Our board of directors, in its business judgment, has determined that each of these members is “financially literate” under the rules of the NYSE.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

The framework for the compensation set forth in the 2013 Summary Compensation Table was established pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreements that we entered into, effective as of January 30, 2013, with each of our named executive officers in connection with our initial public offering.

Employment Agreements

Effective upon the completion of our initial public offering, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with each of Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs. The employment agreements have an initial term expiring on the third anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement. Each employment agreement provides for automatic one-year extensions after the expiration of the initial term, unless either party provides the other with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of non-renewal. The employment agreements require each named executive officer to dedicate his full business time and attention to the affairs of our company.

The employment agreements provide for, among other things:

•

an annual base salary of $410,000, $400,000 and $400,000, respectively, for Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs;

•

eligibility for annual cash performance bonuses equal to a target bonus based on the satisfaction of performance goals to be established by the compensation committee;

•

participation in the 2013 LTIP and any subsequent equity incentive plans approved by our board of directors; and

•

participation in any employee benefit plans and programs that are maintained from time to time for our other senior executive officers, including life insurance coverage with an aggregate death benefit equal to $3 million.

Pursuant to the employment agreements, each of Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs received a one-time cash bonus equal to $100,000 paid in February 2013 after the completion of our initial public offering.

Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs each received an annual cash bonus as disclosed in the table above under our non-equity incentive compensation plan (the “Bonus Plan”). Under the Bonus Plan, each named executive officer was eligible to receive a cash bonus of up to 100% of his base salary based on our achievement of a pre-established consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Under the Bonus Plan, achievement of the threshold goal (75% of the EBITDA goal) would result in a cash bonus equal to 50% of the named executive officer’s base salary; achievement of the target goal (100% of the EBITDA goal) would result in a cash bonus equal to 75% of the named executive officer’s base salary and achievement of the maximum goal (125% of the EBITDA goal) would result in a cash bonus equal to 100% of the named executive officer’s base salary, with achievement between the threshold, target and maximum levels resulting in payments calculated on a linear one to one increase or decrease. For fiscal year 2013, the EBITDA goal was $21.7 million. Actual EBITDA for fiscal year 2013 was approximately $31.1 million, or approximately 143% of the EBITDA goal. Therefore, we determined that the maximum goal was achieved, resulting in each named executive officer receiving a cash bonus equal to 100% of his base salary.

The employment agreements contain customary non-competition provisions that apply until September 24, 2015 and non-solicitation provisions that apply during the term of the agreements and for two years after the termination of their employment if their employment is terminated by us for “cause” (as defined in the employment agreements) or if they terminate their employment without “good reason” (as defined in the employment agreements) or one year after the termination of their employment if we terminate their employment without cause of if they terminate their employment for good reason or due to disability. The employment agreements also contain standard confidentiality provisions that apply during the term of the agreements and for three years after the termination of their employment.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, each of our named executive officers has agreed that, for a period of 36 months following the completion of our initial public offering, during any calendar quarter, he will not sell shares of our common stock in an amount exceeding the greater of (i) 10% of the shares of our common stock owned by him on the date of the completion of our initial public offering and (ii) the percentage of shares of our common stock that has been sold or otherwise disposed of by the Starwood Fund during such calendar quarter.

We may terminate the employment of a named executive officer at any time with or without cause, and the executive may terminate his employment with or without good reason. If we terminate a named executive officer’s employment for cause, or if the named executive officer resigns without good reason, the named executive officer will be entitled to receive any earned but unpaid annual base salary, any earned but unpaid prior-year bonus, reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, accrued vacation and any other paid-time-off and any benefits that have been earned and accrued prior to the date of termination. In addition, any outstanding awards granted to the named executive officer under the 2013 LTIP or any subsequent equity incentive plan approved by our board of directors will vest, terminate or become exercisable, as the case may be, in accordance with their terms.

•

in each case, the named executive officer will be entitled to receive any earned but unpaid annual base salary, any earned but unpaid prior-year bonus, reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, accrued vacation and any other paid-time-off and any benefits that have been earned and accrued prior to the date of termination;

•

in each case, we shall reimburse the COBRA premium under our health and dental plans; and

•

if the termination is not due to disability or death, the named executive officer will be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the named executive officer’s 12 months’ annual base salary, plus (ii) the average actual bonus earned by the named executive officer during the two previous calendar years; provided that, for Mr. Bauer, such sum shall be multiplied by 1.5.

Outstanding Equity Awards as of December 31, 2013

The following table provides information regarding the equity awards held by our named executive officers as of December 31, 2013.

(1)

In fiscal 2013, each of Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs were granted options to purchase 94,067 shares of our common stock (with a strike price equal to $17.00 per share), which options will vest in equal annual installments over three years on each anniversary of January 30, 2013, and which options will expire in ten years.

(2)

Includes 20,588 restricted stock units granted in 2013 to each of Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs which vest in equal annual installments over three years on each anniversary of January 30, 2013. Once vested, the restricted stock units will be settled for an equal number of shares of our common stock. Also includes 352,018 shares of unvested common stock that was issued to each of Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs pursuant to the senior officer employment and equity agreements that our named executive officers entered into with TPH LLC and upon their entry into the operating agreement of TPH LLC on September 24, 2010. Each of our named executive officers was issued an aggregate of 66 2/3 incentive units in TPH LLC. As incentive unit holders, our named executive officers had the right to receive certain distributions, if any, from TPH LLC following distributions by TPH LLC to the common members of TPH LLC of all of their prior capital contributions plus a specified return on such capital contributions. The members of TPH LLC, including our named executive officers (in their capacities as common unit members and incentive unit holders), received an aggregate of 21,597,907 shares of our common stock in connection with the conversion of their membership interests in TPH LLC with Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs each being allocated 1,148,050, 1,148,050 and 990,475 shares, respectively. The vesting terms of the incentive units was as follows: (i) 18.75% of such units vested, subject to limitation in (iii) below, on the date following the first-year anniversary of the date of such officer’s senior officer employment and equity agreement; (ii) 56.25% of such units vest, subject to limitation in (iii) below, in equal quarterly installments between the first and fourth-year anniversary of the date of such officer’s senior officer employment and equity agreement; (iii) 25% of the awards granted in (i) and (ii) will vest upon a liquidity event as defined below and (iv) 25% of such units to be converted into a number of shares of restricted stock prior to the completion of our initial public offering. Such shares of restricted stock will vest upon a liquidity event as defined as the earlier of (A) the Starwood Fund or its affiliates selling 75% or more of the shares of our common stock to non-affiliates, (B) the Starwood Fund or its affiliates owning less than 25% of our total common stock

outstanding, (C) our dissolution and (D) (x) subject to certain vesting limitations provided in the employment agreement of our executive officers, the sale by the Starwood Fund or its affiliates of 25% or more of their shares of our common stock to non-affiliates or (y) the disposition of substantially all of our assets to non-affiliates; provided that Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs have entered into a lock-up agreement with the Starwood Fund with respect to these shares of restricted stock that will modify certain of these vesting requirements upon the consummation of the WRECO Transactions (see Part III, Item 13 “Conflicts of Interest”). The consummation of the WRECO Transactions will constitute a liquidity event.

Director Compensation

Our board of directors maintains the following compensation program for our non-employee directors:

•

an annual retainer of $60,000, at least half of which is in the form of restricted stock units (priced based upon the closing price on the date of grant) or options (priced based upon a Black-Scholes valuation), in the discretion of the directors, with such restricted stock units and/or options vesting on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant; directors may elect to receive more than 50% of their annual retainer in restricted stock units and/or options;

•

an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000 to the chair of the audit committee and an additional cash retainer of $2,500 for the other members of the audit committee;

•

an additional annual cash retainer of $2,500 to the chair of the compensation committee and an additional cash retainer of $1,250 for the other members of such committee;

•

an additional annual cash retainer of $2,500 to the chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee and an additional cash retainer of $1,250 for the other members of such committee; and

•

$500 for each meeting attended (although if more than one meeting occurs on one day, directors will receive only $500).

In addition, any non-employee director elected or appointed to our board of directors for the first time following the completion of our initial public offering will receive an initial grant of $40,000 of restricted stock units, which restricted stock units will vest in equal installments annually over three years. Once vested, the restricted stock units will be settled for an equal number of shares of our common stock.

We reimburses our non-employee directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors, including, without limitation, travel expenses in connection with their attendance in-person at board and committee meetings. Directors who are employees do not receive any compensation for their services as directors.

Mr. Barry Sternlicht, the chairman of our board, and Mr. J. Marc Perrin, a member of our board, each waived receipt of the initial grant of restricted stock units referenced above; however, because Mr. Perrin left his position at the Starwood Fund prior to August 1, 2013, our board of directors granted him a retainer of $60,000 in the form of restricted stock units prorated for service from August 1, 2013. In addition, for as long as the Starwood Fund beneficially owns shares of our common stock, Mr. Sternlicht shall waive any directors’ fees and grants that would otherwise be payable or made, as the case may be, to him in connection with his service on our board of directors. In the event that the Starwood Fund ceases to beneficially own any shares of our common stock, Mr. Sternlicht may elect to receive such fees and grants on a prospective basis.

In November 2013, our board of directors approved the payment of $25,000 in the form of restricted stock units to Mr. Steven Gilbert for services as lead independent director.

Our board of directors has approved the following compensation for directors for 2014: (i) an annual cash retainer of $35,000 and a restricted stock unit award of $65,000 (based upon the closing price on the date of grant); (ii) cash retainers of $7,500, $5,000, and $5,000 for service on the audit, compensation, and nominating

and corporate governance committees, respectively; and (iii) cash retainers of $15,000, $7,500, and $7,500 for service as chair of the audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees, respectively. In addition, the lead independent director receives an annual cash retainer of $25,000.

Director Stock Ownership Requirement

Each of our independent directors is required, within three years of becoming a member of our board of directors, to own shares of our common stock equal to three times the annual retainer payable to our independent directors by the director’s third anniversary of joining our board of directors.

The following table sets forth the total cash and equity compensation paid to our non-employee directors for their service on our board of directors and committees of our board of directors during fiscal 2013:

2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

The 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2013 LTIP”) is intended to: (i) align the interests of our stockholders and the recipients of awards under the 2013 LTIP by increasing the proprietary interest of such recipients in our growth and success, (ii) advance our interests by attracting and retaining directors, officers, employees and other service providers and (iii) motivate such persons to act in the long-term best interests of us and our stockholders.

Administration of the 2013 LTIP and Eligibility

The 2013 LTIP is administered by the compensation committee, which may delegate certain of its authority under the 2013 LTIP to our board of directors or, subject to applicable law, to our Chief Executive Officer or such other executive officer as the compensation committee deems appropriate; provided, that the compensation committee may not delegate its authority under the 2013 LTIP to our Chief Executive Officer or any other executive officer with regard to the selection for participation in the 2013 LTIP of an officer, director or other person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or decisions concerning the timing, price or amount of an award to such an officer, director or other person.

The compensation committee may, subject to the terms of the 2013 LTIP, select eligible persons for participation in the 2013 LTIP and determine the form, amount and timing of each award and, if applicable, the number of shares of our common stock, the number of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), the number of

restricted stock units (“RSUs”), the dollar value subject to an award, the purchase price or base price associated with the award, the time and conditions of exercise or settlement of the award and all other terms and conditions of the award, including, without limitation, the form of the agreement evidencing the award. The compensation committee may, in its sole discretion and for any reason at any time, take action such that (i) any or all outstanding options and SARs shall become exercisable in part or in full, (ii) all or a portion of the restriction period applicable to any outstanding restricted stock or RSUs shall lapse, (iii) all or a portion of the performance period applicable to any outstanding restricted stock, RSUs or performance award shall lapse and (iv) the performance measures (if any) applicable to any outstanding award shall be deemed to be satisfied at the target or any other level. The compensation committee may, subject to the terms of the 2013 LTIP, interpret the 2013 LTIP and the application thereof, establish rules and regulations it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2013 LTIP and impose, incidental to the grant of an award, conditions with respect to the award. All such interpretations, rules, regulations and conditions shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.

