A LETTER TO CAMDEN'S SHAREHOLDERS

from Our Board of Trust Managers

March 22, 2019

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 their role. We encourage you to review the qualifications and backgrounds of our current nominees for election to the Board beginning on page 49 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 appreciate and value your interest, investment and support. To the extent you have any thoughts, concerns or recommendations they can 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



Richard J. Campo	William B. McGuire, Jr.	Frances Aldrich Sevilla-Sacasa

Heather J. Brunner	D. Keith Oden	Steven A. Webster

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 that the very positive culture of outstanding corporate governance is preserved, we are focused on regular, strong performance-related metrics, always mindful of the long-term goals and objectives of the Company and its stakeholders.

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 11 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 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 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,

Kelvin R. Westbrook

Lead Independent Trust Manager

Camden Property Trust

2018 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

We have reshaped our portfolio over the past several years through strategic capital recycling and have experienced internal growth from our operating portfolio. We believe this has resulted in better operational efficiencies and overall Company performance. Our key 2018 performance achievements are as follows:



l	Funds From Operations (“ FFO ”) ¹ for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 totaled $4.77 per diluted share or $464.0 million, ahead of the midpoint of our original guidance of $4.72 per diluted share.
l	2018 Same Property Net Operating Income (“ NOI ”) ¹ increased 3.4%, ahead of the midpoint of our original guidance of 2.5%.
l	We completed construction on three communities with a total cost of $291.6 million, stabilized one community with a total cost of $108.5 million, and commenced construction on two new communities with a total budgeted cost of $280.0 million.
l	We acquired three operating properties: Camden Pier District, comprised of 358 apartment homes, located in St. Petersburg, Florida for approximately $126.9 million, Camden North Quarter, comprised of 333 apartment homes, located in Orlando, Florida for approximately $81.4 million, and Camden Thornton Park, comprised of 299 homes located in Orlando, Florida for approximately $89.8 million.
l	We acquired approximately 1.8 acres of land in Orlando, Florida for approximately $11.4 million for the development of a community with 360 wholly-owned apartment homes.
l	We sold approximately 14.1 acres of land adjacent to two development communities in Phoenix, Arizona for approximately $11.5 million.
l	We maintained our senior unsecured debt ratings of A-, A3, & BBB+ from Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively (Subsequent to year end, Standard and Poor's upgraded our rating to A-).
l	We repaid $380 million of our secured conventional mortgage notes, and approximately 90% of our properties were unencumbered following the repayment.
l	We issued $400 million senior unsecured notes under the Company's existing shelf registration statement. These ten-year notes were offered to the public at 99.893% of par value with a coupon of 4.100%. After giving effect to the settlement of in-place swap agreements and deducting the underwriting discounts and other estimated expenses of the offering, the effective annual interest rate on these notes is approximately 3.74%.
l	We secured a $100.0 million three-year unsecured floating-rate term loan. The interest rate on this term loan is based on LIBOR plus a margin which is subject to change as our credit ratings change.
l	We paid an annualized dividend of $3.08 per share. In the first quarter of 2019, the Board declared a first quarter 2019 dividend of $0.80 per common share, a 3.90% increase to the Company's prior quarterly dividend.

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, 2018 is contained in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and/or in its earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2019.

KEY POINTS ON OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM



l	Our Named Executive Officers’ annual incentives are directly tied to the achievement of pre-established corporate and individual performance objectives. In 2018, payouts for our executives were 132% of target, displaying alignment with actual performance, as discussed in the section "Short-Term Incentives," beginning on page 28 .
l	All of our Named Executive Officers elected to receive 50% of their 2018 bonus in shares and the majority of their compensation opportunity is tied to share price growth, which we believe directly ties their financial interests to those of our shareholders.

Return to Shareholders

While the one-year total shareholder return was relatively flat, the Company's focus has always been on long-term performance and we are pleased our total return to shareholders delivered positive returns as shown below:

Camden Total Shareholder Return

Total shareholder returns are presented as of December 31, 2018 and calculated assuming dividend reinvestment in our common shares. (Source: S&P Global Market Intelligence)

The Company also has a long history of maintaining or increasing annual distributions to shareholders, as shown below.

5 Year Annual Distribution History ¹

¹ Annualized dividend rate based upon the dividends on a Camden common share approved by the Board for the applicable year (not when the dividend was actually paid) and excludes a special cash dividend of $4.25 per share paid on September 30, 2016 consisting of gains on dispositions of properties.

Directional Relationship Between Pay and Key Metrics

The following illustrates the directional relationship between Company performance, based on three of our key operating metrics (FFO, NOI and Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio), and the compensation of our CEO ¹ .



FFO (in millions)	NOI (in millions)	Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Ratio ²	CEO Total Compensation (in millions)

¹ See Summary Compensation Table at Page 37 for calculation.

