  4. OUR RESPONSES TO STOCKHOLDER INPUT

    Pursuant to Aimco’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the “Charter”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), directors are elected at each annual meeting of stockholders and hold office for one year, and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. Aimco’s Bylaws currently authorize a Board consisting of not fewer than three persons. The Board currently consists of nine directors. Upon the selection and recommendation of the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee, the Board has unanimously nominated and recommended the following nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting:

  5. OUR RESPONSES TO STOCKHOLDER INPUT

    | Wes Powell | Jay Paul Leupp | R. Dary Stone | | Quincy L. Allen | Sherry L. Rexroad | James P. Sullivan | | Patricia L. Gibson | Deborah Smith | Kirk A. Sykes |

  6. OUR RESPONSES TO STOCKHOLDER INPUT

    All of the nominees were elected to the Board at the last annual meeting of stockholders. Messrs. Allen, Leupp, Stone, Sullivan, and Sykes and Mses. Gibson, Rexroad, and Smith are not employed by, or affiliated with, Aimco, other than by serving as directors of Aimco. Unless authority to vote for the election of directors has been specifically withheld, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the election of Messrs. Powell, Allen, Leupp, Stone, Sullivan, and Sykes and Mses. Gibson, Rexroad, and Smith to hold office as directors for a term of one year until their successors are elected and qualify at the next annual meeting of stockholders. All nominees have advised the Board that they are able and willing to serve as directors. If any nominee becomes unavailable for any reason (which is not anticipated), the shares represented by proxies at the Annual Meeting may be voted for such other person or persons as may be determined by the holders of the proxies (unless a proxy contains instructions to the contrary). In no event will the proxy be voted for more than nine nominees. In an uncontested election at the meeting of stockholders, any nominee to serve as a director of the Company will be elected if the director receives a vote of the majority of votes cast, which means that the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of votes “against” that director. With respect to a contested election, a plurality of all the votes cast at the meeting of stockholders will be sufficient to elect a director. If a nominee who currently is serving as a director receives a greater number of “against” votes for his or her election than votes “for” such election (a “Majority Against Vote”) in an uncontested election, Maryland law provides that the director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” However, under Aimco’s bylaws, any nominee for election as a director in an uncontested election who receives a Majority Against Vote is obligated to tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration following certification of the vote. The Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee will consider any resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept it. The Board is required to take action with respect to the Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee’s recommendation. For purposes of the election of directors, abstentions or broker non-votes as to the election of directors will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Unless instructed to the contrary in the proxy, the shares represented by the proxies will be voted FOR the election of the nine nominees named above as directors.

  34. BOARD SELECTION AND ELECTION

    BOARD SELECTION AND ELECTION

  35. BOARD COMPOSITION, BOARD REFRESHMENT, AND DIRECTOR TENURE

    BOARD COMPOSITION, BOARD REFRESHMENT, AND DIRECTOR TENURE Aimco is focused on having a well-constructed and high performing board. To that end, the Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee selects nominees for director based on, among other things, breadth and depth of experience, knowledge, skills, expertise, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of Aimco’s business environment, and willingness to devote adequate time and effort to Board responsibilities. In considering nominees for director, the Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee seeks to have a broad range of experience and expertise relevant to Aimco’s business. The Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee places a premium on directors who work well in the collegial and collaborative nature of the Board (which is also consistent with the Aimco culture) and also requires directors who think and act independently and can clearly and effectively communicate their convictions. The Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee assesses the appropriate balance of criteria required of directors and makes recommendations to the Board. The Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee has structured the Board such that there are directors of varying tenures, with new directors and perspectives joining the Board every few years while retaining the institutional memory of longer-tenured directors. Longer-tenured directors, balanced with less-tenured directors, enhance the Board’s oversight capabilities. Aimco’s directors work effectively together, coordinate closely with senior management, comprehend Aimco’s challenges and opportunities, and frame Aimco’s business strategy. When formulating its Board membership recommendations, the Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee also considers advice and recommendations from others, including stockholders, as it deems appropriate. Such recommendations are evaluated based on the same criteria noted above. Recommendations for nominations should be sent to: Apartment Investment and Management Company, 4582 South Ulster Street, Suite 1450, Denver, CO 80237, Attn: Corporate Secretary, Office of the General Counsel, indicating the candidate’s qualifications and other relevant biographical information and providing confirmation of the candidate’s consent to serve as a director, if elected. Stockholders may also nominate qualified individuals for election to our Board by complying with the advance notice and other requirements of our current bylaws regarding director nominations. These requirements are also described under “Stockholders’ Proposals.” The Board is responsible for nominating members for election to the Board and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders. Based on recommendations from the Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee, the Board determined to nominate Messrs. Allen, Leupp, Powell, Stone, Sullivan, and Sykes and Mses. Gibson, Rexroad, and Smith for election to serve a one-year term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting.

