Base Salary and Bonus
In determining 2025 base salaries, the compensation committee determined in late 2024, that increases in base salaries for Messrs. Callan and Ricketts were appropriate in recognition of their performance in 2024 and as a general cost of living increase.
In determining cash bonuses for 2025, the compensation committee took into account the factors contemplated to be considered pursuant to our “Performance-based Cash Bonus Program” — it considered funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations, the 13 industrial properties acquired in 2025 for approximately $188.8 million, the ten industrial properties anticipated to be acquired in January 2026 for $56.7 million (which transactions were completed), the ten properties sold in 2025 for an aggregate net gain of approximately $18.7 million, and the overall management of our real estate portfolio (e.g., negotiating lease amendments with tenants and ensuring that we maintain a high occupancy rate). In its consideration of the management of the portfolio, the committee, among other things, took into account Messrs. Callan’s and Ricketts efforts and accomplishments with respect to the negotiation and execution of approximately 13 leases (including amendments, renewals and extensions) with respect to over 880,000 square feet and our physical occupancy rate in excess of 98% in December 2025.
Long-term Equity and Equity Incentive Awards
We believe that our long-term equity and equity incentive compensation programs, using RSUs that vest after three years subject to satisfaction of market or performance-based conditions, and restricted stock awards with five-year cliff vesting, provide an appropriate incentive for our executive officers and are a beneficial retention tool. In determining the awards to be granted to the named executive officers, the compensation committee took into account our performance in 2025, the responsibilities and performance of each named executive officer and the committee’s desire to continue to emphasize equity-based awards as a significant component of total compensation for our full-time named executive officers while minimizing stockholder dilution.
We believe the cumulative effect of the restricted stock awards and RSUs is not overly dilutive and has created significant incentives for our officers and employees. We intend to continue to award restricted stock and RSUs as we believe such awards (i) align management’s interests and goals with stockholders’ interests and goals and (ii) are an excellent motivator and employee retention tool.
RSUs
In June 2025 and July 2024, we granted our named executive officers RSUs exchangeable for up to an aggregate of 45,000 shares of common stock. In evaluating the proposed awards, we placed greater emphasis on the quantity of shares granted rather than their grant date accounting value (on which we place limited, if any, value), because the quantity of shares subject to the awards is a significantly greater incentive than the grant date accounting value of such awards, which value may never be realized.
Restricted Stock Awards
In 2026, we awarded 76,005 shares of restricted stock to our named executive officers for their performance in 2025, and in 2025, we awarded 70,675 shares of restricted stock to such officers for their performance in 2024. In evaluating these awards, we placed greater emphasis on the quantity of shares awarded rather than their grant date accounting value because the (i) grant date accounting value may never be realized as most of these shares vest in five years and their value at such future time is unknowable and (ii) anticipated dividends payable with respect to these awards are a more important retention feature than the unknown market value of the shares in five years.
Perquisites
Generally, the perquisites we provide to our full-time named executive officers represent a small percentage of the compensation paid by us to these officers. We believe that such perquisites are appropriate.
