollar amount is established annually by the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee. Services not specifically identified and described within the categories of audit services, audit-related services and tax services must be expressly pre-approved by the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee prior to us engaging any such services, regardless of the amount of the fees involved. The Chairperson of the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee is delegated the authority to grant such pre-approvals. The decisions of the Chairperson to pre-approve any such activity shall be presented to the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee at its next scheduled meeting. In accordance with the foregoing, the retention by management of our independent registered public accounting firm for tax consulting services for specific projects is pre-approved, provided, that the annual cost of all such retentions does not exceed $100,000. The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee does not delegate to management its responsibilities to pre-approve services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT AND CYBER RISK COMMITTEE

The management of LXP Industrial Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Trust”), is responsible for the internal controls and financial reporting process of the Trust.

The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Audit and Cyber Risk Committee”) is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes. The charter of the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee is designed to assist the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee in complying with applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the New York Stock Exchange’s listing rules, all of which relate to corporate governance and many of which directly or indirectly affect the duties, powers and responsibilities of the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee. Among the duties, powers and responsibilities of the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee as provided in the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee charter, the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee:

In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee met with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to review and discuss the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements. The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee has discussed with Deloitte the matters required to be discussed by the PCAOB Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU Section 380), as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3200T. The Audit and Cyber Risk Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Deloitte’s communications with the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee concerning independence, and discussed with Deloitte its independence.

Based upon the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee’s discussions with management and Deloitte referred to above, and the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee’s review of the representations of management, the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee recommended that the Board of Trustees of the Trust include the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2024.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why did you send me an Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the LXP Industrial Trust Shareholder Meeting to be Held on May 21, 2024?

We sent you the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the LXP Industrial Trust Shareholder Meeting to be Held on May 21, 2024, or the Notice, regarding this proxy statement because we are holding the Annual Meeting and our Board of Trustees is asking for your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. We have summarized information in this proxy statement that you should consider in deciding how to vote at the Annual Meeting. You do not have to attend the Annual Meeting in order to have your shares voted. Instead, you may simply authorize a proxy to vote your shares electronically via the Internet, by telephone or by completing and returning the proxy card if you requested paper proxy materials. Voting instructions are provided in the Notice. If you requested printed materials, the instructions are printed on your proxy card and included in the accompanying proxy statement.

Why did I receive the Notice instead of a paper copy of proxy materials?

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, has approved “Notice and Access” rules relating to the delivery of proxy materials over the Internet. These rules permit us to furnish to shareholders proxy materials related to the Annual Meeting, including this proxy statement and our related annual report, by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they properly request them. Instead, the Notice, which was mailed to shareholders, provides notice of the Annual Meeting and instructs you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet or by telephone. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet or by telephone. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice. Any request to receive proxy materials by mail or email will remain in effect until you properly revoke it.

How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of shareholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a shareholder as of the close of business on the Record Date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held and members of our Board of Trustees and management will also attend by webcast.

You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting https://meetnow.global/MM6K9CF. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the Annual Meeting by webcast.

Why are you holding a virtual meeting instead of a physical meeting?

Attendance at our past, in-person, annual meetings has been sparse. In 2020, we held our first virtual meeting primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We believe that hosting a virtual meeting provides expanded access, improved communication and cost savings. In future years, we expect to continue to provide a virtual option to attend our annual meetings of shareholders.

Who is entitled to vote?

All shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. There was no other class of voting securities of the Company outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date other than common shares.

What is the quorum for the Annual Meeting?

In order for any business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting, the holders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting must be present, either in person via webcast or represented by proxy. For the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted as present. As of the close of business on the Record Date, 294,289,569 common shares were issued and outstanding representing an equal number of votes entitled to be cast. Therefore, in order for a quorum to be present, holders of at least 147,144,785 common shares must be present, either in person via webcast or represented by proxy.

What is a broker non-vote?

Broker votes occur when a broker or nominee has either received voting instructions from the beneficial owner on how to vote the beneficial owner’s shares or casts a discretionary vote without voting instructions from the beneficial owner on a “routine” matter, (as defined by the NYSE). In contrast, broker non-votes occur when a broker or nominee has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner on a “non-routine” matter, as defined by the NYSE and, therefore, is not permitted under NYSE rules to cast a discretionary vote on that matter.

63

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

Depending on the proposal, your shares may be voted if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm, even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions, which are broker votes as discussed above. The proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is generally considered a “routine” matter for which brokerage firms may vote shares without receiving voting instructions, unless there is a contested matter being voted upon at the Annual Meeting, as described above. The election of trustees and the advisory resolution on the compensation of our named executive officers are considered “non-routine matters” and if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions on these proposals, your shares will not be voted on these proposals and will be considered broker non-votes.

How many votes do I have?

