2020 Proxy Statement





A LETTER TO CAMDEN'S SHAREHOLDERS
from Our Board of Trust Managers




March 24, 20202023


Dear Fellow Shareholders:


As Camden’s Board, we are committed to representing and protecting your interests by providing strategic oversight of the Company’s Executive Management team, with a focus on long-term value creation. We believe the Company’s strong balance sheet, sound strategic business plan, solid operating performance, and the Company's culture and employees are all key factors in the Company’s continued success.


Our Board is comprised of a highly-qualified and experienced group of leaders, with the founders of the Company, Ric Campo and Keith Oden, complementing our independent Trust Managers. Good corporate governance, fostered by a high performing board culture, is vital to the Company and its shareholders, and we are committed to our Board being a strategic asset of the Company by ensuring each of our Board members brings a strong balance of varying perspectives, capabilities, skill sets, diversity, and experience to theirhis or her role. Our corporate governance policies provide that generally an independent Trust Manager will not be nominated for re-election as a Trust Manager following the Trust Manager's 75th birthday. As a result of this policy, William B. McGuire, Jr. will retire from the Board effective as of the time of the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders and, in anticipation of this retirement, Mark D. Gibson was appointed to the Board effective February 20, 2020. We encourage you to review the qualifications and backgrounds of our current nominees for election to the Board beginning on page 489 of this proxy statement.


Our Board believes that consistently strong operating results and a management team whose interests are aligned with those of our shareholders equate to long-term shareholder value creation.  Accordingly, we link, through our annual bonus program and the grant of performance and long-term equity-based incentive awards, a substantial portion of the compensation opportunities for our executive officers to performance and long-term shareholder value. 


We are committed to creating long-term value for Camden’s stakeholders, and integrating sustainable practices into our business. We continue to identify and implement innovative sustainable practices that support our communities, customers, residents and team members, while reducing our reliance on natural resources and reinforcing our commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen.

We appreciate and value your interest, investment and support. To the extent you have any thoughts, concerns or recommendations, they should be addressed to:


Lead Independent Trust Manager
Camden Property Trust
11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2400
Houston, TX 77046


Thank you for your confidence in us and your continued support of the Company.


Sincerely,
Camden’s Board of Trust Managers

20202023 Proxy Statement 1



Q&A WITH OUR LEAD INDEPENDENT TRUST MANAGER


What do you see as the Board's role?


The primary role of the Board is to provide strategic oversight of the Company’s Executive Management team and its strategic business plan, while always representing the best interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Board reviews the Company’s strategic plans, assesses and monitors risks that might impact the Company, and oversees the establishment and maintenance of appropriate financial and internal controls. While assuring thatseeking to preserve the very positive culture of outstanding corporate governance, is preserved, we are focused on regular,maintaining strong performance-related metrics, always mindful of the long-term goals and objectives of the Company and its shareholders.


What is the role as the Lead Independent Trust Manager?


A comprehensive list of the duties and responsibilities for this role is provided in the Company’s Guidelines on Governance, as well as on page 1120 of this proxy statement. The Lead Independent Trust Manager serves as the principal liaison between the Company’s Chairman of the Board/CEO and our independent Trust Managers, and presides at any meetings at which the Chairman is not present (including regular Executive Sessions of independent Trust Managers). In an effort to maintain a thoroughly engaged, high-performance Board, the Lead Independent Trust Manager takes a leadership role in identifying issues for the Board to consider and, working with the Chairman of the Board/CEO, establishes the agenda for each meeting; assuring that the Trust Managers have sufficient information, resources, background, and time to adequately discuss and review the various issues included in the agenda, or otherwise brought before the Board. I believe that it is important the Lead Independent Trust Manager help maintain the appropriate balance between the Board’s involvement in longer-term strategy and the Company’s operations, which are charged to our Executive Management team. The Lead Independent Trust Manager takes the primary role in providing feedback to the Company’s Chairman of the Board/CEO with respect to any issues or discussions which may occur in Executive Session without the presence of the Executive Management Team. In addition, as part of the Board's continuous improvement and evaluation process, the Lead Independent Trust Manager meets with each Independent Trust Manager to solicit input regarding any actions the Board and Trust Managers can take to elevate our performance. Camden is committed to effective shareholder communication and the Lead Independent Trust Manager serves as the primary contact for any shareholders wishing to communicate directly with the Board.


The Company’s Chief Executive Officer also serves as its Chairman of the Board. Do you believe that is an appropriate and effective structure for the Company?


We believe at the present time, combining the roles of Chairman and CEO, together with a strong Lead Independent Trust Manager, provides the appropriate leadership and oversight of the Company and facilitates the effective functioning of both the Board and the Executive Management team. The Board believes its responsibility to shareholders requires that the Board retain the flexibility to determine the best leadership structure for the Company under any set of circumstances and personnel. By making decisions based on context, the Board is better able to make determinations in the best interests of shareholders, including those related to the Company’s Board leadership structure.
Any Closing Thoughts?
On behalf of the entire Board, I want to express our dedication to maintaining an open dialog with shareholders, soliciting and considering your input and comments, with a further commitment to review our performance in an ongoing effort to identify and implement policies and practices which enable us to fulfill our oversight and other fiduciary responsibilities and enhance our corporate governance program as appropriate. We very much value your support and sincerely appreciate and thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in us.


Sincerely,

HUMAN CAPITAL MATTERS

       We strive to differentiate ourselves by our culture and talent. How we manage our human capital is critical to how we deliver on our strategy and create sustained growth and value for our shareholders. Our purpose is to improve the lives of our team members, customers, and shareholders, one experience at a time. We recognize a great culture is foundational to the success of this vision.

Key Human Capital Components
A Great Workplace
Camden is committed to creating a great working environment that fosters the well-being, health, and happiness of all associates. Our team members are given meaningful opportunities to provide feedback and effect change. 92% of our employees say Camden is a Great Place to Work.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

         We believe a great workplace fosters an environment where all employees can thrive and grow, and where differences are both encouraged and celebrated. Camden is taking a more intentional approach and has established a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion “DEI” Committee which is chaired by our Chairman of the Board and CEO. Each of our team members brings unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to Camden, and we continue to promote and encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization. Our commitment is to promote a diverse organization reflective of our residents and communities. We embrace all team members as full and valued members of the organization. Together we innovate, collaborate, and deliver consistently strong business results. Our continued commitment to furthering DEI initiatives has resulted in our workforce reflecting a broad base of talent, with true diversity amongst our team members in aspects of gender, generation, and ethnicity.


2022 NOTABLE RECOGNITIONS
Camden has been recognized as one of the best places to work both nationally and in many of our major markets. Our team members strive to achieve excellence every day and exhibit true teamwork in all they do.

Compensation & Benefits

      Camden has formal programs and benefits designed to retain team members and provide support as they navigate their personal and professional lives. To ensure we maintain our commitment to team members and compensation objectives, we participate in regular compensation and benefits surveys to see how we compare to other companies in our industry. Camden devotes a significant portion of its compensation resources to providing high-quality health benefits.

Training and Development
       One of our most cherished mantras is “never stop learning.” We encourage team members to discover their strengths and cultivate new interests. We offer tuition assistance to team members working to earn industry designations from various organizations and also support team members who continue their education at an accredited educational institution through our Education Assistance Program.

Community Engagement

         We have a passion for community service and giving back to the neighborhoods and cities in which we live and work. Camden’s volunteer spirit brings communities together and supports our goal to create Living Excellence. We established our Camden Cares program to provide assistance to charitable organizations through donations and volunteer hours, and we strive to have a positive impact on those around us. Our efforts focus on hunger and housing-related causes, as well as supporting community crisis centers, food banks, schools, and animal shelters.

SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

We are committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner, and we continue to identify and implement innovative sustainable practices that support our communities, customers, residents, and team members, while reducing our reliance on natural resources and reinforcing our commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen. Some of our key environmental initiatives focus on:

Reducing our energy usage and waste volumes
Conserving water, and evaluating renewable energy sources, which in turn reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint
Green building methods
Reducing carbon emissions associated with building materials
Climate change and resiliency

To help guide our sustainability commitment, we have established the following sustainability-related reduction goals by 2030 as compared to a 2020 baseline:

Procure 15% of electricity for common areas from renewable sources - Target Reached
Reduce common area GHG emissions by 15%
Reduce common area energy use by 15%
Reduce common area water use by 15%
Reduce landfill-bound waste by 15%

In 2022, we reached one of our targets by procuring at least 15% of electricity for common areas from renewable sources, and we continue to make progress toward the remaining goals and targets discussed above. Other environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") accomplishments and initiatives we implemented throughout 2022 include the following:
Earned an “A” grade for Public Reporting for the 2022 GRESB Real Estate Survey
Initiated requirement to obtain National Green Building Standards ("NGBS") on every new development project, and as of December 31, 2022, 23 apartment communities have achieved such green building certification
Installed solar panels at two communities in efforts to expand our on-site renewable energy, and we expect to generate approximately 1,074 MWh of energy annually with these new systems
Installed over 200 electric vehicle charging stations across our portfolio
We also recognize the importance of climate change and are committed to identifying, mitigating, and managing risks associated with climate change. We are actively addressing certain climate risks in a multitude of ways, including taking preventative measures for operating properties, making sustainability-related improvements when repositioning or redeveloping communities, and establishing appropriate risk-management practices and casualty insurance levels to cover potential damages.
More information on our ESG goals and initiatives can be found in our 2021-2022 Corporate Responsibility Report available on our website at www.camdenliving.com. Materials located on the Company’s website and referenced herein are not deemed to be part of this Proxy Statement and are not incorporated by reference.

The Board, through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, oversees Camden's sustainability strategies and initiatives. See page 18 for information regarding the Board's oversight of sustainability.

2 Net 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, 20192022 is contained in the Company's earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 30, 2020.February 2, 2023.

PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF TRUST MANAGERS
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board nominated each of the current Trust Managers for reelection at the annual meeting, and the Board recommends you vote FOR each of the following nominees.
üThe Board recommends you vote FOR each of the nominees listed.
Richard J. Campo
Renu Khator
Javier E. Benito
D. Keith Oden
Heather J. Brunner
Frances Aldrich Sevilla-Sacasa
Mark D. Gibson
Steven A. Webster
Scott S. Ingraham
Kelvin R. Westbrook

No nominee was selected for election at the 2023 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. To be elected, a nominee must receive a vote of the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting.
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. If a substitute nominee is named, the proxies will vote for the election of the substitute.
Trust Manager Qualifications. The Company’s Guidelines on Governance contain Board membership criteria which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses in evaluating nominees for a position on the Board. Under these criteria, a majority of the Board must be comprised of independent Trust Managers. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board to determinate the appropriate characteristics, skills, and experiences for the Board as a whole and its individual members with the objective of having a Board with diverse backgrounds and experience. Characteristics expected of each Trust Manager include integrity, high personal and professional ethics, sound business judgment, and the ability and willingness to commit sufficient time to the Board. In evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account an understanding of the Company’s business, including real estate markets generally, the development, ownership, operation and financing of multifamily communities, and various matters applicable to real estate investing and operations. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee supports the unique perspective leaders from other industries can bring to Camden. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers a number of other factors, including a general understanding of business operations, finance and other disciplines relevant to the success of a large publicly-traded company in today’s business environment, educational and professional background, personal accomplishment, and geographic, gender, age, and ethnic diversity. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group which can best perpetuate the success of the Company’s business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each incumbent Trust Manager on an annual basis to determine whether he or she should be nominated to stand for reelection, based on the types of criteria outlined above as well as the Trust Manager’s contributions to the Board during his or her current term.
Identifying and Evaluating Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses whether any vacancies on the Board are expected. In the event vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will use a variety of methods to identify and evaluate nominees for Trust Manager. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates to the Board. Following verification of the shareholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations will be aggregated and considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at a
cpt-20230321_g4.jpg
2023 Proxy Statement 9


regularly scheduled meeting, which is generally the first meeting prior to the issuance of the proxy statement for the Company’s annual meeting. If any materials are provided by a shareholder in connection with the nomination of a Trust Manager candidate, such materials will be forwarded to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also review materials provided by professional search firms or other parties, and/or utilize the findings or recommendations of a search committee composed of other Trust Managers, in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a shareholder. In evaluating such nominations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board.
Limits on Service on Other Boards. In the Company’s Guidelines on Governance, the Board recognizes its members benefit from service on the boards of other companies. The Board encourages this service but also believes it is critical Trust Managers have the opportunity to dedicate sufficient time to their service on Camden’s Board. To this end, the Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide employee Trust Managers may not serve on more than two public company boards in addition to Camden’s Board. Neither of Camden’s two employee Trust Managers currently serve on other public company boards. Individuals who serve on five or more other public company boards will not normally be asked to join Camden's Board and individuals who serve on more than two other public company audit committees will not normally be asked to join Camden’s Audit Committee unless, in any such case, the Board determines such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such individual to effectively serve on Camden’s Board or Camden’s Audit Committee.
Board Refreshment. To help facilitate the periodic refreshment of our Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly works with the Board to review the characteristics, skills, and experiences that it believes are desirable to be represented on the Board. On an annual basis, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also evaluate each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of Trust Managers which can best perpetuate the success of the Company and assessing whether there are gaps on the Board that need to be filled. These conversations, as well as the annual Board and committee self-evaluations, aim to increase Board effectiveness and inform Board refreshment efforts. The Board also enables planned refreshment through its maintenance of a mandatory retirement age for directors as discussed below. This refreshment process resulted in two new independent Trust Managers added to the Board in 2017, one new independent Trust Manager added to the Board in 2020, and one new independent Trust Manager added to the Board in 2022.
Term Limits; Retirement Age. Trust Managers hold office for one-year terms. The Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide, as a general matter, independent Trust Managers will not stand for election to a new term of service at any annual meeting following their 75th birthday. The Board may approve exceptions to this practice when it believes it is in Camden's interest to do so. The Board does not believe it should establish term limits for Trust Manager service, instead preferring to rely upon the mandatory retirement age and the evaluation procedures described above as the primary methods of ensuring each Trust Manager continues to act in a manner consistent with the best interests of Camden, its shareholders, and the Board. The Board believes term limits have the disadvantage of losing the contribution of Trust Managers who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight into the Company and its operations and, therefore, provide an increasing contribution to the Board as a whole.
Shareholder Recommended Director Candidates. The policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to consider all properly submitted shareholder recommendations for candidates for membership on the Board. In evaluating such recommendations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board and to address the membership criteria described above under “Trust Manager Qualifications.” The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply the same criteria to all candidates it considers, including any candidates recommended by shareholders. Any Trust Manager candidate recommended for consideration to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by a shareholder should include the name and qualifications for Board membership of the individual being recommended as a Trust Manager candidate and should be addressed to the corporate secretary at the address listed below. Shareholders recommending candidates for consideration by the Board in connection with the next annual meeting of shareholders should submit their written recommendation no later than January 1 of the year of that meeting.

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, marketing, media and technology enterprises, private equity investment, financial institutions, and multifamily and related businesses.

GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY
Board Independence and Meetings


The Board believes the purpose of corporate governance is to ensure Camden maximizes shareholder value in a manner consistent with legal requirements and the highest standards of integrity. The Board has adopted and adheres to corporate governance practices the Boardit believes promotepromotes this purpose, are sound, and represent best practices. The Board continually reviews these governance practices, the rules and listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations, as well as best practices suggested by recognized governance authorities.
Currently, the Board has eleven members from which our Board has selected ten nominees for election at the annual meeting, including nine who are seeking reelection and Mr. Gibson who is standing for election by our shareholders for the first time. Mr. McGuire will retire from the Board effective at the timemembers, each of the annual meeting in connection with the Company’s corporate governance policy providing generally that independent Trust Managers will not bewhom has been nominated for re-election as a Trust Manager following their 75th birthday. The Board will reducereelection to the size of the Board to ten members effective immediately following Mr. McGuire’s resignation from the Board.

To determine which of its members are independent, the Board used the independence standards adopted by the NYSE for companies listed on the NYSE and also considered whether a Trust Manager had any other past or present relationships with the Company which created conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts of interest. The Board determined no Trust Manager, other than Richard J. Campo and D. Keith Oden, each of whom is employed by the Company, has any material relationship with the Company under the NYSE standards. As a result, the Company has a majority of independent Trust Managers on its Board as required by the listing requirements of the NYSE.

Board Oversight of Risk

A central focus for our Board is oversight of our corporate strategy and management’s execution of such strategy. The Board believes this is a continuous process which requires regular attention from the full Board as well as each Board committee. This ongoing effort involves the direct oversight by the Board of strategic risks to the Company and focuses the Board on the Company’s operational and financial performance over the short, intermediate and long term. Management regularly provides updates on risk management to the Audit Committee and the entire Board, and the Board regularly discusses the most significant market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks the Company is facing.

The Board relies upon senior management to supervise risk management activities within the Company. Senior management is responsible for developing a continuously improving culture of risk-aware practices to identify and manage the appropriate level of risk in pursuit of the Company’s business objectives. Senior management is supported by the Company’s compliance organization led by the Chief Compliance Officer (who is also the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who reports to the Executive Vice Chairman of the Board and President), internal audit and external audit reviews, and the Company’s legal department, all of whom meet quarterly with the Audit Committee without other members of management present to report on these and other matters affecting the Company’s systems of disclosure controls and procedures.

At least quarterly, the Board and its committees engage with senior management and other members of management as well as subject matter experts from across the Company on risk as part of broad strategic and operational discussions, as well as on a risk-by-risk basis, to drive the identification, prioritization, and mitigation of the Company's most significant risks. During 2022, the Board received an update on the Company’s investments in the technology field and the Company’s Innovation Council focusing on new technology benefiting the multifamily industry; reviewed an overview of the functions and responsibilities of the Company’s legal department; evaluated the processes, procedures, controls, and tools utilized by the Company’s Finance and Treasury departments; and received updates on the resilience and security of the Company’s information technology systems, among other matters. The Board also received regular email updates from management between meetings. Enhanced oversight standards are utilized based on the immediacy of the risk assessed. For example, as all enterprises currently face IT and cybersecurity risk, the Board regularly discusses incidents throughout the industry and the emerging threat landscape, and receives regular updates from management regarding cybersecurity processes, the status of projects to strengthen cybersecurity and the results of security breach simulations. The Board and its committees and management may consult with outside advisors and experts to anticipate future threats and trends.

Although the entire Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management, the Audit Committee charter provides for the Audit Committee to discuss with management guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk
cpt-20230321_g4.jpg
2023 Proxy Statement 17

assessment and risk management is handled, including the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Audit Committee also discusses with management the processes undertaken to evaluate the Company’s systems of disclosure controls and procedures, including those relating to risk management. In addition, each of the Board committees considers the risks within its area of responsibilities. For example, the Compensation Committee considers the risks which may be associated with the Company's executive compensation programs and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers ESG best practices.

Board Oversight of Human Capital Management

The Board, through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, plays an active role as part of their ESG responsibilities in overseeing the Company’s human capital management, culture and talent development initiatives to better support our workforce. The Board and management strive to foster a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment for all employees and believe the Company’s corporate initiatives support this vision. The Board’s oversight activities in this area include, but are not limited to, the review of CEO and executive officer succession planning, and review of diversity and other employee metrics. See "Proxy Summary - Human Capital Matters" on page 4 for summary of current initiatives.

Board Oversight of Sustainability

The Board and management recognize the importance of minimizing Camden's environmental impact and maximizing our positive corporate social responsibility. Camden's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing our sustainability programs pursuant to its charter. Camden's Sustainability Committee also plays a lead role in overseeing strategies, policies, programs, and activities regarding ESG matters. The Sustainability Committee is chaired by our Chairman of the Board and CEO, Mr. Campo, and led by senior executives with responsibilities for implementing sustainable practices across our operations. The Board receives periodic updates regarding strategy, performance metrics, initiatives and related results. The Board and Camden are committed to creating value and making a positive and lasting impact for our employees, customers, shareholders, and community. We issue an annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which outlines the programs and initiatives in place supporting ESG matters, as well as the work we are doing to drive meaningful change socially, economically, and environmentally. In our Corporate Responsibility Report, we cover a broad range of topics, including actions we have taken to create a supportive, ethical, and equitable culture for our employees, invest in and care for our communities, protect the security of our and our residents’ data, increase our engagement and alignment with our shareholders, operate in an environmentally responsible manner, and support our employees and customers. See "Proxy Summary - Sustainability Commitment" on page 5 for summary of current initiatives.

To learn more about Camden's ESG efforts, we encourage you to review the full version of our Corporate Responsibility Report, which can be found in the Investors’ section of our website, www.camdenliving.com. Materials located on the Company’s website and referenced herein are not deemed to be part of this Proxy Statement and are not incorporated by reference.

Board Leadership Structure;Structure

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to maintain a Board Role in Risk Oversightthat as a whole possesses the objectivity and the mix of skills and experience to provide comprehensive and effective oversight of Camden’s strategic, operational, and compliance risks. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that ongoing board refreshment is important to maintain an appropriate mix of skills and provide fresh perspectives while leveraging the institutional knowledge and historical perspective of the Board’s longer-tenured Trust Managers. In keeping with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s overall strategy for Trust Manager succession and the appointment of new Board members, since 2017 the Board has added four new independent Trust Managers.


The Board is comprised of members with varying ethnic and professional backgrounds. We are proud to have a diverse Board comprised of 30% female members. The chair of each of the Company’s three independent committees is female.

Of the eight independent Trust Managers nominated for election at the annual meeting, fourthree are currently serving or have served as a CEO and/or chairmanchair of the board of public companies. With respect to the Company’s fourfive other

independent Trust Manager nominees, one was the founder and has been the CEO or senior executive of large media companies, one has been a senior executive of an international financial institution and has been the dean of a large public school of business administration,one is a senior executive of an international restaurant corporation operating under numerous consumer brands, one is the CEO and Chairwoman of a privately-held technology company, and one is the Chancellor of a large public university system. Accordingly, we believe all of the Company’sCamden’s independent Trust Manager nominees have demonstrated leadership in large enterprises and are familiar with board processes. For additional information about the backgrounds and qualifications of the Trust Manager nominees, see “Proposal 1 - Election of Trust Managers” in this proxy statement.the discussion starting on page 9.