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, 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, 2018 is contained in the Company's earnings release furnished on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2019.

KEY COMPENSATION PRACTICES

WHAT WE DO

ü Classify a significant portion of our Named Executive Officers’ total pay as equity awards to promote retention and tie the value of these awards to future Company share price performance

ü Use pre-determined objectives to determine Named Executive Officer compensation

ü Apply sizable share ownership guidelines for Named Executive Officers

ü Prohibit Named Executive Officers from hedging their Company shares, which precludes entering into any derivative transaction on Company shares (e.g., short sale, forward, option, collar)

ü In-depth review of CEO’s and other Named Executive Officers’ goals and performance by an independent Compensation Committee made up of members of the Company’s Board of Trust Managers

ü Utilize an independent compensation consultant

ü Subject cash incentives and equity awards to clawback and forfeiture provisions

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 Board believes promote 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 ten members (eight of which are independent), each of whom are nominated for reelection. 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 Leadership Structure; Board Role in Risk Oversight

Of the eight independent Trust Managers nominated for reelection at the annual meeting, four are currently serving or have served as a CEO and/or chairman of the board of public companies. With respect to the Company’s four 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 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’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 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 committee charters, (a) the Compensation Committee oversees the annual performance evaluation of the Company’s Chairman of the Board and CEO, President and other Named Executive Officers; (b) the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for Company succession planning and monitors Board performance, 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, President, Chief Financial Officer, and other officers as the Board may deem appropriate.

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



		2019 Proxy Statement 9



Table of Contents

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’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 as President with responsibility for the management of the Company’s operations. Messrs. Campo and Oden are the Company’s co-founders and have partnered to lead the Company’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. The Company’s Guidelines on Governance require the appointment of a Lead Independent Trust Manager. We believe the Company has been well-served by this leadership structure and having one person serve as CEO and Chairman of the Board, coupled with a Lead Independent Trust Manager, is best for the Company and our shareholders.

Under the Company’s Bylaws and Guidelines on Governance, the Chairman of the Board is responsible for chairing Board meetings and annual shareholder meetings, setting the agendas for these meetings in consultation with the Lead Independent Trust Manager, 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. Under the Company’s Guidelines on Governance, the Lead Independent Trust Manager is responsible for the following:



l	presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present;
l	convening, 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;
l	assisting in the recruitment of Board candidates;
l	serving as principal liaison between the independent Trust Managers and the Chairman of the Board;
l	communicating with Trust Managers between meetings when appropriate;
l	consulting with the Chairman of the Board regarding the information, agenda and schedules of the meetings of the Board;
l	monitoring the quality, quantity and timeliness of information sent to the Board;
l	working with committee chairs to ensure committee work is conducted at the committee level and reported to the Board;
l	facilitating the Board’s approval of the number and frequency of Board meetings, as well as meeting schedules to assure there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;
l	recommending to the Chairman of the Board the retention of outside advisors and consultants who report directly to the Board on Board-wide issues;
l	being available, when appropriate, for consultation and direct communication with shareholders and other external constituencies, as needed; and
l	serving as a contact for shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board other than through the Chairman of the Board.

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	monitoring 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;
l	developing 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
l	supporting effective shareholder communications.

As part of the review of the Company’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 Company 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 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 Company and our shareholders.

Board Meetings and Board Committees

All of the Trust Managers attended 75% or more of meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served during 2018. We encourage all of our Trust Managers to attend the annual meeting and all of our Trust Managers except for two were present at last year’s annual meeting.

The following table identifies each committee of the Board, its members during 2018, its key functions and the number of meetings held during 2018. Each member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees satisfies the applicable independence requirements of applicable law, the SEC and NYSE. Each committee reviews its respective written charter on an annual basis.

Consideration of Trust Manager Nominees

Shareholder Nominees . The policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to consider all properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board. In evaluating such nominations, 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 submitted by shareholders. Any shareholder nomination proposed for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board membership and should be addressed to:



Corporate Secretary Camden Property Trust 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2400 Houston, Texas 77046

In addition, the Company’s Bylaws permit nominations of Trust Managers at any annual meeting of shareholders by the Board or a committee of the Board or by a shareholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting. In order for a shareholder to make a nomination, the shareholder must provide a notice along with the additional information and material required by the Company’s Bylaws to its corporate secretary at the address set forth above not less than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting. However, if the Company does not provide at least 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting, the Company must receive notice from a shareholder no later than the close of business on the 10 ^th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the applicable annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. You may obtain a copy of the full text of the Bylaw provision by writing to the Company’s corporate secretary at the address set forth above. A copy of the Company’s Bylaws has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 12, 2013.

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.

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



		2019 Proxy Statement 13



Table of Contents

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 49 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 the 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.

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 75 ^th birthday. 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’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 code is available on the Investors' section of the Company’s website at www.camdenliving.com. It covers topics such as reporting unethical or illegal behavior, compliance with law, share trading, conflicts of interest, fair dealing, protection of the Company’s assets, disclosure of proprietary information, internal controls, personal community activities, business records, communication with external audiences, and obtaining assistance to help resolve ethical issues. The Company has also adopted a Code of Ethical Conduct for Senior Financial Officers, which is applicable to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, and persons performing similar functions.

Communication with the Board

Any shareholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with the Board or any specific Trust Manager, including independent Trust Managers, may write to:



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

Depending on the subject matter, the Lead Independent Trust Manager will:


l	forward the communication to the Trust Manager or Trust Managers to whom it is addressed (for example, if the communication received deals with questions, concerns or complaints regarding compensation, it will be forwarded to the chair of the Compensation Committee for review);


l	forward to management if appropriate (for example, if the communication is a request for information about the Company or its operations or it is a share-related matter which does not appear to require direct attention by the Board or an individual Trust Manager); or


l	not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.

At each meeting of the Board, the Lead Independent Trust Manager will present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting of the Board and will make those communications available to any Trust Manager on request.

Share Ownership Guidelines

The Board has adopted a share ownership policy for Trust Managers and certain senior officers. The current share ownership policy for Trust Managers provides for a minimum beneficial ownership target of the Company’s common shares with a market value of $250,000 within three years of joining the Board. The current share ownership policy for senior officers provides for a minimum beneficial ownership target of the Company’s common shares, achieved with the lesser of a multiple of base salary or number of shares, within five years of becoming a senior officer, as follows:



Named Executive Officer	Annual Salary Multiple	Number of Shares
CEO President	6 times	40,500
Chief Operating Officer Chief Financial Officer Executive Vice President	4 times	22,900
Senior Vice President	3 times	13,200

Each Trust Manager and senior officer is currently in compliance with the applicable ownership target guidelines.

Short Selling and Hedging Prohibition

The Company’s Guidelines on Governance provide that Trust Managers and officers may not make “short sales” of any equity security of the Company. Short sales are defined as sales of securities the seller does not own at the time of the sale, or, if owned, securities that will not be delivered for a period longer than twenty days after the sale. In addition, Trust Managers and officers may not engage in transactions in derivatives of the Company’s equity securities, including hedging transactions.

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.

For 2018, we paid each non-employee Trust Manager an annual fee of $55,000. 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, each non-employee Trust Manager receives a fully-vested share award with a market value of approximately $100,000 on the date of grant upon his or her appointment to the Board and on each succeeding year he or she is reelected as a Trust Manager. In 2018, the following additional annual cash fees were paid:



Lead Independent Trust Manager	$	25,000
Chair of the Audit Committee	$	20,000
Chair of the Compensation Committee	$	15,000
Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee	$	12,500
Member of the Audit Committee (other than the Chair)	$	8,000
Member of the Compensation Committee (other than the Chair)	$	2,500
Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (other than the Chair)	$	2,500

The annual fee paid to each of the Trust Managers was increased to $65,000 effective May 9, 2019.

We also reimburse Trust Managers for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with their activities on the Company’s behalf.

Trust Managers may elect to defer payment of their cash compensation and/or share awards under our deferred compensation plan, the Camden Property Trust Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the key principles and factors underlying our executive compensation policies for 2018 for the Company’s Named Executive Officers, who are:


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


l	President, D. Keith Oden;


l	Chief Operating Officer, H. Malcolm Stewart;


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


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

Our shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation program at the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders by an approximate 94.5% affirmative vote. Based on this high level of support, the Compensation Committee did not change its general approach to executive compensation for 2018. 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.”

William F. Paulsen, Compensation Committee Chairman

At Camden, both the Board and our management team believe consistently strong operating results equate to long-term shareholder value creation. For 2018, approximately 86.2% of Mr. Campo’s total compensation and approximately 83.1% 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.



		2019 Proxy Statement 24



Table of Contents

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 compensation of our Named Executive Officers for 2018 is listed below.



l	We consider FFO ¹ per share a key metric. In 2018, FFO per share was $4.77, which was within the range of our original guidance of $4.62 to $4.82.
l	Same Property NOI ¹ growth illustrates our ability to grow in current markets. In 2018, Same Property NOI growth was 3.4%, which was within the range of our original guidance of 1.5% to 3.5%.
l	In an effort to maintain appropriate and manageable levels of debt, the Company utilizes the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ² Ratio as a key metric. In 2018, our ratio was 4.1x, down from 4.3x in 2017.
l	We continually assess our properties and future growth opportunities. The performance of our individual properties is extremely important. As such, yields from stabilized acquisitions are a key metric. In 2018, the yield on our stabilized new acquisition was 0.33% below our targeted pro forma yield.

