On February 2, 2015, awards were issued to certain of the Company’s officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the other named executive officers (as defined in Item 4.02 (a)(3) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) (the “Named Executive Officers”) pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Stock Benefit Plan (the “Plan”) as approved by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Home Properties, Inc.

The form of the Master Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions on which restricted stock units are earned by the award recipient. The restricted stock units are payable upon vesting in shares of the Company’s common stock. Service-vested awards vest ratably over three years on each anniversary of the grant date subject to continued employment. Performance-vested awards relate to the performance period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 and vest fifty percent on the date following December 31, 2017 that the Committee approves the final number of vested restricted stock units based on performance during the performance period (the “Determination Date”) and fifty percent on the one year anniversary of the Determination Date. The exact number of shares earned is determined based on performance over the three-year period as measured by reference to total shareholder return (“TSR”) on the Company’s common stock based on stock appreciation and reinvested dividends as described in the Master Agreement.
The performance requirements and goals linked to the vesting of the performance awards are as follows:
