Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Text Block] |
11. | Equity Incentive Plan
The Company maintains its Equity Incentive Plan to attract and retain independent trustees, executive officers and other key employees. The plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares, share awards, share appreciation rights, performance units and other equity-based awards. The plan was amended on May 6, 2025 to increase the maximum number of shares available under the plan by 2,150,000 shares and to increase the individual grant limit with respect to performance units. The plan has a 10-year term that expires on March 22, 2032. Share awards under the plan generally vest over three to five years, though compensation for the Company’s independent trustees includes share grants that vest immediately. The Company pays dividends on unvested shares and units, except for performance-based units, for which 10% of dividends on unvested performance-based units are paid and the remaining 90% of dividends are accrued and not paid until those units vest. Certain awards may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. In January 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 61,551 and 43,670 common shares, respectively, to its independent trustees as compensation for services performed in 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, there were 2,271,462 common shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. Restricted Share Awards From time to time, the Company may award restricted shares under the Equity Incentive Plan as compensation to officers, employees and non-employee trustees. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance. A summary of the Company’s restricted share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $81 thousand and $33 thousand, respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted share awards. As of June 30, 2025, these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized approximately $10 thousand and $15 thousand, respectively, of expense related to the restricted share awards, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized approximately $17 thousand and $27 thousand, respectively, of expense related to the restricted share awards. Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards LTIP units are a special class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership which may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Company. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, each LTIP unit issued is deemed equivalent to an award of one common share thereby reducing the number of shares available for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. A summary of the Company's LTIP unit awards for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:

Time-Based LTIP Awards On March 1, 2025, the Company’s Operating Partnership, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, granted 253,722 time-based LTIP unit awards (the “2025 Time-Based LTIP Unit Award”). The grants were made pursuant to award agreements that provide for time-based vesting (the "LTIP Unit Time-Based Vesting Agreement"). Time-based LTIP unit awards will vest ratably provided that the recipient remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of the recipient’s death, disability, termination without cause or resignation with good reason, or in the event of a change of control of the Company. Prior to vesting, a holder is entitled to receive distributions on the LTIP units that comprise the 2025 Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards and the prior year LTIP unit awards set forth in the table above. Performance-Based LTIP Awards On March 1, 2025, the Company's Operating Partnership, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, also granted 380,571 performance-based LTIP unit awards (the "2025 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards"). The grants were made pursuant to award agreements that have market-based vesting conditions. The Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards are comprised of Class A Performance LTIP Units that will vest only if and to the extent that (i) the Company achieves certain long-term market-based total shareholder return ("TSR") criteria established by the Compensation Committee and (ii) the recipient remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of the recipient’s death, disability, termination without cause or resignation with good reason, or in the event of a change of control of the Company. Compensation expense is based on an estimated value of $9.37 per 2025 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Award, which takes into account that the number of units that ultimately may vest will depend on the achievement of long-term market-based TSR criteria. The 2025 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards have an absolute negative TSR modifier which may reduce payout percentages if the absolute TSR over the measurement period is negative. The 2025 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards may be earned based on the Company’s relative TSR performance for the three-year period beginning on March 1, 2025 and ending on February 29, 2028. The 2025 Performance-Based LTIP Unit Awards, if earned, will be paid out between 50% and 200% of target value as follows:
| Relative TSR Hurdles (Percentile) |  | Payout Percentage |
Threshold | 25th |  | 50% |
Target | 55th |  | 100% |
Maximum | 80th |  | 200% |
Payouts at performance levels in between the hurdles will be calculated by straight-line interpolation. The Company estimated the aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under ASC 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures, using a Monte Carlo approach. In determining the discounted value of the LTIP units, the Company considered the inherent uncertainty that the LTIP units would never reach parity with the other common units of the Operating Partnership and thus have an economic value of zero to the grantee. Additional factors considered in estimating the value of LTIP units included discounts for illiquidity, expectations for future dividends, risk free interest rates, stock price volatility, and economic environment and market conditions. The grant date fair values of the LTIPs and the assumptions used to estimate the values are as follows:
|  |  | Number of |  |  | Estimated Value |  |  |  |  |  |  | Dividend |  |  | Risk Free |
| Grant Date |  | Units Granted |  |  | Per Unit |  |  | Volatility |  |  | Yield |  |  | Interest Rate |

(1) In February 2024, following the end of the measurement period, the Company’s TSR met certain criteria and based on the Company’s TSR over the measurement period, 170,173 LTIP units vested. (2) In February 2025, following the end of the measurement period, the Company’s TSR met certain criteria and based on the Company’s TSR over the measurement period, 142,905 LTIP units vested. The Company recorded $1.4 million and $1.5 million in compensation expense related to the LTIP units for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.0 million in compensation expense related to the LTIP units for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $9.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to LTIP units. This cost is expected to be recognized over approximately 2.1 years, which represents the weighted-average remaining vesting period of the LTIP units.