The Board currently has three committees comprised solely of independent Trust Managers - Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Audit - with each having a separate chair. Among various other duties set forth in the applicable committee charters, (a) the Compensation Committee oversees the annual performance evaluation of the Company’s Chairman of the Board and CEO, Executive Vice Chairman of the Board and President, and the other Named Executive Officers; (b) the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for Company succession planning and monitors Board performance, ESG best practices, in corporate governance and the composition of the Board and its committees; and (c) the Audit Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes as well as legal, compliance and risk management matters. The chair of each of these committees is responsible for directing the work of the applicable committee in fulfilling these responsibilities.
The entire Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management; however, the Audit Committee charter provides for the Audit Committee to discuss with management guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is handled, including the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. Management regularly provides updates on risk management to the Audit Committee and the entire Board, and the Board regularly discusses the most significant market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks the Company is facing. The Board also engages in regular discussions regarding risk management and related matters with the Company’s CEO, Executive Vice Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other officers as the Board may deem appropriate.

camdenfooterlogoa06.jpg
2020 Proxy Statement 10



In addition, each of the Board committees considers the risks within its area of responsibilities. For example, the Compensation Committee considers the risks which may be associated with the Company's executive compensation programs. We believe the leadership structure of the Board supports the Board’s effective oversight of risk management.
In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and Guidelines on Governance, the Board is responsible for selecting the CEO and the Chairman of the Board. The Company’s Bylaws provide the Board will annually select the Chairman of the Board based upon such criteria as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board recommends and the Trust Managers believe to be in the best interests of the Company at a given point in time, and this process will include consideration of whether the roles of Chairman of the Board and CEO should be combined or separated based upon the Company’s needs and the strengths and talents of our executives at any given time.
Since the Company’s IPO in 1993, the Company’sCamden’s Chairman of the Board has also served as its CEO. Over this period, Mr. Campo has held both of these positions, and Mr. Oden has served either as President or Executive Vice Chairman of the Board (he currently fills both roles), and in each position has responsibility for the management of the Company’sCamden’s operations. Messrs. Campo and Oden are the Company’sCamden’s co-founders and have partnered to lead the Company’sCamden’s growth and success. Having Mr. Campo serve as both Chairman of the Board and CEO has eliminated the potential for confusion or duplicated efforts. TheTo ensure robust independent leadership on the Board, the Company’s Guidelines on Governance require the appointment of a Lead Independent Trust Manager. Manager to facilitate the Board’s independent oversight of management, promote communication between management and the Board, and support the Board’s consideration of key governance matters. The Board believes its current leadership structure is appropriate because it effectively allocates authority, responsibility, and oversight between management and the independent members of the Board by giving primary responsibility for the operational leadership and strategic direction of the Company to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, while enabling the Lead Independent Trust Manager to facilitate the Board’s independent oversight of management, promote communication between management and the Board, and support our Board’s consideration of key governance matters.
The Lead Independent Trust Manager is elected annually by our independent Trust managers. We believe the Company has been well-served by this leadership structureManagers. The Board’s independent Trust Managers have elected Kelvin R. Westbrook as Lead Independent Trust Manager. In his role, Mr. Westbrook leverages his deep understanding of our business to identify key risks and having one person serve as CEOmitigation approaches, with authority to require Board consideration and Chairmanapproval of the Board, coupled with athese risk matters. The Lead Independent Trust Manager is best for the Company and our shareholders.
Underalso regularly reviews the Company’s Bylaws and Guidelinescorporate governance framework based on Governance,shareholder feedback, results from the Chairman ofannual shareholder meeting, the Board is responsible for chairingand committees’ annual assessments, governance best practices, and regulatory developments to ensure the Board has the authority and practices in place to review and evaluate the Company’s business operations and to make decisions independent of management. This framework establishes the practices the Board follows with respect to, among other things, Board and committee composition and member selection, Board meetings and annual shareholder meetings, setting the agendas for these meetings in consultation with the Lead Independentinvolvement of senior management, Trust Manager compensation, CEO performance evaluation, and providing information to Board members in advance of and between Board meetings. Under the Company’s Guidelines on Governance, any Board member may recommend the inclusion of specific agenda items to the Chairman of the Board, the Lead Independent Trust Manager, or the appropriate committee chair and such recommendations will be accommodated to the extent practicable. management succession planning.

Under the Company’s Guidelines on Governance, the Lead Independent Trust Manager is responsible forhas the following:
following specific responsibilities:
lpresiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present;
lconvening, developing the agenda for and presiding at executive sessions of the independent Trust Managers, and taking the lead role in communicating to the Chairman of the Board any feedback, as appropriate;
lassisting in the recruitment of Board candidates;

Executive Sessions
Pursuant to the Company’s Guidelines on Governance, our independent Trust Managers have regularly scheduled executive sessions in which they meet without the presence of management or employee Trust Managers. These executive sessions typically occur before or after each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. Any independent Trust Manager may request an additional executive session to be scheduled. The Lead Independent Trust Manager presides over these executive sessions. We believe the responsibilities assigned to the Lead Independent Trust Manager are consistent with generally accepted requirements for a “countervailing governance structure” when a company does not have an independent board chairman.
We believe, in addition to fulfilling the Lead Independent Trust Manager responsibilities, the Trust Managers who have served as Lead Independent Trust Manager have made valuable contributions to the Company. The following have been among the most important contributions of the Lead Independent Trust Manager:
l
lmonitoring the performance of the Board and developing a high-performing Board by helping the Trust Managers reach consensus, keeping the Board focused on strategic decisions, taking steps to ensure all the Trust Managers are contributing to the work of the Board, and coordinating the work of the Board committees;
ldeveloping a productive relationship with the Chairman of the Board/CEO and ensuring effective communication between the Chairman of the Board/CEO and the Board; and
lsupporting effective shareholder communications.

2023 Proxy Statement 20

As part of the review of the Company’sCamden’s corporate governance and succession planning, the Board (led by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee) annually evaluates the Board leadership structure to ensure it remains the optimal structure for the CompanyCamden and its shareholders.
Board leadership structures may be appropriate for companies with different histories and cultures, as well as companies with varying sizes and performance characteristics. Our CEO serves as Chairman of the Board but the Board committees (other than the Executive Committee) are composed of and chaired solely by independent Trust Managers. In addition, our Lead Independent Trust Manager assumes specified responsibilities on behalf of the independent Trust Managers. We believe this is the optimal board leadership structure for the CompanyCamden and our shareholders.
Board Meetings and Board Committees


All of the Trust Managers attended 75%80% or more of meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served during 2019.2022. We encourage all of our Trust Managers standing for reelection to attend the annual meeting of shareholders and alleach of our Trust Managers who served during 2019standing for reelection were present at last year’s annual meeting.
The following table identifies each committee of the Board, its members during 2019,2022, its key functions, and the number of meetings held during 2019.2022. Each member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees satisfies the applicable independence requirements of applicable law, the SEC, and NYSE.

Consideration of Trust Manager Nominees

Shareholder Recommended Director Candidates. The policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to consider all properly submitted shareholder recommendations for candidates for membership on the Board. In evaluating such recommendations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board and to address the membership criteria described below under “Trust Manager Qualifications.” The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply the same criteria to all candidates it considers, including any candidates recommended by shareholders. Any Trust Manager candidate recommended for consideration to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by a shareholder should include the name and qualifications for Board membership of the individual becoming recommended as a Trust Manager candidate and should be addressed to the corporate secretary at the address listed below. Shareholders recommending candidates for consideration by the Board in connection with the next annual meeting of shareholders should submit their written recommendation no later than January 1 of the year of that meeting.
Corporate Secretary

Houston, Texas 77046

Shareholders who wish to nominate a person for election as a Trust Manager in connection with an annual meeting of shareholders (as opposed to making a recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate
Additional Governance committee as described above) must deliver written notice to our Corporate Secretary in the manner described in Section 3.4 of Article III of the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws and within the time periods set forth at the end of this Proxy Statement under the section “Shareholder Proposals and Trust Manager Nominations.”Matters
Identifying and Evaluating Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses whether any vacancies on the Board are expected. In the event vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will use a variety of methods to identify and evaluate nominees for Trust Manager. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates to the Board. Following verification of the shareholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations will be aggregated and considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting, which is generally the first meeting prior to the issuance of the proxy statement for the Company’s annual meeting. If any materials are provided by a shareholder in connection with the nomination of a Trust Manager candidate, such materials will be forwarded to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also review materials provided by professional search firms or other parties, and/or utilize the findings or recommendations of a search committee composed of other Trust Managers, in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a shareholder. In evaluating such nominations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will seek to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience, and capability on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee followed these procedures as well as the criteria described below in connection with the appointment of Mark D. Gibson as Trust Manager. Mr. Gibson was initially identified as a potential Trust Manager candidate separately by D. Keith Oden and Scott S. Ingraham.
Trust Manager Qualifications. The Company’s Guidelines on Governance contain Board membership criteria which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses in evaluating nominees for a position on the Board. Under these criteria, a majority of the Board must be comprised of independent Trust Managers. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board to determinate the appropriate characteristics, skills, and experiences for the Board as a whole and its individual members with the objective of having a Board with diverse backgrounds and experience. Characteristics expected of each Trust Manager include integrity, high personal and professional ethics, sound business judgment, and the ability and willingness to commit sufficient time to the Board. In evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account an understanding of the Company’s business, including real estate markets generally, the development, ownership, operation and financing of multifamily communities, and various matters applicable to real estate investing and operations. However, the Nominating and Corporate

Governance Committee supports the unique perspective leaders from other industries can bring to the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers a number of other factors, including a general understanding of business operations, finance and other disciplines relevant to the success of a large publicly-traded company in today’s business environment, educational and professional background, personal accomplishment, and geographic, gender, age and ethnic diversity. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group which can best perpetuate the success of the Company’s business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each incumbent Trust Manager on an annual basis to determine whether he or she should be nominated to stand for reelection, based on the types of criteria outlined above as well as the Trust Manager’s contributions to the Board during his or her current term. See the discussion starting on page 48 for a description of the key qualifications of each nominee.

