PROPOSAL 2 - ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


üThe Board recommends you vote FOR approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation.

In accordance with SEC rules, shareholders are being asked to approve, on an advisory or nonbinding basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

As described in detail under the heading “Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executives who have the motivation, experience and skills necessary to lead the Company effectively. Under these programs, the Named Executive Officers are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 32 and the tables that follow for additional details about the Company’s executive compensation programs, including information about the 2021 compensation of the Named Executive Officers.

Shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of shareholders by an approximate 93% affirmative vote. The Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers to help ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our shareholders’ interests and current market practices. As a result of its review process, the Compensation Committee:

lprovides a significant portion of each executive’s compensation as variable compensation through bonuses which are awarded based on achievement of pre-established performance goals; and

lgenerally provides more than half of each executive's total compensation in the form of long-term equity-based awards to more closely align the interests of the Company’s executives with those of its shareholders and to maximize retention through multi-year vesting schedules.

In addition, we are committed to good corporate governance to promote the long-term interests of shareholders. We have an independent Compensation Committee that has retained an independent compensation consultant, and we have adopted anti-hedging and clawback policies and share ownership guidelines for our Named Executive Officers.

The Company is asking shareholders to indicate their support for its Named Executive Officer compensation program as described in this proxy statement. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, the Company will ask its shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the annual meeting:

“RESOLVED, the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2021 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosures.”

This vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board, and will not be construed as overruling a decision by, or creating or implying an additional duty for, the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. The Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of shareholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Company will consider shareholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. The Company currently conducts annual advisory votes on executive compensation, and expects to conduct the next advisory vote at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders.

The proposal will be approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the key principles and factors underlying our executive compensation policies for ~~2019~~2021 for the Company’s Named Executive Officers, who ~~are:~~were:

l Chairman of the Board and CEO, Richard J. Campo;

l Executive Vice Chairman of the Board and President, D. Keith ~~Oden;~~Oden1;

l President and Chief Operating Officer, H. Malcolm ~~Stewart;~~Stewart2;

l Executive Vice ~~President-Finance, Chief~~President-Chief Financial Officer, and Assistant Secretary, Alexander J. Jessett; and

l Executive Vice President-Real Estate Investments, William W. Sengelmann.

1 On October 28, 2021, we announced D. Keith Oden was appointed as Executive Vice Chairman of the Board and President, effective December 31, 2021.

2 On October 28, 2021, we announced Laurie A. Baker was appointed as Executive Vice President-Chief Operating Officer following the retirement of H. Malcolm Stewart as President and Chief Operating Officer, effective December 31, 2021. Mr. Stewart received consideration in accordance with a Separation Agreement and General Release between Mr. Stewart and the Company. See further discussion below in the section "Annual Incentives" beginning on page 37.

Our shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation program at the ~~2019~~2021 annual meeting of shareholders by an approximate ~~92.4%~~93% affirmative vote. Based on this high level of support, the Compensation Committee did not change its general approach to executive compensation for ~~2019.~~2021. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcomes of our advisory say-on-pay proposals when making future compensation decisions for the Named Executive Officers.

Pay for Performance

“The compensation of our Named Executive Officers ~~should be and~~ is tied to those performance metrics we believe are most highly correlated to growth in long-term shareholder ~~value.~~value, while balancing the competitive nature of our industry for top talent, and the challenges of this past year relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Renu Khator, Compensation Committee Chair

At Camden, both the Board and our management team believe consistently strong operating results equate to long-term shareholder value creation. For ~~2019,~~2021, approximately ~~86.0%~~86% of Mr. Campo’s total compensation and approximately ~~83.5%~~86% of the total compensation for our other Named Executive Officers, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was not guaranteed but was tied directly to performance and/or the value of our shares, as depicted in the following pay mix charts.

(1)Includes Mr. Stewart's lump sum cash payment of $3.0 million he received pursuant to his separation agreement.

