These represent long term incentive plan units ("LTIP Units"), a class of units of Empire State Realty OP, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). Conditioned upon sufficient allocations to the capital accounts of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes, LTIP Units are convertible by the reporting person, upon vesting, into an equivalent number of units of limited partnership interests ("Operating Partnership Units") of the Operating Partnership, which are redeemable by the holder for shares of Class A Common Stock of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Issuer") on a one-for-one basis or the cash value of such shares, at the Issuer's option. The rights to convert LTIP units into Operating Partnership Units and redeem Operating Partnership Units do not have expiration dates.
These LTIP Units were earned on the achievement of certain performance criteria based on the Issuer's total shareholder return measured in both absolute and industry-relative terms during a three-year performance period which ended on January 31, 2018. 50% of such earned LTIP units fully vested as of February 1, 2018, and the remaining 50% of such earned LTIP units will vest on February 1, 2019, subject to continued employment.