Company’s Compensation Philosophy

Executive Compensation Objectives.


l	Support 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;


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


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

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


l	Fixed and variable pay;


l	Short-term and long-term pay; and


l	Cash 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 while holding Named Executive Officers accountable for their level of success in attaining specific goals through individual performance assessments.

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 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 consultants.

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

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


l	the nature and responsibility of the executive’s position;


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).

The Company operates and recruits talent across diverse markets and makes each compensation decision in the context of the particular situation, including the individual’s specific roles, responsibilities, qualifications, and experience. The Company takes into account information about the competitive market for executive talent, but because individual roles and experience levels vary among companies and Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee believes reviewing external compensation should be only one of a variety of factors for establishing compensation. Therefore, the Compensation Committee generally reviews information regarding competitive conditions from a variety of sources in making compensation decisions. These sources include reports of the Compensation Committee’s outside compensation consultant, Longnecker & Associates (“ Longnecker ”), 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, a consulting firm specializing in executive compensation and corporate governance, to provide advice on the Company’s executive compensation program for



		2019 Proxy Statement 26



Table of Contents

2018. Neither Longnecker nor any of its affiliates provided any services to the Company or any of its affiliates during 2018 except for the executive compensation consulting services provided to the Compensation Committee. In 2018, Longnecker’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 2018 Peer Group, as described below; and (iii) advising the Compensation Committee with respect to the amount and form of compensation for the Named Executive Officers, as described below. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Longnecker and believes its engagement of Longnecker raises no conflicts of interest with the Company or any of its Board members or executive officers.

Company’s 2018 Peer Group. The Compensation Committee, with the advice of Longnecker, 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 for 2018. 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, revenue market capitalization, target markets, asset quality, financial and organization structure, as well as companies which potentially compete for executive talent.



Camden Property Trust Peer Group
American Campus Communities, Inc.	Liberty Property Trust
American Homes 4 Rent	Macerich Company Properties, Inc.
Apartment Investment and Management Co.	National Retail Properties, Inc.
Douglas Emmett, Inc.	Regency Centers Corporation
Duke Realty Corporation	Sun Communities, Inc.
Equity Commonwealth	Taubman Centers, Inc.
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.	UDR, Inc.
Extra Space Storage Inc.	Weingarten Realty Investors
Federal Realty Investment Trust

Elements of Total Annual Direct Compensation

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

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



Compensation Element	Purpose
Base Salary	Attract and retain high-performing leaders with a competitive level of fixed compensation that reflects responsibilities, experience, value to the Company, and demonstrated performance.
Annual Incentive	Motivate executives to achieve financial and non-financial key performance objectives.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation	Align the interests of executives with shareholders by tying award values to long-term Company performance and promote retention and stability among the management team.



		2019 Proxy Statement 27



Table of Contents

Base Salary

In reviewing and adjusting the base salary levels for the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee considers the factors discussed on page 26 u nder 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 as well as individual goals which relate to their respective areas of responsibility.

2018 Increases. The Compensation Committee increased each Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary level in 2018. The Compensation Committee determined these increases were reasonable based on its review of salary levels for similar positions in the peer group of companies in order to maintain competitive salary levels for the Named Executive Officers. Mr. Jessett's base salary was significantly below the median level for similar positions at the peer group of companies. Accordingly, in order to bring his base salary level closer to the median level for those similar positions, his base salary increase was larger than the base salary increases for the other Named Executive Officers. The following table provides the 2017 and 2018 salaries for each Named Executive Officer.



Named Executive Officer	2017 Salary		2018 Salary		% Change
Richard J. Campo	$	533,266	$	549,264	3.0%
D. Keith Oden	533,266		549,264		3.0%
H. Malcolm Stewart	451,609		465,157		3.0%
Alexander J. Jessett	394,000		450,000		14.2%
William W. Sengelmann	387,000		400,000		3.4%

Short-Term Incentives

Annual Bonus. The Compensation Committee has established a bonus target, as a percentage of base salary, for each Named Executive Officer. The 2018 target bonus percentage for each of Messrs. Campo and Oden was 250%, and the target bonus percentage for each of the other Named Executive Officers was 200%. In determining the target bonus for each Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee takes into account the factors discussed on page 26 under Competitive 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% of his target bonus.

To more fully tie compensation to long-term performance, Named Executive Officers may elect to receive up to 50% of their annual bonuses in Camden shares. To the extent a Named Executive Officer elects to receive shares, the price used to determine the number of shares is two-thirds of our share price at the time the shares are issued (i.e., the value of the shares at the time of grant is 150% of the value of the cash portion of the annual bonus the Named Executive Officer would have otherwise received). Historically, most Named Executive Officers have elected to receive the maximum 50% in shares (and all of the Named Executive Officers elected to receive the maximum in shares for 2018), further tying each officer's compensation to longer term shareholder value creation. To provide an additional retention incentive, the shares issued pursuant to these grants vest 25% on the grant date and 25% on February 15 ^th of each of the next three years ¹ .

