EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 22, 2002, JDN Realty Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 (the “Initial 10-K”). In accordance with SEC rules, the Company incorporated by reference Part III of the Initial 10-K from the Proxy Statement to be filed by the Company in connection with the 2002 JDN Realty Corporation Annual Shareholders’ Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”), which the Company anticipated filing on or before April 30, 2002. Since the filing date of the Initial 10-K, the Company has determined that it will not file its Proxy Statement prior to the April 30, 2002 deadline and, in accordance with SEC rules, must file an amendment to its Initial 10-K to include the disclosures required by Part III of Form 10-K. This report amends Part III of the Initial 10-K in order to include those disclosures required by Part III of Form 10-K.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Common Stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock. These directors, executive officers and principal shareholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. There are

 


Table of Contents

specific dates by which these reports are to be filed and the Company is required to report in this report any failure during 2001 to file reports as required.

     Based solely on its review of the copies of reports furnished to the Company and written representations from certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) reporting and filing requirements relating to ownership of the Common Stock were complied with during 2001, with the exception of the late filing of one Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Form 5 by Laurie Farris, a former executive officer of the Company.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation.

Compensation of Directors

     Directors who are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries receive no additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of the Company or any committee of the Board of Directors. In 2001, Directors who were not employees of the Company or its affiliates were paid the compensation described below. All Directors receive reimbursement for any reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board of Directors or committee meetings.

     Directors who are not employees of the Company or its affiliates receive $1,000 each per in-person or telephonic Board or committee meeting attended (except the chairperson, who receives $1,500 per meeting), $500 per day for any special activity requested by the Board lasting three hours or less, and $1,000 per day for any similar activity lasting more than three hours.

     Although the JDN Realty Corporation 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) provides that Directors who are not employees of the Company or its affiliates automatically receive options to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock on January 1 of each year at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. An insufficient number of shares remained reserved for issuance under the Director Plan on January 1, 2002 for the full amount to be granted; therefore, each non-employee Director received an option to purchase 14,858 shares of Common Stock on January 1, 2002. The Director Plan was amended on February 13, 2001 to provide for a one-time grant of an option to purchase an additional 30,000 shares of Common Stock to each non-employee Director at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. As of April 29, 2002, unexercised options to purchase an aggregate of 438,932 shares of Common Stock had been granted and were outstanding under the Director Plan. Options to purchase 4,500 shares issued under the Director Plan have been exercised.

     The Director Plan also provides that Directors who are not employees of the Company or its affiliates automatically receive on the first day of each calendar quarter shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to $8,750 (each a “Stock Award”) less the amount of Director Compensation (as defined in the Director Plan) each Director has deferred under the JDN Realty Corporation Deferred Director Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) for that fiscal year. The number of shares granted to each non-employee Director is based on a determination of the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date. Since the inception of the Deferral Plan in 1999, each eligible Director has elected to defer receipt of his Stock Award to a future date pursuant to the Deferral Plan. Shares of Common Stock received by Directors pursuant to Stock Awards that are not deferred pursuant to the Deferral Plan are not transferable for a period of six months after the award is made. As of April 29, 2002, an aggregate of 6,567 shares of Common Stock had been granted as Stock Awards to current and former non-employee Directors pursuant to the Director Plan.

*   The employment term is automatically extended for one year upon the occurrence of an anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, unless notice of termination is provided by either party at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term or unless the employment has otherwise terminated.

     In addition to the annual base salary listed above, each Named Executive Officer is generally entitled to participate in the Company’s incentive, savings, retirement and other benefit plans. Also, each such executive is entitled to an annual bonus based on performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or in the case of Messrs. Macnab and Wielansky, in accordance with the criteria set forth in their respective employment agreements.

     In the event of a termination of employment of any of the Named Executive Officers for cause (as defined in the employment agreements), without cause, upon a change-in-control, or upon death or disability (as defined in the employment agreements) the terminated executive is entitled to receive accrued salary and vested deferred compensation (other than plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plan) and other benefits through the date of termination. In addition, Messrs. Macnab, Wielansky and Harris and Ms. Jones are entitled to receive bonus compensation to the extent earned through the date of termination. None of the employment agreements with the Named Executive Officers provides for the payment of any additional severance payment in the event of a termination for cause. In the event of a termination without cause or upon a change-in-control (as defined in the employment agreements), any unvested options and restricted stock held by a Named Executive Officer vest and, in addition to the payments described above, each Named Executive Officer is entitled to receive the following severance compensation:
