I. Some Questions You May Have Regarding This Proxy Statement
|
|
Q.

Why am I receiving these materials and what is included in the proxy materials?
|
|
A.
|
The proxy materials for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders include the Notice of Annual Meeting, this proxy statement, our Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. If you received a paper copy of these materials, the proxy materials also include a proxy card or voting instruction form. The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company. We are providing these proxy materials to you in connection with our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, at 8:00 a.m., local time, at 4040 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22203, and any postponements or adjournments thereof (the “Annual Meeting” or the “2020 Annual Meeting”). As a Company stockholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are entitled and requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. Directions on how to attend the Annual Meeting in person are available on the Company’s Internet website at www.avalonbay.com.
|
|
Q.
|
How can I access the proxy materials electronically?
|
|
A.
|
This proxy statement, our 2019 Annual Report to Stockholders and our Annual Report on Form 10
‑
K for the year ended December 31, 2019 are available online at www.proxyvote.com. Instead of receiving copies of our future annual reports, proxy statements, and proxy cards by mail, stockholders can elect to receive an email that will provide electronic links to our proxy materials and an electronic link to the proxy voting site. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials online will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and help conserve natural resources. You may sign up for electronic delivery by visiting www.proxyvote.com. If you elect to receive these materials by electronic delivery, you may change your election at any time.
|
|
Q.
|
Who may vote at the Annual Meeting?
|
|
A.
|
You may vote all the shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), that you owned at the close of business on March 16, 2020, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote on, these matters (the “Record Date”). On the Record Date, the Company had 140,734,678 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. You may cast one vote for each share of Common Stock held by you on all matters.
|
|
Q.
|
How do I obtain admission to the Annual Meeting?
|
|
A.
|
If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to register in advance. All meeting attendees must present government
‑
issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, at the meeting. In addition, if you are authorized to represent a corporate or institutional stockholder, you must also present written evidence that you are the authorized representative of such stockholder. Please submit your request to register on or before Friday, May 8, 2020, by mailing a request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 4040 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1000, Arlington, VA 22203, or sending an email to AnnualMeeting@AvalonBay.com. Please include the following information: (a) your name and mailing address, (b) whether you need special assistance at the meeting and (c) if your shares are held for you in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, evidence of your stock ownership (such as a current letter from your broker or a photocopy of a current brokerage or other account statement) as of March 16, 2020. The meeting facilities will open at 7:30 a.m., local time, to facilitate your registration and security clearance. For your security you will not be permitted to bring any packages, briefcases, large pocketbooks or bags into the meeting room. Also, cellular phones, audio (tape or digital) recorders, video and still cameras, pagers, laptops and other portable electronic devices as well as pets, other than service animals, may not be permitted into the meeting room. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with these rules.
|
|
Q.
|
What constitutes a quorum at the Annual Meeting?
|
|
A.
|
The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of all of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and “broker non
‑
votes” will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. A “broker non
‑
vote” refers to a share represented at the meeting held by a broker, as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner or person entitled to vote such share and with respect to which, on one or more but not all matters, the broker does not have discretionary voting power to vote such share.
|
|
Q.
|
What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
|
|
A.
|
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to: (1) elect ten directors of the Company, (2) consider and vote upon ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for 2020, (3) consider and vote upon a resolution to approve, on a non
‑
binding, advisory basis, the Company’s named executive officer compensation, (4) consider and vote upon a resolution to amend the Company’s Charter to reduce the required stockholder vote to amend the Charter or approve other extraordinary actions to the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, and (5) transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting, in each case as specified in the Notice of Annual Meeting and more fully described in this proxy statement.
|
|
Q.
|
How do I vote?
|
|
A.
|
Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or indirectly as the beneficial owner of shares held for you by a broker or other nominee (i.e., in “street name”), you may direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting. You may vote by granting a proxy or, for shares you hold in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your broker or nominee. In most instances, you will be able to do this over the Internet, by telephone or, if you request printed copies of the proxy materials, by mail. Please refer to the summary instructions below and those included on your proxy card or, for shares you hold in street name, the voting instruction card provided by your broker or nominee.
|
|
Q.
|
What is householding?
|
|
A.
|
If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of Common Stock in street name, your broker, bank or other nominee may have sent you a notice that your household will receive only one annual report, notice of annual meeting and proxy statement. This procedure is known as “householding” and is intended to reduce the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and also reduce our printing and postage costs. If you consented or were deemed to have consented to householding, your broker, bank or other nominee may send one copy of our annual report, notice of annual meeting and proxy statement to your address for all residents that own shares of Common Stock in street name. If you wish to revoke your consent to householding, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee. If you are receiving multiple copies of our annual report, notice of annual meeting and proxy statement, you may be able to request householding by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee.

|
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the resolution to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers.
|
|
1.
|
Delete the third paragraph of Section 10.2 of Article X of the Charter, which, in summary, provides that certain provisions of the Charter may be amended by the vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter while the amendment of other provisions of the Charter requires the vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. By deleting Section 10.2, the required stockholder vote to approve
all
amendments to the Charter will be a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
The third paragraph of Section 10.2, which will be deleted if this proposal is approved, reads in its entirety as follows:
|
|
2.
|
Add a new Section 10.3 of Article X of the Charter that will have the effect of requiring only the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter for the approval of all amendments to the Charter and all Extraordinary Transactions It should be noted that Section 6.4 of Article VI of the Charter sets forth a requirement that removal for cause (as defined in that Section) of a director requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the shares entitled to vote on the matter; while the amendments to the Charter being proposed will not modify that requirement, the amendments will reduce, to a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to be voted on the matter, the required vote to approve an amendment to Section 6.4.
|
|
Required Vote and Recommendation
|
|
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the resolution to amend the Charter to reduce the stockholder vote required for future Charter amendments and certain other extraordinary actions to a majority of shares outstanding.

How We Review Market Compensation
|
|
(i)
|
the scope of the officer’s responsibilities within the Company and in relation to comparable officers at various companies within the peer group described below;
|
|
(ii)
|
the experience of the officer within our industry and at the Company;
|
|
(iii)
|
performance of the officer and his or her contribution to the Company;
|
|
(iv)
|
the Company’s financial budget and general level of wage increases throughout the Company for the coming year;
|
|
(v)
|
a review of historical compensation information for the individual officer;
|
|
(vi)
|
the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer (other than with regard to his own compensation); and
|
|
(vii)
|
data regarding compensation paid to officers with comparable titles, positions or responsibilities at REITs that are considered by the Compensation Committee to be comparable for these purposes.
|
|
(a)
|
the officer’s role and experience within the Company may be different from the role and experience of comparable officers at the peer companies;
|
|
(b)
|
the actual compensation for comparable officers at the peer companies may be the result of a year of over-performance or under-performance by the peer group;
|
|
(c)
|
the target compensation and performance goals for comparable officers at peer companies may not have the same rigor as at the Company; and
|
|
(d)
|
the Compensation Committee believes that ultimately the decision as to appropriate target compensation for a particular officer should be made based on the full review described above.
|

How We Establish Goals and Determine Achievement for Incentive Compensation
|
|
•
|
Corporate performance, consisting of Core FFO per share, development and redevelopment NOI, development yield and management performance
|
|
•
|
Business unit performance (applies to all Named Executive Officers except the Chief Executive Officer)
|
|
•
|
Individual performance
|
|
Corporate Performance
|
Rationale
|
|
Core FFO per Share
|
Core FFO per share (or similar measures such as Operating FFO) is a key metric used by many REITS and tracked by equity research analysts.
Core FFO per share is reported in our quarterly results and periodic guidance to the market.
|
|
Development Lease-Up NOI and Redevelopment NOI vs. Budget
|
Development and redevelopment are core competencies of the Company that contribute to value creation.
Development and redevelopment NOI are profit related measures that are important to fulfillment of the annual business plan.
NOI helps investors and management to understand the core operations of a community or communities prior to the allocation of any corporate-level or financing-related costs. NOI reflects the operating performance of a community and allows for an easy comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets.
|
|
Development Completions (Yield vs. Underwritten Yield)
|
Development yield (i.e., projected NOI/total capital cost) is a return measure that reflects the economic returns from a development community as a percentage of the capital we invested in it.
As a performance measure, we measure development yield on completed developments against the original underwritten yield for that asset, which is established at the start of construction.
|
|
Management’s Performance vs. Goals
|
There are two components to the qualitative assessment of management’s performance for which we gauge ourselves against pre-established annual and multi-year goals and objectives: (i) strategic and corporate initiatives, and (ii) management effectiveness.

To derive the target number of units, 60% of the target dollar value (representing the portion of the award tied to TSR Metrics) was divided by the Monte Carlo value as of February 14, 2019 (the approval date) to determine the number of units based solely on the TSR metrics ($204.15 per unit), and 40% of the target dollar value (representing the portion of the award tied to Operating Metrics) was divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on February 14, 2019 ($195.72 per share) to determine the number of units based solely on operating metrics. The shares of stock that may be issued upon settlement of awards are not subject to further additional time vesting requirements.

Practices with Regard to Dates and Pricing of Stock and Option Grants
|
|
Risk Considerations
|
|
•
|
annual bonus and long‑term incentive awards are based upon pre‑existing, defined goals;
|
|
•
|
annual goals contain multiple financial targets, including performance against a pre‑approved budget;
|
|
•
|
performance goals include both absolute performance and performance relative to industry peers;
|
|
•
|
annual goals balance financial and non‑financial performance;
|
|
•
|
goals include corporate, business unit, and individual performance goals;
|
|
•
|
performance goals include achievement against both single year and multi-year metrics;
|
|
•
|
executive compensation is structured as a mix among salary, cash bonus, and equity awards;
|
|
•
|
equity awards vest over time or are earned based upon achievement of pre-determined goals;
|
|
•
|
bonus and long‑term equity programs include maximum payouts or “caps”;
|
|
•
|
all unvested equity awards are forfeited upon a termination for cause or voluntary termination under certain circumstances;
|
|
•
|
the metrics that are included in our long‑term performance awards include a goal addressing appropriate leverage ratios;
|
|
•
|
achievement of metrics is not determined on an “all or nothing” basis, but rather goals may be achieved on a graduated basis based on performance against the stated target; and
|
|
•
|
while awards are generally made in relation to performance against specific goals, the Compensation Committee retains the discretion to adjust annual bonuses of cash and restricted stock as may be warranted by specific circumstances.

|
|

|
|
(1)
|
The amounts shown as salary in column (c) reflect actual payments received in each indicated year, which may vary slightly from the salary described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis as a result of (i) the number of pay periods in each calendar year and (ii) the fact that salary increases do not go into effect until early March of each year.
|
|
(2)
|
The amounts in column (e) include restricted stock actually granted during the fiscal year for service in the prior fiscal year. For example, the row for 2019 includes the value of stock awards made in February 2019 with respect to 2018 service.
|
|
(3)
|
The amounts in column (e) reflect the aggregate grant date fair value for awards made in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for restricted stock awards and performance unit awards made pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The value of restricted stock awards is based solely on the closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of grant and no assumptions were used in the calculation of this value. The value of performance unit awards based on operating metrics established in 2019 for measurement period 2019 - 2021 is based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of grant of $195.72. The value of performance unit awards based on TSR metrics made in 2019 for measurement period 2019
‑
2021 is based on the Monte Carlo value of $204.15. The total value of 2019
‑
2021 performance unit awards, if earned at maximum and valued at the closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of grant, for the Named Executive Officers is: Mr. Naughton-$10,922,350, Mr. O’Shea-$2,223,379, Messrs. Birenbaum and Breslin-$2,515,785, and Mr. Horey - $1,170,014.
|
|
(4)
|
No stock options were granted to the Named Executive Officers in 2019, 2018 or 2017.
|
|
(5)
|
The amounts shown in column (g) reflect the cash awards to the named individuals determined in February of the following year (based upon the achievement of the performance metrics established in the year indicated, as more fully described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above). For Mr. Horey, the non-equity incentive plan compensation payouts included both his 2019 cash and stock bonus payments paid in cash as a result of his retirement on January 1, 2020.
|
|
(6)
|
All earnings under the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation program are determined by reference to returns of actual mutual funds and the Company does not consider such earnings to be above market.
|
|
(7)
|
For 2019, the amounts shown in column (i) include, for each Named Executive Officer (a) amounts contributed by the Company to the Named Executive Officers’ 401(k) accounts in the amount of $8,400 each for Messrs. Naughton, O’Shea, Breslin, Birenbaum, and Horey, (b) medical benefit premiums paid by the Company and contribution to health savings accounts paid by the Company in the aggregate amount of $14,982 for Mr. Naughton, $14,987 for Mr. O'Shea, $14,461 for Messrs. Breslin and Birenbaum, and $7,350 for Mr. Horey and (c) the premiums paid by the Company for a standard term life insurance policy in the face amount of $750,000 for: Messrs. O'Shea and Birenbaum - $1,850; Mr. Breslin-$1,595; and Mr. Horey - $2,458. For Mr. O'Shea, his 2018 all other compensation has been updated to include the health savings account amount.

The actual cash bonuses received by each of the Named Executive Officers for performance in 2019, paid in 2020, are set out in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table. Under applicable SEC rules earned stock bonuses will be disclosed in the 2021 proxy statement Summary Compensation Table as the actual grant of stock based on 2019 achievement occurred in 2020.
|
|
(2)
|
The amounts shown in columns (f), (g) and (h) reflect the threshold, target and maximum number of performance units awarded in 2019 for the performance period 2019‑2021 under the long‑term incentive performance program. The grant date fair value of 2019‑2021 awards is based on the closing price on the grant date of $195.72 for the operating metric portion of the award and the Monte Carlo value of $204.15 for the TSR metric portion of the award. In addition to receiving one share of fully vested stock for each unit earned as determined at the end of the performance period, a cash payment will be made equal to the dividends that accrued on such number of earned shares during the performance period.
|
|
(3)
|
The number of shares of restricted stock shown in column (i) were granted on February 14, 2019 represents the actual number of shares of restricted stock granted to the Named Executive Officers, with respect to performance in 2018, and such shares do not represent compensation for performance in 2019. Dividends are payable on the shares at the same rate as dividends are paid on all outstanding shares of our Common Stock.
|
|
(4)
|
For the February 14, 2019 grants of restricted stock, the value was calculated based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant of $195.72.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors from time to time reviews and establishes severance guidelines in the case of a termination without cause of an executive officer. The guidelines do not constitute a contractual right of an executive and are subject to change without notice as business needs and practices evolve. The Company may require that certain conditions be met before providing severance to an executive, such as requiring the executive to execute a general release, to continue employment with the Company for a period of time, to provide on-going cooperation on various matters, etc. As well, the severance amount suggested in the guideline may be decreased, or eliminated, on a case by case basis depending on the nature of the executive’s termination (e.g., reorganization, poor performance, etc.).
|