  36. MAJORITY VOTING FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

    MAJORITY VOTING FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS In an uncontested election at the meeting of stockholders, any nominee to serve as a director of the Company will be elected if the director receives a majority of votes cast, which means that the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of shares voted “against” that director. With respect to a contested election, a plurality of all the votes cast at the meeting of stockholders will be sufficient to elect a director, meaning that the nine director nominees with the highest number of votes cast for their election will be elected to the Board of Directors (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as votes cast). The following is not considered

    votes cast “for” or “against” a director nominee: (a) a share otherwise present at the meeting but for which there is an abstention; and (b) a share otherwise present at the meeting as to with a stockholder gives no direction. If a nominee who currently is serving as a director receives a Majority Against Vote in an uncontested election, Maryland law provides that the director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” However, under Aimco’s bylaws, any nominee for election as a director in an uncontested election who receives a Majority Against Vote is obligated to tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration following certification of the vote. The Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee will consider any resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept it. The Board is required to take action with respect to the Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee’s recommendation within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote. Additional details are set out in Article II, Section 2.03 (Election and Tenure of Directors; Resignations) of Aimco’s bylaws.

  39. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

    DIRECTOR COMPENSATION In formulating its recommendation for director compensation, the Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee reviews director compensation for independent directors of companies in the real estate industry and companies of comparable market capitalization, revenue, and assets and considers compensation trends for other NYSE-listed companies. The Nominating, Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee

    also considers the size of the Board as compared to other boards, the participation of each independent director on committees, and the resulting workload on the directors.

  46. SUMMARY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

    | What Aimco Does | | Pays for performance. A significant portion of executive pay is not guaranteed, but rather is at risk and tied to key financial and value creation metrics that are set in advance and disclosed to stockholders. All of the incentive compensation (both STI and LTI) for Mr. Powell is subject to the achievement of various performance objectives. For the other NEOs, all STI compensation, and two-thirds of target LTI compensation is subject to the achievement of various performance objectives. | | Balances short-term and long-term incentives. The incentive programs provide a balance of annual and longer-term incentives, with LTI compensation vesting over multiple years comprising a substantial percentage of target total compensation. | | Uses multiple performance metrics. These mitigate the risk of the undue influence of a single metric by utilizing multiple performance measures. Such measures differ for STI and LTI. | | Caps award payouts. Amounts or shares that can be earned under the STI plan and LTI plan are capped. | | Uses market-based approach for determining NEO target pay. Target total compensation for NEOs is generally set near the median for peer comparators. The Committee reviews the peer comparator group annually. | | Maintains stock ownership guidelines and holding periods after vesting until ownership guidelines are met. Aimco has the following minimum equity ownership requirements: CEO – five times base salary; and other executive officers – three times base salary. | | Includes double-trigger change in control provisions. Equity awards include “double trigger” provisions requiring both a change in control and a subsequent termination of employment (other than for cause) for accelerated vesting to occur. | | Uses an independent compensation consulting firm. The Committee engages an independent compensation consulting firm that specializes in the real estate industry. | | Maintains a claw back policy. In the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, the claw back policy provides for the recovery of incentive compensation paid to executives based on the misstated financial information. The policy covers all forms of bonus, incentive, and equity compensation. | | Conducts a risk assessment. The Committee annually conducts a compensation risk assessment to determine whether the compensation policies and practices, or components thereof, create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. | | Acts through an independent Compensation Committee. The Committee consists entirely of independent directors. |

    | What Aimco Does Not Do | | Guarantee salary increases, bonuses or equity grants. The Company does not guarantee annual salary increases or bonuses. The Company makes no guaranteed commitments to grant equity-based awards. | | Provide excise tax gross-up payments. The Company does not have, and will not enter into any contractual arrangements that include excise tax gross-up payments. | | Reprice options. The Company has never repriced the per-share exercise price of any outstanding stock options. Repricing of stock options is not permitted under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) without first obtaining approval from the stockholders of the Company. | | Pay dividends or dividend equivalents on unearned performance shares. Performance share award agreements provide for the payment of dividends only if and after the shares are earned. Dividends, if any, accrue during the performance period and are paid once shares are earned. | | Provide more than minimal personal benefits. The Company does not provide executives with more than minimal perquisites, such as reserved parking spaces. |