Limits on Service on Other Boards. In the Company’s Guidelines on Governance, the Board recognizes its members benefit from service on the boards of other companies. The Board encourages this service but also believes it is critical Trust Managers have the opportunity to dedicate sufficient time to their service on Camden’s Board. To this end, the Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide employee Trust Managers may not serve on more than two public company boards in addition to Camden’s Board. Neither of the Company’s two employee Trust Managers currently serve on other public company boards. Individuals who serve on five or more other public company boards will not normally be asked to join Camden's Board and individuals who serve on more than two other public company audit committees will not normally be asked to join Camden’s Audit Committee unless, in any such case, the Board determines such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such individual to effectively serve on Camden’s Board or Camden’s Audit Committee.
Board Refreshment. To help facilitate the periodic refreshment of our Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly works with the Board to review the characteristics, skills, and experiences that it believes are desirable to be represented on the Board. On an annual basis, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of Trust Managers which can best perpetuate the success of the Company and assessing whether there are gaps on the Board that need to be filled. These conversations, as well as the annual Board and committee self-evaluations, aim to increase Board effectiveness and inform Board refreshment efforts. The Board also enables planned refreshment through its maintenance of a mandatory retirement age for directors as discussed below. This refreshment process resulted in two new independent Trust Managers added to the Board in 2017 and one new independent Trust Manager added to the Board in 2020.
Term Limits; Retirement Age. Trust Managers hold office for one-year terms. The Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide, as a general matter, non-employee Trust Managers will not stand for election to a new term of service at any annual meeting following their 75th birthday. As a result of this practice, Mr. McGuire is retiring from the Board effective as of the time of the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. The Board may approve exceptions to this practice when it believes it is in the Company’s interest to do so.
The Board does not believe it should establish term limits for Trust Manager service, instead preferring to rely upon the mandatory retirement age and the evaluation procedures described above as the primary methods of ensuring each Trust Manager continues to act in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Company, its shareholders, and the Board. The Board believes term limits have the disadvantage of losing the contribution of Trust Managers who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight into the Company and its operations and, therefore, provide an increasing contribution to the Board as a whole.
Guidelines on Governance and Codes of Ethics


The Board has adopted Guidelines on Governance to address significant corporate governance issues, which guidelines are available on the Investors' section of the Company’s website at www.camdenliving.com. These guidelines provide a framework for the Company’sCamden’s corporate governance initiatives and cover a variety of topics, including the role of the Board, Board selection and composition, Board committees, Board operation and structure, Board orientation and evaluation, Board planning and oversight functions, and share ownership of certain officers. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing the guidelines and reporting and recommending to the Board any changes to the guidelines.
The Board has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is designed to help officers, Trust Managers, and employees resolve ethical issues in an increasingly complex business environment, which is available on the Investors'

BOARD COMPENSATION
We use a combination of cash and share-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board. In setting Board compensation, the Board considers the significant amount of time Trust Managers expend in fulfilling their duties as well as the skill level required by members of the Board.
During 2019,2022, we paid each non-employeeindependent Trust Manager who served during the year an annual fee of $65,000.$80,000. A Trust Manager may elect to receive his or her annual fee in Camden shares. To the extent a Trust Manager 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 the Trust Manager would have otherwise received). These shares will vest 25% on date of grant and 25% in each of the next three years, subject to accelerated vesting upon the Trust Manager reaching the age of 65 years. In addition, during 20192022 each non-employeeindependent Trust Manager who served duringwas elected or re-elected to the yearBoard at the 2022 Annual Meeting received a fully-vested share award with a market value on the date of grant of approximately $100,000.

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 33 and the tables that follow for additional details about the Company’s executive compensation programs, including information about the 2022 compensation of the Named Executive Officers.
Shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders by an approximate 91% 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 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2022 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 2024 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 20192022 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;
l President and Chief Operating Officer, H. Malcolm Stewart;
l Executive Vice President-Finance, ChiefPresident-Chief Financial Officer, and Assistant Secretary, Alexander J. Jessett;
l Executive Vice President-Chief Operating Officer, Laurie A. Baker; and
l Executive Vice President-Real Estate Investments, William W. Sengelmann.

Our shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation program at the 20192022 annual meeting of shareholders by an approximate 92.4%91% affirmative vote. Based on this high level of support, the Compensation Committee did not change its general approach to executive compensation for 2019.2022. 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.
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 2019,2022, approximately 86.0%89% of Mr. Campo’s total compensation and approximately 83.5%84% 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.

2023 Proxy Statement 33




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 executive compensation offor our Named Executive Officers for 2019 is2022 are listed below.
l
We consider FFO1 to be a key metric. In 2019,2022, 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$6.59 per diluted share, which was within the rangeabove our target of our original guidance of $4.97 to $5.17.$6.41.
l
Same Property NOI1 growth illustrates our ability to grow in current markets. In 2019,2022, Same Property NOI growth was 4.7%14.6%, which was higher than our original guidance of 2.3%10.5% to 4.3%13.5%.
l
In an effort to maintain appropriate and manageable levels of debt, the Company utilizes the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA2 Ratio as a key metric. In 2019,2022, our ratio was 3.9x, down from 4.1x, in 2018.which was better than our target of 4.3x.
lWe continually assess our properties and future growth opportunities. The performance of our individual properties is extremely important. As such, yields from stabilized acquisitionsacquisitions/developments are a key metric. In 2019,2022, the weighted average yields on our stabilized new acquisitionsdevelopment properties were 0.25%0.34% above our targeted pro forma.
In addition to the key performance metrics discussed above, for Named Executive Officers other than Messrs. Campo and Oden, individual goals were established based on the individual’s business function, leadership and the Company’s strategic goals and initiatives, and the achievement of these goals was part of the determination of their annual bonuses as discussed below under “Elements of Total Annual Direct Compensation-Annual Incentives-Annual Bonus.” Individual goals were not established for Messrs. Campo or Oden given their responsibility for the overall operations and performance of the Company.

1 A 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, 20192022 is contained in either the Company’s 20192022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and/filed on February 23, 2023 or in its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 30, 2020.February 2, 2023.


2 Net 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, 20192022 is contained in the Company's earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 30, 2020.February 2, 2023.



Company’s Compensation Philosophy
Executive Compensation Objectives.
lSupport the Company’s business strategy and business plan by clearly communicating what is expected of Named Executive Officers with respect to goals and results and by rewarding achievement;
lAttract, 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
lLink 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;
l
cpt-20230321_g4.jpg
Fixed and variable pay;2023 Proxy Statement 34

lShort-term and long-term pay; and
lCash and equity.
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 considerswhile 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:
lthe nature and responsibility of the executive’s position;

lthe impact, contribution, expertise, and experience of the individual Named Executive Officer;

lthe importance of retaining the individual along with the competitiveness of the market for the individual Named Executive Officer’s talent and services;

linternal equity relative to compensation among the Named Executive Officers and external equity relative to compensation of executives in similar positions with the peer group companies discussed below; and

lthe recommendations of Messrs. Campo and Oden (as to the other Named Executive Officers).

