Establishment of 2006 Base Salary Amounts and 2005 Annual Incentive Bonuses

 

On February 3, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Health Care Property Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the annual base salary rates for certain of the Company’s named executive officers, with the new rates effective as of January 1, 2006.  The new annual base salary rates for Paul F. Gallagher, Executive Vice President - Portfolio Strategy, Edward J. Henning, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Talya Nevo-Hacohen, Senior Vice President - Strategic Development and Treasurer, and Mark A. Wallace, Senior Vice President - Chief Financial Officer, are $330,000, $265,000, $250,000, and $275,000, respectively.

 

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved annual incentive bonuses for the 2005 fiscal year for the Company’s named executive officers, based upon multiple performance criteria, including subjective evaluations of personal job performance and performance measured against objective business criteria.  The 2005 annual cash incentive bonus amounts for the Company’s named executive officers are as follows:  James F. Flaherty III, President and Chief Executive Officer, $0 (see the restricted stock unit discussion below), Charles A. Elcan, Executive Vice President - Medical Office Properties, $487,000, Mr. Gallagher, $553,000, Mr. Henning, $373,000, Stephen R. Maulbetsch, Senior Vice President - Acquisitions and Dispositions, $437,000, Ms. Nevo-Hacohen, $343,000, and Mr. Wallace, $418,000.

 

On February 3, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of 57,230 performance-based Restricted Stock Units to Mr. Flaherty in lieu of a cash bonus for 2005 performance.  The Restricted Stock Units are subject in whole or in part to forfeiture in the event the Company does not reach specified targets for funds from operations per share during fiscal 2006.  Those Restricted Stock Units that are not forfeited vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued employment by Mr. Flaherty through that date and subject to accelerated vesting in connection with certain terminations of employment in accordance with Mr. Flaherty’s employment agreement with the Company.
