2008 Executive Bonus Plan:
On February 25, 2008, the Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2008 Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the annual bonus potential was established based on certain performance targets. The total bonus potential under the Plan for each executive follows:
| | | | | |
| Name | | Title | | Bonus Potential |
| |
| Thomas P. Heneghan | | Chief Executive Officer | | 200% of annual salary |
| Joe McAdams | | President | | 300% of annual salary* |
| Roger Maynard | | Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer | | 150% of annual salary |
| Ellen Kelleher | | Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary | | 150% of annual salary |
| Michael Berman | | Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | | 150% of annual salary |
| Marguerite Nader | | Senior Vice President of New Business Development | | 150% of annual salary |
| | |
| * | | Pursuant to employment agreement. |
The Compensation Committee determined that payment of 50% of the bonus potential is contingent upon certain operational targets, including goals related to property operating revenues and resort revenues, occupancy, and net operating income. Certain of these goals are set for the six months ending June 30, 2008, subject to reset for the final six months of 2008. Payment of the remaining 50% of the bonus potential is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
Bonus payments will be made in cash. The portion of the bonus contingent upon certain operational targets will be paid subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2008 after finalization of the Company’s results of operations and upon final approval by the Compensation Committee. The discretionary portion of the bonus will be paid out on a quarterly basis, upon final approval by the Compensation Committee.