The Companyl    the nature and responsibility of the executive’s position;

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

l    the importance of retaining the individual along with the competitiveness of the market for the individual Named Executive Officer’s talent and services;

l    internal equity relative to compensation among the Named Executive Officers and external equity relative to compensation of executives in similar positions with the peer group companies discussed below; and

l    the recommendations of Messrs. Campo and Oden (as to the other Named Executive Officers).

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 CompanyCamden 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
cpt-20230321_g4.jpg
2023 Proxy Statement 35

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, Longnecker & AssociatesNFP Compensation Consulting (“LongneckerNFPCC”), 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’sCamden’s executive compensation program for

2019. 2022. Neither LongneckerNFPCC nor any of its affiliates provided any services to the CompanyCamden or any of its affiliates during 20192022 except for the executive compensation consulting services provided to the Compensation Committee. In 2019, Longnecker’s2022, 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 20192022 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 LongneckerNFPCC and believes its engagement of LongneckerNFPCC 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 2022, 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 as further described below are considered.
Compensation ElementPurpose
Compensation ElementPurpose
Base SalaryAttract and retain high-performing leaders with a competitive level of fixed compensation that reflects responsibilities, experience, value to the Company, and demonstrated performance.
Annual IncentiveIncentivesMotivate executives to achieve financial and non-financial key performance objectives.
Long-Term Incentive CompensationAlign 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 2735 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.
20192022 Increases.TheAs part of the Compensation Committee’s 2022 review of the peer group study, the Compensation Committee increased eachnoted base salary levels of the Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary level in 2019. The Compensation Committee determined these increasesOfficers were reasonable based on its reviewsignificantly below the mean of salary levels for similar positions in the Company’s peer group. The Compensation Committee therefore increased each Named Executive Officer’s base salary for 2022 to be more closely aligned with the applicable mean level of the base salaries of the peer group, of companies in order to maintain competitive salary levels foralso taking into account the Named Executive Officers.factors discussed on page 35 under Competitive Considerations.

Short-TermAnnual Incentives
Annual Bonus. The Compensation Committee has established a bonus target, as a percentage of base salary, for each Named Executive Officer. The 20192022 target bonus percentage for each of Messrs. Campo and Oden was 250%400%, and the target bonus percentage for each of the other Named Executive Officers was 200%250%. In determining the target bonus for each Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee takes into account the factors discussed on page 2735 under Competitive

camdenfooterlogoa06.jpg
2020 Proxy Statement 29



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 the executive's 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)received in cash). Historically, most Named Executive Officers have elected to receive the maximum 50% of their bonus in shares (and all of the Named Executive Officers elected to receive the maximum in shares for 2019)2022), 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 15th of each of the next three years,1.

For Named Executive Officers other than Messrs. Campo and Oden, the Compensation Committee approves other performance objectives for the executive and his or her 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.
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.

75% Company/25% 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

2020 Proxy Statement 33



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 1623 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 2735under 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 2020,2023, the Compensation Committee awarded share awards to each Named Executive Officer.Officer due to the strong operating results in 2022 discussed above.

As described above, each Named Executive Officer also elected to receive a portion of his or her annual bonus for 20192022 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).

20192022 Compensation Decisions
The table below presents the 20192022 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 20192022 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 20202023 are shown in the table below as 20192022 compensation) as the Compensation Committee considers them to be compensation for the just-completed year. While compensation reported in the 20192022 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 20202023 will not, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, be shown in the Summary Compensation Table

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.
Policy Regarding Clawback of Compensation
The Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide if the Company is required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws as a result of misconduct by a Named Executive Officer, the Company may recover incentive compensation from such Named Executive Officer (including profits realized from the sale of the Company’s securities). In such a situation, the Board would exercise its business judgment to determine what action it believes is appropriate. Action may include recovery or cancellation of any bonus or incentive payments made to a Named Executive Officer on the basis of having met or exceeded performance targets during a period of fraudulent activity or a material misstatement of financial results. These actions would be taken only if the Board determines such recovery or cancellation is appropriate due to intentional misconduct by the Named Executive Officer which resulted in performance targets being achieved which would not have been achieved absent such misconduct.

On October 26, 2022, the SEC adopted final rules implementing the incentive-based compensation recovery provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rules direct the stock exchanges to establish listing standards requiring listed companies to develop and implement a policy providing for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by current or former executive officers and to satisfy related disclosure obligations. We intend to timely adopt any changes which may be necessary to satisfy these requirements.

Deferred Compensation Plans and Termination Payments
Deferred Compensation Plans. The CompanyCamden maintains a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of the Company’s officers, Trust Managers, and other key employees in which the participant may elect to defer cash compensation and share awards and, prior to 2005, certain options granted under the Company’sCamden’s share incentive plans. We believe providing these individuals with the opportunity to defer compensation is a cost-effective way to permit them to receive the tax benefits associated with delaying the income tax event on the deferred amount, even though the related deduction for the CompanyCamden is also deferred.
Termination and Change in Control Payments. Since the Company’s initial public offering in 1993, it has provided its Named Executive Officers with the ability to receive severance payments, plus, in some cases, a gross-up payment, if certain situations occur, such as termination without cause or a change in control. The objective of these benefits is to recruit

camdenfooterlogoa06.jpg
2020 Proxy Statement 35



and retain talent in a competitive market. Benefits which would be provided in connection with a change in control are also intended to motivate Named Executive Officers to remain with the Company through the transaction despite the uncertainty and dislocation which arises in the context of change in control situations. These potential payments are summarized below and more fully described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” (page 4552). The Company's agreements with its Named Executive Officers that include tax gross-up provisions werew
cpt-20230321_g4.jpg
2023 Proxy Statement 43

ere entered into prior to 2010.2013. Since that time, the Company has not entered into any new arrangements with its Named Executive Officers that include tax gross-up provisions.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits. The Company does not provide material perquisites or other benefits to the Named Executive Officers. The Named Executive Officers participate in the Company’s 401(k) and other benefit plans on the same terms as other employees.
Employment Agreements
To help recruit and retain talent in a competitive market, the Company enters into employment agreements with all of its Named Executive Officers. These employment agreements are more fully described below under “Employment Agreements” (page 42).
Compensation Policies and Practices Relating to Risk Management
The Compensation Committee conducts regular analytical reviews focusing on several key areas of the Company’s compensation program for the Company’s Named Executive Officers, including external market compensation data, pay mix, selection of performance metrics, goal setting process, and internal equity (compensation differences between individuals). These reviews provided a process to consider if any of the Company’s current programs, practices or procedures regarding Named Executive Officer compensation should be altered to help ensure the Company maintains an appropriate balance between prudent business risk and resulting compensation.
As a result of this process, the Compensation Committee concluded that while a significant portion of the Company’s Named Executive Officer compensation program is performance-based, the program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking and the Company’s policies and procedures largely achieved the appropriate balance between annual goals and the Company’s long-term financial success and growth. While risk-taking is a necessary part of growing a business, the Compensation Committee focuses on aligning the Company’s compensation policies with its long-term interests so as to not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking, as follows:
l
Use of Long-Term Compensation. In general, more than half of each Named Executive Officer's total compensation is non-cash compensation in the form of long-term equity-based awards to more closely align the interests of the Company’s Named Executive Officers with those of the Company’s shareholders and to maximize retention insofar as equity-based awards are subject to time-based vesting, which is usually over a period of at least three years subject to accelerated vesting when the holder becomes Retirement Eligible, or upon certain terminations of the holder’s employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. This vesting period encourages Named Executive Officers to focus on sustaining the Company’s long-term performance. These grants are typically made annually, so officers generally have unvested awards which could decrease significantly in value if the Company’s stock price declines in value.
l
Payment of Annual Bonuses in Shares. To more fully tie compensation to long-term performance, Named Executive Officers may elect to receive up to 50% of their annual bonuses in shares of the Company. 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 the Named Executive Officer would have otherwise received). These shares vest 25% on date of grant and 25% in each of the next three years subject to accelerated vesting when the holder become Retirement Eligible, or upon certain terminations of the holder’s employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. Historically, most Named Executive Officers have elected to receive the maximum 50% in shares, further aligning the executive’s compensation with the creation of shareholder value.

