* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Following the gifts reported herein, Reporting Person continues to beneficially own 4,799,742 common stock equivalents, including common stock ("Common Stock") of Issuer, partnership common units ("OP Units") and long term incentive plan units ("LTIP Units") of Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (the "Operating Partnership"). Issuer is the sole stockholder of the general partner of the Operating Partnership. Upon vesting and certain additional criteria, each LTIP Unit can be converted into one OP Unit. Upon the occurrence of certain events, OP Units are redeemable and may be exchanged without consideration by the holder for an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock or for the cash value of such shares, at Issuer's option.
(2) Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own Common Stock including (i) an aggregate of 1,266,027 shares of Common Stock owned by the Emmett Trust, and (ii) 66,000 shares of Common Stock owned by certain trusts f/b/o Reporting Person's children (the "Children's Trusts") of which Reporting Person is a trustee with voting and investment power. Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Stock owned by the Children's Trusts, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest, if any, therein.
(3) LTIP Units granted pursuant to Issuer's 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. Upon vesting, each LTIP Unit can be converted into one OP Unit of the Operating Partnership, which is ultimately exchangeable into Common Stock of Issuer, only, if applicable, after a specified percentage increase in Gross Asset Values of the assets of the Operating Partnership. LTIP Units not converted into OP Units within 10 years of the grant date will be forfeited. Upon the occurrence of certain events, OP Units are redeemable by the holder, without consideration, for an equivalent number of shares of Issuer's Common Stock or for the cash value of such shares, at Issuer's election.
(4) LTIP Units vested 25% on December 31, 2017, with the remainder to vest in 25% increments on December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
(5) In addition to LTIP Units reported herein, Reporting Person's derivative securities include (i) 3,462,104 OP Units of which 810,126 OP Units are held by the Children's Trusts and a trust f/b/o the Reporting Person's spouse (collectively, the "Family Trusts") of which Reporting Person is a trustee, (ii) 3,169 LTIP Units granted under Issuer's 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and (iii) 2,442 LTIP Units granted under Issuer's 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan.
