Item 5.02. — Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

 

On February 12, 2014, the Board of Directors of LTC Properties, Inc. adopted a new Cash Bonus Incentive Plan for senior management.  Ms. Simpson (Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President), Ms. Shelley-Kessler (Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary), and Mr. Malin (Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer) are the participants in the Cash Bonus Incentive Plan.  Their individual cash bonus amounts will be determined by reference to threshold, target, and high levels of performance in each of three metrics:  (i) diluted normalized FFO per share; (ii) new investments; and (iii) subjective factors including but not limited to individual performance, capital structure management, credit ratings, dividend growth and total shareholder return relative to peers. The diluted normalized FFO metric may be adjusted to reflect the pro forma impact of changes to LTC’s capital structure, strategic changes, and other items that were not contemplated in the annual budget approved by the Board of Directors.

 

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (or NAREIT), means net income available to common stockholders excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Normalized FFO and diluted normalized FFO, including the means of calculating each, is disclosed in LTC’s quarterly earnings releases.

 

Other executive officers of LTC continue to be eligible to receive cash bonuses within the discretion of the Board of Directors.
