Proxy Materials & Annual Meeting

Information About the Proxy Materials

The board of directors (the “Board”) of InvenTrust Properties Corp., a Maryland corporation (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), is furnishing the enclosed Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement and proxy card to you, and to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2021, because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and at any postponements or adjournments thereof.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules permitting the electronic delivery of proxy materials. In accordance with those rules, we are primarily furnishing proxy materials to our shareholders via the Internet, rather than mailing paper copies of the materials. Internet distribution of the proxy materials is designed to expedite receipt by shareholders and lower costs of the Annual Meeting. Beginning on or about March 5, 2021, we will mail a Notice of Annual Meeting and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our shareholders as of the close of business on March 1, 2021, which contained instructions on how to access and review proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and how to submit proxies via the Internet or by telephone. If you received a Notice but would like to submit your proxy by mail or request paper copies of our proxy materials going forward, you may still do so by following the instructions described in the Notice.

Choosing to receive your proxy materials over the Internet will help reduce the costs associated with the printing and mailing of the proxy materials to you. Unless you affirmatively elect to receive paper copies of our proxy materials in the future by following the instructions included in the Notice, you will continue to receive a Notice directing you to a website for electronic access to our proxy materials.

On or about March 8, 2021, we also began mailing a full set of proxy materials to certain shareholders who previously requested a paper copy of the proxy materials.

If you own shares of common stock in more than one account, such as individually or jointly with your spouse, you may receive more than one Notice or set of these materials. Please make sure to authorize a proxy to vote all of your shares.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be Held on May 6, 2021. This proxy statement, the proxy card and our annual report on Form 10-K to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2020 are available at www.proxyvote.com.

Information About the Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting will be held on May 6, 2021, beginning at 9:00 a.m., Central Time. The Annual Meeting will be a “virtual meeting” of shareholders. We welcome and encourage you to attend. Please note that only shareholders as of March 1, 2021 (the record date) will be permitted to attend and ask questions during the meeting. In order to attend the virtual meeting, you will need your 16-digit control number that will be supplied to all shareholders via the proxy card or voting instructions form. At the meeting you will be allowed to vote your shares within the online portal, as well as submit questions. The online portal will open 60 minutes before the beginning of the annual meeting.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Proxy Materials & Annual Meeting

Information About Voting

Your attendance at the virtual meeting or by proxy is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon. We are a widely held company, and no large affiliated groups of shareholders own substantial blocks of our shares. As a result, a large number of our shareholders must be present or by proxy at the Annual Meeting in order for us to obtain a quorum. THEREFORE, YOUR PRESENCE AT THE VIRTUAL MEETING OR BY PROXY IS VERY IMPORTANT, EVEN IF YOU OWN A SMALL NUMBER OF SHARES. Your immediate response will save us significant additional expense associated with soliciting shareholder votes and will help avoid potential delays and prevent repeated calls to you from our proxy solicitors.

You will have one vote for each share of common stock that you owned at the close of business on March 1, 2021, which is the record date for the Annual Meeting. As of March 1, 2021, there were 719,462,786 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. There is no cumulative voting.

Record Holders

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Inc., you are, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record or record holder. Record holders may vote while in attendance at the virtual Annual Meeting or by granting us a proxy to vote on each of the proposals. You may authorize a proxy to vote your shares in any of the following ways:

	by mail: if you received a hard copy proxy card, you may complete and return it as instructed on the proxy card. If you received a Notice, you may request a proxy card at any time by following the instructions on the Notice. You may then complete the proxy card and return it by mail as instructed on the proxy card;
	via telephone: dial 888-777-1546 any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 5, 2021, and with your Notice in hand follow the instructions; or
	via the Internet: go to www.proxyvote.com any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 5, 2021, and with your Notice in hand follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form.

If you are a record holder and grant a proxy, you may nevertheless revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by: (1) sending written notice to us, 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Corporate Secretary; (2) providing us with a properly executed, later-dated proxy; or (3) attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting your shares while in attendance. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, without further action, will not revoke your proxy.

Beneficial Owners

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the Notice (or in some cases, a full set of proxy materials) is being forwarded to you automatically, along with instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker, bank or other nominee has provided voting instructions for you to use in directing how to vote your shares. If you do not provide specific voting instructions by the deadline set forth in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. See “Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes” below for more information about broker non-votes. Beneficial owners who desire to revoke a previously submitted proxy should contact their bank or broker for instructions.

Proxy Materials & Annual Meeting

Information Regarding Tabulation of the Vote

Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) or its designee will act as the inspector of election and will count the votes.

Information About Items to be Voted on and Vote Necessary for Action to be Taken

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will act upon the following matters, and such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof:

Proposal No. 1: Election of eight directors, to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. A plurality of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting shall be sufficient to elect a director. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the holder is entitled to vote. The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees for director.

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021. A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting shall be sufficient to approve Proposal No. 2. The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Proposal No. 3: Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules (“say-on-pay”). A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting shall be sufficient to approve Proposal No. 3. The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval on a non-binding, advisory basis, of a resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed herein pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules.

Proposal No. 4: Approval on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the frequency of future say-on-pay votes. Shareholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: three years, two years, one year or abstain. A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting shall be sufficient to approve any of the three alternative frequencies pursuant to Proposal No. 4. In the event that none of the frequency alternatives receive a majority of the votes cast, we will consider the option that receives the most votes to be the option selected by the shareholders. The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote that future say-on-pay votes be held every THREE YEARS.

If you return your proxy but do not indicate how your shares should be voted, they will be voted “FOR” each director in Proposal No. 1 and “FOR” Proposal No. 2, “FOR” Proposal No. 3 and for “EVERY THREE YEARS” with respect to proposal No. 4, in accordance with the board’s recommendation.

Quorum Requirement

The presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum. There must be a quorum present in order for us to conduct business at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

An “abstain” vote with respect to any proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting is considered present and entitled to vote with respect to that proposal, but is not considered a vote cast with respect to that proposal. Therefore, an abstention will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on any proposals, but will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Proxy Materials & Annual Meeting

A “broker non-vote” occurs if your shares are not registered in your name and you do not provide the record holder of your shares (usually a bank, broker, or other nominee) with voting instructions on a matter and the record holder is not permitted to vote on the matter without instructions from you under applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The election of directors (Proposal No. 1), say-on-pay (Proposal No. 3) and frequency of say-on-pay (Proposal No. 4), are considered “non-discretionary” items, so if you do not provide instructions to the holder of record, your shares will be treated as broker non-votes. The ratification of appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2) is a “discretionary” or routine item under NYSE rules. As a result, the shares for which instructions are not provided to the holder of record will not be treated as broker non-votes and brokers who do not receive instructions as to how to vote on this matter generally may vote on this matter in their discretion. A broker non-vote is considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but is not considered a “vote cast” with respect to such matter. Because the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) requires a plurality of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the election of directors. Because the say-on-pay vote (Proposal No. 3) requires a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on those proposals. Because the frequency of say-on-pay vote (Proposal No. 4) requires a majority of the cast as the Annual Meeting, broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of the vote on those proposals.

Costs of Soliciting Proxies

We will bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with soliciting proxies. Our directors and executive officers may solicit proxies by mail, personal contact, letter, telephone, facsimile or other electronic means. These individuals will not receive any additional compensation for these activities, but may be reimbursed by us for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, Broadridge will solicit proxies on our behalf. We will pay Broadridge fees that we expect will not exceed $150,000 and any out-of-pocket expenses for soliciting proxies.

Other Matters

At this time, no other matters are being presented for your consideration at the Annual Meeting. Generally, no business aside from the items discussed in this proxy statement may be transacted at the meeting. If, however, any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting as determined by the chairperson of the meeting, your proxies are authorized to act on the proposal at their discretion.