Key Executive Compensation Performance Metrics of Achievement

It is our goal to set challenging, yet achievable goals for our management team. The key performance metric achievements used to determine the performance award component of our executive compensation offor our Named Executive Officers for ~~2019~~2021 is listed below.



l			We consider FFO¹ to be a key metric. In ~~2019,~~2021, FFO per share totaled ~~$5.04 per diluted share. Excluding a one time $0.12 per share charge relating to early retirement of debt, FFO was $5.16~~$5.39 per diluted share, which was ~~within the range of~~above our original guidance of ~~$4.97~~$4.80 to ~~$5.17.~~$5.20.
l			Same Property NOI¹ growth illustrates our ability to grow in current markets. In ~~2019,~~2021, Same Property NOI growth was ~~4.7%~~4.8%, which was higher than our original guidance of ~~2.3%~~(2.7%) to ~~4.3%~~1.0%.
l			In an effort to maintain appropriate and manageable levels of debt, the Company utilizes the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA²Ratio as a key metric. In ~~2019,~~2021, our ratio was ~~3.9x, down from 4.1x in 2018.~~4.4x, which was better than our target of 5.2x.
l			We continually assess our properties and future growth opportunities. The performance of our individual properties is extremely important. As such, yields from stabilized ~~acquisitions~~acquisitions/developments are a key metric. In ~~2019,~~2021, the weighted average yields on our stabilized ~~new acquisitions~~development properties were ~~0.25%~~0.30% above our targeted pro forma.

¹A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO, diluted EPS to FFO diluted per share, net income to NOI and same property net operating income for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2021 is contained in either the Company’s ~~2019~~2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K ~~and/~~filed on February 17, 2022 or in its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on ~~January 30, 2020.~~February 3, 2022.

²Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is defined by the Company as the average notes payable less the average cash balance and short-term investments over the period (“Net Debt”) divided by Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), including net operating income from discontinued operations, excluding equity in (income) loss of joint ventures, (gain) loss on sale of unconsolidated joint venture interests, gain on acquisition of controlling interest in joint ventures, gain on sale of operating properties including land, net of tax, loss on early retirement of debt, and income (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2021 is contained in the Company's earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on ~~January 30, 2020.~~February 3, 2022.

Company’s Compensation Philosophy

Executive Compensation Objectives.

l	Attract, motivate, and retain Named Executive Officers who have the motivation, experience and skills necessary to lead the Company effectively and deliver on the Company’s profitability, growth, and total return to shareholder objectives; and


l	~~Link management’s success in enhancing long-term shareholder value, given market conditions, with executive compensation.~~

Mix of Compensation Elements. When setting compensation, the Compensation Committee seeks to achieve a balance between:

lFixed and variable pay;

lShort-term and long-term pay; and

lCash and equity.

As highlighted above, the mix of executive compensation elements for the Named Executive Officers is heavily weighted toward variable and equity-based compensation to align compensation with performance and the creation of shareholder value. In awarding annual incentives, the Compensation Committee sets financial and operating performance goals at the corporate level ~~and, for Named Executive Officers other than Messrs. Campo and Oden, also considers~~while considering individual performance assessments. ~~Given their overall responsibility for Company performance, the annual incentives for Messrs. Campo and Oden are based entirely on Company performance measures.~~

Determination of Compensation

Compensation Committee. Our executive compensation program is administered under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation, including related terms of employment agreements, for each of the Named Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee meets outside of the presence of management to discuss compensation decisions and matters relating to the development and implementation of executive compensation programs.

Except as otherwise noted in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, decisions by the Compensation Committee are subjective and the result of the Compensation Committee’s business judgment, which is informed by the experiences of the members of the Compensation Committee as well as analysis and input from, and comparable peer data provided by, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

Executive Officer Roles in Setting Compensation. Messrs. Campo and Oden make recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on the compensation philosophy and objectives set by the Compensation Committee as well as current business conditions. More specifically, for each Named Executive Officer, Messrs. Campo and Oden review competitive market data and recommend to the Compensation Committee performance measures and target goals for use under the Company's annual bonus program, in each case for the review, discussion, and approval of the Compensation Committee. For each Named Executive Officer other than themselves, Messrs. Campo and Oden also review the rationale and guidelines for compensation and annual share awards for the review, discussion, and approval of the Compensation Committee. Messrs. Campo and Oden may attend meetings of the Compensation Committee at the request of the Compensation Committee chair, but do not attend executive sessions and do not participate in any Compensation Committee discussions relating to the final determination of their own compensation.

