Each FFO unit represented a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock, based on the Company's achievement of an earnings per share target for a performance period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2011 and a funds from operations target for a performance period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2013.
(2) Represents shares withheld by the Issuer in accordance with Rule 16b-3 to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of certain of the FFO units previously granted to the reporting person.
