WHO PAYS THE COST OF THIS PROXY SOLICITATION?

The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies in connection with this Proxy Statement, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials. We will also request banks, brokers and other holders of record to send the proxy materials to, and obtain proxies from, beneficial owners and will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses in doing so. In addition, we have hired Georgeson, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies. We will pay Georgeson, Inc. a base fee of $25,000 for its proxy solicitation services.

IS THIS PROXY STATEMENT THE ONLY WAY THAT PROXIES ARE BEING SOLICITED?

Certain employees or other representatives of the Company may also solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, e-mail or personal contact. They will not be specifically compensated for doing so.

HAS THE COMPANY ADOPTED A MAJORITY VOTING STANDARD?

Yes. Under our By-Laws, in an uncontested election a nominee will be elected only if the number of votes cast FOR a director’s election exceeds the number of votes cast AGAINST that director’s election. A nominee who receives more AGAINST votes than FOR votes will be required to tender his or her resignation, subject to acceptance by the Board. For more information, see the section of this Proxy Statement titled ‘‘Corporate Governance Matters—Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors.’’

WHERE DO I FIND RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP TERMS TO GAAP TERMS?

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides useful information to investors. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 70-73 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, for a definition and reconciliation of FFO to consolidated net income and FFO per share to net income per share. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides useful information to investors. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages 70-73 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, for a definition and reconciliation of NOI to consolidated net income and set forth the computations of portfolio NOI and comparable property NOI.