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



		2019 Proxy Statement 28



Table of Contents

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



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

Step 2 Setting Other Performance Objectives	For Named Executive Officers other than Messrs. Campo and Oden, the Compensation Committee approves other performance objectives for the executive and his individual area of responsibility. These objectives take into account the recommendations of the Chairman of the Board/CEO and the 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 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.
	Messrs. Campo and Oden Mr. Stewart Messrs. Jessett and Sengelmann	100% Company performance 75% Company/25% Individual 50% Company/50% Individual

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

Listed below are the Company performance goals which were established for 2018 and utilized by the Compensation Committee to determine 2018 annual bonuses for the Named Executive Officers, along with the weightings assigned to each goal and the Company’s 2018 performance and achievement of the performance goals. These goals and weightings were also used by the Compensation Committee to determine performance awards and long-term compensation payments for the Named Executive Officers for 2018 as discussed in more detail below.



Performance Criteria	Weight	Threshold Goal (75% Payout)	Target Goal (100% Payout)	Maximum (150% Payout)	Actual Performance	Achievement

For Messrs. Stewart, Jessett and Sengelmann, the goals and weightings were based on both corporate and individual performance. The following individual goals, with the weightings set forth below, were established for 2018 and utilized by the Compensation Committee, in conjunction with the achievement of the corporate goals discussed above, to determine the 2018 annual bonus and long term compensation payments:



Executive/Weightings	Metric	Weighting
	The achievement of same property NOI budget	35%
	The completion of construction and facilities projects in accordance with the time schedule and budget	25%
	The management of various Company strategic and business programs	15%
	The achievement of same property revenue growth in the top half of market competitors	10%
	The achievement of departmental budgets	5%
	The effectiveness in training, mentoring, and developing management personnel	5%
	The effectiveness in developing and promoting corporate culture to employees	5%

	The effectiveness in supervising financial reporting and forecasting and related functions, systems, and personnel	40%
	The effectiveness in managing the Company’s balance sheet	40%
	The effectiveness in managing the Company’s insurance function	10%
	The effectiveness in overseeing the Company's internal audit function	5%
	The effectiveness in communicating Camden vision, strategy and culture to employees	5%

	The consummation of the targeted level of acquisitions	30%
	The completion of developments at or above targeted yields and budgets	20%

As described above, each of the Named Executive Officers elected to receive 50% of the executive's annual bonus in the form of a share award. The following table shows each Named Executive Officer's total 2018 annual bonus before the share award conversion and the portion of each Named Executive Officer's 2018 annual bonus paid that was paid in cash, with the balance having been converted to a share award as described above.



Named Executive Officer	Total 2018 Annual Bonus		Portion of 2018 Annual Bonus Paid in Cash
Richard J. Campo	$	1,627,921	$	813,961
D. Keith Oden	1,627,921		813,961
H. Malcolm Stewart	1,201,700		600,850
Alexander J. Jessett	1,098,500		549,250
William W. Sengelmann	882,300		441,150

The amounts of the annual bonus paid to each Named Executive Officer in the form of cash and share awards are set forth in the table below under “2018 Compensation Decisions” in the columns under “Annual Bonus.” (page 34 ). In accordance with SEC rules, the portion of the annual bonus paid in cash is reported in the Summary Compensation Table (page 37 ) in the column under “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” for 2018, while the portion of the annual bonus paid in shares will be reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2020 annual meeting in the column under “Stock Awards” because the shares are not issued until 2019.

Performance Award . The compensation program provides for an additional award linked to corporate annual performance. The objective of the award program is to reward individuals for the achievement of specific corporate goals, which the Compensation Committee believes correlate closely with growth of long-term shareholder value. These goals are outlined on page 30 under Performance Criteria.

The Named Executive Officers are awarded notional common shares, which do not represent actual common shares, the number of which is based upon their position with the Company and is set forth in the table below. The notional shares expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The number of notional shares held by each Named Executive Officer in 2018 was the same as in 2017. No Named Executive Officer received any additional notional shares in 2018. The holders of notional shares receive an annual cash payment equal to their number of notional shares multiplied by a percentage of the actual dividend rate declared during the year for holders of the Company’s common shares based on the achievement of corporate performance goals.

