EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Aviv REIT, Inc., or AVIV, and Aviv Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, or the Partnership, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, originally filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015 (the “Original Filing”). Unless the context requires otherwise or except as otherwise noted, as used herein the words “we,” the “Company,” “us” and “our” refer to AVIV and AVIV’s controlled subsidiaries and the Partnership and the Partnership’s controlled subsidiaries collectively, as the operations of the two aforementioned entities are materially comparable for the periods presented. This Amendment is being filed to amend Part III of the Original Filing because the Company no longer intends to file a definitive proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders within 120 days of the end of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Part IV of the Original Filing is being amended solely to add as exhibits certain new certifications in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing other than as expressly indicated in this Amendment. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings made with the SEC on or subsequent to February 26, 2015.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation

Impact of the Merger

The merger agreement provides for the treatment described below of outstanding equity awards, including those grants made in 2014. While the merger will impact outstanding equity awards as described below, the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Form 10-K/A describes the original terms of the 2014 grants, without taking into consideration the impact of the merger as the merger was not consummated as of December 31, 2014.

Under the merger agreement, each option to acquire shares of Aviv common stock, and each restricted stock award relating to Aviv common stock, granted before the merger closing date under Aviv’s equity plans to an employee or a non-employee director, which are referred to herein as “participants,” will remain in effect and will be exercisable for or relate to shares of Omega common stock based on the exchange ratio (with similar adjustment to the exercise price per share of each stock option). Restricted stock awards for any individual who is a non-employee director of Aviv immediately prior to the merger effective time will be 100% vested.

All performance-based restricted stock units relating to Aviv common stock granted before the merger closing date under Aviv’s equity plans to participants will be deemed to be vested and earned as of the merger closing date to the extent the applicable performance goals have been achieved as of (i) December 31, 2014, with respect to awards with performance periods that started before December 31, 2014, or (ii) the merger closing date with respect to awards with performance periods that started on or after December 31, 2014. Each such performance-based restricted stock unit will be payable on the merger closing date in shares of Omega common stock based on the exchange ratio.

All time-based restricted stock units relating to Aviv common stock granted before the merger closing date under Aviv’s equity plans (i) to a participant who ceases to be employed by Aviv as of the merger closing date and is not immediately thereafter employed by Omega will fully vest as of the merger closing date, and (ii) to a participant who Omega continues to employ, will remain in effect provided that such units shall vest 100% if the employment or service of the individual is terminated by Omega without cause before the first anniversary of the closing date. Such time-based restricted stock units will be payable in shares of Omega common stock based on the exchange ratio.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following summary of the compensation arrangements of our named executive officers (defined in 2014 as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our President and Chief Operating Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers as of December 31, 2014) should be read together with the executive compensation tables and related footnote disclosures detailed below.

Compensation Program Objectives

The primary goal of our executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain top-caliber talent needed to lead us in achieving business success. Our compensation approach has traditionally been reflective of the operation of our business as a closely held private company and the compensation tools available to us in that structure. Prior to our becoming a public company, the principal owners were solely responsible for setting and adjusting the overall design of our pay programs for the named executive officers. As such, historically, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has negotiated executive compensation packages as part of the hiring process and reviewed each executive’s compensation as part of the annual performance review and budgeting process. In conjunction with our initial public offering in March 2013, the Compensation Committee was formed and is now responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of our named executive officers.

In connection with our initial public offering, our Compensation Committee performed a comprehensive review of our executive compensation program to evaluate whether any modifications to the program were

warranted in connection with or following our initial public offering. Based on such review, the committee maintained our compensation philosophy of targeting executive pay to approximate the median of a competitive market, defined by reference to other publicly-traded real estate companies of similar size, and delivering the majority of executive compensation opportunity through performance-based programs designed to provide that our executives earn competitive pay only if our performance warrants such pay.

We believe that our post-offering annual incentive program reflects prevalent practices within our competitive market and provides our named executive officers the opportunity to earn cash incentive awards based on the level of achievement of pre-defined measures of our financial performance that we believe are closely linked to stockholder value. Our named executive officers have the vast majority of their annual incentive opportunity tied to these pre-defined measures. Our Compensation Committee also implemented a long-term incentive program under the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan that provided named executive officers with the opportunity to earn 75% of their annual equity grant based upon our achievement of competitive total shareholder return in comparison to indices of publicly-traded real estate companies over a multi-year performance period. The remaining portion of the 2014 annual equity grants consisted of time-based equity awards, which generally will vest at the end of a three-year vesting period.

