The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the
amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year.

Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the applicable year.
(8)
The Company defines Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding certain non-cash and infrequently occurring items, specifically, (i) depreciation of real-estate and non-real estate assets; (ii) amortization of acquisition related lease intangibles and leasing costs; (iii) provision for impairment; (iv) gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets and/or changes in control; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt and settlement of related hedges; (vi) straight-line accrued rent; (vii) stock-based compensation expense; (viii) amortization of financing fees and original issue discounts; and (ix) certain other items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined AFFO (per diluted common share and partnership unit) is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the company to link compensation actually paid to the company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.

Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on the objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our stockholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:
AFFO per share
Relative Total Shareholder Return
Net Debt to Annualized Recurring EBITDA
     
Total Shareholder Return Amount $ 105.37 113.42 109.6 98.51
Peer Group Total Shareholder Return Amount 113.54 99.82 132.23 92.43

Non-GAAP Measure Description
(8)
The Company defines Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding certain non-cash and infrequently occurring items, specifically, (i) depreciation of real-estate and non-real estate assets; (ii) amortization of acquisition related lease intangibles and leasing costs; (iii) provision for impairment; (iv) gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets and/or changes in control; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt and settlement of related hedges; (vi) straight-line accrued rent; (vii) stock-based compensation expense; (viii) amortization of financing fees and original issue discounts; and (ix) certain other items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined AFFO (per diluted common share and partnership unit) is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the company to link compensation actually paid to the company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.