Based on the weighted achievement level of corporate goals under the performance award program being 132%, each of the Named Executive Officers received the following cash payments in 2018 under the Performance Award Program for performance in 2018 based on the following number of notional shares held by the Named Executive Officer:



Named Executive Officer	Number of Notional Shares	2018 Cash Payments
Richard J. Campo	60,000	$	243,936
D. Keith Oden	60,000	243,936
H. Malcolm Stewart	50,000	203,280
Alexander J. Jessett	35,000	142,296
William W. Sengelmann	35,000	142,296

These cash payments are reflected in the table below under “2018 Compensation Decisions” in the column entitled “Performance Award” (page 34 ), and are included in the column entitled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” of the Summary Compensation Table (page 37 ).

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

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



		2019 Proxy Statement 32



Table of Contents

Executive Officers over a multi-year period directly with the interests of shareholders by motivating and rewarding creation and preservation of long-term shareholder value. To further this objective, we have adopted Share Ownership Guidelines as described on page 15 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 26 under Competitive Considerations.

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

Long-Term Compensation Awards . In February 2019, the Compensation Committee awarded share awards to each Named Executive Officer.

As described above, each Named Executive Officer also elected to receive a portion of his annual bonus for 2018 in the form of a share award (with the balance of the bonus being paid in cash as reflected in the table on page 38 ). The number of shares subject to each annual bonus share award and each 2018 annual share award granted by the Company is set forth below.



Named Executive Officer	Grant Date	Number of Shares	Award Type
Richard J. Campo ¹	2/14/19	11,818	Share Award
	2/14/19	12,382	Annual Bonus-Share Award
D. Keith Oden ¹	2/14/19	11,818	Share Award

Alexander J. Jessett	2/14/19	4,564	Share Award
	2/14/19	8,355	Annual Bonus-Share Award
William W. Sengelmann	2/14/19	4,428	Share Award
	2/14/19	6,711	Annual Bonus-Share Award

¹ Mr. Campo's then-unvested share awards will vest in August 2019, the date he will become Retirement Eligible. Mr. Oden's then-unvested share awards will vest in August 2021, the date he will become Retirement Eligible. Mr. Stewart became Retirement Eligible in 2016 and all new share awards granted to him vest on date of grant. None of the other Named Executive Officers are currently Retirement Eligible.

Subject to the Retirement Eligible designation and the acceleration of awards as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below, (i) share awards made in 2018 vest in three equal annual installments beginning on February 15 ^th in the year following the year of grant; and (ii) annual bonus share awards vest 25% immediately on the date of grant and 25% in three equal annual installments beginning on February 15 ^th in the year following the year of grant. As noted above, the price used to determine the number of shares subject to the annual bonus share awards is two-thirds of our share price at the time the shares are issued (i.e., the value of the shares at the time of grant is 150% of the value of the portion of the annual bonus the Named Executive Officer would have otherwise received if a cash payment had been elected). The grant date fair values of the annual bonus and other share awards granted in February 2019 will be included in the Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards tables in the proxy statement for the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders.

In February 2018, the Compensation Committee also approved annual bonus and annual bonus share awards for each of the Named Executive Officers based on 2017 performance. These awards are described in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2018 annual meeting. Pursuant to SEC rules, the grant date fair values of the annual bonus and other share awards granted in February 2018 are included in the Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards tables below in this proxy statement as 2018 compensation.

2018 Compensation Decisions

The table below presents the 2018 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 2018 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 2019 are shown in the table below as 2018 compensation) as the Compensation Committee considers them to be compensation for the just-completed year. While compensation reported in the 2018 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 2019 will not, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, be shown in the Summary Compensation Table until our 2020 Proxy Statement as 2019 compensation). This table supplements, and does not replace, the 2018 Summary Compensation Table on page 37 .

The dollar amount reported is the aggregate grant date fair value of share awards granted in February 2019 computed in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in note 12 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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.

Deferred Compensation Plans and Termination Payments

Deferred Compensation Plans . The Company 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’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 Company 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 and retain talent in a competitive market. Benefits which would be provided in connection with a change in control are also



		2019 Proxy Statement 34



Table of Contents

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 45 ). The Company's agreements with its Named Executive Officers that include tax gross-up provisions were entered into prior to 2010. 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

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) on the payment of compensation. 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 and avoiding short-term rewards for management decisions which could pose long-term risks to the Company, as follows:

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 business is not managed for the long-term.

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.


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



		2019 Proxy Statement 35



Table of Contents

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.

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 2018, 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-2018 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 12 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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 2018. As discussed above in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, in February 2019 the Compensation Committee granted annual share awards to the Named Executive Officers, assessed the Company’s performance level for 2018, and determined 2018 annual bonuses based on that assessment. The Compensation Committee's view is that all share awards granted in February 2019 relate to 2018. However, in accordance with applicable SEC rules, the cash bonuses awarded based on 2018 performance are reported in the Summary Compensation Table as compensation for 2018, while the share grants awarded in February 2019 will be reported in the executive compensation tables in next year’s proxy statement as compensation for fiscal 2019.

