Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Share-based awards are provided to officers, non-officer employees, and trustees under the 2025 Incentive Plan approved by shareholders on May 14, 2025 (the “2025 Incentive Plan”), which allows for awards in the form of cash, unrestricted and restricted common shares, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and RSUs up to an aggregate of 650,000 shares over the ten- year period in which the plan is in effect. Under the 2025 Incentive Plan, officers and non-officer employees may earn share awards under a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), which is a forward-looking program that measures long-term performance over the stated performance period. These awards are payable to the extent deemed earned in shares. The terms of the long-term incentive awards granted under the program may vary from year to year. Generally, time-based RSUs include the right to receive dividend equivalents either upon vesting or as distributions are declared on common shares. Through June 30, 2026, awards under the 2025 Incentive Plan consisted of RSUs. The Company accounts for forfeitures of restricted and unrestricted common shares, RSUs, and stock options when they occur instead of estimating the forfeitures. Prior to the approval of the 2025 Incentive Plan, share based awards were provided to officers, non-officer employees, and trustees under the 2015 Incentive Plan approved by shareholders on September 15, 2015, as amended and restated on May 18, 2021 (the “2015 Incentive Plan”), which allowed for awards in the form of cash, unrestricted and restricted common shares, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and RSUs up to an aggregate of 775,000 shares over the ten-year period in which the plan was in effect. Through June 30, 2026, awards under the 2015 Incentive Plan consisted of restricted and unrestricted common shares, RSUs, and stock options. 2026 LTIP Awards Awards granted to employees on January 1, 2026, under the 2025 Incentive Plan, consisted of an aggregate of 34,599 time-based RSU awards and 20,635 performance RSUs based on total shareholder return (“TSR”). The time-based RSUs vest as to one-third of the shares on each of January 1, 2027, January 1, 2028, and January 1, 2029. The performance RSUs are earned based on the Company’s TSR as compared to the FTSE Nareit Equity Index over a forward looking three-year period. The maximum number of performance RSUs eligible to be earned is 41,270 RSUs, which is 200% of the performance RSUs granted. Earned awards (if any) will fully vest as of the last day of the measurement period. These awards have market conditions in addition to service conditions that must be met for the awards to vest. Compensation expense is recognized ratably based on the grant date fair value, as determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model, regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest. Therefore, previously recorded compensation expense is not adjusted in the event that the market conditions are not achieved. The Company based the expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of the Company’s daily closing share price, the risk-free interest rate on U.S. treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the remaining performance period of the award, and the expected term on the performance period of the award. The assumptions used to value the TSR performance RSUs were an expected volatility of 25.69%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.55%, and an expected life of 3 years. The share price at the grant date, January 1, 2026, was $66.72 per share. Awards granted to trustees on May 13, 2026, under the 2025 Incentive Plan, consist of 7,472 time-based RSUs, which vest on May 13, 2027. These awards are classified as equity awards. Share-Based Compensation Expense Total share-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for all outstanding share-based awards was $1.1 million and $833,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $2.2 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