Householding

Only one Notice or copy of this proxy statement and the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K have been sent to certain shareholders who share a single address, unless any shareholder residing at that address has given contrary instructions. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive and reduces mailing and printing costs. Additional copies of this proxy statement or our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 will be furnished to you, without charge, by writing us at: c/o InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Investor Relations, or by telephoning us, toll free, at (855) 377-0510. If you share an address with another shareholder and the two of you would like to receive only a single set of our annual disclosure documents, please contact us by writing us at: c/o InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Investor Relations, or by telephoning us, toll free, at (855) 377-0510, or, if a bank, broker or other nominee holds your shares, please contact your bank, broker or other nominee directly.

Corporate Governance Principles

Corporate Governance Profile

Our corporate governance is structured in a manner that the Board believes closely aligns the Company’s interests with those of our shareholders. Notable features of our corporate governance structure include the following:

• of the eight persons who serve on our Board, seven have been determined by us to be independent for purposes of the NYSE’s corporate governance listing standards and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

• all of the members of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are independent;

• we have determined that at least three of our directors qualify as an ‘‘audit committee financial expert’’ as defined by the SEC;

• our shareholders, by a majority vote of shares entitled to be cast on the matter, may adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws or make new bylaws;

• our directors have a diversity of skills, experience, gender and backgrounds;

• our shareholders, by a majority vote of shares entitled to be cast on the matter, may call a special meeting of shareholders; and

• we do not have a shareholder rights plan.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that the number of directors constituting the Board may be increased or decreased by a majority vote of the entire Board, provided the number of directors may not be greater than 11 and may not be decreased to fewer than the minimum number required under the MGCL, which currently is one director. The tenure of office of a director will not be affected by any decrease in the number of directors.

Our bylaws currently provide that, except as may be provided by our Board in setting the terms of any class or series of shares, any vacancy may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any directors elected to fill a vacancy will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies.

There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors. All directors except Thomas McGuinness, our Chief Executive Officer, have been determined by the Board to be independent under applicable NYSE and SEC rules.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board has adopted corporate governance guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”) to provide a transparent framework for the effective governance of InvenTrust. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at www.inventrustproperties.com through the “Investor Relations – Corporate Governance – Corporate Governance Guidelines” tab. In addition, printed copies of the Corporate Governance Guidelines are available to any shareholder, without charge, by writing us at InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, Attention: Investor Relations.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Corporate Governance Principles

Leadership Succession Transition

On February 18, 2021, the Company announced that Mr. McGuinness is resigning as President of the Company, effective February 22, 2021. Mr. McGuinness will retain the titles and positions of member of the board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and will retire as Chief Executive Officer on August 6, 2021. If re-elected, Mr. McGuinness intends to serve on the Board until his term ends at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Consistent with the long-term leadership succession planning conducted by our Board and following a process overseen by our Nominating and Corporate Governance committee, the board appointed Daniel J. Busch as President of the Company effective February 22, 2021, and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective as of August 6, 2021 upon Mr. McGuinness’ retirement. Additionally, the board appointed Christy L. David, to the role of Chief Operating Officer, effective February 22, 2021. The Company also announced Mr. Busch will step down as Chief Financial Officer, effective August 6, 2021 and that the board appointed Michael Phillips as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective as of August  6, 2021.

Corporate Culture and Strategy

We believe that our employees are our greatest asset. We are committed to creating a corporate culture characterized by high levels of employee engagement, growth and development, health and wellness. We seek to attract and retain diverse and talented professionals who provide a wide range of opinions and experiences to drive our business forward. As of January 20, 2021, we have 124 full-time employees. Women represent approximately 60% of our employees. Approximately 39% of women employed by the Company hold management level/leadership roles.

Our Human Capital strategy is focused on Talent Management. The basis for hiring, development, training, compensation and advancement are qualifications, performance, skills and experience. Our employees are fairly compensated, without regard to gender, race and ethnicity. All of our employees are offered a comprehensive benefits package, including, but not limited to, paid time off and parental leave, medical dental and vision insurance, disability, life insurance, 401(k) matching, tuition reimbursement, summer hours and work from home flexibility. We have established an extensive employee review process, while offering a number of incentives and acknowledgments throughout the year to increase employee engagement and development. We monitor our performance through employee engagement surveys and utilize the results to continually improve our organization.

We endeavor to maintain workplaces that are free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of color, race, sex, national origin, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identification or expression or any other status protected by applicable law. To that end, we conduct annual training to raise awareness of and prevent harassment and discrimination.

We have a shared passion and dedication to giving back to our community and for this reason we have an InvenTrust Charitable Team, a program led by employees who actively contribute time, company resources and often personal resources to support charitable causes.

Corporate Governance Principles

Shareholder Engagement

We have a robust investor engagement program led by our Investor Relations team and the Corporate Secretary’s office. The Company engages proactively with our shareholders, monitors developments in corporate governance and social responsibility, and in consultation with our Board, thoughtfully adopts practices in a manner that best supports our strategy and culture. We view shareholder engagement as continuous dialogue, rather than event-driven. Our engagement approach is grounded in a set of core principles:

• Transparency: engage openly with shareholders providing information and communications in a timely and understandable manner.

• Consistency: maintain regular and consistent communication to ensure continuity and meaningful engagement.

• Accountability: inform shareholders of the Company’s performance and strategic execution as compared to the Company’s targets.

Therefore, we actively engage with our shareholders in a number of forums on a year-round basis as depicted by the following graphic:

Shareholder feedback is received through all of these interactions. As appropriate, relevant shareholder concerns are addressed promptly by the Investor Relations department. Shareholders may also make their views known through individual voting for directors, say-on-pay advisory vote and other matters submitted to shareholders for approval. In addition, shareholders may put forward shareholder proposals in accordance with applicable rules.

Corporate Governance Principles

Director Independence

Our business is managed under the direction and oversight of our Board. The members of our Board are Paula J. Saban, our chairperson, Stuart Aitken, Amanda Black, Thomas F. Glavin, Thomas P. McGuinness, Scott A. Nelson, Michael A. Stein and Julian E. Whitehurst. As required by our charter, a majority of our directors must be “independent.” As defined by our charter, an “independent director” means any director who qualifies as an “independent director” under the provisions of the NYSE Listed Company Manual in effect from time to time. The NYSE standards provide that to qualify as an independent director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the Board must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company).

Consistent with these considerations, after reviewing all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, our management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and considering each director’s direct and indirect association with the Company and its management, the Board has determined that Mses. Black and Saban and Messrs. Aitken, Glavin, Nelson, Stein and Whitehurst qualify as independent directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Mr. McGuinness, in his role as our chief executive officer, is responsible for managing the strategic direction and for providing the day-to-day leadership of the Company. Ms. Saban, in her role as our chairperson of the Board, organizes the work of the Board and ensures that the Board has access to sufficient information to carry out its functions, including monitoring the Company’s performance. Ms. Saban presides over meetings of the Board and shareholders, establishes the agenda for each meeting and oversees the distribution of information to directors. We have separated the roles of the president and chairperson of the Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. Our Board believes the current structure is appropriate and effective.

To ensure free and open discussion and communication among the non-management directors of our Board of directors, the non-management directors will meet periodically in private session with no members of management present. Ms. Saban, as our chairperson, presides at these sessions.

Our Board oversees the business and affairs of our Company, including its long-term health, overall success and financial strength. The full Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. Our Board oversees risk through the: (1) review and discussion of regular periodic reports to the Board and its committees, including management reports, leasing activity and property operating data, as well as actual and projected financial results, the corporate model and outputs, and various other matters relating to our business; (2) required approval by the Board of certain transactions, including, among others, acquisitions and dispositions of properties exceeding certain dollar amounts and financings exceeding certain dollar amounts, as set forth in investment policies adopted by the Board; (3) oversight of risk associated with the various elements of compensation by the compensation committee; (4) oversight of risk policies and management as well as major financial risk exposures and steps taken to monitor and control such risks by the audit committee; and (5) review of regular periodic reports from our independent public accounting firm, third-party internal audit firm and other outside consultants regarding various areas of potential risk, including, among others, those relating to the qualification of the Company as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for tax purposes and our internal control over financial reporting.