The compensation committee has reserved the right to amend or replace any previously granted option or SAR without stockholder approval in a manner that is considered a repricing under stock exchange listing rules.

Share Authorization

The number of shares of our common stock available for issuance with respect to awards granted under the 2013 LTIP is 2,527,833 shares, of which no more than 2,527,833 shares of our common stock in the aggregate may be issued in connection with incentive stock options (which generally are stock options that meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)). The number of shares of our common stock available under the 2013 LTIP shall be reduced by the sum of the aggregate number of shares of common stock which become subject to outstanding options, outstanding SARs, outstanding stock awards and outstanding performance awards. To the extent that shares of our common stock subject to an outstanding option, stock appreciation right, stock award or performance award granted under the 2013 LTIP or any predecessor plan are not issued or delivered by reason of (i) the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award (excluding shares subject to an option cancelled upon settlement in shares of a related tandem SAR or shares subject to a tandem SAR cancelled upon exercise of a related option) or (ii) the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares of our common stock generally shall again be available under the 2013 LTIP.

Notwithstanding anything in the 2013 LTIP to the contrary, shares of our common stock subject to an award under the 2013 LTIP may not be made available for issuance if those shares are: (i) shares that were subject to a stock-settled SAR and were not issued upon the net settlement or net exercise of such SAR; (ii) shares delivered to or withheld by us to pay the purchase price or the withholding taxes related to an outstanding option or SAR; or (iii) shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of an option exercise. Shares delivered to or withheld by us to pay the withholding taxes for stock awards or performance awards will again be available for issuance.

The number of shares of our common stock available for awards under the 2013 LTIP will not be reduced by (i) the number of shares of our common stock subject to Substitute Awards (as defined in the 2013 LTIP) or (ii) available shares under a stockholder approved plan of a company or other entity which was a party to a corporate transaction with us (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such corporate transaction) which become subject to awards granted under the 2013 LTIP (subject to applicable stock exchange requirements).

The shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2013 LTIP may consist either of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or of authorized and issued shares of our common stock reacquired and held as treasury shares or otherwise or a combination thereof.

Stock Options

Two types of stock options are authorized to be granted under the 2013 LTIP, options that qualify as incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of the Code and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options, i.e., nonstatutory stock options. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of our common stock, determined as of the date of grant, underlying any incentive stock options granted pursuant to any plans that first become exercisable during a calendar year with respect to an individual grantee exceeds $100,000, such stock options shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options.

The exercise price with respect to a stock option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, as determined pursuant to the 2013 LTIP. However, if an employee beneficially owns our common stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of us or of any of our subsidiaries at the time an incentive stock option is granted, then the exercise price with respect to such incentive stock options must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. In no event may an incentive stock option be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant; however, an incentive stock option granted to an employee with an exercise price required to be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant may not be exercisable for more than five years after the date of grant.

The exercise price may be paid in cash, by delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by us) of shares of our common stock having a fair market value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise, by authorizing us to withhold whole shares of our common stock which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy such obligation, in cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to us to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or a combination of the foregoing, in each case to the extent set forth in the award agreement relating to the option or as otherwise authorized by the compensation committee.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The 2013 LTIP authorizes the grant of SARs. An SAR provides the recipient with the right to receive, upon exercise of the SAR, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of the two. The amount that the recipient will receive upon exercise generally will equal the excess of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock on the date of exercise over the shares’ fair market value on the date of grant. SARs will become exercisable in accordance with terms determined by the compensation committee. SARs may be granted in tandem with an option grant or as independent grants. The term of an SAR cannot exceed, in the case of a tandem SAR, the expiration, cancellation or other termination of the related option and, in the case of a free-standing SAR, ten years from the date of grant.

