1 Apr, 2026Executive summary
The 2026 Annual Meeting will be held virtually on May 13, 2026, with shareholders able to vote and submit questions online.
2025 was a record-breaking year, with net income attributable to common shareholders of $4.624 billion, a 95% increase over 2024, and consolidated revenue up 6.7% year-over-year.
The company raised approximately $9 billion in capital, signed 4,600 leases for over 17 million sq. ft., and delivered 23 new development and redevelopment projects.
Shareholder engagement was extensive, with direct outreach to holders of 62% of shares and feedback informing governance and compensation practices.
Voting matters and shareholder proposals
Shareholders will vote to elect 13 directors (11 by common shareholders, 2 by Class B trustee), approve executive compensation (say-on-pay), and ratify Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditor for 2026.
The board recommends voting FOR all director nominees, the say-on-pay proposal, and auditor ratification.
Shareholder proposals for the 2027 meeting must be submitted by December 2, 2026, for inclusion in proxy materials.
Board of directors and corporate governance
85% of the board is independent; all committees are fully independent and chaired by independent directors.
Board leadership was separated in March 2026, with Larry C. Glasscock appointed Non-Executive Chairman and Eli Simon as CEO and President.
The board emphasizes diversity, experience, and regular refreshment, with 45% of independent directors joining in the last 8 years.
Annual board and committee evaluations, director education, and succession planning are integral to governance.
Majority vote standard applies for uncontested director elections, and there is no shareholder rights plan.
