Appointment of New President

Tyler Rose, President and Secretary of Kilroy Realty Corporation (the “Company”), is a party to an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), dated January 28, 2016, with the Company and Kilroy Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The term of the Employment Agreement was scheduled to end on March 1, 2023 and Mr. Rose from time to time has raised the possibility that he could retire. On November 30, 2022, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Mr. Rose pursuant to which Mr. Rose will continue to serve the Company and the Operating Partnership through, and his employment will end and he will cease to be an officer on, the scheduled expiration date of the Employment Agreement, March 1, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). The Separation Agreement provides that the Company will pay Mr. Rose a cash benefit of $1.2 million, the Company will reimburse Mr. Rose for his costs to continue healthcare coverage under COBRA through December 31, 2024, and Mr. Rose will be entitled to accelerated vesting of his Company long-term incentive equity awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of those awards. Further, Mr. Rose has agreed to provide an additional year of transition support to the Company and the Operating Partnership following the Separation Date. The Separation Agreement also includes a release of claims.

On December 5, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Justin Smart, currently President, Development and Construction Services, to serve as President of the Company, effective as of the Separation Date. Biographical information for Mr. Smart, age 63, is described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 8, 2022.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Smart and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Smart was appointed as President. In addition, no family relationship exists between Mr. Smart and any director or other executive officer of the Company or the Operating Partnership. Mr. Smart’s son, Cooper Smart, is employed by the Company in a non-executive position and his overall compensation, including salary, bonus and other benefits, for 2022 is not expected to exceed $160,000. Other than the foregoing or as disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2022, there are no transactions in which Mr. Smart has an interest that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On December 5, 2022 and in connection with Mr. Smart’s promotion, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) approved an increase to Mr. Smart’s rate of base salary to $600,000 annually, effective on the Separation Date, and increased his target annual cash incentive level to $900,000, effective beginning in 2023.
