2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Effective January 1, 2013, Education Realty Trust, Inc. (the "
Company
") implemented the Education Realty Trust, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "
2013 LTIP
"). The terms of the 2013 LTIP are substantially similar to the terms of the Company's previous long-term incentive programs, all of which are described in detail in the Company's annual proxy statement under "
Compensation Discussion and Analysis"
section.  The terms of the 2013 LTIP differ from the previous long-term incentive programs as follows:
•
The 2013 LTIP provides that 35% of a participant's award consists of a grant of restricted shares of the Company's common stock, or restricted stock, which will vest in equal annual installments over three years.
•
The remaining 65% of a participant's award consists of a grant of restricted stock units, or RSUs, with each RSU representing the right to receive in the future one share of the Company's common stock.  As with the 2012 LTIP, the vesting of RSUs is based upon the Company's achievement of total stockholder returns, or TSR, in relation to (i) for one-half of the award, the average TSR of a peer group, and (ii) for one-half of the award, the average TSR of the NAREIT Index, over a three-year period.
•
Grants of RSUs under the 2013 LTIP will be made based on specified numbers of RSUs, instead of specified dollar amounts.
The table below shows the number of shares of restricted stock awarded to certain participants pursuant to the 2013 LTIP.
