Comparator Companies definition

Comparator Companies means the companies listed on Appendix I, attached hereto, which are the companies that currently comprise the Office Property Sector of the FTSE NAREIT All REIT Index; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, no such company will be deemed a Comparator Company if such company ceases to have a class of common equity securities listed on a national securities exchange. In the event that a company listed on Appendix I ceases trading earlier than the last six (6) months of the Performance Period, the total return of an index, as determined by the Administrator, calculated in the same manner as Absolute Total Shareholder Return is calculated, for the entire period shall be substituted for such Comparator Company’s Absolute Total Shareholder Return. In the event that a company listed on Appendix I ceases trading during the last six (6) months of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall calculate and utilize such Comparator Company’s Absolute Total Shareholder Return ranking relative to Comparator Companies on the trading day immediately prior to the announcement of the transaction or event leading to the company no longer having a class of common equity securities listed on a national securities exchange, for comparison to the other full-period Comparator Company Absolute Total Shareholder Return results.

Comparator Companies. “Comparator Companies” means, collectively, the companies set forth in Appendix 1; provided, however, that the Comparator Companies will be subject to change as described below. A company will be removed from the group of Comparator Companies if, during the TSR Performance Period, it ceases to have a class of equity securities that is both registered under the Exchange Act and actively traded on a U.S. public securities market (unless such cessation is due to any of the circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the following sentence), including as a result of such Comparator Company being acquired by another person or group of persons. The TSR for a Comparator Company will be negative one hundred percent (-100%) for the TSR Performance Period, if such company: (i) files for bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (ii) is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) is the subject of a stockholder approved plan of liquidation or dissolution; or (iv) ceases to conduct substantial business operations. For the avoidance of doubt, the acquisition of a company within the group of Comparator Companies during the TSR Performance Period by another person or group of related persons by itself does not result in the company being treated as ceasing to conduct substantial business operations (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such acquired Comparator Company shall instead be removed from the group of Comparator Companies).

Comparator Companies means those companies the prices of whose ordinary shares comprise the FT-SE 100 Share Index (including the Company) on the first day of the relevant Measurement Period on which the London Stock Exchange is open for trading.