Each common share outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each trustee to be elected at the Annual Meeting and to cast one vote on each other item properly submitted for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote or authorize a proxy to vote my shares that are held of record by me?

| ● | Via Internet: Log on to www.envisionreports.com/LXP and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted for certain information that can be found on your proxy card or Notice.

| ● | By Telephone: Call toll-free 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) and follow the instructions. You will be prompted for certain information that can be found on your proxy card or Notice.

| ● | In Person: Vote at the Annual Meeting online via webcast.

How do I vote or authorize a proxy to vote my shares that are held by my bank, broker or other nominee?

If you have shares held by a bank, broker or other nominee (which is also known as holding shares in “street name”), you may instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares by following the instructions that the bank, broker or other nominee provides to you. Most banks, brokers or other nominees offer voting instructions by mail, telephone and on the Internet. If your shares are held in “street name,” your bank, broker or other nominee will not vote your shares unless you provide such instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares. If you would like to vote in person via webcast at the Annual Meeting, you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee and follow your bank’s, broker’s or other nominee’s instructions, including the instructions on how to obtain a proxy.

Are dissenters’ or appraisal rights available to Shareholders with respect to any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting?

No dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available with respect to any of the proposals being submitted to shareholders for their consideration at the Annual Meeting.

What am I voting on?

You will be voting on the following proposals:

| (1) | to elect eight trustees to serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or their earlier removal or resignation and until their respective successors, if any, are elected and qualify;

| (2) | to consider and vote upon an advisory, non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement;

| (3) | to consider and vote upon the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and

| (4) | to transact such other business as may properly come before the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

64

Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?

The Board of Trustees is not presently aware of any other items of business to be properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals noted above. Nonetheless, in case there is an unforeseen need, your proxy gives discretionary authority to Joseph S. Bonventre and Beth Boulerice, or either of them, with respect to any other matters that might be properly presented at the meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Why am I being asked to vote on executive compensation?

The Dodd-Frank Act requires us, as a public company, to seek a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders to approve the compensation awarded to our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement. Based on the non-binding advisory recommendation selecting an annual frequency of such non-binding advisory votes at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we are currently seeking a vote from shareholders on an advisory resolution to approve the compensation awarded to our named executive officers on an annual basis. This advisory vote is non-binding, but the Board of Trustees considers our shareholders’ concerns and takes them into account in determinations concerning our executive compensation program. See “Compensation of Executive Officers,” above. We expect to next seek a recommendation on the frequency of such non-binding advisory votes at the 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

How many votes are required to act on the proposals?

Assuming a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of common shares at the Annual Meeting will be sufficient for (1) the election of each nominee for trustee named herein, (2) the adoption of the advisory, non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, and (3) the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

If you abstain or your shares are treated as broker non-votes, your abstention or broker non-votes will not be counted as a vote cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote on (1) the election of trustees, or (2) the resolution to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers. As noted above, the proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors is generally considered a “routine” matter for which brokerage firms may vote shares without receiving voting instructions, unless there is a contested matter being voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, there will be no broker non-votes regarding the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and any abstentions by you or your broker will have no effect on the result of the vote. The election of trustees and the advisory, non-binding resolution on the compensation of our named executive officers are considered “non- routine matters” and if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions on these proposals, your shares will not be voted on these proposals and will be “broker non-votes.”

For purposes of the election of trustees, a majority of votes cast means the number of shares voted “FOR” a nominee must exceed the number of shares cast “AGAINST” with respect to a nominee. If a nominee that is already serving as a trustee is not elected, such trustee is required to offer to tender their resignation to our Board of Trustees. The Nominating and ESG Committee will make a recommendation to our Board of Trustees on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. Our Board of Trustees is required to act on the Nominating and ESG Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The trustee who tenders their resignation will not participate in our Board of Trustee’s decision.

For purposes of the remaining proposals properly brought before the Annual Meeting other than the election of trustees, a majority of votes cast means the number of shares voted “FOR” a proposal must exceed the number of shares as to which the holders elected to vote “AGAINST” such proposal. The votes on (1) the advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, and (2) the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, are non-binding and serve only as recommendations to the Board of Trustees and the Audit and Cyber Risk Committee, as applicable.

65

What happens if I authorize my proxy without voting on all proposals?

When you return a properly executed proxy card or authorize your proxy telephonically or by the Internet, the shares that the proxy card or authorization represents will be voted in accordance with your directions. If you return the signed proxy card with no direction on a proposal, other than in the case of broker non-votes, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted in favor of (FOR) each of our nominees for trustee in Proposal No. 1 and in favor of (FOR) Proposals No. 2, and No. 3 and will be voted in the discretion of the proxy holder on any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

What if I want to change my vote after I return my proxy?

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before its exercise by:

| (1) | delivering written notice of revocation to our Secretary at c/o LXP Industrial Trust, 515 N. Flagler Drive, Suite 408, West Palm Beach, FL 33401;

| (2) | submitting to us a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date;

| (3) | authorizing a proxy via the Internet or by telephone at a later date; or

| (4) | attending the Annual Meeting and voting at the annual meeting online via webcast;

provided, however, that no such revocation under clause (1) or (2) shall be effective until written notice of revocation or a later dated proxy card is received by our Secretary on or before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 20, 2024.