Competitive Considerations. Salaries, annual bonus levels, and long-term incentive award grant levels for the Named Executive Officers are determined by the Compensation Committee based on its subjective evaluation of a variety of factors, including:


l			~~the nature and responsibility of the executive’s position;~~			2022 Proxy Statement 34


l			~~the impact, contribution, expertise, and experience~~ Table of ~~the individual Named Executive Officer;~~Contents

Camden operates and recruits talent across diverse markets and makes each compensation decision in the context of the particular situation, including the individual’s specific roles, responsibilities, qualifications, and experience. ~~The Company~~Camden takes into account information about the competitive market for executive talent, but because individual roles and experience levels vary among companies and Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee believes reviewing external compensation should be only one of a variety of factors for establishing compensation. Therefore, the Compensation Committee generally reviews information regarding competitive conditions from a variety of sources in making compensation decisions. These sources include reports of the Compensation Committee’s outside compensation consultant, NFP Compensation Consulting (formerly Longnecker & ~~Associates~~Associates) (“~~Longnecker~~NFPCC”), industry studies and compensation surveys as well as publicly-available information regarding a peer group of public REITs listed and discussed below. In reviewing these studies and surveys, the Compensation Committee considers aggregate information only and does not focus on any particular company within these studies and surveys (other than the peer companies specified below).

Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee retained ~~Longnecker,~~NFPCC, a consulting firm specializing in executive compensation and corporate governance, to provide advice on ~~the Company’s~~Camden’s executive compensation program for

In ~~2019, Longnecker’s~~2021, NFPCC’s services for the Compensation Committee included: (i) advising the Compensation Committee with regards to Company goal setting; (ii) advising the Compensation Committee with respect to determining the membership of the Company’s ~~2019~~2021 Peer Group, as described below; and (iii) advising the Compensation Committee with respect to the amount and form of compensation for the Named Executive Officers, as described below. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of ~~Longnecker~~NFPCC and believes its engagement of ~~Longnecker~~NFPCC raises no conflicts of interest with the Company or any of its Board members or executive officers.

Peer Group. The Compensation Committee, with the advice of ~~Longnecker,~~NFPCC, selected the companies identified in the chart below to make up the Company’s peer group considered by the Compensation Committee in making its executive compensation decisions ~~early in 2019,~~for 2021, including ~~in connection with reviewing 2019~~ salary and target bonus levels. The Compensation Committee selected these companies because they were public REITs the Compensation Committee considered to be similar to the Company when taking the following factors into account (in the aggregate, with no one factor being determinative): engaged in business in the same or similar markets as ~~the Company,~~Camden, revenue, market capitalization, target markets, asset quality, financial, and organization structure, as well as companies which potentially compete for executive talent.

~~when making executive annual bonus decisions for 2019 and when considering executive equity award grants in February 2020 as well as 2020 salaries.~~

Elements of Total Annual Direct Compensation

For the Named Executive Officers, we believe equity and performance-based compensation should be a higher percentage of total compensation than for other officers of the Company. We believe equity and performance-based compensation should be tied ~~directly~~ to achievement of strategic and financial goals and building long-term shareholder value. The performance of the Named Executive Officers has a strong and direct impact in achieving these goals.

In making decisions with respect to any element of a Named Executive Officer’s compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the total compensation which may be awarded to such officer, including salary, annual bonus, performance awards, and long-term incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee’s goal is to award compensation which is reasonable in relation to its compensation philosophy when all elements of potential compensation are considered.



Compensation Element			Purpose

Base Salary			Attract and retain high-performing leaders with a competitive level of fixed compensation that reflects responsibilities, experience, value to the Company, and demonstrated performance.

Annual ~~Incentive~~Incentives			Motivate executives to achieve financial and non-financial key performance objectives.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation			Align the interests of executives with shareholders by tying award values to long-term Company performance, while promoting retention and stability among the management team.

Base Salary

In reviewing and adjusting the base salary levels for the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers the factors discussed on page 2734 under Competitive Considerations.Merit-based increases in base salary may also be awarded to the Named Executive Officers from time to time based on ~~these factors as well as, with respect to Messrs. Campo and Oden, the achievement of Company-wide goals and, with respect to the other Named Executive Officers,~~ the achievement of Company-wide goals and individual goals which relate to their respective areas of responsibility.

~~2019~~2021 Increases. The Compensation Committee increased each Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary level in ~~2019.~~2021. The Compensation Committee determined these increases were reasonable based on its review of salary levels for similar positions in the peer group of companies in order to maintain competitive salary levels for the Named Executive Officers. The following table provides the ~~2018~~2020 and ~~2019~~2021 salaries for each Named Executive Officer.