    CEO Pay Overview The Committee determines the compensation for the CEO. In setting Mr. Powell’s target total compensation for 2024, the Committee considered, among other things, the Company’s peer group compensation data as discussed below and Mr. Powell’s relevant expertise and experience. For 2024, the Committee set Mr. Powell’s target total compensation near the median for the peer group. The Committee devised a compensation plan for Mr. Powell that resulted in approximately 19% base salary, 29% STI (based entirely on Aimco’s performance against its 2024 corporate goals), and 52% LTI (based entirely on relative TSR). Mr. Powell’s target compensation mix is illustrated as follows: How the Committee determines the amount of target total compensation for the other executive officers In addition to reviewing the performance of, and determining the compensation for, the CEO, the Committee also reviews and approves the decisions made by the CEO as to the compensation of Aimco’s other executive officers. Base salary, target STI, and target LTI are generally set near the median base salary, target STI, and target LTI for peer comparators. How peer comparators are identified The Committee, with the advice of its independent executive compensation consultant, determined to utilize the Company’s identified peer group, such peer group having been used in connection with the Company’s LTI program since 2021, for the purpose of benchmarking compensation. The peer group ranged from 0.17x to 3.25x Aimco’s total capitalization, with Aimco at the 60th percentile, and with Aimco at the 71st and 32nd percentile based on total revenue and gross depreciable property, respectively. Based on this analysis, Aimco included as “peers” for 2024 target compensation the following 13 real estate companies:

    | Aimco’s Compensation Program Discourages Excessive Risk-Taking | | Limits on STI. The compensation of executive officers and other teammates is not overly weighted toward STI. Moreover, STI is capped. | | Use of LTI. LTI is included in target total compensation and typically vests over a period of three years. The vesting period encourages officers to focus on sustaining Aimco’s long-term performance. Executive officers with more responsibility for strategic and operating decisions have a greater percentage of their target total compensation allocated to LTI. LTI is capped at two times target, or 200%, for the CEO, and 1.67 times target, or 167%, for the other NEOs. | | Stock ownership guidelines and required holding periods after vesting. Aimco’s stock ownership guidelines require all executive officers to hold a specified amount of Aimco equity. Any executive officer who has not yet satisfied the stock ownership requirements for his or her position must retain LTI after its vesting until stock ownership requirements are met. These policies ensure each executive officer has a substantial amount of personal wealth tied to long-term holdings in Aimco stock. | | Shared performance metrics across the organization. A portion of STI for the NEOs is based upon Aimco’s performance against its corporate goals, which are reviewed and approved by the Committee. One hundred percent of Mr. Powell’s STI, and 50% of the STI for the other NEOs, is based upon Aimco’s performance against its corporate goals. In addition, having shared performance metrics across the organization reinforces Aimco’s focus on a collegial and collaborative team environment. | | LTI based on TSR. One hundred percent of the Mr. Powell’s LTI, and 67% of the LTI for the other NEOs, is based on relative TSR. | | Multiple performance metrics. Aimco had five corporate goals for 2024. In addition, through Aimco’s performance management program, Managing Aimco Performance, or MAP, which sets and monitors performance objectives for every teammate, each teammate had several different individual performance goals that are set at the beginning of the year and approved by management. Mses. Stanfield and Johnson had an average of six individual goals for 2024. Having multiple performance metrics inherently reduces excessive or unnecessary risk-taking, as incentive compensation is spread among a number of metrics rather than concentrated in a few. |

    2024, then the executive would receive 127.69% of $200,000 ($255,380) for the KPI portion of STI, and if MAP results were 100%, such hypothetical executive would receive 100% of the $200,000, for a total STI payment of $455,380. Aimco’s 2024 KPIs consisted of the following five corporate goals that were reviewed with, and approved by, the Committee, each weighted as described. These goals aligned executive officers with the long-term goals of the Company without encouraging them to take unnecessary and excessive risks. Threshold performance paid out at 50%; target performance paid out at 100%; and maximum performance paid out at 200%. For some goals, where performance was between threshold and target or between target and maximum, the amount of the payout was interpolated.

