Key Details

• Effective date and term: employment effective June 1, 2026; agreement dated June 18, 2026; initial term ends Jan 1, 2027 with automatic one‑year renewals.
• Pay and bonus: $430,000 annual base salary (pro‑rated for 2026); target annual cash bonus = 60% of base salary (pro‑rated for 2026).
• Equity and performance metrics: eligible for long‑term equity awards (options, restricted stock units, performance RSUs, etc.) subject to time‑ and performance‑based vesting; performance metrics may include FFO per share growth, TSR vs. MSCI US REIT Index, occupancy, NOI, sales, acquisitions, development, capital raising and ESG.
• Termination/severance: if terminated by the company other than for cause, by Mr. Miller for good reason, non‑renewal, or due to death/disability, he is entitled to unpaid prior bonuses and a termination benefit equal to 3x (or 1x for death/disability) the sum of (i) then‑current base salary plus (ii) the average annual cash bonus over the prior three years. Payments are generally made in 36 monthly installments (12 months for death/disability), except a change‑of‑control termination within 24 months may trigger a single lump‑sum payment within 60 days (subject to tax rules). Unvested time‑based equity awards vest ratably over the same 36‑ or 12‑month period following termination.

Why It Matters The filing documents the company’s new finance chief and the specific compensation and severance obligations that accompany his hire. The agreement establishes contractual cash and equity commitments (salary, bonus target, long‑term equity participation, and multi‑year severance/vesting protections) that the company may be required to pay or settle under defined termination scenarios. Investors should note these disclosed compensation terms as they relate to executive leadership changes, potential future cash outflows, and possible equity dilution tied to long‑term awards.