Policy on Hedging

Our Board has not adopted, and we do not have, any specific practices or policies regarding the ability of our officers, directors, and employees, or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) or otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Corporate Governance Principles

Communicating with Directors

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, defined and discussed below under the heading “Corporate Governance Guidelines,” anyone who would like to communicate with, or otherwise make his or her concerns known directly to the chairperson of our Board, the chairperson of any of the audit, nominating and corporate governance, compensation and executive committees, or to the non-management or independent directors as a group, may do so by (1) addressing such communications or concerns to the Secretary of the Company, InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515, who will forward such communications to the appropriate party, (2) sending any emails to ShareholderCommunications@inventrustproperties.com, or sending emails to InvestorRelations@InvenTrustProperties.com. Such communications may be done confidentially or anonymously.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Members: Stuart Aitken (Chairperson)	The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

Corporate Governance Principles

The nominating and corporate governance committee screens all potential candidates in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation. The review is expected to be based on any written materials provided with respect to potential candidates, and the nominating and corporate governance committee will review the materials to determine the qualifications, experience and background of the candidates. Final candidates are expected to be interviewed by one or more members of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders for our 2022 annual meeting of shareholders. Any such recommendations must be submitted in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 9 of Article II of our bylaws. Generally, this requires that the shareholder send certain information about the candidate to our secretary not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 120th day and not earlier than the 150th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting. For our annual meeting to be held in 2022, a shareholder must provide written notice of a candidate recommendation not earlier than October 6, 2021 and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 5, 2021, to our corporate secretary, c/o InvenTrust Properties Corp., 3025 Highland Parkway, Suite 350, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515. The notice must identify the author as a shareholder, provide a brief summary of the candidate’s qualifications and include the information required by our bylaws for advance notice of shareholder nominees for director. If the shares of our common stock held by the shareholder making the recommendation are held in “street name,” notices should also attach proof of ownership of InvenTrust common stock as of the date of the notice. At a minimum, candidates recommended for nomination to the Board must meet the director independence standards of the NYSE.

We believe these conditions create favorable demand characteristics for grocery-anchored and necessity-based retail centers which will enable us to capitalize on potential future rent increases while enjoying sustained occupancy at our centers. Using these criteria, we have identified 15 to 20 markets, including the metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Houston, the greater Los Angeles and San Diego areas, Miami, Orlando, Raleigh-Durham, San Antonio and Tampa.

• Opportunistically dispose of retail properties. We continue to opportunistically dispose of properties where we believe they no longer meet our investment criteria. These dispositions will allow the Company to re-deploy the proceeds in more attractive opportunities.

• Maintain conservative leverage levels and a flexible capital structure. We continually evaluate the economic and credit environment and its impact to our business. We believe we have the liquidity necessary to continue executing on our strategy. We expect to have the ability to repay, refinance or extend any of our debt, and we believe we have adequate sources of funds to meet short-term cash needs related to these refinancings or extensions.

• Enhance environment, social and governance practices and standards. We continue to focus on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices and standards across our platform. We believe we can enhance our communities, conserve resources and foster a best-in-class working environment while growing long term shareholder value. We remain committed to transparency in our investment strategy with a focus on operating efficiency, responding to evolving trends, and addressing the needs of our tenants and communities by continuing to fully integrate environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and strong governance practices throughout our organization.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic the Company made several key strategic decisions including, but not limited to:

• Workplace and Culture

Immediately shifted to remote work environment and provided employees with frequent updates;

Managed morale by offering additional flexibility, home office technology stipend, and virtual employee events;

• Operations

Formed Operations Committee to expedite lease approvals, gain visibility into asset level impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and mitigate further vacancy risk;

Expanded leasing team to add resources for critical near term lease negotiations and new vacancy;

• Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

Drew $150M on the Company’s line of credit in March to add immediate liquidity to balance sheet (repaid $100M in October);

Communicated frequently and proactively with our capital partners to reiterate our balance sheet strength, portfolio strategy and approach to assessing pandemic risk.

Funds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a widely accepted non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (non-“GAAP”) financial measure of operating performance known as Funds From Operations (“FFO”). Our FFO, based on the NAREIT definition, is net income (or loss) in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) resulting from dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real property. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect our proportionate share of the joint venture’s funds from operations on the same basis. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $10.2 million and FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities of $98.6 million.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) is an additional supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance. In particular, AFFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for certain remaining amortization assumptions within FFO and other unique revenue and expense items which are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. In that regard, we use AFFO as an input to our compensation plan to determine cash bonuses and measure the achievement of certain performance-based equity awards. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our AFFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities was $97.2 million.

Management believes FFO and AFFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because the historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. For more information regarding FFO and AFFO and a reconciliation of these measures to net income, please see “Part II. Item 7. Selected Financial Data” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Executive Compensation

On November 11, 2019, our Board approved an increase to our annual distribution rate effective for the quarterly distribution paid in April 2020, from $0.0737 per share to $0.0759 per share, on an annualized basis. The adjustment to the distribution rate equates to a 2020 calendar year total distribution of $0.07535 per share (an annual rate of $0.0737 per share paid in January 2020, an annual rate of $0.0759 per share paid in each of April, July, October 2020 and January 2021). On December 17, 2020, our Board announced an increase to our annual distribution rate effective for the quarterly distribution payable in April 2021, from $0.0759 per share to $0.0782, on an annualized basis.

Compensation Elements

Our executive compensation program for 2020 consisted of the following elements: base salary, annual cash bonus, equity-based long-term incentive awards, retirement benefits and health/welfare benefits. Each of these elements taken separately, as well as each of these elements taken as a whole, was necessary to support our overall compensation objectives. The following table sets forth the key elements of our NEOs compensation for 2020, along with the primary objective associated with each element of compensation.

The compensation committee believes that executive compensation should reflect the value created for our shareholders, while supporting our operational goals and long-term business plans and strategies. In addition, the compensation committee believes that such compensation should assist us in attracting and retaining key executives critical to our long-term success.

Good Governance and Best Practices

With respect to our executive compensation program, we are committed to staying apprised of current issues, emerging trends, and best practices. To this end, when considering executive officer compensation packages for 2020, our compensation committee worked with our independent compensation consultant, FPL Associates (“FPL”), to conduct a comprehensive market analysis of our executive compensation program and pay, and to generally align target direct compensation for our NEOs conservatively relative to the median of the applicable peer group.

Our executive compensation programs and practices for 2020 included the following features, which we believe are mindful of the concerns of our shareholders.

• Our NEOs were eligible to earn annual bonuses based upon achievement of specific annual financial, operational and individual objectives that were designed to challenge the NEOs to strong performance.

• Our NEOs participated in equity-based incentive plans which provided incentives that are linked directly to increases in the value of the Company.

• In addition to time-vesting awards, our 2020 equity incentive program for our NEOs includes performance vesting awards, the vesting of which is based on the achievement of key financial metrics.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Executive Compensation

• Our NEOs participated in broad-based Company-sponsored benefits programs on the same basis as other full-time employees.

• Our NEOs participated in the same defined contribution retirement plan as other employees.

• FPL, our independent compensation consultant, was retained directly by and reported to the compensation committee

• Our compensation committee, in conjunction with FPL, developed comparative peer groups to analyze the competitiveness of the total pay opportunity provided to our NEOs.

• We did not provide our executive officers or other employees with tax gross-up payments, supplemental retirement benefits or perquisites.