    Capital Allocation (25% of KPI). The primary objective of this goal was to return capital to stockholders through targeted property sales. For 2024, the range for gross proceeds from property sales was as follows: Threshold,” “Target,” and “Maximum” equated to gross proceeds of $600 million, $700 million, and $800 million, respectively. In 2024, Aimco sourced $724M in capital from properties sold or under binding agreement to sell. During the fourth quarter, we sold The Hamilton, our recently completed redevelopment in Miami, and our partial ownership interest in the 3333 Biscayne Boulevard development site in Miami for a combined $204 million.

Also, during the fourth quarter, we entered into a binding agreement to sell the Brickell Assemblage for $520 million. Portfolio and Financial Management (20% of KPI). The primary objective of this goal was to fulfill the Company’s strategic objectives to achieve rent growth for its stabilized multifamily portfolio based on high levels of resident retention, through superior customer selection and satisfaction, coupled with disciplined innovation resulting in sustained cost control, to maximize NOI margins, and to maintain effective financial management. For 2024, the range for stabilized multifamily portfolio NOI was as follows: “Threshold” equated to achievement of five percent unfavorable to 2024 budgeted NOI; “Target” equated to achievement of 2024 budgeted NOI; and “Maximum” equated to five percent favorable to 2024 budgeted NOI. The range for Adjusted EBITDA was as follows: “Threshold” equated to achievement of ten percent unfavorable to 2024 budgeted Adjusted EBITDA; “Target” equated to achievement of 2024 budgeted Adjusted EBITDA; and “Maximum” equated to ten percent favorable to 2024 budgeted Adjusted EBITDA. Stabilized multifamily portfolio NOI and Adjusted EBITDA were approximately 1.73% and 1.59% above budget, respectively. This resulted in a payout on the Portfolio Management goal of 25.05% for each of the NEOs. Development and Redevelopment Execution (20% of KPI). The primary objective of this goal was to fulfill the Company’s strategic objective of executing development, redevelopment, and lease-up projects pursuant to the Company’s 2024 budget and plan. Large and/or complex projects provided increased weighting toward the total goal weighting of 30%, while smaller scale projects provided lower weighting toward the total goal weighting. Achievement for each project was determined with reference to the 2024 budgeted investment and plan for the project, and was based on the extent to which the project work was completed on time and within budget, as well as, where applicable, the extent to which year-end occupancy and rental rates were consistent with the 2024 budget and plan. In 2024, We completed construction on three multifamily assets, including 933 residential units and more than 100,000 square feet of commercial space. Total direct costs for these projects are now expected to be approximately $10 million lower than our original projection.

Human Capital (10% of KPI). The primary objective of this goal was to fulfill Aimco’s strategic objective of fostering a healthy environment of respect and innovation, empowering our human capital to create value. In 2024, Aimco retained 100% of its officer team and reduced overall voluntary turnover by more than half year-over-year (from 6% voluntary turnover in 2023 to 3% in 2024). Every teammate is surveyed via a third-party,

    confidential survey performed on an annual basis. The team engagement score consists of the average of the responses to the questions that comprise the engagement index, on a scale of 1 to 5, for all teammates who complete the survey during the year. Team engagement for 2024 was 4.69, based on a response rate of 100%. Aimco was recognized as a “Healthiest Employer” by the Denver Business Journal, the South Florida Business Journal, and Healthiest Employers of Greater Washington, D.C., as one of Fortune’s Best Places to Work in Real Estate, and as a “Great Place to Work..” This resulted in a payout on the Human Capital goal of 17.00% for each of the NEOs. Due to Aimco’s overall achievement on each of its 2024 goals, Aimco’s overall KPI performance was 127.69%. Accordingly, each NEO was awarded 127.69% of the portion of his or her target STI attributable to KPI. Various of the key financial indicators we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this Proxy Statement to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, entitled “Glossary and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial and Operating Measures.” Long-Term Incentive Compensation Awards for 2024. Under the 2024 LTI program for executive officers, two forms of LTI awards were granted to NEOs on January 31, 2024, as follows: (1) performance-based restricted stock, which was granted to Mr. Powell and Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, representing 100% of the 2024 LTI award for Mr. Powell and approximately two thirds of the respective 2024 LTI awards for Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, which vests as set forth below; and (2) time-based restricted stock, which was granted to Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, representing one-third of their respective 2024 LTI awards, with one-third of the awards vesting on each anniversary of the grant date subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date. Aimco refers to the performance-based restricted stock as “performance-based LTI awards” because the amount of restricted stock that vests, if any, is determined based on Aimco’s relative TSR performance during a forward looking, three-year performance period, as described in detail below.

