Since the Company’s IPO in 1992, the members of the Taubman family have been the largest owner of TRG, the Company’s operating partnership.  The members of the Taubman family has long maintained an economic ownership interest of approximately 30 percent and equivalent voting power and has rarely sold any of the Company’s stock, except very occasionally in de minimis amounts and generally in connection with compensation related grants, ensuring the alignment of its interests with those of all other Taubman shareholders.

•

The pledged shares are not used to shift or hedge any economic risk in owning interests in the Company or the operating partnership. These shares collateralize loans used to fund outside personal business ventures. If affiliated entities of Robert Taubman and William Taubman had been unable to pledge these securities, they may have been forced to sell a portion of them in order to obtain the necessary funds.

•	The pledged securities represent 2.9% of the Company's outstanding voting shares as of April 3, 2017, and therefore, do not present any appreciable risk for investors or the Company.

•	The pledges represent only 10% of the Company's voting stock beneficially owned by affiliated entities of Robert Taubman and William Taubman. Excluding the pledged shares, each person still substantially exceeds our stock ownership guidelines.

•

In accordance with the Insider Trading Policy, such persons have the financial capacity to repay their outstanding loans without resorting to the pledged securities. In the unlikely event such a sale were necessary, based on the 30-day average trading volume for shares of the Company common stock as of April 3, 2017, it would take 5 days for the pledged securities to be sold in the open market. Furthermore, their unpledged ownership is very substantial and would likely be able to prevent any margin call.

---

•

We have an active shareowner engagement program in which we meet regularly with our largest shareowners and, if raised, discussed any pledging concerns. Specifically, such active shareholder engagement by management and, as appropriate, the Lead Director/Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee included outreach to shareholders whose ownership at December 31, 2016 represented 63% of the total common shares outstanding (excluding the Taubman family).

(4)	For Messrs. R. Taubman and W. Taubman, $71,902 and $65,078, respectively, was reported in the Summary Compensation Table from 2006 through 2013 as compensation, in aggregate, all of which related to the Company's contributions to the supplemental retirement savings plan.

•	accrued and unpaid compensation and benefits; and

Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan.    If such participant's employment is terminated for any reason, upon the occurrence of specified events (including a change of control of TRG, the dissolution of TRG or the termination (without renewal) of the Manager's services agreement with TRG), or the Company accelerates such payment as of December 31, 2016, then the participant would receive the aggregate balance amount relating to the plan as set forth in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2016” table.

•

Robert Taubman's Deferral of TRG Units.    If Mr. Taubman's employment is terminated for any reason as of December 31, 2016, the Deferred TRG units will be paid to Mr. Taubman in ten annual installments. If Mr. Taubman's employment is terminated within six months of a change of control, then the Deferred TRG units will be paid to Mr. Taubman in a single distribution. The aggregate balance amount relating to this deferral arrangement is set forth in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in 2016” table.

•	The 1992 Option Plan and 2008 Omnibus Plan provide for the acceleration of vesting of share-based awards upon retirement, death, disability, layoff in connection to a reduction in force or a change of control. The closing price of the Company's common stock on December 30, 2016 was $73.93. The table reflects the intrinsic value of such acceleration, which is:

•	for each unvested RSU or Restricted TRG Profits Units, $73.93; and

•

for each PSU or Profits Units, in the case of death, disability, layoff in connection to a reduction in force (or retirement, for the annual PSU grants) or in the case of a change of control, $73.93 multiplied by 1x for each 2016 Relative TSR & NOI TRG Profit Unit and $73.93 multiplied by 1.44x per PSU for the 2015 annual PSU awards (the estimated multiplier as of December 31, 2016 for such awards). The annual PSU awards for 2014 had an actual 0.62x payout in March 2017 and the 2012 special PSU awards had an actual 0x payout in March 2017.

•	The Committee has discretion to accelerate the vesting of RSU, PSU and Profits Units awards to the extent not expressly set forth above. The table assumes the Committee does not utilize such discretion.

•	The table does not reflect the intrinsic value of vested options, which is set forth in “Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2016".

•	For a termination following a change of control, the table below assumes such termination is other than for cause, death or disability, or due to the executive resigning for good reason, or upon certain terminations in connection with or in anticipation of a change of control.

•	None of the NEOs are eligible for retirement and therefore termination due to retirement is not included in the table below.

•	Life insurance amounts only reflect policies paid for by the Company.

•	The table assumes a “disability” is of a long-term nature, which triggers vesting of share-based awards. Disability payments are shown on an annual basis.

(1)	For Mr. Leopold, amount includes the value of continuing health benefits for 30 months after December 31, 2016 (using 2017 Cobra Rates) and outplacement services for one year after December 31, 2016.