Shareholder Interest Alignment

Equity awards granted in 2020 to our NEOs included grants of both time-vesting and performance vesting RSU awards, which entitle each executive to receive shares of our common stock upon vesting of the RSU award. Our annual bonus program, combined with grants of equity-based awards, creates a balanced focus on the achievement of short-term and long-term financial and operational goals. Our compensation committee believes that this “at risk” compensation in the form of annual bonuses and long-term equity-based incentives plays a significant role in aligning management’s interests with those of our shareholders. The below chart reflects our NEO compensation package mix:

Determination of Compensation

Roles of Our Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing our executive compensation program, as well as determining and approving the ongoing compensation arrangements for our NEOs. Our compensation committee evaluates the individual performance and contributions of our Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer evaluates the individual performance and contributions of each other NEO, and reports to our compensation committee his recommendations regarding the other NEOs’ compensation.

Engagement of Compensation Consultant

For 2020, our compensation committee retained the services of FPL to serve as the compensation committee’s independent compensation consultant. FPL was engaged to assist the compensation committee with a variety of tasks, which included among other things, analyzing executive and Board compensation relative to peer companies. FPL did not provide any other services to the Company in 2020. Our compensation committee has determined that FPL is independent and does not have any conflicts of interest with the Company.

Executive Compensation

Peer Group Review

With respect to the compensation packages offered to our NEOs, the compensation committee reviewed total cash and long- term compensation levels for executive officers of the Company against those of our peer group companies in an effort to set executive compensation at levels that will attract and motivate qualified executives while rewarding performance based on corporate objectives. The compensation committee set compensation levels for each executive officer on the basis of several factors, including the executive officer’s level of experience, competitive market data applicable to the executive officer’s positions and functional responsibilities, promoting recruitment and retention, the performance of the executive officer and the Company’s annual and long-term performance, as applicable.

The peer group used to set 2020 base salaries, bonus targets and long-term equity awards for our NEOs consisted of the following 12 similarly sized retail real estate investment trusts (“REITs”):

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The market for experienced management is highly competitive in our industry. One of our principal goals and keys to our success is to attract and retain the most highly qualified executives to manage each of our business functions. Our compensation committee works with FPL to understand competitive pay practices within the REIT industry and to design executive compensation programs that fit our business strategy and align the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee made certain determinations with respect to fiscal 2020 long term incentive compensation to recognize the achievements of our NEOs during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensure sustained engagement and drive key business results as further outlined below. We seek to provide total compensation to our NEOs that is competitive with the total compensation paid by comparable REITs and other real estate companies in our peer group.

Key Compensation Program Developments

In 2020, our Compensation Committee worked with FPL to modify and enhance the design of our annual cash bonus program and long-term incentive program to better align with the Company’s business strategy and industry and peer practices. Moving into 2020, the Company was less focused on acquisition and disposition volume as a strategic target. As a result, the 2020 bonus program approved by the Compensation Committee included a strategic initiatives objective in lieu of the acquisition and disposition objectives contained in our 2019 program. This change affected 15% of the objectives under the bonus program. The remaining objectives representing 85% of the program were unchanged. The Compensation Committee believes that the revised program properly aligned with the Company’s 2020 strategy. Shown below are the year-over-year changes to our annual cash bonus program and a summary of the year-over-year metrics under our long-term incentive program, which did not change in 2020.

Elements of Executive Compensation Program

The following describes the primary components of our executive compensation program for each of our NEOs for 2020, the rationale for each component and how compensation amounts were determined.

Base Salary

In 2020, we provided our NEOs with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to us during the year. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. The base salaries for each of the NEOs for 2020 were determined based in part on the analysis by FPL of the compensation practices of companies in the Company’s peer group. The following table sets forth the annual base salary rates for each of our NEOs for 2020.

Name	2020 Annual Base Salary
Thomas P. McGuinness	$819,545
Daniel J. Busch	$431,000
Christy L. David	$399,351
Ivy Z. Greaner	$503,927

The Compensation Committee approved annual base salaries for 2021, for Messrs. McGuinness and Busch and Ms. David of $819,545, $525,000 and $490,000 respectively.

Annual Cash Bonuses

Our 2020 compensation program for our NEOs was designed to align key financial and operational achievements with the annual cash bonuses to such NEOs. Annual cash bonuses were focused primarily on financial performance for 2020, as well as individual performance. Under our annual bonus programs for 2020, our NEOs were eligible to earn cash bonuses based on each of their individual performances in support of our financial, operational, and cultural goals for 2020, as well as our achievement in 2020 of performance goals relating to AFFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities per share, Same-Property Modified Net Operating Income (“NOI”) growth, strategic initiatives. For more information regarding these metrics and why management believes they are useful for investors, please see “Item 6. Selected Financial Data” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The strategic initiative objectives were determined to be the following:

• Maintain a disciplined and accountable operations platform;

• Maintain a disciplined balance sheet and capital allocation strategy; and

• Further solidify compliance reporting standards.

29

Executive Compensation

In response to these metrics, management did the following in an effort to achieve these strategic initiative:

• Developed Operations Committee to expedite lease approvals, deferrals and modification;

• Preserved capital by delaying transaction effort and drawing on the Company’s line of credit to further fortify the balance sheet; and

• Researched and elected ASC 842, expanded internal control procedures, and expanded disclosure and transparency in SEC filings and other investor materials.

Our compensation committee believes these annual targeted operational and financial goals align with our strategy to attain long-term financial stability that will support sustained cash flows beneficial to our shareholders. Performance of each NEO was not evaluated solely upon satisfaction of pre-determined performance goals but was also evaluated subjectively by the compensation committee.

For the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, each of the NEOs was eligible to receive an annual cash bonus based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria. Target annual cash bonus awards for Messrs. McGuinness and Busch and Mmes. Greaner and David, were specified by the program, with threshold and maximum bonus levels determined on an annual basis. The target bonus levels for our NEOs for 2020 were:

Name	Target Annual Bonus     (% of annual base salary)
Thomas P. McGuinness	125%
Daniel J. Busch	95%
Christy L. David	95%
Ivy Z. Greaner	95%

Under the annual bonus program for our NEOs, the 2020 performance goals were:

Performance Goals Metrics

Additionally, in the event the Company’s debt to gross asset value exceeds a percentage established by the compensation committee, then the portion of each executive’s bonus that corresponds to AFFO per share performance may be reduced by up to 20%.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Executive Compensation

2020 Company Performance Target: Same-Property Modified NOI (2019 - 2020)
Threshold - 0.8x	Target - 1.0x	Maximum - 1.2x	2020 Results	Performance to Target Achieved
0.6%	1.6%	2.6%	-5.9%	0x

Why is this Metric Important?

We evaluate the performance of our properties based on [Same-Property] Modified Net Operating Income (“NOI”), which excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, provision for asset impairment, other income and expense, net, gains (losses) from sales of properties, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, net, equity in (losses) earnings and (impairment), net, from unconsolidated entities, lease termination income and expense, and GAAP rent adjustments (such as straight-line rent, above/below market lease amortization and amortization of lease incentives). Same-Property Modified NOI includes the results of our wholly owned properties and our pro rata share of the properties included in our IAGM joint venture.

Target

The 2020 Company Performance Target for Same-Property Modified NOI growth was 1.6%. The target level was set based on the Company’s expectations for the year.

Performance

Actual Same-Property Modified NOI performance was -5.9%, which was below threshold performance.

2020 Company Performance Target: AFFO / Share
Threshold - 0.8x	Target - 1.0x	Maximum - 1.2x	2020 Results	Performance to Target Achieved
$0.133	$0.148	$0.163	$0.135	0.83x

Why is this Metric Important?

AFFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for certain remaining amortization assumptions within FFO and other unique revenue and expense items which are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. We use AFFO as an input to our compensation plan to determine cash bonuses and measure the achievement of certain performance-based equity awards.

