Simon 2018 Proxy Statement

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES

Amendments to the 2011 CEO Retention Agreement. Effective as of December 31, 2013 David Simon, the Operating Partnership and the Company amended and restated the Series CEO LTIP Unit Award Agreement dated as of July 6, 2011, as amended on December 22, 2011, March 29, 2013 as further amended and restated effective as of December 31, 2013 (as amended and restated, the ‘‘2011 CEO Retention Agreement’’). The 2011 CEO Retention Agreement, which was previously entirely service-based, will now become eligible to vest based on the attainment of Company based performance goals, in addition to a service-based vesting requirement. The 2011 CEO Retention Agreement provides that if the relevant performance criteria are not achieved, Mr. Simon will forfeit all or a portion of such award. The performance criteria in the 2011 CEO Retention Agreement are designed to incentivize Mr. Simon to continue upon the Company’s outstanding performance achieved under his leadership, and in the interest of aligning the 2011 CEO Retention Agreement with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, which has been instrumental in the creation of exceptional long-term shareholder value. Prior to the December 31, 2013 amendment and restatement, Mr. Simon’s 1,000,000 CEO LTIP Units originally granted under the Series CEO LTIP Unit Award Agreement dated as of July 6, 2011 vested over an eight year period, with one third vesting in 2017, one third vesting in 2018 and one third vesting in 2019. Pursuant to the 2011 CEO Retention Agreement, effective December 31, 2013, 720,000 of such CEO LTIP Units were cancelled and in respect thereof 360,000 CEO LTIP Units were granted to David Simon on December 31, 2013 (the ‘‘A Units’’) and 360,000 CEO LTIP Units were granted to David Simon on January 1, 2014 (the ‘‘B Units’’). 280,000 of the CEO LTIP Units granted on July 6, 2011 were cancelled on January 1, 2015 and in respect thereof 280,000 CEO LTIP Units were granted on January 1, 2015 (the ‘‘C Units’’). The A Units, B Units and C Units may only be earned if and to the extent the applicable performance criteria and vesting requirements are met, as set forth below. Because the Company achieved FFO per share in excess of $8.86 in 2015, Mr. Simon earned 100% of the A Units. If the Company had not achieved FFO per share of at least $8.07 for 2015, then the 360,000 A Units would not have been earned. If the Company had achieved FFO per share of $8.07 for 2015, then 50% of such A Units would have been earned, subject to fulfillment of additional service-based vesting requirements. If the Company had achieved FFO per share of greater than $8.07 but less than $8.86 for 2015, then the number of A Units that would have been earned would have been between 50% and 100% based on linear interpolation, subject to fulfillment of additional service-based vesting requirements. Because the Company achieved FFO per share in excess of $9.40 in 2016, Mr. Simon earned 100% of the B Units. If the Company did not achieve FFO per share of at least $8.43 for 2016, then the 360,000 B Units would not have been earned. If the Company achieved FFO per share of $8.43 for 2016, then 50% of such B Units would have been earned, subject to fulfillment of additional service-based vesting requirements. If the Company had achieved FFO per share of greater than $8.43 but less than $9.40 for 2016, then the number of B Units that would have been earned would have been between 50% and 100% based on linear interpolation, subject to fulfillment of additional service-based vesting requirements. Because the Company achieved FFO per share in excess of $9.80 in 2017, Mr. Simon earned 100% of the C Units. If the Company did not achieve FFO per share of at least $8.62 for 2017, then the 280,000 C Units would not have been earned. If the Company achieved FFO per share of $8.62 for 2017, then 50% of such C Units would have been earned, subject to fulfillment of additional service-based vesting requirements. If the Company had achieved FFO per share of greater than $8.62 but less than $9.80 for 2017, then the number of C Units that would have been earned would have been between 50% and 100% based on linear interpolation, subject to fulfillment of additional service-based vesting requirements. The earned A Units vested on January 1, 2018. The earned B Units shall vest on January 1, 2019 and the earned C Units shall vest on June 30, 2019, in each case subject to David Simon’s continued employment or service with the Company through such applicable date, provided that the B Units and C Units may become vested earlier upon certain terminations of employment or service, as set forth below. The 2011 CEO Retention Agreement contains a double trigger change in control provision which requires David Simon to be terminated by us without Cause or to resign for Good Reason, in each case during the period commencing six months prior to and ending eighteen months after the change in control, in order for the CEO LTIP Units to vest in connection with a change in control. The 2011 CEO Retention Agreement provides that if David Simon dies or his employment or service is terminated by us due to Disability, then all unvested CEO LTIP Units will automatically vest. If David Simon’s employment or service is terminated by us without Cause or by Mr. Simon for Good Reason, then the unearned CEO LTIP Units will not automatically vest, but will be eligible to vest as follows: (i) if such termination occurs after June 30, 2015 and on or prior to December 31, 2017, a portion of the remaining Unvested CEO LTIP Units will be earned equal to the product of (A) 100% of the unearned CEO LTIP Units that will vest if and to the extent that the Termination FFO per share is equal to or greater than FFO B per share (as defined below) for the year of