In 2014, the Compensation Committee considered the result of the “say-on-pay” vote cast by our stockholders at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as it evaluated our executive compensation program. In 2014, approximately 99% of those who voted on the “say-on-pay” proposal approved the compensation of Aviv’s named executive officers, as disclosed in our 2014 proxy statement. The Compensation Committee did not make any changes to our compensation program in response to the 2014 “say-on-pay” vote.

Evolution of Our Compensation Program

Our compensation philosophy is to provide compensation opportunity levels that approximate market median levels and which can only be achieved upon satisfaction of our operating and financial goals and strategic objectives. We have implemented a performance-based compensation program designed to provide that a meaningful level of each executive’s compensation is tied to the achievement of our financial and operating goals.

During 2014, the Compensation Committee retained Pay Governance LLC (the “Consultant”) to assist us in assessing competitive market pay levels and program designs. In establishing compensation opportunity levels for our executive officers for 2014, the Consultant gathered compensation data from a number of sources:

•

proxy data obtained from publicly-traded healthcare industry REITs or real estate companies;

•

proxy data obtained from publicly-traded REITs or real estate companies of similar size to us, as measured by market capitalization; and

•

survey data obtained from the NAREIT Compensation Survey, which includes more than 100 participating companies, which was adjusted to include participants of similar size and/or industry/asset focus to us.

We believe that the peer groups (which we define as publicly-traded REITs and real estate companies of relevant industry and/or size scope) constitute a critical component of the market where we compete for executive talent. At the time of our executive compensation review of 2014 compensation decisions, our two comparator groups consisted of the following organizations:

Publicly-Traded Health Care Industry REITs and Real Estate Companies*


• Healthcare Realty Trust Inc.		• Omega Healthcare Investors Inc.

• Healthcare Trust of America, Inc.		• Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc.

• LTC Properties Inc.		• Senior Housing Properties Trust

• Medical Properties Trust Inc.		• Universal Health Realty Income Trust

• National Health Investors Inc.

*	In addition to these nine companies, we also reviewed pay design practices for three other industry peers, HCP, Inc., Health Care REIT, Inc. and Ventas, Inc., who we viewed as too large to use in direct pay level comparisons.

Publicly-Traded REITs and Real Estate Companies of Similar Size to Us


• Acadia Realty Trust		• Franklin Street Properties Corp.

• Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.		• Government Properties Income Trust

• American Assets Trust, Inc.		• Hersha Hospitality Trust

• Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation		• Lexington Realty Trust

• Capstead Mortgage Corp.		• Pebblebrook Hotel Trust

• Education Realty Trust, Inc.		• Redwood Trust, Inc.

• First Industrial Realty Trust Inc.		• Sovran Self Storage, Inc.

• First Service Corp.		• Strategic Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

2014 Executive Compensation Components

Our 2014 executive compensation program consisted of the following elements, each of which is described in more detail below:


Element	Description	Rationale
Base salary	• Based on position-specific responsibilities and performance • Paid at a rate established at the beginning of each year	• Required to deliver competitive pay and attract and retain required talent

Annual incentive	• Opportunity to earn a percentage of base salary based upon performance against pre-determined company and individual performance objectives (awards to NEOs are based purely on company performance)	• Provide compensation opportunity that encourages strong performance and focuses individuals on key strategic goals related to company performance • Provide competitive earning opportunity

Equity 1. Long-Term Incentive Plan 2. Management Equity Interests in LG Aviv L.P.	• Differentiated equity awards granted based on level of responsibility, seniority and/or ability to influence value creation	• Aligns executives with stockholder value creation • Provides a long-term incentive vehicle to provide additional performance-based pay opportunity • Creates a retention mechanism

Benefits and Perquisites	• Consistent with those offered to all employees	• Executives should not receive preferential perquisite, health or welfare treatment

Base Salary

Salaries for named executive officers are established based on position-specific responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation for similar positions, the skills and experience of the individual, internal equity among executive officers, individual performance, and other relevant subjective factors. Base salaries have historically been reviewed annually and adjustments made where deemed appropriate, or at other times to reflect significant changes in job responsibilities or market conditions.

