In connection with Mr. Paes’s departure, on July 1, 2025, the Company, Paramount Group Management LP and Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”) (collectively, the “Company Group”) and Mr. Paes executed a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, and consistent with the terms of the second amended and restated employment agreement dated March 10, 2025 between the Company Group and Mr. Paes (the “Employment Agreement”), Mr. Paes will receive a single lump sum payment, less applicable tax-related deductions and withholdings, consisting of (i) a payment of $2,050,000 (representing one year of base salary plus an amount equal to the average of the annual incentive compensation paid to Mr. Paes in the last three fiscal years), (ii) a payment equal to his pro-rata annual incentive compensation for 2025 of $371,712, and (iii) a health care payment of $73,011.
In addition, Mr. Paes’s units in the Operating Partnership consisting of (i) 817,187 service-based long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”), (ii) 227,825 service-based appreciation only LTIP Units (“AOLTIP Units”), and (iii) 40,525 performance-based LTIP units that are earned but still subject to service-based vesting conditions have vested or will vest in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement or the Separation Agreement, as applicable.
Mr. Paes will also remain eligible to earn a pro-rata portion of 450,282 performance-based LTIP Units and 1,621,973 performance-based AOLTIP Units subject to the attainment of performance vesting conditions at the end of the applicable performance period.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Paes will remain subject to certain restrictive covenants, including non-solicitation, non-interference, and non-competition covenants. Additionally, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Paes and the Company Group have agreed to a general release of claims.
The summary of the Separation Agreement set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
