Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

5.02(e): On March 6, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (the "Committee") of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (the "Trust") approved the adoption of the 2017 Executive Incentive Plan for the Trust's chief executive officer (the "CEO"), chief operating officer (the "COO") and the chief financial officer (the "CFO"). The individuals will participate in a short-term incentive program, based on the achievement of operating funds from operations per share, property acquisition and property disposition targets, subject to the Trust's achievement of a ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA below a specified threshold. The CEO will have a target short-term incentive opportunity equal to 125% of base salary, while the COO and CFO will each have a target opportunity equal to 75% of base salary.

Threshold payout (50% of target incentive), target payout (100% of target incentive) and maximum payout (200% of target incentive) will be determined by the Committee based on its assessment of the achievement of these performance goals. The operating funds from operations per share metric, the property acquisition metric and the property disposition metric shall account for 80%, 10% and 10% of the potential award, respectively.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the 2017 Executive Incentive Plan attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