Target

The 2020 Company Performance Target for AFFO Per Share was $0.148 per share. The target level was set based on the Company’s expectations for the year.

Performance

Actual Adjusted FFO Per Share was $0.135, resulting in an achievement of 83% of target.

Our compensation committee determined that the bonus amounts for the strategic initiatives objectives were payable at 100% of target for Mr. McGuinness, 100% of target for Mr. Busch, and 100% of target for Ms. David. In addition, our compensation committee determined that the bonus amounts for individual performance were payable at 120% of target for Mr. McGuinness, 120% of target for Mr. Busch, and 120% of target for Ms. David. Ms. Greaner was not eligible for a 2020 annual bonus due to her resignation, effective November 6, 2020.

Based on these results, bonuses were determined as follows for the NEOs:

Name	AFFO per Share	Modified NOI	Strategic             Initiatives	Individual           Performance	2020 Total  Bonus
Thomas P. McGuinness	83%	0%	100%	120%	69.9%
Daniel J. Busch	83%	0%	100%	120%	69.9%
Christy L. David	83%	0%	100%	120%	69.9%

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive

The goals of our long-term equity-based awards granted in 2020 were to promote and encourage efforts towards the execution of our long-term business plans and, thereby, to align the interest of our officers, including our NEOs, with those of our shareholders by directly linking the value of the RSUs granted to our NEOs with the value of the Company.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

In 2020, our compensation committee approved the following RSU awards (with dividend equivalents) to our NEOs (the “RSU Awards”) under the InvenTrust Properties Corp. 2015 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Award Plan”) and pursuant to one or more restricted stock unit award agreements (the “RSU Award Agreements”).

Name	Number of RSUs1
Thomas P. McGuinness	1,074,842
Daniel J. Busch	286,625
Christy L. David	167,198
Ivy Z. Greaner (2)	358,281

1) The number of RSUs reflect the performance-based restricted stock units granted at the maximum level

2) All unvested shares granted to Ms. Greaner were forfeited upon her resignation, effective November 6, 2020

Total grants expressed above have been separated into two tranches, as described below:

			3-YEAR CLIFF BESTING BASED ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF PERFORMANCE METRICS
	50%	3-Year Performance Based LTI Award	50% - Average Same Property NOI Growth Against NAREIT Center Index 50% - AFFO per Share Growth Against Target
	50%	3-Year Time Based LTI Award	ANNUAL VESTING OF ONE-THIRD AWARD, SUBJECT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Executive Compensation

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units

One-third of each of the RSU Awards vests in three equal annual installments on the last business day of each of 2020, 2021 and 2022, subject to the executive’s continued service. If an executive’s service is terminated by us other than for “cause,” or by the executive for “good reason,” in either case, on the date of, or during the twenty-four month period following, a change in control of the Company, or due to the executive’s death or “disability” (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement), any then-unvested time-based RSUs will vest in full upon such termination. Upon an executive’s termination of service for any other reason, any then-unvested time-based RSUs will automatically be cancelled and forfeited by the executive. Any RSUs that become vested will be paid to the executive in whole shares of our common stock within 60 days after the applicable vesting date.

Each RSU was granted in tandem with a corresponding dividend equivalent. Each dividend equivalent entitles the executive to receive payments equal to the amount of the dividends paid on the shares of common stock underlying the unvested RSUs to which the dividend equivalent relates.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

Pursuant to the performance vesting RSUs, each NEO is eligible to vest in a number of RSUs ranging from 0% to 100% of the total number of RSUs granted, based on (i) the Company’s AFFO per share of common stock (“Company AFFO per Share”), and (ii) the average annual growth rate in the Company’s same-property NOI (“Company Same-Property NOI Growth”) compared to the average annual growth rate in the same-property net operating income of each of the members of the NAREIT Shopping Center Index (the “Shopping Center Index Same-Property NOI Growth”), in each case, during the performance period commencing on January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”), subject to the executive’s continued service.

Fifty percent of the performance vesting RSUs are designated as “AFFO RSUs,” and 50% of the performance vesting RSUs are designated as “Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs.” With respect to the AFFO RSUs, in the event that the Company AFFO per Share is achieved at the “threshold,” “target” or “maximum” level established by the Compensation Committee, the award will become vested with respect to the percentage of AFFO RSUs set forth to the right:

	AFFO Performance Vesting Percentage
	0%
“Threshold Level”	25%
“Target Level”	50%
“Maximum Level”	100%

If the Company AFFO per Share falls between the levels specified above, the percentage of AFFO RSUs that vest will be determined using straight-line linear interpolation between such levels.

The Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs vest based on the Company Same-Property NOI Growth as compared to the Shopping Center Index Same-Property NOI Growth (the “Shopping Center Index Relative Performance”). In the event that the Shopping Center Index Relative Performance is achieved at the “threshold,” “target” or “maximum” level as set forth below, the award will become vested with respect to the percentage of Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs set forth below:

	Shopping Center Index Relative   Performance	Same-Property NOI Growth Performance Vesting Percentage
	< 25th Percentile	0%
“Threshold Level”	> 25th Percentile	25%
“Target Level”	> 50th Percentile	50%
“Maximum Level”	> 85th Percentile	100%

33

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

34

Executive Compensation

If the Shopping Center Index Relative Performance falls between the levels specified above, the percentage of Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs that vest will be determined using straight-line linear interpolation between such levels.

The table below sets forth the number of AFFO RSUs and Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs awarded to each respective NEO:

Name	AFFO RSUs	Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs
Thomas P. McGuinness	358,281	358,281
Daniel J. Busch	95,542	95,542
Christy L. David	55,733	55,733
Ivy Z. Greaner	119,427	119,427

If an NEO is terminated by the Company other than for “cause”, by the NEO for “good reason”, or due to the NEO’s death or disability prior to completion of the applicable performance period, the portion of the RSU Award that is subject to performance vesting will remain outstanding and eligible to vest in accordance with the performance vesting schedules described in the applicable RSU Award Agreement with the number of performance vesting RSUs that vest upon the completion of such performance period determined on a pro rata basis, based on the number of days that the NEO was employed during such performance period. If an NEO is terminated by the Company other than for “cause”, by the NEO for “good reason”, or due to the NEO’s death or disability, following the completion of the applicable performance period but prior to the date on which vested RSUs are paid, the RSUs will vest based on actual performance in accordance with the performance vesting schedules described in the applicable RSU Award Agreement. In either case, any performance vesting RSUs that do not become vested will be cancelled and forfeited by the NEO.

In addition, in the event of a change in control of the Company prior to the completion of the applicable performance period, the AFFO RSUs will vest based on actual performance as of the date of the change in control (using pro-rated threshold, target and maximum level goals reflecting the portion of the performance period which was completed prior to the change in control), and the Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs will vest based on actual performance as of the last day of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter preceding the date of the change in control, in each case, subject to the NEO’s continued service until immediately prior to the change in control. Any performance vesting RSUs that have not vested as of the date on which the change in control occurs will be cancelled and forfeited by the NEO.

Additional information regarding the vesting terms and conditions applicable to all outstanding RSU awards held by our NEOs is set forth under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Other Elements of Compensation

In 2020, we provided customary employee benefits to our full- and part-time employees, including our NEOs, including medical and dental benefits, short-term and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and group life insurance.

We have established a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. In 2020, our NEOs were eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. For 2020, we matched dollar for dollar the contributions made by participants in the 401(k) plan for the first $6,000 of the employee’s contributions. These matching contributions are subject to vesting based on the participant’s years of service. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan, and making matching contributions, adds to the overall desirability of our compensation packages and further incentivizes our employees in accordance with our compensation policies.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Executive Compensation

Severance and Change in Control-Based Compensation

As more fully described below under the caption “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” each of our NEOs has been designated as a participant in our Executive Severance and Change of Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”).

