Jeffrey Olson has notable holdings with Urban Edge Properties. In 2023, he had 106,613 LTIP units vest, translating to around $1.66 million based on average pricing. His compensation tends to lean heavily on performance metrics, which means his wealth isn't just sitting; it's tied to how well the company does. As of recently, he controls a significant amount of equity, having received substantial stock grants like 145,284 LTIP units in 2023 that will vest gradually. This pattern of stock awards shows his commitment to the company, as he opts for more ownership rather than a one-time cash bonus. The interesting part? Last year, he had most of his wealth tied up in LTIP units, demonstrating that he has been putting his money where his mouth is, literally betting on Urban Edge's future success.
