- Relevant footnotes: F1 explains the vested 2023 RSUs (performance-based, 0–200% payout; vested at 123.1%); F3 notes shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding; F10–F13 and F17 explain LTIP Units are limited partnership units convertible into OP Units and redeemable for cash or, at issuer election, one-for-one for Class A common stock, with varied vesting schedules; F16 describes 2026 RSUs as market-based awards (0–200% payout, vesting based on performance through 12/31/2028).
Context
- The Jan 29 activity was vesting of performance RSUs, not an open-market sale. The “disposed” entries reflect shares withheld to cover tax obligations (a common net-settlement/withholding action), not a directional bet on the stock.
- The Feb 1 awards include LTIP Units (convertible to operating partnership units and ultimately to cash or shares) and performance-based RSUs with multi-year vesting/measurement periods — these are compensation awards, not purchases.
- No late-filing flag was indicated in the provided details; the Form 4 was filed Feb 2, 2026 reporting the Jan 29 and Feb 1 activity.