    Such metrics apply to the performance-based restricted stock granted to Mr. Powell and Mses. Stanfield and Johnson. The Committee set threshold performance to be earned at 50% of target; target performance to be earned at 100% of target; and maximum performance to be earned at 200% of target. Performance below threshold will result in no amount earned. If performance is between threshold and target or between target and maximum, the amount earned will be interpolated. Performance-based LTI awards vest 100% following the end of the three-year performance period (based on attainment of TSR targets), for a three-year plan from start to

For the purpose of calculating the number of shares of performance-based restricted stock to be granted to Mr. Powell and Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, the dollar amount allocated to restricted stock was divided by $8.88 per share, which represents the per share value based on a Monte Carlo model calculated by a third party financial firm with particular expertise in the valuation of performance-based restricted stock. The share award agreements to which the performance-based restricted shares were granted do not provide for the payment of dividends, if any, until the shares are earned. Dividends, if any, accrue during the performance period. For the purpose of calculating the number of shares of time-based restricted stock to be granted to Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, the dollar amount allocated to restricted stock was divided by $7.62, which the average closing trading price of Aimco’s Common Stock for the five-day trading period up to and including the date of the grant. NEO Compensation for 2024 CEO Compensation. The Committee determined Mr. Powell’s STI for 2024 would be based entirely on Aimco’s performance against corporate goals, described above. The Committee calculated Mr. Powell’s STI by multiplying his STI target of $1,050,000 by 127.69%, which was the Committee’s payout determination having reviewed Aimco’s overall performance against corporate goals, as described in detail above. The Committee granted Mr. Powell’s LTI in the form of restricted stock on January 31, 2024, for the three-year performance period from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026; the LTI grant is entirely at risk, based on relative total stockholder returns over the performance period.

    Determination Regarding 2022 Performance Share Awards. As part of the 2022 LTI program, the Company granted performance-share awards that might be earned based on relative TSR as compared to the Russell 2000 Value Index (one-third weighting), FTSE Nareit Equity Apartments Index (one-third weighting), and Aimco’s identified peer group (one-third weighting) over a three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024, with awards vesting 100% following the end of the three-year performance period (based on attainment of TSR targets), subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date, for a three-year plan from start to finish. On January 28, 2025, the Committee determined that Aimco’s three-year TSR was approximately 100 basis points lower than the Russell 2000 Value Index, approximately 2,000 basis points higher than the FTSE Nareit Equity Apartments Index, and at the 92nd percentile of the identified peer group for the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2024, resulting in the number of shares for the performance-vesting awards being earned between target and maximum level of performance, or 160.42% of target, for each of the NEOs.

The vesting and exercise of any equity awards held by Mr. Powell at the time of his death or disability would be determined in accordance with the applicable incentive plan and award agreement. In the event that any payment or benefit payable to Mr. Powell under the 2021 Employment Agreement would result in the imposition of excise taxes under the “golden parachute” provisions of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then such payments and benefits will either be made and/or provided in full or will be reduced such that the excise tax under Section 280G is not applicable, whichever is least economically disadvantageous to Mr. Powell. The 2021 Employment Agreement does not provide for any excise tax or other tax “gross-up” payment. All severance payments and benefits under the 2021 Employment Agreement are subject to applicable withholding obligations, Mr. Powell’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, and compliance with certain non-competition, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation covenants. Neither Ms. Stanfield nor Ms. Johnson has an employment agreement with the Company. Executive Severance Arrangements Aimco has an executive severance policy that provides that Aimco shall seek stockholder approval or ratification of any future severance agreement for any senior executive officer that provides for benefits, such as lump-sum or future periodic cash payments or new equity awards, in an amount in excess of 2.99 times such executive officer’s base salary and bonus. Compensation and benefits earned through the termination date, the value of vesting or payment of any equity awards outstanding prior to the termination date, pro rata vesting of any other long-term awards, or benefits provided under plans, programs or arrangements that are applicable to one or more groups of employees in addition to senior executives are not subject to the policy. It has been Aimco’s longstanding practice not to provide excessive severance arrangements.