Annual Incentive Awards

For fiscal year 2014, cash awards were eligible to be earned under our annual incentive program. Based on its comprehensive review, the Compensation Committee established target annual incentive opportunities, which considered external benchmarks and best practices, as well as internal considerations. The table below sets forth the annual incentive award opportunity levels for our named executive officers, as a percentage of base salary.


	Threshold			Target			High			Portion of Award Tied to Performance
Craig M. Bernfield(1)		62.5	%		125.0	%		250.0	%		100.0	%
Steven J. Insoft(1)		40.0	%		80.0	%		160.0	%		100.0	%
Mark L. Wetzel(1)		30.0	%		60.0	%		120.0	%		100.0	%
Samuel H. Kovitz(2)		25.0	%		50.0	%		100.0	%		80.0	%
Donna M. O’Neill(2)		25.0	%		50.0	%		100.0	%		80.0	%

(1)	For Messrs. Bernfield, Insoft and Wetzel, the annual incentive award opportunity was weighted 75% based on AFFO Growth, as defined below, and 25% based on strategic and operational objectives.

(2)	For Mr. Kovtiz and Ms. O’Neill, the annual incentive award opportunity was weighted 50% based on AFFO Growth, 30% based on strategic and operational objectives, and 20% based on individual management objectives.

The following table sets forth the AFFO Growth corporate performance goals and actual results used in determining 2014 annual incentives for the named executive officers:


Performance Goal	Threshold (50%)		Target (100%)		Maximum (200%)		Actual Results		Payout as a % of Award Opportunity
AFFO Growth (1)	$	1.87	$	1.97	$	2.07	$	2.10		200	%

(1)

Reflects the growth in diluted funds from operations (FFO) per share as defined by NAREIT, adjusted to exclude costs incurred in connection with any equity issuances, the repayment of debt and non-cash interest on the exchangeable debentures, and impairment charges associated with asset values. Target AFFO was based on the Board-approved annual budget.

As noted above, each named executive officer also had a portion of his or her bonus opportunity based on strategic and operational performance objectives, which for 2014 related to coverage, investment and management effectiveness. The Compensation Committee awarded this portion of the annual incentive opportunity at 200% after considering such factors as the Company’s investment and strategic acquisition activity during 2014, stability of EBITDAR coverage during the year, the Company’s April 2014 secondary public offering, the entry into the merger agreement with Omega as well as the Company’s stock price performance. In addition, Mr. Kovtiz and Ms. O’Neill had a portion of their annual incentive award based on individual management objectives relating to teamwork, leadership, and individual contributions. Based on their respective performance, the Compensation Committee awarded this portion of the annual incentive opportunity at 200%.

Equity Awards

Long-Term Incentive Plan

In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted the Aviv REIT, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan to help facilitate implementation of our future compensation programs as a public company. The 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan was structured with a view to providing our Compensation Committee with flexibility to structure a compensation program that provided a range of potential incentive awards to our named executive officers.

For 2014, the long-term incentive awards for named executive officers consisted of performance-based and time-based RSUs, weighted 75% and 25%, respectively. Under the original terms of the awards, the 2014 performance-based RSUs would vest at the end of 2016 (based on continued employment and TSR performance percentile from the grant date through the end of 2016). Under the terms of the awards, relative performance is measured 50% against companies comprising the NAREIT Equity Index and 50% against the companies comprising the Bloomberg Healthcare REIT Index. Payouts are based on percentile ranking as compared to the comparison group in accordance with the following table:


Company Percentile Rank v. Comparison Group	Percentage of Award Vested
Below 30th percentile		0	%
30^th – 50^th percentiles		50	%
50^th – 63^rd percentiles		100	%
63^rd – 75^th percentiles		150	%
75^th percentile and above		200	%

Under the original terms of awards, the 2014 time-based RSUs will vest if the named executive officer is still employed at the end of 2016.

The following table sets forth the number of time-based RSUs and performance-based RSUs granted to the named executive officers during 2014 pursuant to the long-term incentive program.


