On December 22, 2020, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the grant under the Amended and Restated Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P., 2013 Incentive Award Plan to Messrs. Schwimmer, Frankel and Lanzer and Ms. Clark (collectively, the “executives”) of LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership (“LTIP Units”) and Performance Units (collectively, the “awards”). The following is a brief description of the material terms and conditions of the awards.

The table below sets forth the number of time-based LTIP Units awarded to each of the executives.

Pursuant to their respective OPP Performance Unit Agreements, each executive has been awarded a number of Performance Units equal to the number of Performance Units that would vest upon attainment of the “maximum” level described below; however, Performance Units will vest only in a number of units that corresponds to the attainment of the performance outcomes set forth in the table below.

In connection with the grants of the awards described above, the Committee also adopted new performance ranges to determine the vesting of the Performance Units.