  73. POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

    Executive Severance Policy. On February 22, 2018, the Committee adopted the Apartment Investment and Management Company Executive Severance Policy (the “Executive Severance Policy”). The Executive Severance Policy superseded and replaced any employment agreement or other plan, policy or practice involving the payment of severance benefits to participants under the Executive Severance Policy. On April 28, 2021, the Committee amended the Executive Severance Policy in accordance with recommendations provided by the Committee’s compensation consultant to bring the policy in line with market. On October 27, 2021, the Committee amended the Executive Severance Policy to remove severance provisions for the Chief Executive Officer in connection with the Committee’s approval of an employment agreement for Mr. Powell that includes severance provisions that are consistent with the severance to which he may otherwise become entitled under the Executive Severance Policy. The Company’s Executive Vice Presidents, as determined on the records of the Company and any other entities through which the operations of the Company are conducted, are eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Policy. Each of Mses. Stanfield and Johnson are participants under the Executive Severance Policy. The Executive Severance Policy provides that if the Company terminates a participant’s employment without “Cause,” or if the participant terminates his or her employment for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Executive Severance Policy), then the participant will be eligible to receive the following benefits:

  74. POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

    | • | a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) the annual base salary for the calendar year of the date of termination, and (ii) the target annual bonus for the calendar year of the date of termination; |

  75. POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

    | • | a pro-rata portion of the short-term incentive bonus the participant would have earned for the year in which the termination occurs, based on the actual achievement of the applicable performance targets; and |

  77. POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

    The vesting and exercise of any equity awards held by a participant on the date of termination will be determined in accordance with the applicable incentive plan and award agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Executive Severance Policy, if the Company terminates a participant’s employment without Cause, or if the participant terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, in either case, within the period commencing six months prior to and ending 24 months following a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Executive Severance Policy), then in lieu of the severance benefits described above the participant will be eligible to receive the following benefits:

  78. POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

    | • | a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of (i) the annual base salary for the calendar year of the date of termination, and (ii) the target annual bonus for the calendar year of the date of termination; |

  82. POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

    The Executive Severance Policy provides that if the employment of the participant is terminated by reason of the participant’s death or disability, then the participant will be eligible to receive a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination. In addition, the vesting and exercise of any equity awards held by the participant at the time of his or her death or disability will be determined in accordance with the applicable incentive plan and award agreement.