Annual Incentives

Annual Bonus. The Compensation Committee has established a bonus target, as a percentage of base salary, for each Named Executive Officer. The ~~2019~~2021 target bonus percentage for each of Messrs. Campo and Oden was ~~250%~~300%, and the target bonus percentage for each of the other Named Executive Officers was 200%. In determining the target bonus for each Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee takes into account the factors discussed on page 2734 under Competitive



		~~2020 Proxy Statement 29~~



~~Table of Contents~~

Considerations. ~~The actual payout for each executive is based on Company and, for the Named Executive Officers other than Messrs. Campo and Oden, individual performance metrics, as discussed in detail below.~~ The maximum bonus that may be awarded to a Named Executive Officer is currently ~~150%~~175% of target bonus.

~~Each Named Executive Officer's 2019 target bonus percentage was the same as the officer's 2018 target bonus percentage.~~

To more fully tie compensation to long-term performance, Named Executive Officers may elect to receive up to 50% of their annual bonuses in Camden shares. To the extent a Named Executive Officer elects to receive shares, the price used to determine the number of shares is two-thirds of our share price at the time the shares are issued (i.e., the value of the shares at the time of grant is 150% of the value of the cash portion of the annual bonus the Named Executive Officer would have otherwise received). Historically, most Named Executive Officers have elected to receive the maximum 50% in shares (and all of the Named Executive Officers elected to receive the maximum in shares for ~~2019)~~2021, except for Mr. Stewart, who retired December 31, 2021), further tying each officer's compensation to longer term shareholder value creation. To provide an additional retention incentive, the shares issued pursuant to these grants vest 25% on the grant date and 25% on February 15^th of each of the next three years¹.

¹Subject to accelerated vesting upon recipient ~~attaining at least age 65 with ten or more years of service with the Company (~~"reaching Retirement ~~Eligible"~~),Eligibility, or as described in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

The annual bonus process for the Named Executive Officers involves the following basic steps:



Step 1 Set Company Financial Goals			The Compensation Committee discusses recommendations for financial performance measures and performance ranges for the Company with the Chairman of the Board/CEO and the Executive Vice Chairman of the Board and President, and then sets performance goals for the Company.

Step 2 Setting Other Performance Objectives			For Named Executive Officers other than Messrs. Campo and Oden, the Compensation Committee approves other performance objectives for the executive and his individual area of responsibility. These objectives take into account the recommendations of the Chairman of the Board/CEO and the Executive Vice Chairman of the Board and President and are intended to account for performance beyond purely financial measures.

Step 3 Setting Weightings of Goals and Objectives			The Compensation Committee approves the weightings of the financial goals and other performance objectives to help incentivize a high level of performance by the individual executive. These weightings take into account the recommendations of the Chairman of the Board/CEO and the Executive Vice Chairman of the ~~Board.~~Board and President.


						2022 Proxy Statement 37


Table of Contents


Step 4 Measuring Performance	After the end of the year, the Compensation Committee reviews actual performance against each of the financial goals and other performance objectives established at the outset of the year. In determining the extent to which the financial goals are met for a given period, the Compensation Committee exercises its judgment whether to reflect or exclude the impact of equity offerings, changes in accounting principles, and non-recurring, extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring events. Consistent with its philosophy that a higher percentage of the most senior Named Executive Officers’ compensation should be tied to Company performance measures, the higher the individual’s position, the more heavily the bonus opportunity is weighted by the Company’s performance.
	Messrs. Campo and Oden Mr. Stewart Messrs. Jessett and Sengelmann	100% Company performance 75% Company/25% Individual 50% Company/50% Individual

Step 5 Final Bonus Determination	The next step in the process is to determine each Named Executive Officer's actual bonus taking into account the Named Executive Officer's target bonus opportunity and actual performance results achieved for the year.

Performance Award. The compensation program provides for an additional award linked to corporate annual performance.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Purpose. The long-term incentive program provides annual awards in the form of share awards and/or share options, which vest over time, subject to Retirement Eligibility. The objective of the program is to align compensation for the Named



		~~2020 Proxy Statement 33~~



~~Table of Contents~~

Executive Officers over a multi-year period directly with the interests of shareholders by motivating and rewarding creation and preservation of long-term shareholder value. To further this objective, we have adopted Share Ownership Guidelines as described on page 1622 above that provide for the Named Executive Officers to own a specified level of our shares. In determining the levels of long-term incentives to award the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers the factors discussed on page 2734 under Competitive Considerations.