The terms and conditions of the Severance Plan and the payments and benefits to which the NEOs may become entitled under such plans in the event of a qualifying termination of employment are more fully described below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

We believe that job security and terminations of employment, both within and outside of the change in control context, are causes of significant concern and uncertainty for senior executives and that providing protections to our NEOs in these contexts is therefore appropriate in order to alleviate these concerns and allow the executives to remain focused on their duties and responsibilities to the Company in all situations.

Furthermore, the RSU Award Agreements provide for accelerated vesting of the awards upon certain terminations of employment. A detailed description of the acceleration provisions applicable to the RSU Awards is set forth under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Code Section 162(m) 

Generally, Section 162(m) of the Code disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year to certain of its executive officers. We believe that we qualify as a REIT under the Code and generally are not subject to federal income taxes, provided that we distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our taxable income each year. As a result of the Company’s tax status as a REIT, the loss of a deduction under Section 162(m) may not affect the amount of federal income tax payable by the Company. Therefore, our Board and our compensation committee generally have not taken the deductibility limit imposed by Section 162(m) into consideration in setting compensation.

Code Section 409A

Section 409A of the Code, or Section 409A, requires that “nonqualified deferred compensation” be deferred and paid under plans or arrangements that satisfy the requirements of the statute with respect to the timing of deferral elections, timing of payments and certain other matters. Failure to satisfy these requirements can expose employees and other service providers to accelerated income tax liabilities, penalty taxes and interest on their vested compensation under such plans. Accordingly, as a general matter, it is our intention to design and administer our compensation and benefits plans and arrangements for all of our employees and other service providers, including our NEOs, so that they are either exempt from, or satisfy the requirements of, Section 409A.

Code Section 280G

Section 280G of the Code disallows a tax deduction with respect to excess parachute payments to certain executives of companies which undergo a change in control. In addition, Section 4999 of the Code imposes a 20% excise tax on the individual with respect to the excess parachute payment. Parachute payments are compensation linked to or triggered by a change in control and may include, but are not limited to, bonus payments, severance payments, certain fringe benefits, and payments and acceleration of vesting from long-term incentive plans including share units and other equity-based compensation. Excess parachute payments are parachute payments that exceed a threshold determined under Section 280G based on the executive’s prior compensation. In approving the compensation arrangements for our NEOs, our Board and our compensation committee consider all elements of the cost to our company of providing such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 280G. However, our Board or our compensation committee may, in their judgment, authorize compensation arrangements that could give rise to loss of deductibility under Section 280G and the imposition of excise taxes under Section 4999 when they believe that such arrangements are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or ASC Topic 718, for our stock-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to calculate the grant date “fair value” of their stock-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based awards in their income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award. Grants of Annual Share Unit Awards and Contingency Share Unit Awards under the Retail Plan and RSU Awards under the Incentive Award Plan are accounted for as equity awards under ASC Topic 718. Our compensation committee regularly considers the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of our equity awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

Severance and Change In Control Plans

On July 9, 2018, our compensation committee adopted the Severance Plan and has designated each of Messrs. McGuinness and Busch and Mmes. Greaner and David as participants in the Severance Plan.

The terms and conditions of the Severance Plan and the CIC Severance Plan and the payments and benefits to which the NEOs may become entitled under such plans in the event of a qualifying termination of employment are more fully described below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

1. Amounts represent the number of outstanding RSUs multiplied by $2.89, which is equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock, which was as of December 1, 2020.

2. Represents outstanding RSUs, which vest, subject to the executive’s continued service on the vesting date, at 100% on the last business day of 2021. If the executive’s service is terminated by us other than for “cause” or by the executive for “good reason,” in either case, on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control of the Company, or due to the executive’s death or “disability” (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement), the RSU Award will vest in full upon such termination.

3. Represents outstanding RSUs, which vest, subject to the executive’s continued service on each applicable vesting date, as follows: 49% on the last business day of 2021 and 51% on the last business day of 2022. If the executive’s service is terminated by us other than for “cause” or by the executive for “good reason,” in either case, on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control of the Company, or due to the executive’s death or “disability” (as defined in the RSU Award Agreement), the RSU Award will vest in full upon such termination.

Executive Compensation

4. Represents outstanding RSUs, which vest, subject to the executive’s continued service on the vesting date, based on the achievement of certain performance metrics as described herein, under the section “Performance Based Restricted Stock.” With respect to performance vesting RSUs granted in 2020, the AFFO and Same Property NOI Growth performance goals would have been achieved at $0.133 per share and 0.6%, respectively, had the applicable performance period ended on December 31, 2020 (rather than the end of the actual performance period). Therefore, in accordance with SEC rules, amounts shown for the performance vesting RSUs granted in 2019 are based on the threshold level of achievement of both the AFFO and Same-Property Modified NOI Growth performance goals, respectively and amounts shown for the performance vesting RSUs granted in 2020 are based on the maximum level of achievement of both the AFFO and Same-Property Modified NOI Growth performance goals, respectively.

Stock Vested

The following table provides information regarding RSU Awards held by Messrs. McGuinness and Busch and Ms. David that vested during 2020:

Name	Number of Shares Acquired on Vesting (#)	Values Realized on Vesting ($)(1)
Thomas P. McGuinness	237,545	686,505
Daniel J. Busch	35,615	102,927
Christy L. David	42,112	121,704

1. Amounts represent the number of shares of our common stock acquired in connection with the vesting of RSUs multiplied by $2.89, which is equal to the estimated value per share of our common stock as of December 1, 2020 and was the latest valuation available on the vesting date.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our NEOs are entitled to certain payments and benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment (whether or not such termination is in connection with a change in control) or upon a change in control or Listing Event. The following discussion describes the payments and benefits to which our NEOs, would have become entitled upon a qualifying termination or change in control, as applicable, occurring on December 31, 2020.

Executive Severance and Change In Control Plan

Each of our NEOs have been designated as participants in the Severance Plan. Under the Severance Plan, in the event a participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without “cause” (other than by reason of death or disability) or by the participant for “good reason” (each, as defined in the Severance Plan), the participant will be entitled to receive the following:

• A severance payment in an amount equal to a multiple of the participant’s annual base salary and target cash bonus, payable in equal installments over a period of 12 months commencing within 60 days following the participant’s termination date (except as described below); and

• payment or reimbursement by the Company of premiums for healthcare continuation coverage under COBRA for the participant and his or her dependents for up to 18 months after the termination date.

The cash severance multiple for each executive for both non-change of control and change of control termination scenarios is as follows: Mr. McGuinness – 2x (non-change of control) and 3x (change of control); Mr. Busch and Ms. David – 1.5x (non-change of control) and 2.5x (change of control). The change of control severance multiple will apply in the event of a qualifying termination of employment that occurs on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a “change of control” (as defined in the Severance Plan). Cash severance payable in the event of a qualifying change of control termination will be made in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following the participant’s termination date (rather than installments over 12 months). A participant’s right to receive the severance or other benefits described above will be subject to the participant signing, delivering and not revoking a general release agreement in a form generally used by the Company.

Executive Compensation

The Severance Plan also provides that in the event of a change of control or certain specified events resulting in a listing of the Company’s shares on a national securities exchange (including an initial public offering), a participant will be eligible to receive a pro-rated portion of the participant’s target annual bonus for the year in which such event occurs.

The Severance Plan further provides that, to the extent that any payment or benefit received by a participant in connection with a change of control would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, such payments and/or benefits will be subject to a “best pay cap” reduction if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the participant than receiving the full amount of such payments.