camdenfooterlogoa06.jpg
2020 Proxy Statement 36



l
Share Ownership Guidelines. The Board has adopted a share ownership policy for the Named Executive Officers, which is described above under “Governance of the Company-Share Ownership Guidelines.” Each Named Executive Officer currently meets the applicable ownership target. The Compensation Committee believes these guidelines help to ensure each Named Executive Officer will have a significant amount of personal wealth tied to long-term holdings in the Company’s shares.
l
Use of Clawbacks. The Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide if the Company is required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws as a result of misconduct by a Named Executive Officer, the Company may recover incentive compensation from such Named Executive Officer (including profits realized from the sale of its securities), as described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Policy Regarding Clawback of Compensation.”
l
Performance Metrics. The Compensation Committee believes in linking pay with performance. In 2019, the Company used a variety of quantifiable performance metrics for the annual incentive program, which are described in more detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-2019 Compensation Decisions.”
In summary, by structuring the Company’s compensation program so that a considerable amount of a Named Executive Officer’s compensation is tied to the Company’s long-term success and share value, we believe we avoid creating the type of disproportionately large short-term incentives which could encourage the Named Executive Officers to take risks that are not in the Company’s long-term interests. The Company provides incentives for the Named Executive Officers to manage for long-term growth in a prudent manner.
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis includes certain discussions regarding the Company, its business and individual measures used in assessing performance. These measures are discussed in the limited context of our executive compensation program. You should not interpret them as statements of the Company’s expectations or as any form of guidance by the Company. We caution and urge you not to apply the statements or disclosures made in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis in any other context.

The dollar amount reported is the aggregate grant date fair value of share awards granted during the year computed in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, including shares granted pursuant to the exercise of "reload" options for Messrs. Campo and Oden. 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.
Under SEC rules, the value of share awards is reported as compensation for the fiscal year in which the grant date (as determined for accounting purposes) occurs, whereas cash awards are reported as compensation for the fiscal year in which the compensation is earned. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of share awards included in the table above is the grant date fair value of share awards granted in 2019. As discussed above in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, in February 2020 the Compensation Committee granted annual share awards to the Named Executive Officers, assessed the Company’s performance level for 2019, and determined 2019 annual bonuses based on that assessment. The Compensation Committee's view is that all share awards granted in February 2020 relate to 2019. However, in accordance with applicable SEC rules, the cash bonuses awarded based on 2019 performance are reported in the Summary Compensation Table as compensation for 2019, while the share grants awarded in February 2020 will be reported in the executive compensation tables in next year’s proxy statement as compensation for fiscal 2020.
The following table sets forth the portions of the annual bonuses for each year paid in shares (both the number of shares paid and the dollar value of those shares based on the closing price for a share on the applicable payment date):

However, the Named Executive Officers may elect to receive up to 50% of their annual bonuses in Camden shares, which would be included in the Stock Awards column in the Summary Compensation Table. The actual amounts received by the Named Executive Officers under the annual bonus program for 2019 are set out in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and Summary Compensation Table. The Company does not use pre-set thresholds to determine awards under its annual bonus or long-term compensation program.

(2)Reflects the target and maximum payment levels for 2019 under the performance award program, which levels were established in February 2019. The actual amounts received by the Named Executive Officers under the performance award program for 2019 are set out in the Summary Compensation Table. The Company does not use pre-set thresholds to determine awards under its annual bonus or long-term compensation programs.

Granted in February 2019 under the long-term incentive program for performance in 2018. The award vests in three equal annual installments beginning on February 15th following the first anniversary of the date of the grant (subject to the Retirement Eligible provision as defined on page 30 and acceleration provisions upon certain terminations of employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 45), except that the awards granted to Messrs. Campo and Stewart were fully vested at grant as they were Retirement Eligible.

on page 30 and acceleration provisions upon certain terminations of employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 45), except that the awards granted to Messrs. Campo and Stewart were fully vested at grant as they were Retirement Eligible.

Employment Agreements
To help recruit and retain talent in a competitive market, the Company enters into employment agreements with all of its Named Executive Officers. These employment agreements are more fully described below under “Employment Agreements” (page 49).

Compensation Policies and Practices Relating to Risk Management
The Compensation Committee conducts regular analytical reviews focusing on several key areas of Camden’s compensation program for its Named Executive Officers, including external market compensation data, pay mix, selection of performance metrics, goal setting process, and internal equity (compensation differences between individuals). These reviews provided a process to consider if any of Camden’s current programs, practices or procedures regarding Named Executive Officer compensation should be altered to help ensure Camden maintains an appropriate balance between prudent business risk and resulting compensation.
As a result of this process, the Compensation Committee concluded that while a significant portion of Camden’s Named Executive Officer compensation program is performance-based, the program does not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking and Camden’s policies and procedures largely achieved the appropriate balance between annual goals and Camden’s long-term financial success and growth. While risk-taking is a necessary part of growing a business, the Compensation Committee focuses on aligning Camden’s compensation policies with its long-term interests so as to not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking, as follows:
lUse of Long-Term Compensation. In general, more than half of each Named Executive Officer's total compensation is non-cash compensation in the form of long-term equity-based awards to more closely align the interests of Camden's Named Executive Officers with those of Camden’s shareholders and to maximize retention insofar as equity-based awards are subject to time-based vesting, which is usually over a period of at least three years subject to accelerated vesting when the holder becomes Retirement Eligible, or upon certain terminations of the holder’s employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. This vesting period encourages Named Executive Officers to focus on sustaining Camden’s long-term performance. These grants are typically made annually, so officers generally have unvested awards which could decrease significantly in value if Camden’s stock price declines in value.
lPayment of Annual Bonuses in Shares. To more fully tie compensation to long-term performance, Named Executive Officers may elect to receive up to 50% of their annual bonuses in shares of the Company. 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 the Named Executive Officer would have otherwise received). These shares vest 25% on date of grant and 25% in each of the next three years subject to accelerated vesting when the holder become Retirement Eligible, or upon certain terminations of the holder’s employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. Historically, most Named Executive Officers have elected to receive the maximum 50% in shares, further aligning the executive’s compensation with the creation of shareholder value.
lShare Ownership Guidelines. The Board has adopted a share ownership policy for the Named Executive Officers, which is described above under “Governance of the Company-Share Ownership Guidelines.” Each Named Executive Officer currently meets the applicable ownership target. The Compensation Committee believes these guidelines help to ensure each Named Executive Officer will have a significant amount of personal wealth tied to long-term holdings in Camden’s shares.
cpt-20230321_g4.jpg
2023 Proxy Statement 44

lUse of Clawbacks. The Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide if Camden is required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws as a result of misconduct by a Named Executive Officer, Camden may recover incentive compensation from such Named Executive Officer (including profits realized from the sale of its securities), as described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Policy Regarding Clawback of Compensation.”
lPerformance Metrics. The Compensation Committee believes in linking pay with performance. In 2022, Camden used a variety of quantifiable performance metrics for the annual performance awards, as described in more detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis-2022 Compensation Decisions.”
In summary, by structuring Camden’s compensation program so that a considerable amount of a Named Executive Officer’s compensation is tied to Camden’s long-term success and share value, we believe we avoid creating the type of disproportionately large short-term incentives which could encourage the Named Executive Officers to take risks that are not in Camden’s long-term interests. Camden provides incentives for the Named Executive Officers to manage for long-term growth in a prudent manner.
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis includes certain discussions regarding the Company, its business and individual measures used in assessing performance. These measures are discussed in the limited context of our executive compensation program. You should not interpret them as statements of the Company’s expectations or as any form of guidance by the Company. We caution and urge you not to apply the statements or disclosures made in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis in any other context.