Named Executive Officer	Time-Based RSUs		Performance-Based RSUs
Craig M. Bernfield		9,091		24,641
Steven J. Insoft		7,071		19,165
Mark L. Wetzel		7,576		20,534
Samuel H. Kovitz		2,525		6,845
Donna M. O’Neill		2,020		5,475

As discussed above, in connection with the merger, the performance-based RSUs will vest based on performance through December 31, 2014. Our TSR performance percentile during 2013-2014 with respect to the 2013 performance-based RSUs and during 2014 with respect to the 2014 performance-based RSUs was 100% and 99%, respectively. Based on this performance and, assuming the merger is consummated, our 2013 performance-based RSUs and our 2014 performance-based RSUs will vest at 200%.

Management Equity Interests in LG Aviv L.P. In connection with our initial public offering, the holders of option awards under our historic equity incentive plan received a new class of units of LG Aviv L.P., the legal entity through which Lindsay Goldberg holds its interest in Aviv REIT, equal to the number of options held by such persons immediately prior to the consummation of our initial public offering. Under the limited partnership agreement of LG Aviv L.P., the units are entitled to receive an aggregate distribution amount equal to 14.9% of the dividend distributions declared and received by LG Aviv L.P. after the consummation of our initial public offering in respect of its shares of our common stock. The distribution amount will be paid ratably to each holder of such units on the distribution date in the proportion that the total number of units held by such holder bears to the total outstanding units of the same class. Any units payments will be paid, if at all, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar quarter in which dividends were paid to our stockholders and (ii) three business days following the named executive officer’s termination of employment with us.

OP Unit Awards. Prior to our initial public offering, Mr. Insoft, in recognition of his service to our company, was granted Class D units in our operating partnership. Outstanding Class D units vested in connection with our initial public offering in March 2013 and were converted into OP units of our operating partnership in connection with the reorganization of our operating partnership upon the consummation of our initial public offering. In addition, in connection with Mr. Insoft’s hiring in 2007 and our desire for him to participate in an

equity-based arrangement that would align him with investors, Mr. Insoft was granted phantom Class C units in our operating partnership with a value equal to 5% of the Class C units as of any date. All of the phantom Class C units granted vested on or prior to December 31, 2012 and 60% were settled in Class C units. The Class C units were converted into OP units of our operating partnership in connection with the reorganization of our operating partnership upon the consummation of our initial public offering.

Benefits and Perquisites

Each of our named executive officers participates in the retirement and health/welfare benefit plans generally available to all employees. We maintain a 401(k) plan for our eligible employees, including our named executive officers. We have not historically made matching contributions or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) plan. An employee’s deferrals under our 401(k) plan are 100% vested and nonforfeitable when made to the plan. In 2014, we did not offer any perquisites to our named executive officers.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our named executive officers are required to maintain equity ownership of a number of shares with a value equals to a multiple of his or her base salary. Our Chief Executive Officer is required to hold five times his base salary, while each of our other named executive officers is required to hold three times his or her base salary. The executives have five years from our initial public offering in March 2013 to achieve these guidelines.

Policy on Hedging and Pledging of Company Securities

We consider it inappropriate for any director or officer to enter into speculative transactions in our Company’s securities. Therefore, we prohibit the purchase of or sale of puts, calls, options or other derivative instruments related to our Company’s securities or debt. Our policy also prohibits hedging or monetization transactions, such as forward sale contracts, in which the stockholder continues to own the underlying security without all the risks or rewards of ownership. Additionally, directors and officers may not purchase our Company’s securities on margin or borrow against any account in which our securities are held.

Compensation Committee Report

The following is a report by the Compensation Committee regarding our executive officer compensation program.

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the disclosure set forth under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above and, based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board that such “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

For 2014, the amounts in this column represent equity awards granted under our 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The amounts reported in this column for 2014 are valued based on the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, with the values reported for the performance-based RSUs calculated based on the probable satisfaction of the market-based vesting conditions for such awards at the time of grant. The grant date fair value of the performance-based RSUs does not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by each of the named executive officers with respect to these awards, which may be higher or lower based on a number of factors, including the Company’s performance, the performance of the companies in comparison group, stock price fluctuations and applicable vesting. Under FASB ASC 718, the vesting condition related to the performance-based RSUs granted is considered a market condition and not a performance condition. Accordingly, there is no grant date fair value below or in excess of the amounts reflected in the table above that could be calculated and disclosed based on achievement of market conditions. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating these amounts.