Each letter agreement entered into with the executives contains a confidentiality covenant by the executive that extends indefinitely, a noncompetition covenant that extends during the executive’s employment and for a period of one year following a termination of the executive’s employment, and an employee and independent contractor non-solicitation covenant that extends during the executive’s employment and for a period of three years following a termination of the executive’s employment. Each letter agreement also includes a mutual non-disparagement covenant by the executive and the Company.

The Company may amend or terminate the Severance Plan at any time and for any reason, provided that a participant’s right to receive payments and benefits under the Plan may not, without the participant’s written consent, be adversely affected by an amendment or termination of the Severance Plan made within 12 months prior to the participant’s termination of employment or within 12 months before and after a change of control. The Company is required to provide notice to participants within 15 days of any amendment or termination of the Severance Plan.

Greaner Resignation

Ms. Greaner resigned from her position as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and as an employee of the Company, effective November 6, 2020. As of the effective date of her resignation, all unvested restricted stock unit awards held by Ms. Greaner were forfeited. We did not pay or provide severance payments or benefits to Ms. Greaner in connection with her resignation.

McGuinness Resignation, Retirement, Separation and Consulting Agreement

On February 23, 2021, the Company announced that Mr. McGuinness had resigned as President of the Company, effective February 22, 2021 and would retire from his position as Chief Executive Officer on August 6, 2021 (the “retirement date”).

On February 18, 2021, in connection with Mr. McGuinness’ resignation as President and retirement from his position as Chief Executive Officer, the Board and the Compensation Committee of the Board approved, and the Company entered into, a Separation and Consulting Agreement between the Company and Mr. McGuinness (the “Separation Agreement”) reflecting the terms of Mr. McGuinness’ resignation and retirement as described above.

Subject to Mr. McGuinness’ continued employment with the Company until the retirement date (or any earlier date on which Mr. McGuinness’ employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or due to his death or disability), his timely execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims and his continued compliance with certain terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement, Mr. McGuinness will be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits (i) an amount equal to $611,852 representing a pro-rata portion of Mr. McGuinness’ target annual performance bonus for fiscal year 2021, payable in a lump sum within 30 days following the retirement date, and (ii) continued health insurance coverage under COBRA at the Company’s expense for eighteen (18) months following the retirement date (or until August 31, 2023 in the case of Mr. McGuinness’ spouse).

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Executive Compensation

All unvested time-vesting restricted stock units held by Mr. McGuinness will vest in full as of the date on which he no longer provides services to the Company as an employee, consultant or member of the Board (other than due to a termination by the Company for “cause” or by Mr. McGuinness without “good reason”) and all performance-vesting restricted stock units held by Mr. McGuinness will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual achievement of applicable performance metrics, in accordance with their terms, pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed during the applicable performance period prior to the retirement date.

Provided that Mr. McGuinness remains employed with the Company through the retirement date, Mr. McGuinness will provide consulting services to the Company as may be requested by the Company’s then-current Chief Executive Officer or other executive officers during the period commencing on the retirement date and ending on May 1, 2022. The Separation Agreement provides that Mr. McGuinness will be available to render up to 10 hours of consulting services per week during the consulting period. In exchange for such consulting services, the Company will pay Mr. McGuinness a consulting fee of $50,000 per month. The consulting period may be terminated for any reason by either party on at least 30 days advance written notice; provided, however that if the consulting period is terminated by the Company without “cause” prior to May 1, 2022, then the Company will pay Mr. McGuinness a lump sum cash amount equal to the value of the consulting fee that would otherwise have been payable for any full or partial month of his consulting services between the date of such termination and May 1, 2022. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Mr. McGuinness for any attorneys’ fees incurred by him in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Separation Agreement.

The Separation Agreement also requires that Mr. McGuinness continue to comply with restrictive covenants pursuant to his letter agreement under (and defined in) the Severance Plan, provided Mr. McGuinness’ noncompetition covenant will continue to apply through December 31, 2023 (rather than through the 12-month anniversary of his termination of employment).

RSU Awards

The RSU Award Agreements provide for accelerated vesting of the awards in the event of certain terminations of service.

Time-Based RSUs

If an NEO’s service is terminated by us other than for “cause” or by the NEO for “good reason,” in either case, on the date of, or during the 24 month period following, a change in control of the Company, or due to the NEO’s death or “disability” (as defined in the RSU Award Agreements), the time-vesting RSU Awards held by the NEO will vest in full upon such termination.

Performance-Based RSUs

If an NEO is terminated by the Company other than for “cause”, by the NEO for “good reason”, or due to the NEO’s death or disability prior to completion of the applicable performance period, the portion of the RSU Award that is subject to performance vesting will remain outstanding and eligible to vest in accordance with the performance vesting schedules described in the applicable RSU Award Agreement with the number of performance vesting RSUs that vest upon the completion of such performance period determined on a pro rata basis, based on the number of days that the NEO was employed during such performance period. If an NEO is terminated by the Company other than for “cause”, by the NEO for “good reason”, or due to the NEO’s death or disability, following the completion of the applicable performance period but prior to the date on which vested RSUs are paid, the RSUs will vest based on actual performance in accordance with the performance vesting schedules described in the applicable RSU Award Agreement. In either case, any performance vesting RSUs that do not become vested will be cancelled and forfeited by the NEO.

In addition, in the event of a change in control of the Company prior to the completion of the applicable performance period, the AFFO RSUs will vest based on actual performance as of the date of the change in control (using pro-rated threshold, target and maximum level goals reflecting the portion of the performance period which was completed prior to the change in control), and the Same-Property NOI Growth RSUs will vest based on actual performance as of the last day of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter preceding the date of the change in control, in each case, subject to the NEO’s continued service until immediately prior to the change in control. Any RSUs that have not vested as of the date on which the change in control occurs will be cancelled and forfeited by the NEO.

Represents the aggregate value of the NEO’s unvested RSUs which would vest in connection with the executive’s termination of employment, calculated, (i) with respect to time-based vesting RSUs by multiplying the applicable number of RSUs subject to each RSU Award by $2.89, which is equal to the estimated value per share of our common stock as of December 31, 2020, and (ii) with respect to performance vesting RSUs (a) based on actual achievement of performance criteria as of December 31, 2020 with respect to the occurrence of a change in control of the Company and (b) assuming that performance goals are achieved at maximum in the case of termination other than for “cause”, by the NEO for “good reason”, or due to the NEO’s death or disability not in connection with a change in control of the Company.

6. Represents reimbursement of COBRA premiums. The amounts associated with COBRA premiums were calculated using 2020 enrollment rates, multiplied by the maximum 18-month period during which the executive may be entitled to reimbursement of COBRA premiums.

Executive Compensation

CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the ratio of the annual total compensation of our median employee to the annual total compensation of Thomas McGuinness, our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”). We consider the pay ratio specified below to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

For 2020, our last completed annual period:

• the annual total compensation of the employee who represents our median compensated employee (other than our CEO) was $104,091; and

• the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $3,511,634.

Based on this information, for 2020, the annual total compensation of our CEO was approximately 33.7 times the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than the CEO).

Determining the Median Employee

Employee Population

The Company used our employee population data as of December 1, 2020 as the reference date for identifying our median employee. As of such date, our employee population consisted of approximately 123 individuals.

Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee

To identify the median employee from our employee population, we used 2020 annual base salary, bonus earned in 2020 and any long term incentive stock awards granted in 2020. In identifying the median employee, we annualized the compensation of all permanent employees who were new-hires and/or on leave of absence in 2020.

