Equity Awards Approved in 2018
 
On March 5, 2018, the Board approved the recommendations of the Compensation Committee of the Board with respect to the granting of Long-Term Performance-Based Incentive LTIP Awards (the “Long-Term Performance Awards”) and Long-Term Time-Based Incentive LTIP Awards (the “Long-Term Time-Based Awards”) to certain executive officers of the Company and employees of the Advisor who perform services for the Company, both of which were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
Long-Term Performance-Based Awards
 
The Long-Term Performance-Based Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of LTIP Long-Term Performance-Based Award Agreements (“LTIP Long-Term Performance-Based Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee. The number of LTIP Units that each grantee is entitled to earn under the LTIP Long-Term Performance-Based Award Agreements will be determined following the conclusion of a three-year performance period based on the Company’s total shareholder return, which is determined based on a combination of appreciation in stock price and dividends paid during the performance period (“TSR”). Each grantee may earn up to 200% of the number of target LTIP units covered by the grantee’s Long-Term Performance-Based Award. Any target LTIP Units that are not earned will be forfeited and cancelled. The number of LTIP Units earned under the Long-Term Performance-Based Awards will be determined as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the three-year performance period based on the Company’s TSR on an absolute basis (as to 75% of the Long-Term Performance-Based Award) and relative to the SNL Healthcare REIT Index (as to 25% of the Long-Term Performance-Based Award). 
 
Vesting. LTIP units that are earned as of the end of the applicable performance period will be subject to forfeiture restrictions that will lapse (“vesting”), subject to continued employment through each vesting date, in two installments as follows: 50% of the earned LTIP units will vest upon being earned as of the end of the applicable performance period and the remaining 50% will vest on the first anniversary of the date on which such LTIP units are earned.
 
Distributions. Pursuant to the LTIP Long-Term Performance-Based Award Agreements, distributions equal to the dividends declared and paid by the Company will accrue during the applicable performance period on the maximum number of LTIP Units that the grantee could earn and will be paid with respect to all of the earned LTIP Units at the conclusion of the applicable performance period, in cash or by the issuance of additional LTIP Units at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board.
 
Long-Term Time-Based Awards
 
The Long-Term Time-Based Awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of LTIP Unit Award Agreements between the Company and each grantee. Long-Term Time-Based Awards become vested, and cease to be subject to forfeiture, in equal one-third increments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, which was March 5, 2018.