(2)	For 2014, amounts in this column represent distributions received on equity interests in LG Aviv L.P. In addition, amounts represent, for Mr. Insoft, $51,408 in distributions received in 2014 on phantom units of our operating partnership and, for Mr. Wetzel, $19,505 for relocation expenses.

(3)	Mr. Wetzel was hired as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, effective November 12, 2013.

(4)	Ms. O’Neill was not a named executive officer in 2013 or 2012.

Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment or a Corporate Transaction/Change in Control

Each of our named executive officers serves at the pleasure of our board of directors. The disclosure below describes certain compensation that may become payable to Mr. Wetzel as a result of a qualifying termination of employment, based on his Employment Agreement. In addition, the following disclosure describes the impact of a qualifying termination of employment, a corporate transaction or a change in control under the terms of the equity awards held by each of our named executive officers.

Wetzel Employment Agreement.

In the event of termination by the Company without cause or by Mr. Wetzel for good reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreement), or upon Mr. Wetzel’s death or disability, he will receive accrued and unpaid salary and benefits to which he is entitled and continuation of health insurance coverage for him and/or his family under the Company’s group health plans for one year (valued at $19,200 as of December 31, 2014). In addition, in the event (i) of termination by the Company without cause or by Mr. Wetzel for good reason as of December 31, 2014, he will receive a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to two times the sum of his annual salary plus the average of his three most recent annual incentive cash payments received from the Company (or, if fewer than three such payments, the highest) ($1,518,000); and (ii) of termination upon Mr. Wetzel’s death or disability, Mr. Wetzel or his beneficiary or estate, as applicable, will receive a pro rated target annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs ($207,000). In addition, in the event Mr. Wetzel is terminated without cause or due to good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), he would be eligible to receive accelerated vesting of his equity awards. Assuming a December 31, 2014 termination date, Mr. Wetzel would have received accelerated vesting of 94,954 RSUs, or $3,274,014 based on the December 31, 2014 share price of Aviv common stock.

Transition Agreements with Mr. Bernfield and Ms. O’Neill.

In connection with the entry into the merger agreement, effective as of October 31, 2014, Aviv entered into transition agreements with certain individuals, including Mr. Bernfield and Ms. O’Neill, which we refer to as the transition agreements. The transition agreements will become effective upon the completion of the merger. Under

the transition agreements, provided that the executives remain employed with Omega or an Omega subsidiary in good standing through the scheduled separation date (as defined below) and Omega or an Omega subsidiary has not terminated the executive’s employment for cause (as defined in the transition agreements), these executives would be entitled to separation payments as follows: Mr. Bernfield, $1,330,667 and Ms. O’Neill, $270,317. The separation payments are payable in a lump sum payment within 60 days following the scheduled separation date, subject to the executive complying with the terms of the transition agreement and the executives’ execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of Omega and its affiliates. The “scheduled separation date” will occur upon the executive’s termination of employment without cause by Omega on or before the last day of the fifth month following the calendar month in which the completion of the merger occurs.

In addition, subject to the requirements described above, on the scheduled separation date, all Aviv stock options and time-based restricted stock units held by the executive that were granted before the completion of the merger and remain in place after the completion of the merger will immediately vest in full. Under the terms of the transition agreements, time-based RSUs will be settled in cash within 60 days of the scheduled separation date, based on the number of shares of Omega common stock underlying the award and the fair market value of a share of Omega common stock as of the scheduled separation date. For illustrative purposes, assuming the merger was completed as of December 31, 2014 and Mr. Bernfield and Ms. O’Neill experienced a qualifying termination of employment at that time, Mr. Bernfield and Ms. O’Neill would have received a cash payment of $540,509 and $120,094, respectively, in exchange for the cancelation of outstanding time-based RSUs.

