#### Share Ownership Guidelines
In order to further strengthen alignment between our NEOs' and trustees' interests and our shareholders' interests, in February of 2025 the Board of Trustees approved a significant increase to our share ownership guidelines for NEOs and trustees increasing the requirements by 50% to 500%. As a result, the Company believes that its share ownership guidelines are market leading relative to its peers. Effective February 24, 2025, each executive and trustee is required to have acquired, within four years of his or her becoming an executive or trustee, common shares or unvested restricted common shares having a market value in excess of the following:

| Trustees                  |     | 4x current annual retainer |     | 6x current annual retainer |
| CEO                       |     | 5x current base salary     |     | 12x current base salary    |

#### Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
Since our first “say-on-pay” vote in 2011, our shareholders have consistently indicated their strong support of our approach to executive compensation. Over the last 10 years, on average, approximately 92.2% of the votes cast were voted in favor of the “say-on-pay” proposals.

In establishing 2024 compensation, the Compensation Committee considered the shareholder vote in 2023 on the compensation paid to NEOs, in which approximately 94. 5% of t he shares voted were in favor. The Compensation Committee viewed this vote as supportive of the Company's overall approach to executive
