(e) On June 29, 2011, Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) and its president and chief executive officer, Laurence S. Geller, entered into the Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc. Value Creation Plan Normal Unit Distributions Deferral Election and Deferral Program (the “Deferral Program”). Pursuant to the Deferral Program, Mr. Geller elected to defer up to 50% of the “Normal Unit Distributions” (as such term is defined in the Company’s Value Creation Plan) that may be paid pursuant to the Company’s Value Creation Plan currently contemplated to be paid in cash within 30 days after the end of each 2012 calendar quarter and to have such Normal Unit Distributions instead be converted into stock units (the “Stock Units”) on the basis of the fair market value of a share of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) at the time the Normal Unit Distributions would otherwise have been paid. Each Stock Unit under the Deferral Program will be converted on a one-for-one basis into a share of Common Stock on January 2, 2014 or if earlier, upon a change of control of the Company or the first business day of the calendar month following six months after Mr. Geller’s termination of employment. The Deferral Program is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Deferral Program is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Deferral Program.