Compensation Measure and Annual Total Compensation of Median Employee

With respect to the annual total compensation of the employee who represents our median compensated employee, we calculated such employee’s compensation for 2020 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

Annual Total Compensation of CEO

With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2020 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Executive Compensation

Compensation Risk Assessment

We believe that our compensation policies and practices appropriately balance near-term performance improvement with sustainable long-term value creation, and that they do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. In 2019, our management conducted an extensive review of the design and operation of our compensation program and presented their findings to the compensation committee. The review included an assessment of the level of risk associated with the various elements of compensation. Based on this review and assessment, we believe that our compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Stock Ownership

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires each director, executive officer and individual beneficially owning more than 10% of our common stock to file initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of our common stock with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of these forms furnished to us during, and with respect to, the year ended December 31, 2020, or written representations that no additional forms were required, we believe that all of our executive officers and directors and persons that beneficially owned more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock complied with these filing requirements during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Certain Relationships And Related Person Transactions

Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions

Our Board has adopted a written policy regarding the review, approval and ratification of transactions with related persons, which we refer to as our “related person policy.” Our related person policy requires that management present to the audit committee any proposed “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any “related person” (as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K)) had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest), including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. The audit committee will review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, and either approve or disapprove the related person transaction.

If advance audit committee approval of a related person transaction requiring the audit committee’s approval is not feasible, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into by management upon prior approval of the transaction by the chair of the audit committee subject to ratification of the transaction by the audit committee at the audit committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification shall not be forthcoming, management shall make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul such transaction. Any related person transaction shall be consummated and shall continue only if the audit committee has approved or ratified such transaction in accordance with Section 2-419 of Maryland Code, Corporations and Associations (if applicable), or any successor provision thereto, our charter and bylaws and the guidelines set forth in the related person policy.

Audit Committee Report ⁽¹⁾

The audit committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) of InvenTrust Properties Corp. (the “Company”) assists the Board of directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements, the reporting process and maintaining an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company’s independent auditors are engaged to audit and express opinions on the conformity of the Company’s financial statements to United States generally accepted accounting principles.

In addition to fulfilling its oversight responsibilities as set forth in its charter and further described in the section of the Company’s proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders titled “Audit Committee,” the audit committee has performed the following:

• Prior to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

• Discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC.

• Evaluated KPMG’s qualifications, performance and independence (consistent with SEC requirements), which included the receipt and review of the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding KPMG’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and discussions with KPMG regarding its independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions with management and KPMG cited above, including the review of KPMG’s disclosures and letter to the audit committee and review of the representations of management and the reports of KPMG, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC.

Submitted by the members of the audit committee of the Board.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Proposal No. 2 Ratify Appointment of KPMG LLP

The audit committee has selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021. We are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection.

KPMG also served as our independent registered accounting firm for year ended December 31, 2021. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make such statements as they may desire.

Shareholder ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of KPMG to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. Furthermore, the audit committee will take the results of the shareholder vote regarding KPMG’s appointment into consideration in future deliberations. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company. Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Fees to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, together with fees for audit-related services and tax services rendered by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

	Year ended December 31,
Name	2020	2019
Audit fees (1)	$1,000,000	$991,000
Tax fees (2)	$124,907	121,789
Total	$1,124,907	$1,112,789

1. Audit fees consist of fees paid for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, review of our consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports, and audit fees incurred for the November 1, 2019 8-K filing related to Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X.

2. Tax fees are comprised of tax compliance and consulting fees.

Approval of Services and Fees

Our audit committee, or the chairperson of our audit committee, must pre-approve any audit and non-audit service provided to us by the independent auditor, unless the engagement is entered into pursuant to appropriate pre-approval policies established by the audit committee or if such service falls within available exceptions under SEC rules. If approved by the chairperson of the audit committee, such approval will be presented to the audit committee at its next meeting. The audit committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members when appropriate, including the authority to approve audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that the decision of the subcommittee to approve any service shall be presented to the full audit committee at its next scheduled meeting.

The audit committee has reviewed and approved all of the fees charged by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and actively monitors the relationship between audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG. The audit committee concluded that all services rendered by KPMG during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were consistent with maintaining KPMG’s independence. As a matter of policy, we will not engage our primary independent registered public accounting firm for non-audit services other than “audit-related services,” as defined by the SEC, certain tax services and other permissible non-audit services that are specifically approved as described above.

Proposal No. 3 Advisory Vote On Named Executive Officer Compensation (“Say On Pay”)

Background

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added under the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Act, we are asking our shareholders to vote upon a resolution to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and related compensation tables in the proxy.

Background

As described more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) section of this proxy statement, the compensation program for our NEOs is designed to align executive compensation with the Company’s performance and with shareholder interests, and to attract, motivate and retain talented and experienced executive officers through competitive compensation arrangements relative to our peer group. The program seeks to align a significant portion of executive compensation with our performance on a short-term and long-term basis through a combination of annual base salaries, annual incentives through cash bonuses and long-term incentives through equity-based compensation. The annual incentive payout for each NEO is based on our financial and operational performance and achievement of the executive’s individual performance goals, and each NEO’s annual cash bonus opportunity provides for threshold, target and maximum bonus amounts, expressed as a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. In addition, long-term incentive awards, including new grants of RSU awards, are intended to encourage actions to maximize shareholder value. We urge our shareholders to review the CD&A section of this proxy statement and related executive compensation tables for more information.

Recommendation

The Board believes that the information provided above and within the CD&A section of this proxy statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure that management’s interests are aligned with our shareholders’ interests to support long-term value creation. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, “FOR” the resolution set forth below approving the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion of this proxy statement.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon the Company. However, our Board and compensation committee value the opinions expressed by our shareholders in their vote on this proposal, and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.

As discussed in Proposal No. 4 below, our Board of Directors is recommending that our shareholders vote for three years as the frequency of our future say-on-pay votes. Unless our Board of Directors modifies its determination on the frequency of future “say-on-pay” advisory votes, the next say-on-pay vote will be held at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2024.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders & Proxy Statement 2021

Proposal No. 4 ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF FUTURE SAY-ON-PAY VOTES

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are asking our shareholders to vote on a non-binding basis on whether future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers should occur every year, every two years or every three years. We are providing our shareholders the option of selecting a frequency of one, two or three years, or abstaining.

Summary

After careful consideration, the board recommends that future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers occur every three years triennially. We believe that this frequency will be the most effective means for conducting and responding to the advisory vote based on a number of considerations, including the following:

• We do not believe that our executive compensation programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking that might be of concern to our shareholders, as confirmed by a review performed by the Company’s management and reviewed by the compensation committee; and

• Our executive compensation program, which was amended to include performance based long term incentive compensation based on three year metrics, is designed to support long-term value creation and a triennial vote will allow our shareholders to better judge the program in relation to our long-term performance.

For the foregoing reasons, we encourage our shareholders to evaluate our executive compensation programs over a multi-year horizon and to review our named executive officers’ compensation over the past three fiscal years. In addition, we believe that a triennial advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers reflects the appropriate time frame for our compensation committee and the board to evaluate the results of the most recent advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, to discuss the implications of that vote our shareholders to the extent needed, to develop and implement any adjustments to our executive compensation programs that may be appropriate in light of a past advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, and for shareholders to see and evaluate the compensation committee’s actions in context. In this regard, because the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers occurs after we have already implemented our executive compensation programs for the current year, and because the different elements of compensation are designed to complement one another, we expect that in certain cases it may not be appropriate or feasible to fully address and respond to any one year’s advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers by the time of the following years annual meeting of shareholders.

Recommendation

Based on the factors discussed above, the board has determined to recommend that future advisory votes on executive compensation occur every THREE YEARS until the next frequency advisory vote.

Shareholders will be able to specify one of four choice for this proposal on the proxy card: three years, two years, one year or abstain. Shareholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the board’s recommendation, but rather to indicate their choice among these frequency options. In order for any of the three alternative frequencies to be approved, it must receive a majority of the votes cast on this proposal. In the event that no option receives a majority of the votes cast, we will consider the option that receives the most votes to be the option selected by the shareholders. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon the Company. However, our board values the opinions expressed by our shareholders in their vote proposal, and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote.
