Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Programs

 

Prologis Outperformance Plan (“POP”)

 

We allocate participation points or a percentage of the compensation pool to participants under our POP corresponding to three-year performance periods beginning every January 1. The fair value of the awards is measured at the grant date and amortized over the period from the grant date to the date at which the awards vest, which ranges from three to ten years. The performance hurdle (“Outperformance Hurdle”) at the end of the initial three-year performance period requires our three-year compound annualized total stockholder return (“TSR”) to exceed a threshold set at the three-year compound annualized TSR for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) US REIT Index for the same period plus 100 basis points. If the Outperformance Hurdle is met, a compensation pool will be formed equal to 3% of the excess value created, subject to a maximum as defined for each performance period. POP awards cannot be paid at a time when our absolute TSR is negative, therefore, if after seven years the TSR has not been positive, the awards will be forfeited.  

 

We granted participation points for the 2020 – 2022 performance period in January 2020, with a fair value of $28.8 million using a Monte Carlo valuation model that assumed a risk-free interest rate of 1.7% and an expected volatility of 16.0%. The 2020 – 2022 performance period has an absolute maximum cap of $100 million. If an award is earned at the end of the initial three-year performance

period, then 20% of the POP award is paid and the remaining 80% is subject to additional seven-year cliff vesting. The 20% that is paid at the end of the three-year performance period is subject to an additional three-year holding requirement.      

 

The Outperformance Hurdle was met for the 2017 – 2019 performance period, which resulted in awards being earned at December 31, 2019. Initial awards of $75.0 million in aggregate were awarded in January 2020 in the form of 0.3 million shares of common stock and 0.5 million POP LTIP Units and LTIP Units. Participants are not able to sell or transfer equity awards received until three years after the end of the initial period. One-third of the remaining compensation pool in excess of the $75 million aggregate initial award amounts can be earned at the end of each of the three years following the end of the initial three-year performance period if our performance meets or exceeds the MSCI US REIT Index at the end of each of such three years. Vesting for the 2017 – 2019 performance period for our Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) follows the construct of the 2020 – 2022 performance period as described above, such that 20% of any amounts earned were awarded in January 2020 subject to a three-year holding period, and 80% of amounts earned at December 31, 2019 will cliff vest at the end of the seventh year following the initial three-year performance period.

 

Other Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Programs

 

Our other equity-based compensation plans and programs include (i) the Prologis Promote Plan (“PPP”); (ii) the annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) equity award program (“Annual LTI Award”); and (iii) the annual bonus exchange program. Awards under these plans and programs may be issued in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or LTIP Units at the participant’s election. RSUs and LTIP Units are valued based on the market price of the Parent’s common stock on the date the award is granted and the grant date value is charged to compensation expense over the service period.

Vested and unvested units were based on the POP performance criteria being met for the 2017 – 2019 performance period and represented the earned award amounts. Vested and unvested units are included in the award discussion above. These amounts also include awards earned for prior performance periods related to the compensation pool in excess of the initial award.
