FAQ

What did Public Storage (PSA) officer Natalia Johnson report on this Form 4?

Natalia Johnson reported equity compensation grants, not open-market trades. She received 25,551 AO LTIP Units and 6,584 LTIP Units tied to Public Storage OP, both linked to future conversion into OP Units and ultimately Public Storage common shares or cash equivalents.

How large are the AO LTIP Unit and LTIP Unit awards for PSA’s Natalia Johnson?

She received 25,551 AO LTIP Units and 6,584 LTIP Units. Each AO LTIP Unit relates to an original option award with a $288.56 per share exercise price, while each LTIP Unit is designed as a profits interest that can convert into OP Units and then common shares or cash.

Are the new Public Storage awards to Natalia Johnson performance-based?

Yes. Both awards reflect performance-based AO LTIP Units and LTIP Units covering a three-year 2023–2026 performance period. The compensation committee certified performance at 100% of target on March 15, 2026, which determined the number of units ultimately reported on this Form 4.

How can the AO LTIP Units and LTIP Units convert into Public Storage common shares?

Once vested and after certain tax-related capital account conditions are met, AO LTIP Units convert into LTIP Units, then into OP Units. OP Units may then be exchanged for Public Storage common shares or equivalent cash, as determined by Public Storage, creating indirect equity exposure.

What ongoing LTIP Unit holdings does Natalia Johnson report after these transactions?

Following these awards, she reports 23,209 LTIP Units. Footnotes state this includes 13,811 vested LTIP Units and 9,398 LTIP Units subject to time-based vesting, in addition to 8,110 Public Storage common shares held directly after the reported date.