  84. POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYMENT AND SEVERANCE ARRANGEMENTS

    In the event that any payment or benefit payable to a participant under the Executive Severance Policy would result in the imposition of excise taxes under the “golden parachute” provisions of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then such payments and benefits will either be made and/or provided in full or will be reduced such that the excise tax under Section 280G is not applicable, whichever is least economically disadvantageous to the participant. The Executive Severance Policy does not provide for any excise tax or other tax “gross-up” payment. All severance payments and benefits under the Executive Severance Policy are subject to applicable withholding obligations, the participant’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, and compliance with certain non-competition, non-disclosure and non-solicitation covenants set forth in a restrictive covenant agreement that is appropriate for the participant’s position. The Executive Severance Policy will remain in effect, subject to amendment, until terminated by the Board. The Board may terminate or amend the Executive Severance Policy at any time, so long as at least 90 days’ prior notice is provided to any participant if the termination or amendment of the Executive Severance Policy would materially or adversely affect the rights of the participant. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreements Effective in connection with their promotions by Aimco for Mr. Powell and Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, Aimco entered into certain non-competition and non-solicitation agreements with each executive. Mr. Powell’s non-competition and non-solicitation agreement was replaced by his 2021 Employment Agreement. Pursuant to these agreements, each of these NEOs agreed that during the term of his or her employment with the Company and for a period of two years following the termination of his or her employment without “Cause” (as defined in the non-competition and non-solicitation agreement), except in circumstances where there was a change in control of the Company, he or she would not (i) be employed by a competitor of the Company described on a schedule to the agreement, (ii) solicit other employees to leave the Company’s employment, or (iii) solicit customers of Aimco to terminate their relationship with the Company. The agreements further require that the NEOs protect Aimco’s trade secrets and confidential information. For Mr. Powell, the non-solicitation requirement survives a change in control of the Company. For Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, the agreements provide that in order to enforce the above-noted non-competition condition following the executive’s termination of employment by the Company without cause, the executive will receive, for a period not to extend beyond the earlier of 24 months following such termination or the date of acceptance of employment with a non-competitor, (i) non-compete payments in an amount, if any, to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion and (ii) a monthly payment equal to two-thirds of such executive’s monthly base salary at the time of termination. For purposes of these agreements, “cause” is defined to mean, among other things, the executive’s (i) breach of the agreement, (ii) failure to perform required employment services, (iii) misappropriation of Company funds or property, (iv) conviction, plea of guilty, or plea of no contest to a crime involving fraud or moral turpitude, or (v) negligence, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, misconduct or violation of law. Equity Award Agreements Double Trigger Vesting Upon Change in Control. The award agreements pursuant to which restricted stock, stock option, and/or LTIP Unit awards have been granted to Mr. Powell and Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, as applicable, provide that if (i) a change in control occurs and (ii) the executive’s employment with the Company is terminated either by the Company without “Cause” or by the executive for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the equity award agreement), in either case, within the period commencing six months prior to and ending

    24 months following a change in control, then (a) for time-based restricted stock and/or LTIP Unit awards, all outstanding shares of restricted stock and LTIP Units shall become immediately and fully vested, and (b) for performance-based restricted stock, stock options, and/or LTIP Unit awards, all outstanding shares of restricted stock, stock options, and/or LTIP Units shall become immediately and fully vested based on the higher of actual or target performance through the truncated performance period ending on the date of the change in control, except with regard to 2024 performance-based awards, which shall become immediately and fully vested based on target performance, and all vested stock options will remain exercisable for the remainder of the term of the option. Accelerated Vesting Upon Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability. The award agreements pursuant to which restricted stock, stock option, and/or LTIP Unit awards have been granted to Mr. Powell and Mses. Stanfield and Johnson, as applicable, provide that upon a termination of employment due to death or disability, then (a) for time-based restricted stock and/or LTIP Unit awards, all outstanding shares of restricted stock and LTIP Units shall become immediately and fully vested, and (b) for performance-based restricted stock, stock option, and/or LTIP Unit awards, all outstanding shares of restricted stock, stock options, and/or LTIP Units shall become immediately and fully vested based on the higher of actual or target performance through the truncated performance period ending on the date of termination, and all vested stock options will remain exercisable for the remainder of the term of the option.

  87. ROLE OF OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS

    ROLE OF OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS The Committee has the authority under its charter to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others to assist the Committee. The Committee engaged Willis Towers Watson to advise the Committee regarding Aimco’s 2024 executive compensation plan. Willis Towers Watson did not provide other services to Aimco. The Committee assessed the independence of Willis Towers Watson pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that Willis Towers Watson is independent. In connection with the 2024 executive compensation plan, the Committee directed Willis Towers Watson to: (i) perform studies of competitive compensation practices; (ii) develop conclusions and recommendations regarding Aimco’s executive compensation plans for consideration by the Committee; (iii) identify an executive compensation peer group; (iv) perform a benchmarking analysis of the base salary, STI, and LTI of the NEOs relative to competitive practices; (v) advise the Committee regarding stock ownership guidelines for the NEOs; and (vi) perform an assessment of the risks contained in Aimco’s incentive compensation plans. In July 2024, the Committee appointed Ferguson to serve as the Committee’s compensation consultant, replacing Willis Towers Watson. The Committee assessed the independence of Ferguson pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that Ferguson is independent.

