Key Terms

4 terms
LTIP Class B Units financial
"Represents restricted units of limited partnership interest ("LTIP Class B Units") in Pebblebrook Hotel, L.P."
Operating Partnership financial
"in Pebblebrook Hotel, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), of which the Issuer is the general partner."
An operating partnership is a separate legal entity set up to own and run a company’s core assets and day-to-day businesses, while investors hold interests indirectly through the parent company. Think of it like a dedicated garage that actually stores and services the cars while the owner keeps the dealership; it matters to investors because it affects how income, taxes, liability and voting rights are allocated and therefore can influence distributions and risk.
beneficial ownership financial
"The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares held by an immediate family member sharing his household"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
Equity Incentive Plan financial
"The LTIP Class B Units were issued pursuant to the Issuer's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as amended and restated."
An equity incentive plan is a program that gives employees, executives or directors the right to receive company stock or options to buy stock as part of their pay. Think of it as offering slices of future company profit to motivate people to boost long‑term performance; for investors it matters because it can align employee goals with shareholder value but also increases the number of shares outstanding, which can dilute existing ownership.