Bonus Stock

The 2013 LTIP also provides for the grant of shares of our common stock which are not subject to a restriction period or performance measures (“Bonus Stock”). The compensation committee will determine the number of shares of Bonus Stock to be granted to any participant. Upon a grant of a Bonus Stock award, subject to our right to require payment of any withholding taxes, a certificate or certificates evidencing ownership of the requisite number of shares of our common stock will be delivered to the holder of such award or such shares will be transferred to the holder in book entry form.

Restricted Stock and RSUs

The 2013 LTIP also provides for the grant of restricted stock and RSUs. The compensation committee may place such restrictions as it deems appropriate on any shares of restricted stock or RSUs awarded under the 2013 LTIP. The number of shares subject to an award of restricted stock or RSUs and the restriction period, performance period (if any) and performance measures (if any) will be determined by the compensation

committee. Unless otherwise set forth in an award agreement, the holder of restricted stock awarded under the 2013 LTIP will have all rights as a stockholder, including, but not limited to, voting rights, the right to receive dividends and the right to participate in any capital adjustment applicable to all stockholders; provided, however, that (i) a distribution with respect to shares of our common stock, other than a regular cash dividend, and (ii) a regular cash dividend with respect to shares of our common stock that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, in each case, will be deposited with us and subject to the same restrictions as the shares of our common stock with respect to which such distribution was made. The award agreement evidencing a grant of RSUs will specify whether such award may be settled in shares of our common stock or cash or a combination thereof and whether the holder thereof will be entitled to receive, on a current or deferred basis, dividend equivalents, and, if determined by the compensation committee, interest on, or the deemed reinvestment of, any deferred dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of shares of our common stock subject to such award. Any dividend equivalents with respect to RSUs that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be subject to the same restrictions as such RSUs. Prior to the settlement of an award of RSUs, the holder of such award will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of our common stock subject to such award.

Performance Awards

The 2013 LTIP also authorizes the grant of performance awards. Performance awards represent the participant’s right to receive an amount of cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of both, contingent upon the attainment of specified performance measures within a specified period. The compensation committee may establish performance criteria and objectives that must be satisfied as a condition to the grant or exercisability of all or a portion of an option or SAR or during the applicable restriction period or performance period as a condition to the vesting of the holder’s interest, in the case of restricted stock awards, of the shares of our common stock subject to such award or, in the case of an award of RSUs or a performance award, to the holder’s receipt of the shares of our common stock subject to such award or of payment with respect to such award. Such criteria and objectives may include, without limitation, one or more of the following corporate-wide or subsidiary, division, operating unit or individual measures, stated in either absolute terms or relative terms, such as rates of growth or improvement: the attainment by a share of our common stock of a specified fair market value for a specified period of time, earnings per share, return to stockholders (including dividends), return on assets, return on equity, earnings of us before or after taxes and/or interest, revenues, expenses, market share, cash flow or cost reduction goals, interest expense after taxes, return on investment, return on investment capital, return on operating costs, economic value created, operating margin, gross margin, the achievement of annual operating profit plans, net income before or after taxes, pretax earnings before interest, depreciation and/or amortization, pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before incentives, and/or extraordinary or special items, operating earnings, net cash provided by operations, and strategic business criteria, specified market penetration, cost targets, customer satisfaction or any combination of the foregoing. In the sole discretion of the compensation committee, the compensation committee may amend or adjust the performance measures or other terms and conditions of an outstanding award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us or its financial statements or changes in law or accounting principles.

The award agreement relating to any performance award will provide the vesting provisions for such award if the specified performance measures are satisfied or met during the specified performance period and for the forfeiture of such award if the specified performance measures are not satisfied or met during the specified performance period. Any dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to a performance award that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be subject to the same restrictions as such performance award. Prior to the settlement of a performance award in shares of our common stock, including restricted stock, the holder of such award will have no rights as a stockholder.

