(1) Aggregate earnings include dividends paid on, and appreciation of, shares of our common stock held in the plan. (2) Of the amounts in this column, the following amounts are or were previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table: Mr. David Simon—$9,282,181; Mr. Sokolov—$0; Mr. Juster—$0; Mr. Rulli—$0; and Mr. Fivel—$0. The assets of our deferred compensation plan are held in what is commonly referred to as a ‘‘rabbi trust’’ arrangement. This means the assets of the plan are subject to the claims of our general creditors in the event of our insolvency. The plan assets are invested by the trustee in its sole discretion. Payments of a participant’s elective deferrals are made as elected by the participant. These amounts would be paid earlier in the event of termination of employment or death of the participant, an unforeseen emergency affecting the participant as determined by the Committee or a change in control of the Company. We have not made any contributions to the executive account of our deferred compensation plan since its inception in 1995. As a result, the contributions and aggregate balances shown in the table above are composed entirely of contributions made by the executives from their salary, bonus or restricted stock awards for prior years and earnings on those amounts. The earnings do not represent above-market or preferential rates. The executives may vote and are entitled to receive dividends on their restricted stock awards in the plan. Deferral elections are made by eligible executives each year for amounts to be earned or granted in the following year. An executive may defer all or a portion of salary, Annual Cash Incentive Compensation or awards under the 1998 Plan. The investment options available to an executive under the deferral program vary depending upon the type of compensation being deferred.