Participating in our Annual Meeting will not constitute a revocation of a previously delivered proxy unless you affirmatively indicate at our Annual Meeting that you intend to vote your shares by voting your shares online during the Annual Meeting webcast.

If you have shares held by a broker, you must follow the instructions given by your broker to change or revoke your voting instructions.

Will anyone contact me regarding this vote?

It is contemplated that brokerage houses will forward the proxy materials to shareholders at our request. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, our trustees, officers, and other employees may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, or personal interviews without additional compensation. We may, from time to time, engage and pay outside proxy solicitation firms, although we have not engaged an outside firm at this time.

Who has paid for this proxy solicitation?

We will bear the cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the Notice, proxy card, proxy statement, and other materials that may be sent to shareholders in connection with this solicitation. We may also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons.

How do I nominate a trustee or submit a proposal for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

If you wish to submit a shareholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, you must submit the proposal to our Secretary at our principal executive office no later than December 9, 2024.

If you wish to submit a trustee nomination pursuant to the “proxy access” provisions of our bylaws for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, you must submit the trustee nomination in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.13 of our bylaws not earlier than November 9, 2024 and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 9, 2024.

66

In addition, any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal or trustee nomination pursuant to the “advance notice” provisions of our bylaws for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (other than pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act) must comply with Section 1.11 our bylaws, including delivering the required information and certifications to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not earlier than November 9, 2024 and not later than the close of business on December 9, 2024.

Further, in addition to satisfying the foregoing advance notice requirements under our bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules under the Exchange Act shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Trust’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, no later than March 22, 2025.

Our Board of Trustees will review any shareholder proposals or trustee nominations that are timely submitted and will determine whether such proposals meet the criteria for inclusion in the proxy solicitation materials or for consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokers. Please complete and return all proxy cards to ensure that all your shares are voted.

Can I find additional information on the Company’s web site?

Yes. Our web site is located at www.LXP.com.

Appendix A

Certain Definitions

“GAAP” means United States generally accepted accounting principles in effect from time to time.

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) modified to include other adjustments to GAAP net income for gains on sales of properties, impairment charges, debt satisfaction gains (losses), net, non-cash charges, net, straight-line adjustments, non-recurring charges, the non-cash impact of sales-type leases and adjustments for pro-rata share of non-wholly owned entities. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

“Base Rent” means GAAP rental revenue and ancillary income, but excluding billed tenant reimbursements and lease termination income. Base Rent excludes reserves/write-offs of deferred rent receivable, as applicable. We believe Base Rent provides a meaningful measure due to the net lease structure of leases in the portfolio.

“Cash Base Rent” is calculated by making adjustments to GAAP rental revenue to remove the impact of GAAP required adjustments to rental income such as adjustments for straight-line rents related to free rent periods and contractual rent increases. Cash Base Rent excludes billed tenant reimbursements, non-cash sales-type lease income and lease termination income and includes ancillary income. We believe Cash Base Rent provides a meaningful indication of an investments ability to fund cash needs.

“Net operating income (NOI)” is a measure of operating performance used to evaluate the individual performance of an investment. This measure is not presented or intended to be viewed as a liquidity or performance measure that presents a numerical measure of our historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows. We define NOI as operating revenues (rental income (less GAAP rent adjustments, non-cash income related to sales-type leases and lease termination income, net), and other property income) less property operating expenses. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, Our NOI may not be comparable to other companies. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, other nonproperty income and losses, and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing a perspective on operations not immediately apparent from net income. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI.

“Funds from Operations (FFO)” and “Adjusted Company FFO” is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as “net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. The reconciling items include amounts to adjust earnings from consolidated partially-owned entities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates to FFO.” FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

We present FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - basic and also present FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders

A-1

- diluted on a company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the holder's option, into our common shares, are converted at the beginning of the period. We also present Adjusted Company FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders - diluted, which adjusts FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders - diluted for certain items which we believe are not indicative of the operating results of our real estate portfolio. We believe this is an appropriate presentation as it is frequently requested by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties. Since others do not calculate these measures in a similar fashion, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

The calculations of FFO and Adjusted Company FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders – diluted and related reconciliations are available in our Annual Report.

“Same-store NOI” represents the NOI for consolidated properties that were owned, stabilized and included in our portfolio for two comparable reporting periods. As Same-Store NOI excludes the change in NOI from acquired and disposed of properties, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Store NOI, and accordingly, our Same-Store NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. Management believes that Same-Store NOI is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. However, Same-Store NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other nonproperty income and losses, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact our results from operations. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Same-Store NOI. The calculation of Same-Store NOI and the related reconciliation are available in our Annual Report.