Equity-Based Awards. Share and option awards reward shareholder value creation in slightly different ways. Option awards (which have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant) reward the Named Executive Officers only if the share price increases from the date of grant. Share awards are impacted by all share price changes, so the value to the Named Executive Officers is affected by both increases and decreases in share price from the market price at the date of grant.

Long-Term Compensation Awards. In February ~~2020,~~2022, the Compensation Committee awarded share awards to each Named Executive Officer.

As described above, each Named Executive Officer, excluding Mr. Stewart, who retired on December 31, 2021, also elected to receive a portion of his annual bonus for ~~2019~~2021 in the form of a share award (with the balance of the bonus being paid in cash as reflected in the table on page 3946).

In February ~~2019,~~2021, the Compensation Committee also approved annual bonus and annual bonus share awards for each of the Named Executive Officers based on ~~2018~~2020 performance. These awards are described in the Company’s proxy statement for its ~~2019~~2021 annual meeting. Pursuant to SEC rules, the grant date fair values of the annual bonus and other share awards granted in February ~~2019~~2021 are included in the Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards tables below in this proxy statement as ~~2019~~2021 compensation.

Subject to the Retirement Eligible designation and the acceleration of awards as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below, (i) share awards made in ~~2019~~2021 and ~~2020~~2022 vest in three equal annual installments beginning on February 15^th in the year following the year of grant; and (ii) annual bonus share awards vest 25% immediately on the date of grant and 25% in three equal annual installments beginning on February 15^th in the year following the year of grant. As noted above, the price used to determine the number of shares subject to the annual bonus share awards is two-thirds of our share price at the time the shares are issued (i.e., the value of the shares at the time of grant is 150% of the value of the portion of the annual bonus the Named Executive Officer would have otherwise received if a cash payment had been elected).

~~2019~~2021 Compensation Decisions

The table below presents the ~~2019~~2021 compensation for each Named Executive Officer in the manner the Compensation Committee considers compensation for the Named Executive Officers, as explained below. This table differs from compensation reported in the ~~2019~~2021 Summary Compensation Table in that it reflects the value of our Named Executive Officers’ long-term equity incentive awards as compensation for the year immediately prior to the year in which they are granted, rather than the year in which they were granted (e.g., long-term compensation awards granted in February ~~2020~~2022 are shown in the table below as ~~2019~~2021 compensation) as the Compensation Committee considers them to be compensation for the just-completed year. While compensation reported in the ~~2019~~2021 Summary Compensation Table is useful, the disclosure rules of the SEC do not take into account the retrospective nature of our executive compensation program and therefore create a one-year lag between the value of our Named Executive Officers’ long-term compensation awards and the year to which the Compensation Committee believes they relate (e.g., long-term equity incentive awards granted in February ~~2020~~2022 will not, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, be shown in the Summary Compensation Table until our ~~2021~~2023 Proxy Statement as ~~2020~~2022 compensation).

~~(1)~~			~~The dollar amount reported is the aggregate grant date fair value of share awards granted in February 2020 computed in accordance with ASC 718,~~ ~~Compensation-Stock Compensation~~. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in note 11 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.			2022 Proxy Statement 42


~~(b)~~			~~Benefits: In the case~~ Table of ~~a termination due to disability, the Named Executive Officer will continue to receive all benefits provided under any long-term disability program of the Company.~~Contents


~~(c)~~	Vesting: Each executive will become fully vested in the unvested portion of any award made to the Named Executive Officer made with respect to any retirement, pension, profit sharing, long-term incentive or other similar plan.

~~(3)~~

In the case of Messrs. Campo, Oden and Stewart, the following benefits are triggered upon a change in control regardless of termination. In the case of all other Named Executive Officers, the following benefits are triggered upon termination by reason of a change in control (except in the case of vesting of awards). In the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, the following benefits are subject to the executive signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company:


~~(a)~~	Severance: In the case of Messrs. Jessett and Sengelmann, a lump sum equal to 2.99 times his respective average annual salary over the previous three taxable years and, in the case of Messrs. Campo, Oden and Stewart, a lump sum equal to 2.99 times the greater of his respective current annual total compensation or his average annual total compensation over the previous three taxable years.


~~(b)~~	Benefits: The Named Executive Officer will continue to receive health and welfare benefits, as if the Named Executive Officer had not been terminated, until one year after termination, subject to offset if the executive receives comparable benefits from a new employer during such period.