Change in Control Agreement with Mr. Kovitz

In connection with the entry into the merger agreement, and contingent upon the completion of the merger, effective October 31, 2014, Aviv entered into change in control severance agreements, which we refer to as the change in control agreements, with certain individuals including Mr. Kovitz. Under the change in control agreements, subject to the completion of the merger, if the executive is terminated by Omega or a subsidiary of Omega without cause (as defined in the change in control agreement) or the executive leaves Omega for good reason (as defined in the change in control agreement), in each case, during the one-year period following the completion of the merger, then the executive will be entitled to a severance payment equal to the sum of (i) the executive officer’s remaining base salary until the expiration of such one-year period, and (ii) a prorated target bonus for the year of termination, payable within 60 days following the date of termination. In addition, subject to the requirements described above, on the termination date, all Aviv stock options and time-based RSUs held by the executive that were granted before the completion of the merger and remained in place after the completion of the merger would immediately vest in full. Under the terms of the change in control agreements, all time-based RSUs would be settled in cash within 60 days of the termination, based on the number of shares of Omega common stock underlying the award and the fair market value of shares of Omega common stock as of the termination date. The executive’s right to benefits under the change in control agreements is contingent upon the execution and non-revocation of a general release in favor of Omega.

For illustrative purposes, assuming the merger was completed as of December 31, 2014 and Mr. Kovitz experienced a qualifying termination of employment at that time, Mr. Kovitz would have received a severance payment of $426,250 and a cash payment of $150,160 in exchange for the cancelation of outstanding time-based RSUs.

Performance-Based RSUs.

In connection with the merger, all performance-based RSUs relating to Aviv common stock granted before the merger closing date under Aviv’s equity plans to participants will be deemed to be vested and earned as of the merger closing date to the extent the applicable performance goals have been achieved as of (i) December 31, 2014, with respect to awards with performance periods that started before December 31, 2014, or (ii) the merger closing date with respect to awards with performance periods that started on or after December 31, 2014. Each such performance-based RSUs will be payable on the merger closing date in shares of Omega common stock

based on the exchange ratio. For illustrative purposes, assuming the merger was completed as of December 31, 2014, our named executive officers would have been entitled to receive shares of Omega common stock with an aggregate value as follows: Mr. Bernfield, $2,706,707; Mr. Insoft, $2,104,857; Mr. Wetzel, $1,519,675; Mr. Kovitz, $751,363; and Ms. O’Neill, $600,654.

Relationship between Compensation Policies and Risk Management

We do not believe that there are any risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, we believe that the mix and design of the elements of executive compensation do not encourage management to assume excessive risks. Our Compensation Committee evaluates the relationship between our compensation policies and risk management on an annual basis.

Compensation of Directors

Cash Compensation. Each of our non-employee directors (excluding Messrs. Dees, Goldberg and Triedman) receives an annual cash retainer of $50,000. The director who serves as chair of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000, and each of the directors who serves as chairs of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives an additional annual cash retainer of $7,500. We do not provide any per-meeting compensation to any of our directors. All members of our Board are reimbursed for their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attending our Board meetings.

Equity-Based Compensation. Each of our non-employee directors (excluding Messrs. Dees, Goldberg and Triedman) receives an annual equity grant of unrestricted common stock with a grant date fair value of $65,000. Our Lead Independent Director receives an additional annual equity grant of unrestricted common stock with a grant date fair value of $10,000. The equity awards granted to our directors are made pursuant to our 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

2014 Director Compensation. The following table summarizes the compensation that we paid to our non-employee directors (excluding Messrs. Dees, Goldberg and Triedman) in 2014. Neither Messrs. Dees, Goldberg and Triedman nor Mr. Bernfield, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, receive compensation for their services as directors. Information regarding compensation for Mr. Bernfield can be found in the “Executive Compensation” section in this Form 10-K/A.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our Board believes ownership by our directors of a meaningful financial stake in our Company serves to align the interests of our directors with those of our stockholders. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that our non-employee directors maintain equity ownership of a number of shares with a value equal to five times his or her base annual cash retainer. The directors have five years from our initial public offering in March 2013 to achieve these guidelines. LG Aviv’s stock ownership will be attributed to Messrs. Dees, Goldberg and Triedman for purposes of these guidelines. Mr. Bernfield is subject to the stock ownership guidelines applicable to our named executive officers, which can be found elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Related Person Transactions

Related party transactions are transactions in which we are a participant where the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a member of our Board or nominee, an executive officer or a holder of more than 5% of our voting securities (or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing) has a direct or indirect material interest.