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):

Granted in February 2018 under the long-term incentive program for performance in 2017. The award vests in three equal annual installments beginning on February 15 ^th following the first anniversary of the date of the grant (subject to the Retirement Eligible provision as defined on page 28 and acceleration provisions upon certain terminations of employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 45 ).

(5)

Granted in February 2018 under the annual bonus program for performance in 2017. The award vests 25% on the date of grant and 25% on February 15 ^th of each of the next three years (subject to the Retirement Eligible provision as defined on page 28 and acceleration provisions upon certain terminations of employment as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 45 ).


(6)	Granted pursuant to the exercise of “reload” options. The award vests 10% on the first two anniversaries of the date of grant and 80% on the third anniversary of the date of grant.


(7)	Granted pursuant to the exercise of “reload” options. The award vests 10% on the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and 60% on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant.


(8)	Granted pursuant to the exercise of “reload” options. The reloaded options are fully vested on the date of grant. The fair values of the option awards were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, resulting in an estimated fair value of $4.11 of options granted.


(9)	Mr. Stewart's awards were fully vested at the date of grant as he is Retirement Eligible.

Pursuant to the Company’s 2002 Share Incentive Plan, upon the vesting of 20,000 or more options, the holder had the right to exercise some or all of their vested options by paying the exercise price with shares (the “ Mature Shares ”) which had been held by the holder for at least six months prior to the exercise date (the “ Incentive Exchange Right ”). Upon the exercise of options through this right, the holder would be deemed to have exchanged the Mature Shares for replacement shares without the requirement of tendering the Mature Shares to the Company, and would receive a number of additional shares from the Company equal to the total number of shares covered by the options minus the number of Mature Shares used to pay the exercise price for the options (the “ Incentive Payment Shares ”). As of the date of this filing and as noted below, no stock options remain outstanding with these Incentive Exchange Rights.

Upon the exercise of this right, the holder received a share grant by depositing with the Company 25% of the Incentive Payment Shares. Upon deposit of these shares, the Company granted to the holder a number of shares in an amount equal to 32.5% of the Incentive Payment Shares. These additional Incentive Payment Shares received from the Company were allocated between “Bonus Shares” and “Additional Bonus Shares” and were subject to time-based vesting as follows:



Allocation of Additional Incentive Payment Shares		Vesting
Bonus Shares	19.25%	10% year 1 10% year 2 80% year 3
Additional Bonus Shares	80.75%	10% year 1 10% year 2 10% year 3 10% year 4 60% year 5

If a holder terminates his employment prior to the completion of these periods, the unvested portion of the Bonus Shares and the Additional Bonus Shares are forfeited.

Upon exercise of this right, the number of options as to which this right was exercised were “reloaded” and reissued to the holder, with these reissued options representing the right to purchase a number of shares equal to the number of options exercised less the number of Incentive Payment Shares. Upon being reloaded, each reload option again represented the right to purchase a share at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the share on the date of the notice of exercise of the Incentive Exchange Right. The reloaded options were fully vested on the date of issuance and the exercise period was the lesser of (i) ten years or (ii) the term of the original option, beginning on the date of exercise of the options being reloaded. In 2018, Messrs. Campo and Oden exercised the remaining reload options and received additional shares upon such exercise and also received additional options upon such exercise.

This was a historical process for those participants that received options under the Company’s 2002 Share Incentive Program. It is important to note this is not currently an “on-going” process with regards to awards issued under the Company’s 2011 and 2018 Share Incentive Plans, none of the Company’s equity awards granted in 2018 carry these Incentive Payment Share and reload option rights, and all of the Company’s obligations to grant Incentive Payment Shares and reload options with respect to past award grants have been satisfied as of the date of this filing.

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with each of Messrs. Campo, Oden, Stewart, Jessett, and Sengelmann. The agreements with Messrs. Campo and Oden expire on July 22, 2019. However, on July 22 of each year, the expiration date of the agreements with Messrs. Campo and Oden will automatically be extended by one additional year so as a result of such extension the then remaining term of employment will be one year. The agreements with Messrs. Stewart, Jessett, and Sengelmann expire on August 20, 2019. However, on August 20 of each year, the expiration date of the agreements with Messrs. Stewart, Jessett, and Sengelmann will automatically be extended by one additional year, unless either party provides notice of termination at least six months prior to the date of expiration. Messrs. Campo and Oden each received an annual base salary of $549,264 for 2018 and Messrs. Stewart, Jessett, and Sengelmann received a 2018 annual base salary of $465,157 , $450,000 , and $400,000 , respectively. The agreements generally provide that an executive’s annual base salary may be increased, but it may not be decreased, by the Company. The agreements also provide each such Named Executive Officer is eligible for annual incentive compensation and long-term compensation as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, and to health/dental insurance, life insurance, disability insurance and similar benefits available to employees. Each employment agreement contains provisions relating to compensation payable to the respective Named Executive Officer in the event of a change in control of the Company (in the case of Messrs. Campo, Oden and Stewart) or a termination of such Named Executive Officer’s employment, which provisions are described below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” (page 45 ). Each employment agreement includes a confidentiality covenant and twelve month post-termination non-compete and non-solicitation covenants (provided that the non-compete and non-solicitation covenants will not apply in the case of a termination by the Company without cause, or, in the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, by the executive with good reason). The employment agreements also provide that the executive is entitled to reimbursement of legal fees and expenses related to disputes regarding the employment agreement following a change in control of the Company.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