~~(c)~~	Vesting: Each executive will become fully vested in the unvested portion of any award made to the Named Executive Officer made with respect to any retirement, pension, profit sharing, long-term incentive or other similar such plans.


~~(4)~~	~~Pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Share Incentive Plan, as amended, in connection with a change in control, all unvested options and share awards will be fully vested.~~

~~(5)~~

The amounts represent the benefit of acceleration of unvested options and share awards based upon the Company’s share price as of December 31, 2019. For options, this value is calculated by multiplying the amount (if any) by which the closing price of our common shares on the last trading day of the fiscal year exceeds the exercise price of the award by the number of shares subject to the accelerated portion of the award. For share awards, this value is calculated by multiplying the closing price of our common shares on the last trading day of the fiscal year by the number of shares subject to the accelerated portion of the award.

~~(6)~~

The employment agreement for each of these Named Executive Officers provides that, if the payments and benefits received by the executive in connection with a change in control of the Company resulted in the imposition of excise taxes under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, the executive will be entitled to an additional payment from the Company such that the executive would receive the same amount on an after-tax basis as if the excise taxes had not applied.

CEO Compensation Pay Ratio

Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we are required to disclose in this proxy statement the ratio of the total annual compensation of ~~our~~Camden's CEO to the median of the total annual compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO). Based on SEC rules for this disclosure and applying the methodology described below, we have



		~~2020 Proxy Statement 46~~



~~Table of Contents~~

determined that our CEO’s total compensation for ~~2019~~2021 was ~~$4,053,465,~~$4,285,423, and the median of the total ~~2019~~2021 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) was ~~$54,107.~~$58,767. Accordingly, we estimate the ratio of our CEO’s total compensation for ~~2019~~2021 to the median of the total ~~2019~~2021 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) to be 7573 to 1.

We identified the median employee by taking into account the total cash compensation paid for ~~2019~~2021 for all individuals, excluding our CEO, who were employed by us or one of our affiliates on December 1, ~~2019,~~2021, the first day of the last month of our fiscal year. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis. We did not make any assumptions, adjustments, or estimates with respect to their total cash compensation for ~~2019,~~2021, and we did not annualize the compensation for any employees who were not employed by us for all of ~~2019.~~2021. We believe total cash compensation for all employees is an appropriate measure because we do not distribute annual equity awards to all employees.

Once the median employee was identified as described above, that employee’s total annual compensation for ~~2019~~2021 was determined using the same rules that apply to reporting the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (including our CEO) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The total compensation amounts included in the first paragraph of this pay-ratio disclosure were determined based on that methodology.

Equity Compensation Plans

~~The Company~~Camden currently maintains two active equity compensation plans: the 2018 Share Incentive Plan (the "2018 Share Plan") and the 2018 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the "2018 ESPP"). ~~The Company~~Camden also maintains the 2011 Share Incentive Plan (the "2011 Share Plan"), although no new awards may be granted under the 2011 Share Plan. Each of these plans has been approved by ~~the Company’s~~Camden’s shareholders. The following table gives information about ~~the Company's~~Camden's equity compensation plans as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2021.

~~PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF TRUST MANAGERS~~

In addition to fulfilling the criteria described above, each nominee also brings a strong background and set of skills to the Board, giving the Board as a whole competence and experience in a wide variety of areas, including corporate governance and Board service, executive management, education, media and technology enterprises, private equity investment, financial institutions and multifamily and related businesses. Set forth on the following pages are the conclusions reached by the Board with regard to its nominees.

There are currently eleven Trust Managers on the Board. William B. McGuire, Jr. will retire from the Board effective as of the time of the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders as a result of the Company's mandatory Trust Manager retirement policy. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board nominated, and the Board determined to recommend, each of the other ten current Trust Managers for election at the annual meeting. No nominee was selected for nomination at the 2020 annual meeting as a result of any arrangement or understanding between that nominee and any other person.

Trust managers elected at the meeting will hold office for a one-year term. Unless you withhold authority to vote for one or more nominees, the persons named as proxies intend to vote for election of the ten nominees.

All nominees have consented to serve as Trust Managers. The Board has no reason to believe any of the nominees will be unable to act as Trust Manager. However, if a Trust Manager is unable to stand for election, the Board may either reduce the size of the Board or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may designate a substitute.
