Footnotes:
- F1: The OP Profits Units vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant or the next annual stockholder meeting and were issued under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan.
- F2: Once vested, each OP Profits Unit may be converted (at the holder’s election) into a Common Unit of the Operating Partnership; Common Units may be redeemed for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of Americold common stock or, at the company’s election, exchanged for one share of common stock.
