Director Elections
Election of Two Class II Directors
Ms. DeFlorio joined the board in 2024 (within the 24-month exemption window), has relevant investment banking and public company board experience, chairs the Audit Committee with disclosed financial expertise, and no overboarding or attendance issues are present.
Mr. Sholem joined the board in 2024 (within the 24-month exemption window), brings decades of real estate private equity experience, and no overboarding or attendance issues are present.
Both Class II director nominees joined the board in September 2024, placing them within the 24-month new-director exemption from the TSR underperformance trigger. The stock performance TSR check does not apply. Both nominees have strong, relevant qualifications and no independence, attendance, or overboarding concerns. The board also benefits from a sunset provision that will fully declassify it at the 2027 annual meeting.

Prior Support
N/A
CEO David R. Lukes received total reported compensation of approximately $3.28 million in 2025, which is modest relative to benchmark expectations for a CEO of a $2.7 billion market cap equity REIT, well within the policy's acceptable range. The compensation structure is strongly performance-oriented: the company states that 98% of the CEO's target annualized pay is variable or at-risk, with only $50,000 in fixed base salary, and the remainder tied to company stock performance, service vesting, and performance metrics including relative total shareholder return. The company outperformed its equity REIT benchmark (^FNER — FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index) by approximately 22.9 percentage points over the relevant period, supporting alignment between above-benchmark incentive pay and actual shareholder outcomes; a meaningful clawback policy is also in place as required by NYSE listing standards.

Non-Audit Fees
N/A
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is a Big 4 firm appropriate for a $2.7 billion market cap REIT. The proxy does not disclose auditor fee data or tenure in the text provided, so neither the non-audit fee ratio trigger nor the tenure trigger can be confirmed; per policy, the tenure trigger requires confirmed data to fire, and the fee trigger likewise cannot be assessed without disclosed figures — the default FOR vote applies.
Overall Assessment
The 2026 Curbline Properties annual meeting presents a straightforward ballot: both Class II director nominees are recently appointed (exempt from the TSR trigger), the CEO's pay is modest and heavily performance-linked against a backdrop of strong stock outperformance versus the ^FNER equity REIT benchmark, and PwC is an appropriate Big 4 auditor for the company's size. No stockholder-submitted proposals appear on this ballot, and no significant governance concerns were identified across any proposal.