We have adopted a related person transactions policy to address the reporting, review, approval and ratification of related party transactions. Pursuant to the policy, each related person transaction must be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee of the Board or, if the Audit Committee determines that the approval or ratification of such related person transaction should be considered by all of the disinterested members of the Board, by such disinterested members of the Board by the vote of a majority thereof. In considering whether to approve or ratify any related person transaction, the Audit Committee or the disinterested members of the Board, as the case may be, consider all relevant facts, including the size of the transaction and the amount payable to a related person, the nature of the interest of the related person in the transaction, whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest and whether terms of the transaction are fair to us.

The following is a summary of related person transactions since January 1, 2014, other than compensation arrangements with our directors and executive officers which are described in Item 11 of this Form 10-K/A. The related person transactions listed below were all approved by our Board.

Management Equity Interests in LG Aviv L.P. In connection with the elimination of dividend rights for options issued under our 2010 Management Incentive Plan in March 2013, holders of those options received a new class of units of LG Aviv, the legal entity through which Lindsay Goldberg holds its interest in AVIV, equal to the number of options held by such persons as of such date. Under the limited partnership agreement of LG Aviv, the units are entitled to receive an aggregate distribution amount equal to 14.9% of the dividend distributions declared and received by LG Aviv in respect of its shares of our common stock. The distribution amount will be paid ratably to each holder of such units on the distribution date in the proportion that the total number of units held by such holder bears to the total outstanding units of the same class. Any units payments will be paid if at all, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar quarter in which dividends were paid to our stockholders and (ii) three business days following the named executive officer’s termination of employment with us.

Registration Rights. Lindsay Goldberg, Mr. Bernfield and the Karkomi Affiliates have registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock that may be issued to them in connection with redemption of the OP units held by them. In January 2014, the SEC declared effective a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed under which the Karkomi Affiliates may sell shares of our common stock that are issued to them in connection with redemption of any of their OP units.

Security Deposit Indemnification Agreements. Prior to 2002, certain of the entities that were combined in connection with the formation of our predecessor partnership distributed security deposits paid by certain of their tenants to the owners of those entities in exchange for an agreement by those owners to repay the amounts distributed if and when the applicable tenant became entitled to a return of the security deposit or the deposit was otherwise applied under the applicable lease. These arrangements were kept in place in connection with the formation of our predecessor partnership. As of December 31, 2014, entities controlled by Mr. Bernfield were obligated to potentially reimburse approximately $292,000 and certain members of the Karkomi Affiliates were obligated to potentially reimburse approximately $1.7 million.

Norflower Acquisition. On April 4, 2014, we entered into an agreement to acquire four facilities, entitlements for an addition to one of the facilities and two parcels of land for a purchase price of approximately $94.3 million. Sidney and Evelyn Insoft, the parents of Steven Insoft, our President and Chief Operating Officer,

jointly hold a 50% equity interest in the sellers of the properties, representing a gross economic interest in the sale of approximately $47.1 million. We believe that the terms of the acquisition were fair and reasonable and reflect terms that we would expect to obtain in an arm’s length transaction for comparable properties.

Director Independence

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards require that at least a majority of our directors, and all of the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, be “independent.” The NYSE standards provide that, to qualify as an “independent” director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the Board must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). The Board has affirmatively determined that each of our directors, other than Mr. Bernfield, satisfies the bright-line independence criteria of the NYSE and that none has a relationship with us that would interfere with such person’s ability to exercise independent judgment as a member of the Board. Therefore, we believe that all of these directors, who constitute a majority of the Board, are independent under the NYSE rules. In making its determination that each of our directors other than Mr. Bernfield is independent, our Board considered (i) with respect to the directors affiliated with Lindsay Goldberg, the ownership of our common stock by an affiliate of Lindsay Goldberg and (ii) with respect to Mr. Bobins, (1) the fact that he serves as the non-executive chairman of The PrivateBank and Trust Company, one of the lenders under our revolving credit facility, (2) that, while he was serving as a member of the advisory board of our predecessor, he facilitated the introduction of our company to Lindsay Goldberg for which he received a cash payment from Lindsay Goldberg and a 1% profits interest in LG Aviv, the legal entity through which Lindsay Goldberg holds its interest in AVIV, and (3) the fact that he continues to serve as a consultant to Lindsay Goldberg.
