• 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. Conversion/redemption rights have no expiration.

Context

• This is a non-cash, equity-based compensation/retention award (derivative interest) rather than an outright stock purchase or sale. The units vest in the future and only potentially convert into economic value (common units, cash, or shares) upon vesting and conversion/redemption elections.