  88. BASE SALARY, INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, AND EQUITY GRANT PRACTICES

    BASE SALARY, INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, AND EQUITY GRANT PRACTICES Base salary adjustments typically take effect on January 1. The Committee determines incentive compensation in late January or early February. STI is typically paid in February or March. LTI is granted on a date determined by the Committee, typically in late January or early February. Aimco grants equity in three scenarios: in connection with its annual incentive compensation program as discussed above; in connection with certain new-hire or promotion packages; and for purposes of retention. With respect to LTI, the Committee sets the grant date for the restricted stock, stock option, and LTIP Unit grants. The Committee typically sets grant dates at the time of its final compensation determination, generally in late January or early February. The date of determination and date of award are not selected based on share price. In the case of new-hire packages that include equity awards, grants are made on the executive’s start date or on a date designated in advance based on the passage of a specific number of days after the executive’s start date. For non-executive officers, as provided for in the 2015 Plan, the Committee has delegated the authority to make equity awards, up to certain limits, to the Chief Financial Officer (Ms. Stanfield) and/or Corporate Secretary (Ms. Johnson). The Committee and Mses. Stanfield and Johnson time grants without regard to the share price or the timing of the release of material non-public information and do not time grants for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. In the event that material nonpublic information becomes known to the Committee or Mses. Stanfield and Johnson before granting an equity award, the Committee or Mses. Stanfield and Johnson will consider such information and use its business judgment to determine whether to delay the grant of equity to avoid any appearance of impropriety. During fiscal year 2024, we did not grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar option-like instruments to our NEOs during the four business days prior to or the one business day following the filing of our periodic reports or the filing or furnishing of a Form 8-K that discloses material nonpublic information.

  90. 2025 COMPENSATION TARGETS

    2025 COMPENSATION TARGETS Based on comparison to compensation paid to CEOs at Aimco’s peers, the Committee set Mr. Powell’s target total compensation (base compensation, STI and LTI) for 2025 at approximately $3.98 million, which approximated the peer median. The Committee set target total compensation (base compensation, STI and LTI) for 2025 for the other NEOs as follows: Ms. Stanfield — approximately $1.99 million; and Ms. Johnson — approximately $1.43 million. Aimco performance will determine the amounts paid for 2025 STI and the portion of LTI awards that vest, and such amounts may be less than, or in excess of, these target amounts. STI will continue to be paid in cash. The LTI was granted on January 28, 2025, and was in the form of time- and performance-vesting restricted stock.

  133. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    qualifying termination of employment that occurs within a period commencing six months prior to and ending 24 months following a change in control. The terms of these arrangements are described under “CD&A — Post-Employment Compensation and Employment and Severance Arrangements — Executive Employment Arrangements, Executive Severance Arrangements, and Equity Award Agreements” above. In the table that follows, potential payments and other benefits payable upon termination of employment and change in control situations are set out as if the conditions for payments had occurred and/or the terminations took place on December 31, 2024. In setting out such payments and benefits, amounts that had already been earned as of the termination date, including 2024 STI, which would have been earned as of the termination date but not yet paid, are not shown. Also, benefits that are available to all full-time regular employees when their employment terminates are not shown. The amounts set forth below are estimates of the amounts that could be paid out to the NEOs upon their termination. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such NEOs’ separation from Aimco. The following table summarizes the potential payments under various scenarios if they had occurred on December 31, 2024.

  141. Pay Versus Performance

    Pay Versus Performance As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for the fiscal years listed below. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our NEOs, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the Summary Compensation Table. The term “compensation actually paid” in this Pay versus Performance section refers to Compensation Actually Paid calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K and does not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the NEOs. The table below summarizes compensation values both previously reported in our Summary Compensation Table, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for the fiscal years listed below. Note that compensation for our NEOs other than our principal executive officers (“PEOs”) is reported as an average.

    | (a) The NEOs have not been provided with opportunities to participate in defined benefit and actuarial pension plans sponsored by us in any applicable years. In addition, no applicable NEO awards that were granted in a given fiscal year vested in such fiscal year or were forfeited. Therefore, no adjustments were needed for such items. |

  150. Pay Versus Performance

    | (4) Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” columns was determined by reference to (i) for solely time-vested restricted stock and LTIP Unit awards, the closing price per share on the applicable year-end date(s) or, in the case of vesting dates, the closing price per share on the applicable vesting date(s); and (ii) for market-based performance restricted stock, stock option, and LTIP Unit awards, the probable outcome of the performance condition to which such awards are subject calculated by a third-party consultant using a Monte Carlo valuation model in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 as of the applicable year-end date(s). For additional information on the assumptions used to calculate the valuation of the awards, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Annual Report and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for prior fiscal years. |
