JBG SMITH (NYSE: JBGS) CEO receives new AO LTIP and LTIP awards
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
JBG SMITH Properties reported a new set of equity awards for its Chief Executive Officer, who is also a director, on January 2, 2026. The CEO received 259,259 AO LTIP Units with a participation threshold of $18.37 per unit, which function like net-exercise options and can ultimately convert into operating partnership units and then into one common share or cash per unit at the company’s option, once vested and tax conditions are met.
In addition, the CEO received several classes of LTIP Units, including grants of 205,731, 218,750, 175,000 and 91,569 units under the 2017 Omnibus Share Plan. Some awards vest annually over four years, while others depend on performance hurdles such as the share price reaching $20.00 to $28.00 for a consecutive 60-trading-day period. One LTIP grant represents the CEO’s election to take his entire 2025 cash bonus in fully vested LTIPs, which may be forfeited if 2025 performance targets are not achieved.

Footnotes (1)
- The reporting person received a grant of limited partnership units in JBG SMITH Properties LP (the "OP"), JBG SMITH Properties' (the "Issuer's") operating partnership, designated as Class AO LTIP Units ("AO LTIPs"), pursuant to the JBG SMITH Properties 2017 Omnibus Share Plan, as amended (the "Omnibus Plan"). AO LTIPs are similar to "net exercise" stock option awards and are convertible, once vested, into a number of vested limited partnership units in the OP, designated as LTIP Units ("LTIPs"), determined by multiplying the number of vested AO LTIPs by the quotient of (i) the excess of the value of a common share of the Issuer, par value $0.01 (a "Common Share") as of the date of the conversion over $18.37 (the "Participation Threshold per AO LTIP"), divided by (ii) the value of a Common Share as of the date of conversion. Vested LTIPs into which AO LTIPs have been converted are further convertible, [footnote continued] [Continued from footnote] conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIPs for U.S. federal income tax purposes, into an equal number of operating partnership units in the OP ("OP Units"). The resulting OP Units are redeemable by the holder for one Common Share per OP Unit or the cash value of a Common Share, at the Issuer's option, after the two year anniversary of the issuance of the AO LTIP. A portion of these AO LTIPs may be earned or forfeited based on the Issuer's achievement of the performance conditions set forth in the award agreement over a three-year performance period commencing January 2, 2026. To the extent earned, the AO LTIPs will vest 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Vesting of the AO LTIPs is generally contingent on the reporting person's continued employment with the Issuer. The total number of AO LTIPs has been revised to reflect that certain AO LTIPs, originally granted in January 2022, were forfeited based on performance conditions set forth in the award agreement. The reporting person received a grant of LTIPs pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. These LTIPs are a class of units in the OP that, if vested and, subject to limited exceptions, following completion of a three-year post-vesting period, are convertible at the option of the holder, conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIPs for federal income tax purposes, into an equal number of OP Units. The resulting OP Units are redeemable by the holder for one Common Share per OP Unit or the cash value of a Common Share, at the Issuer's option, after the two-year anniversary of the LTIPs issuance. The LTIPs vest 25% on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of January 2, 2026, subject to the reporting person's continued employment through each vesting date. Upon these grants of LTIPs, the reporting person received corresponding Class B shares of the Issuer, which have no economic rights and are not listed on a stock exchange. For each of the LTIPs beneficially owned by the reporting person, the reporting person holds a corresponding Class B share. The reporting person received a grant of LTIPs pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. These LTIPs are a class of units in the OP that, if vested, are convertible at the option of the holder, conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIPs for federal income tax purposes, into an equal number of OP Units. The resulting OP Units are redeemable by the holder for one Common Share per OP Unit or the cash value of a Common Share, at the Issuer's option, after the two-year anniversary of the LTIPs issuance. These LTIP Units, or a portion thereof, may become earned based on the Issuer's achievement of certain performance conditions over a performance period commencing on the first anniversary of the grant and ending on the sixth anniversary of the grant. The LTIP units may be incrementally earned upon achievement of the following hurdle levels: 20% of the total number of LTIP Units can be earned on each date prior to the sixth anniversary of grant that the Issuer's shares achieve a closing price of $20.00, $22.00, $24.00, $26.00 and $28.00, respectively, for a consecutive 60-trading day period. To the extent earned, the LTIP Units will vest up to 50% on the third anniversary of grant and up to an additional 50% on the fourth anniversary of grant.[footnote continued] [Continued from footnote] If the performance hurdle levels are not fully attained by the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, the LTIP Units will be eligible to vest following the fourth anniversary of the date of grant and up to the sixth anniversary of the date of grant as hurdle levels are attained. Vesting of the LTIP Units is generally contingent on the reporting person's continued employment with the Issuer. The reporting person received a grant of LTIPs pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. These LTIPs are a class of units in the OP that are convertible at the option of the holder, conditioned upon minimum allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIPs for federal income tax purposes, into an equal number of OP Units. The resulting OP Units are redeemable by the holder for one Common Share per OP Unit or the cash value of a Common Share, at the Issuer's option, after the two-year anniversary of the LTIPs issuance. These LTIPs were issued pursuant to the reporting person's election with the Issuer to receive the entirety of his cash bonus payable for 2025 in the form of fully vested LTIPs. These LTIPs were granted based on assumed performance under the Company's 2025 Short Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the award agreement, any LTIPs not actually earned based on the actual results for the 2025 calendar year will be forfeited.
