The values of the stock awards were determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the grant date, which was $31.44. The shares vest ratably over four years. On January 1, 2024, each named executive officer was awarded 6,360 shares of restricted stock having a value of $200,000, which awards are subject to performance conditions and the recipient’s continuous service to the Company (the “2023 LTI Grant”) The performance conditions will be met if certain of the Company’s joint ventures achieve an aggregate target net operating income (NOI) of $65,827,011 for the 24-month performance period ending December 31, 2025. Restricted shares are subject to partial forfeiture if NOI for the performance period is less than the target NOI but greater than or equal to a minimum threshold NOI of $55,952,959 (at which level 50% of the restricted shares will be forfeited), and are subject to complete forfeiture if NOI for the performance period is less than the threshold NOI. Shares of restricted stock that are not forfeited will vest as follows: 25% on the evaluation date (which is expected to be in March 2026), and 25% on December 31 in each of 2026, 2027, and 2028. Vesting of restricted stock will be accelerated upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan). The values of the restricted stock awards were determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the grant date, which was $31.44. In connection with the 2024 LTI Grant, each named executive officer was also awarded performance shares, which are not reported in the table based on probable outcome of performance conditions to which they are subject. The performance share awards represent the opportunity for each named executive officer to receive additional shares of restricted stock on the evaluation date if NOI for the performance period exceeds the target NOI, up to a maximum award value of $50,000, which would be earned upon the achievement of 125% of target NOI of $68,007,655. The performance shares are subject to partial forfeiture if NOI for the performance period is greater than the target NOI but less than the maximum NOI, and are subject to complete forfeiture if NOI for the performance period is less than or equal to the target NOI. If earned, the number of restricted shares issued would be calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of issuance, and the restricted shares would be subject to the same conditions and vesting schedule as the restricted share grant described above.

The performance share awards represent the opportunity for each named executive officer to receive additional shares of restricted stock on the evaluation date if NOI for the performance period exceeds the target NOI, up to a maximum award value of $50,000, which would be earned upon the achievement of 125% of target NOI ($38,263,881). The performance shares are subject to partial forfeiture if NOI for the performance period is greater than the target NOI but less than the maximum NOI, and are subject to complete forfeiture if NOI for the performance period is less than or equal to the target NOI. If earned, the number of restricted shares issued would be calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of issuance, and the restricted shares would be subject to the same conditions and vesting schedule as the restricted share grant described above. (2)This column reflects stock options granted to John D. Baker III under the Equity Incentive Plan. On January 1, 2024, Mr. Baker was granted $150,000 of options vesting over 4 years and having a term of 10 years. On January 1, 2024, Mr. Baker was granted $200,000 of options in connection with the 2024 LTI grant that vest as described above. The value shown for all awards reflects the FASB ASC Topic 718 expense associated with the options using the Black-Scholes pricing model, estimating the fair market value of stock options using the assumption of a risk-free interest rate of 3.84%, dividend yield of zero, volatility of 75.27%, and an expected life of 7 years. (3)This column represents amounts paid under the Company’s management incentive compensation plan (the “MIC Plan”). The MIC Plan provides officers an opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus for achieving specified performance based goals. Individual awards are expressed as a percentage of each officer’s base salary and are determined by the achievement of individual performance goals, subject to any Company performance criteria set for the applicable period, all of which is set by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis. Each year, a portion of each named executive officer’s cash bonus is contingent upon a determination that the internal control over financial reporting for the company was effective during the applicable year. For the 12-month MIC Period ending December 31, 2024, John D. Baker III, David H. deVilliers, Jr., and David H. deVilliers III were eligible to receive bonuses in an amount of up to 125% of their base salaries. Bonuses were contingent upon the Company’s achievement of (i) a combined target representing net operating income (including our joint venture partners’ shares) for all segments except for the mining segment, plus pre-tax cash and profit events (referred to as NOI+) for the MIC Period, and (ii) a target square feet leased for FRP-owned assets during the MIC Period. The targets were weighted at 95% and 5% of the bonus pool, respectively, but an achievement in excess of one target (up to 25%) could be applied to eliminate any corresponding deficit in meeting the other target. The maximum bonus pool (125%) was available upon the achievement of NOI+ of $48,782,778 and 20,766 square feet leased. The target NOI+ and square feet leased were $44,952,560 and 8,842, respectively, which would have resulted in the achievement of 100% of the eligible bonus pool. The threshold NOI+ and square feet leased were $38,407,560 and 0, respectively, which would have resulted in the achievement of 50% of the eligible bonus pool.

Baker II and David H. deVilliers, Jr. were eligible to receive bonuses in an amount of up to 125% of their base salaries, and David H. deVilliers III was eligible to receive a bonus in an amount of up to 118.75% of his base salary.

No dividends were issued during these years. (6)The amounts set forth in column (g) reflects the net income of the Company during each of the fiscal years reported. Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Tables The Company is focused on creating long-term value for shareholders by maximizing the value of its real estate holdings and making strategic investments. Our projects typically take several years to come to fruition, and our net income may vary significantly from year to year based on the status of those projects. Accordingly, we do not tie compensation specifically to net income; rather, the Company’s MIC plan calculates bonuses based on net operating income, leased square feet and the achievement of specified individual goals, and longer-term equity-based awards vest based on the aggregate net operating income of certain joint ventures. The following chart reflects the relationship between “compensation actually paid” to our PEO and our non-PEO NEOs and the Company’s total shareholder return over the period the fiscal years shown. An integral part of our executive compensation program is equity-based. The Company’s objective in granting equity-based awards is to align our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders by providing a continuing incentive to maximize long-term value for shareholders and encouraging long-term employment.