Transferability

Awards granted under the 2013 LTIP are not transferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by us or, to the extent expressly permitted in an award agreement, to the holder’s family members, a trust or entity established by the holder for

estate planning purposes, a charitable organization designated by the holder or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, in each case, without consideration. Except to the extent permitted by the foregoing sentence or as provided in an award agreement, each award may be exercised or settled during the holder’s lifetime only by the holder or the holder’s legal representative or similar person. Except as permitted by the second preceding sentence, no award may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any award, such award and all rights thereunder will immediately become null and void.

Eligibility

Awards may be granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants, and persons expected to become our officers, directors, employees or consultants. However, only our regular full-time employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options. As of April 25, 2014, there were five executive officers, seven directors and approximately 163 employees eligible to receive grants under the 2013 LTIP.

Termination of Employment

All of the terms of an award relating to a termination of employment or service with us will be determined by the compensation committee and set forth in an award agreement.

Adjustments

In the event of any equity restructuring (within the meaning of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation) that causes the per share value of shares of our common stock to change, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, rights offering or recapitalization through an extraordinary dividend, the number and class of securities available under the 2013 LTIP, the terms of each outstanding option and SAR (including the number and class of securities subject to each outstanding option or SAR and the purchase price or base price per share), the terms of each outstanding restricted stock award and RSU award (including the number and class of securities subject thereto), and the terms of each outstanding performance award will be appropriately adjusted by the compensation committee, such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding options and SARs without an increase in the aggregate purchase price or base price and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, including a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or partial or complete liquidation of the Company, such equitable adjustments described in the foregoing sentence may be made as determined to be appropriate and equitable by the compensation committee (or, if we are not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation) to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants. In either case, the decision of the compensation committee regarding any such adjustment will be final, binding and conclusive.

Change in Control

Subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement, upon a “change in control” (as defined in the 2013 LTIP), our board of directors may, in its discretion, determine whether some or all outstanding options and SARs will become exercisable in full or in part, whether the restriction period and performance period applicable to some or all outstanding restricted stock awards and RSU awards will lapse in full or in part and whether the performance measures applicable to some or all outstanding awards will be deemed to be satisfied. Our board of directors may further require that shares of stock of the corporation resulting from such a change in control, or a parent corporation thereof, be substituted for some or all of shares of our common stock subject to an outstanding award and that any outstanding awards, in whole or in part, be surrendered to us by the holder, to be immediately cancelled by us, in exchange for a cash payment, shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from or succeeding us or a combination of both cash and such shares of stock.

Amendment and Termination

Our board of directors may terminate or amend the 2013 LTIP at any time, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation. The compensation committee may amend the terms of any outstanding award under the 2013 LTIP at any time. No amendment or termination of the 2013 LTIP or any outstanding award may adversely affect any of the rights of an award holder without the holder’s consent.

Effective Date and Term of Plan

The 2013 LTIP became effective on January 30, 2013 and will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated sooner by our board of directors.

Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan

Our directors and executive officers may adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they will contract with a broker to buy or sell shares of our common stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the director or officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. The director or officer may amend a Rule 10b5-1 plan in some circumstances and may terminate a plan at any time. Our directors and executive officers also may buy or sell additional shares outside a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material nonpublic information subject to compliance with the terms of our policy on insider trading and communications with the public.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As noted above, the Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Bronson, Cable and Gilbert. No member of the Compensation Committee is, or has been at any time, an officer or employee of TRI Pointe, nor has any member had any relationship with TRI Pointe requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of TRI Pointe’s executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on TRI Pointe’s board of directors or Compensation Committee.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, and Director Independence

In addition to the compensation described in Part III, Item 11 “Executive Compensation,” our executive officers, directors and other related parties will be entitled to receive, or have received since the beginning of the last fiscal year, material financial and other benefits, including the following:

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our officers and directors. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Additionally, we have entered into indemnification agreements with Starwood Capital Group and Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs, pursuant to which we have agreed to (i) pay all out-of-pocket costs, and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors, incurred by the applicable stockholder in connection with the execution and performance of the applicable voting agreement and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the applicable stockholder from all losses arising out of or relating to the execution and performance of the applicable voting agreement.

