MAIN STREET MATTAWAN MI 49701 1 0 0 0 Common Stock 2016-04-01 4 A 0 438 0 A 41250 D Common Stock 2016-04-01 4 A 0 174 0 A 41424 D These shares represent the quarterly grant of stock under The Taubman Company LLC 2008 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under The Taubman Centers, Inc. Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, each director's account is credited with dividend equivalents on the deferred restricted stock units when the Company pays cash dividends on its common stock (including special dividends, if any), and such dividend equivalents are denominated in additional restricted stock units based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the business day immediately before the record date of the applicable dividend payment. The receipt of such dividends since the last Form 4 filing has been reflected in the column entitled 'amount of securities beneficially owned following reported transaction(s)', but has not been reported as a separate transaction. Under The Taubman Centers, Inc. Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, each non-employee director may defer the receipt of all or a portion of his or her director retainer (cash and stock) until the earlier of the termination of such director's service on the Company's Board of Directors and upon a change of control. Such deferred compensation is denominated in restricted stock units, and the number of restricted stock units received equals the deferred retainer fee divided by the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the business day immediately before the date the director would otherwise have been entitled to receive the retainer fee. Mr. Parfet has elected to defer 50% of the cash-based portion of his retainer fee in 2016, the shares reflected in the table above are the deferred shares for the current quarter. The restricted stock units represent the right to receive equivalent shares of common stock at the end of the deferral period, and each director's account is 100% vested at all times. Therefore, the reporting person has elected to report the deferral as shares of common stock received on the grant date. /s/ Michael S. Ben, Attorney-in-Fact 2016-04-01
