As discussed below, on May 8, 2014, Post Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of shareholders, at which the Company’s shareholders approved the Post Properties, Inc. 2015 Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2015 ESPP”).

That summary and the foregoing description of the 2015 ESPP do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2015 ESPP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