Registration Rights

On January 30, 2013, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the former members of TPH LLC, including the Starwood Fund, the members of our management team and a third-party investor, with respect to the shares of our common stock that they received as part of our formation transactions. The shares are referred to collectively as the “registrable shares.” Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we granted the former members of TPH LLC and their direct and indirect transferees shelf registration rights to require us to file a shelf registration statement for the registrable shares and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement so as to allow sales thereunder from time to time, demand registration rights to have the registrable shares registered for resale, and, in certain circumstances, the right to make “piggy-back” sales of the registrable shares under registration statements we might file in connection with future public offerings.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration rights are subject to cutback provisions, and we are permitted to suspend the use, from time to time, of the prospectus that is part of the shelf registration statement (and therefore suspend sales under the shelf registration statement) for certain periods, referred to as “blackout periods.”

Acquisitions and Pending Acquisitions from Entities Managed by Affiliates of Starwood Capital Group

In March 2011 and December 2012, we (through our predecessor in interest, TPH LLC) acquired 62 lots and 25 lots, respectively, in the Rosedale master planned community located in Azusa, California, for a purchase price of approximately $6.5 million and $3.5 million (plus a potential profit participation should a specific net margin be exceeded), respectively, from an entity in which an affiliate of the Starwood Capital Group owns a minority interest.

In December 2012, we (through our predecessor in interest, TPH LLC) acquired 57 lots out of a total commitment of 149 lots located in Castle Rock, Colorado, for a purchase price of approximately $3.2 million from an entity managed by an affiliate of the Starwood Capital Group. We have the right to acquire the remaining 92 entitled lots for a purchase price of approximately $5.4 million.

In March 2013, we acquired an additional 66 lots in the Rosedale master planned community located in Azusa, California, for a purchase price of approximately $15.7 million (plus a potential profit participation should a specific net margin be exceeded) from an entity in which an affiliate of the Starwood Capital Group owns a minority interest. This acquisition was approved by our independent directors.

In September 2013, we acquired 87 lots located in the master planned community of Sycamore Creek in Riverside, CA, for a purchase price of approximately $11.8 million, and 49 lots located in the community of Topazridge, also located in Riverside, CA, for a purchase price of approximately $6 million. These lots were purchased from an entity managed by an affiliate of the Starwood Capital Group. This acquisition was approved by our independent directors.

In December 2013, we acquired 67 lots located in Castle Rock, Colorado, for a purchase price of approximately $3.8 million from an entity managed by an affiliate of the Starwood Capital Group. This acquisition was approved by our independent directors.

In February 2014, we acquired 87 additional lots located in the master planned community of Sycamore Creek in Riverside, CA, for a purchase price of approximately $7.8 million from an entity managed by an affiliate of the Starwood Capital Group. This acquisition was approved by our independent directors.

Reimbursement of Expenses to Starwood Capital Group

Although we do not pay any fees to Starwood Capital Group or its affiliates, we have reimbursed Starwood Capital Group for certain due diligence expenses and for the out-of-pocket travel and lodging expenses of

representatives of Starwood Fund for their attendance at board of directors and other meetings and in connection with site visits or other business of our company. We reimbursed Starwood Capital Group $0, $4,166 and $79,464 during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest may exist among our directors and officers and other related parties and us as described below.

As of April 25, 2014, the Starwood Fund owned 11,985,905 shares of our common stock (not including 2,701,569 shares subject to the investor rights agreement described in Part III, Item 13 “Investor Rights Agreement”), which represents approximately 37.9% of the shares entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting. Starwood Fund is managed by an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group. On January 30, 2013, we entered into an investor rights agreement with the Starwood Fund. Under the investor rights agreement, the Starwood Fund has the right to nominate two members of the our board of directors for as long as the Starwood Fund owns 25% or more of our outstanding common stock (excluding shares of common stock that are subject to issuance upon the exercise or exchange of rights of conversion or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares) and one member of our board of directors for as long as it owns at least 10% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, the members of our management team agreed to vote all shares of our common stock that they own in favor of the Starwood Fund nominees in any election of directors for as long as the Starwood Fund owns at least 10% of our outstanding common stock.

