TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Compensation Highlights Our executive compensation program currently involves a combination of annual cash compensation, discretionary incentive compensation, including both cash and equity incentive awards, retirement and other plans, and perquisites and other benefits. We aim to develop and implement compensation programs that are designed to encourage high performance, promote accountability, and assure that executives’ interests continue to be aligned with the interests of our stockholders. The majority of the compensation awarded to executives is variable in nature and dependent on Company and individual performance. In making executive compensation determinations, we also consider the results of the non-binding, advisory stockholder votes on our executive compensation program. Our stockholders have approved our executive compensation program each year since the advisory vote was first sought, including by at least 93% of votes cast in each of the last three years. Please see the section of this Proxy Statement below titled “Executive Compensation” for a detailed discussion of our executive compensation program and compensation philosophy, including detailed information regarding 2024 compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”). Business Philosophy Our objective is to generate sustained earnings growth, which in turn drives sustained growth of cash dividends to common stockholders, and to do so over the long term without negatively altering our risk profile. To this end, our investment strategy combines comprehensive transaction underwriting and lease structuring with certain macro perspectives that guide capital allocation decisions across property types, tenants and transactions. We focus our efforts on freestanding retail properties that are tied to convenience and automobility, exhibit strong underlying real estate characteristics – including access, visibility and synergies with nearby retailers – are located in high-density metropolitan areas, and are leased to national and regional operators.
