Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract] |
SHARE BASED COMPENSATION | 12. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION Restricted Share Rights Awards As of March 31, 2019, 626,649 restricted common share rights (“Restricted Share Rights”) were outstanding under the Equity Incentive Plan. These Restricted Share Rights generally vest over two to three years from the initial grant dates. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized with respect to these awards at March 31, 2019 was $3.4 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.7 years. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized compensation expense related to outstanding Restricted Share Rights of $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were capitalized as part of the Company’s review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization for both periods. The following table summarizes the Company’s Restricted Share Right activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019:
| Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Non-vested at January 1, 2019 |  | 466,439 |  |  | $ | 14.93 |  |  | $ | 70,677 |
Granted |  | 196,667 |  |  |  | 15.61 |  |  |  | 3,070 |
Vested |  | (33,020 | ) |  |  | 15.15 |  |  |  | 298 |
Forfeited |  | (3,437 | ) |  |  | 15.34 |  |  |  | - |

On February 21, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees awarded to officers of the Parent Company an aggregate of 196,667 Restricted Share Rights, which generally vest over two to three years from the grant date. Each Restricted Share Right entitles the holder to one common share upon settlement. The Parent Company pays dividend equivalents on the Restricted Share Rights prior to the settlement date. Vesting and/or settlement would accelerate if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or, in the case of certain of such Restricted Share Rights, retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the otherwise applicable vesting or settlement date. Qualifying retirement generally means the recipient’s voluntary termination of employment after reaching at least age 57 and accumulating at least 15 years of service with the Company. In addition, vesting would also accelerate if the Parent Company were to undergo a change of control and, on or before the first anniversary of the change of control, the recipient’s employment were to cease due to a termination without cause or resignation with good reason. The Restricted Share Rights granted in 2019 to certain senior executives and that vest over three years include an “outperformance feature” whereby additional shares may be earned, up to 200% of the shares subject to the basic award, based on the Company’s achievement of targets for same-store net operating cash income growth and development activity provided certain operating and balance sheet metrics are also achieved during the three-year period ending December 31, 2021. Half of any additional shares earned will vest based on continued service through each of January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023, provided that this additional service requirement will be waived in the event of a death, disability or qualifying retirement. In addition to the basic award, up to 233,890 shares may be awarded under the outperformance feature. These shares have a $3.7 million intrinsic value using a $15.61 weighted average grant date fair value. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has not recognized any compensation expense for these awards as it has been determined that it is not probable that the performance metrics will be achieved. The Company will evaluate progression towards achievement of the performance metrics on a quarterly basis and recognize compensation expense for these awards should it be determined that achievement of these metrics is probable. In accordance with the accounting standard for share-based compensation, the Company amortizes share-based compensation costs through the qualifying retirement dates for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the scheduled vesting period and whose award agreements provide for vesting upon a qualifying retirement. Restricted Performance Share Units Plan The Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees has granted performance share-based awards (referred to as Restricted Performance Share Units, or RPSUs) to officers of the Parent Company. The RPSUs are settled in common shares, with the number of common shares issuable in settlement determined based on the Parent Company’s total shareholder return over specified measurement periods compared to total shareholder returns of an index over the measurement periods. The table below presents certain information as to unvested RPSU awards.

The Company values each RPSU on its grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair values of each award are being amortized over the three year performance period. During the performance period, dividend equivalents are credited as additional RPSU’s, subject to the same terms and conditions as the original RPSU’s. The performance period will be abbreviated and the delivery of earned shares will be accelerated in the event of a change in control or if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the end of the otherwise applicable three year performance period. In accordance with the accounting standard for share-based compensation, the Company amortizes stock-based compensation costs through the qualifying retirement date for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the schedule vesting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2019, 2018 and 2017 RPSU awards of $2.7 million, of which $0.4 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2018, 2017 and 2016 RPSU awards of $2.6 million, of which $0.5 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at March 31, 2019 was approximately $4.0 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.1 years. The Company issued 147,111 common shares on February 1, 2019 in settlement of RPSUs that had been awarded on February 22, 2016 (with a three-year measurement period ended December 31, 2018). Holders of these RPSUs also received a cash dividend of $0.19 per share for these common shares on January 22, 2019.