The Starwood Fund’s interests may not be fully aligned with yours and this could lead to a strategy that is not in your best interest. In addition, Starwood Fund’s significant ownership in us and resulting ability to effectively control our company, in each case, prior to the consummation of the WRECO Transactions, may discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in our company, or could discourage transactions involving a change in control, including transactions in which you as a holder of shares of our common stock might otherwise receive a premium for your shares over the then current market price.

In addition to the acquisitions of lots from entities managed by an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group referred to above in the section entitled “—Acquisitions and Pending Acquisitions from Entities Managed by Affiliates of Starwood Capital Group,” we may in the future acquire additional land from affiliates of Starwood Capital Group. Any such acquisitions will be separately considered for approval by the independent directors.

Mr. Barry Sternlicht, the Chairman of our board of directors, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Capital Group. As a result of our relationship with Starwood Capital Group, there may be transactions between us and Starwood Capital Group, Starwood Property Trust (which is managed by an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group) or their affiliates that could present an actual or perceived conflict of interest. These conflicts of interest may lead Mr. Sternlicht to recuse himself from actions of our board of directors with respect to any transactions involving or with Starwood Capital Group, Starwood Property Trust or their affiliates. In addition, Mr. Sternlicht will devote only a portion of his business time to his duties with our board of directors, and he will devote the majority of his time to his duties with Starwood Capital Group and its affiliates and other commitments.

We have entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Mr. Douglas Bauer, our Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Thomas Mitchell, our President and Chief Operating Officer; and Mr. Michael Grubbs, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, pursuant to which they will devote their full business time and

attention to our company’s affairs. Refer to Part III, Item 11 “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements.” These employment agreements were not negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. We may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, its rights under these agreements because of its desire to maintain an ongoing relationship with the individual parties to these agreements.

On November 3, 2013, Messrs. Bauer, Grubbs and Mitchell entered into a lock-up agreement with the Starwood Fund. Pursuant to the lock-up agreement, Messrs. Bauer, Grubbs and Mitchell each agreed that, following the consummation of the WRECO Transactions they would not sell to any third party certain of their shares of common stock, as outlined in each of their employment agreements, without the prior written consent of the Starwood Fund until the Starwood Fund (and any of its affiliates owning our common stock) owns less than 4.875% of our total common stock outstanding after the consummation of the WRECO Transactions. For more information, see Part III, Item 11 “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements.”

In February 2014, our board of directors approved bonuses of $150,000 payable to each of Messrs. Bauer, Mitchell and Grubbs, contingent on the consummation of the WRECO Transactions, for their efforts in connection with the WRECO Transactions.

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines which, among other things, require directors to disclose to the Chairman of the Board personal or business interests that involve an actual or potential conflict of interest. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that any transaction in which any of our directors, officers or employees has an interest must be approved by a vote of a majority of our disinterested and independent directors. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (or persons performing similar functions) (collectively, “Senior Officers” and each a “Senior Officer”) must comply with our Code of Ethics for Senior Executive and Financial Officers, which requires the prior written approval of our audit committee before a Senior Officer makes any investment, accepts any position or benefits, participates in any transaction or business arrangement or otherwise acts in a manner that creates or appears to create a conflict of interest. Neither the adoption of these policies nor any communication concerning these policies is intended to constitute a representation concerning past, present or future compliance by the persons subject to them. We cannot assure you that these policies will be successful in eliminating the influence of conflicts of interest. These policies may be amended from time to time at the discretion of our board of directors, without a vote of our stockholders.

Director Independence

Our board of directors has determined that five of its directors, Messrs. Bronson, Cable, Gilbert, Perrin and Rogers, constituting a majority, satisfy the listing standards for independence of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The non-management directors meet regularly in executive sessions outside the presence of management, and Mr. Gilbert, as lead independent director, currently presides at all executive sessions of the non-management directors. Additionally, the independent directors also meet regularly in executive sessions, and Mr. Gilbert, as lead independent director, currently presides at all executive sessions of the independent directors.