    Under SEC rules, the value of share awards is reported as compensation for the fiscal year in which the grant date (as determined for accounting purposes) occurs, whereas cash awards are reported as compensation for the fiscal year in which the compensation is earned. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of share awards included in the table above is the grant date fair value of share awards granted in 2022. As discussed above in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, in February 2023 the Compensation Committee assessed company and individual performance levels for 2022, and granted annual share awards and determined 2022 annual bonuses for the Named Executive Officers based on that assessment. The Compensation Committee's view is that all share awards granted in February 2023 relate to 2022 (including the portion of 2022 annual bonuses the Named Executive Officers elected to receive in shares instead of cash). However, in accordance with applicable SEC rules, the cash bonuses awarded based on 2022 performance are reported in the Summary Compensation Table as compensation for 2022, while the share grants awarded in February 2023 will be reported in the executive compensation tables in next year’s proxy statement as compensation for 2023.

Effective January 1, 2005, the Compensation Committee established a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of the Company’sCamden’s officers, Trust Managers, and other key employees in which the participant may elect to defer cash compensation, options, and/or share awards granted under the Company’sCamden’s share incentive plans. A participant has a fully vested right to his or her cash deferral amounts and deferred option and share awards vest in accordance with their respective terms.
Prior to the establishment of the Company’sCamden’s deferred compensation plan in 2005, the Compensation Committee established a rabbi trust for the benefit of the Company’sCamden’s officers, Trust Managers, and other key employees in which, in previous years, such persons had the option to place share grants and other deferred compensation. A participant may purchase assets held by the rabbi trust at any time within 30 years from the date of vesting. The purchase price of a share is 25% of the fair value of such share on the date the share was placed in the rabbi trust. The purchase price of any other asset is 25% of the fair value of such asset on the date the asset was placed in the rabbi trust. The rabbi trust is in use only for deferrals made prior to the establishment of the Company’sCamden’s deferred compensation plan in 2005.

(4)    The amounts represent the benefit of acceleration of unvested options and share awards based upon the Company’s share price as of December 31, 2022. 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. In addition to the acceleration provisions described in note (3) above, all outstanding and unvested equity awards under the Company’s 2018 Share Incentive Plan, to the extent such awards are not assumed or continued in connection with a change in control, will be fully vested at time of change in control.

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 ourCamden'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

camdenfooterlogoa06.jpg
2020 Proxy Statement 46



determined that our CEO’s total compensation for 20192022 was $4,053,465,$6,176,567, and the median of the total 20192022 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) was $54,107.$63,698. Accordingly, we estimate the ratio of our CEO’s total compensation for 20192022 to the median of the total 20192022 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) to be 7597 to 1.
We identified the median employee by taking into account the total cash compensation paid for 20192022 for all individuals, excluding our CEO, who were employed by us or one of our affiliates on December 1, 2019,2022, 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 2019,2022, and we did not annualize the compensation for any employees who were not employed by us for all of 2019.2022. 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 20192022 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.

(b) Net Income includes a $474.1 million gain on the acquisition of unconsolidated joint venture interests, and a $36.4 million gain on sale of one operating property.
(6)    We consider FFO per share to be a key metric used in determining the CEO's and other Named Executive Officers performance bonus. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO and diluted EPS to FFO diluted per share for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is contained in either the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 23, 2023 or in its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 2, 2023. A reconciliation for 2020 is contained in either the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2022 or in its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 3, 2022.

The graph below illustrates the correlation

2020$4.90 (0.4)%4.5x5.5 %
(1)    Same Property NOI growth illustrates our ability to grow in current markets. A reconciliation of net income to NOI and same property net operating income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 23, 2023 and its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 2, 2023. A reconciliation for 2020 is contained in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 17, 2022 and its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 3, 2022.

(2)    In an effort to maintain appropriate and manageable levels of debt, the Company utilizes the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Ratio as a key metric. 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is contained in the Company's earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 2, 2023. A reconciliation for 2020 is contained in its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 3, 2022.
(3)    We continually assess our properties and future growth opportunities. The performance of our individual properties is extremely important. As such, weighted average yields from stabilized acquisitions/developments are a key metric.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has developed policies and procedures concerning its pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (includes tax and all other fees) provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm. These policies and procedures provide the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be rendered to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm.
The independent registered public accounting firm provides the Audit Committee with a list describing the services expected to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm, and any request for services not contemplated by this list must be submitted to the Audit Committee for specific pre-approval and the provision of such services cannot commence until such approval has been granted. Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings. However, the Audit Committee has authorized any of the members of the Audit Committee to approve the provision by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services not prohibited by law. Any such decision made by a member of the Audit Committee will be reported by such member to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting.
In addition, although not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Audit Committee generally requests a range of fees or has established pre-approval levels associated with each proposed service. The Audit Committee believes providing a range of fees for a service or a pre-approval fee level, incorporates appropriate oversight and control of the independent registered public accounting firm relationship, while permitting the Company to receive immediate assistance from the independent registered public accounting firm when time is of the essence. Any pre-approval services less than the established pre-approval fee level will be reported to the Audit Committee at the meeting that occurs immediately after the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm.

This Proposal 4 affords shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often the Company should include an advisory vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials for future annual meetings of shareholders (or special shareholder meetings for which the Company must include executive compensation information in the proxy statement for that meeting). Under this proxy statement.Proposal 4, shareholders may vote to have future advisory votes on executive compensation every year, every two years or every three years. Shareholders had the opportunity to cast this advisory vote (referred to as a “say-on-frequency”vote) at the 2017 annual meeting and voted to hold a say-on-pay vote every year (as opposed to every two or three years). Under SEC rules, the Company is required to hold a new say-on-frequency vote at least every six years.
As described in detail under the heading “Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis,”
The Company believes that advisory votes on executive compensation should be conducted every year so that shareholders may annually express their views on 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 25 and the tables that follow for additional details aboutprogram.

Shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders by an approximate 92.4% 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 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2019 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosures.”

The Board and the Compensation Committee valuevalues the opinions ofexpressed by 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.

Proxy Solicitation Costs


The Company will pay all of the costs of soliciting proxies. Some of the Company’s Trust Managers, officers, and other employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, mail, facsimile, or other electronic means of communication. They will not be specially compensated for these solicitation activities. The Company does not expect to pay any fees for the solicitation of proxies, but may pay brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable expenses for forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares.
Householding


The SEC has adopted rules which permit companies and intermediaries (for example, brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials addressed to those shareholders. A number of brokers with account holders who are shareholders of the Company “household” the Company’s proxy materials in this manner. If you have received notice from your broker it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, annual report or Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker and the Company’s Investor Relations department in writing at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2400, Houston, Texas 77046 or by telephone at (800) 922-6336 or (713) 354-2787. If you currently receive multiple copies of the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy statement at your address and would like to request householding of your communications, please contact your broker.
Other Business


The Company does not know of any matter to be presented or acted upon at the meeting, other than the proposals described in this proxy statement. If any other matter is presented at the meeting on which a vote may be properly taken, the shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons named as proxies on the proxy card or voting instruction form.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company during or with respect to 2022, we believe all SEC filing requirements applicable to Trust Managers, officers, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common shares were complied with in 2022.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


The Company is not a party to any transaction with executive officers or Trust Managers which is required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, except as described below. In addition, the Company has not made any contributions to any tax exempt organization in which any independent Trust Manager serves as an executive officer within the preceding three years which, for in any single fiscal year, exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of such tax exempt organization’s consolidated gross revenues.
Prior to the merger of the Company with Summit Properties, Inc. (Summit(“Summit”) in 2005, Summit entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with William F. Paulsen, who isserved as a Trust Manager.