Effective January 1, 2005, the Compensation Committee established 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, options, and/or share awards granted under the Company’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’s deferred compensation plan in 2005, the Compensation Committee established a rabbi trust for the benefit of the Company’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’s deferred compensation plan in 2005.

The following table provides certain information regarding contributions to, withdrawals from and earnings in the rabbi trust and the deferred compensation plan as of December 31, 2018:

(1) Reflects 2018 share awards the Named Executive Officer elected to defer; the grant date fair values of these awards are included in the “Stock Awards” column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 37 . The Company credits to the participant’s account an amount equal to the amount designated as the participant’s deferral for the plan year as indicated in the participant’s deferral election. A participant has a fully-vested right to his cash deferral amounts, and the deferred share awards will vest in accordance with their terms. Amounts deferred by the participants in 2018 are comprised of the following share awards: Messrs. Campo and Oden-$2,173,069 each; Mr. Stewart-$1,580,060; Mr. Jessett-$1,106,348; and Mr. Sengelmann-$993,918.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following summarizes the potential compensation payable to each Named Executive Officer under his employment agreement in the event of a termination of such Named Executive Officer’s employment (or, in the case of Messrs. Campo, Oden and Stewart, a change in control of the Company without regard to whether the executive’s employment terminates). The amounts shown assume such termination (or change in control) was effective as of December 31, 2018 and therefore include amounts earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid the Named Executive Officers upon such event. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of such event. Under the employment agreements, in all events the Company is obligated to pay all salary and benefits accrued to the Named Executive Officer through and including the date of termination. Additionally, each Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive the target bonus for the contract year during which the termination occurs, prorated through and including the date of termination.

(1)	If the executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for reasons other than for cause or, in the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, by the Named Executive Officer for good reason, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive the following benefits, subject, in the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, to the executive signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company:

(a)

Severance: In the case of Messrs. Stewart, Jessett and Sengelmann, one times his respective annual base salary currently in effect and, in the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, a lump sum equal to 2.99 times the greater of his respective current annual total compensation or his average annual total compensation over the three previous taxable years. For these purposes, “annual total compensation” includes salary, bonuses, performance award payments and the value of long-term incentive compensation, but excludes the value of untaxed fringe benefits.

(b)

Benefits: The Named Executive Officer will continue to receive health and welfare benefits, as if the Named Executive Officer had not been terminated, until, in the case of Messrs. Stewart, Jessett and Sengelmann, the earlier of (i) the Named Executive Officer obtaining employment with another company or (ii) the end of the employment term, and, in the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, one year after termination, subject to offset if the executive receives comparable benefits from a new employer during such period.


(c)	Vesting: Messrs. Campo and Oden will become fully vested in the unvested portion of any award made with respect to any retirement, pension, profit sharing, long-term incentive, or other similar plan.

(2) If the employment term is terminated by reason of death or disability, the Named Executive Officer will be entitled to receive the following benefits, subject, in the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, to signing a general release of claims in favor of the Company:



		2019 Proxy Statement 46



Table of Contents

(a)

Severance: In the case of Messrs. Stewart, Jessett and Sengelmann, one times his respective annual base salary, including targeted cash bonus, at the date on which death or disability occurs, and, in the case of Messrs. Campo and Oden, a lump sum equal to 2.99 times the greater of his respective current annual total compensation or his average annual total compensation over the three previous taxable years.


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


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

(3)

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


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


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


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


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

(5)

The amounts represent the benefit of acceleration of unvested options and share awards based upon the Company’s share price as of December 31, 2018. For options, this value is calculated by multiplying the amount (if any) by which the closing price of our common shares on the last trading day of the fiscal year exceeds the exercise price of the award by the number of shares subject to the accelerated portion of the award. For share awards, this value is calculated by multiplying the closing price of our common shares on the last trading day of the fiscal year by the number of shares subject to the accelerated portion of the award.

(6)

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

CEO Compensation Pay Ratio

Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are required to disclose in this proxy statement the ratio of the total annual compensation of our 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 determined that our CEO’s total compensation for 2018 was $4,009,587 , and the median of the total 2018 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) was $52,451. Accordingly, we estimate the ratio of our CEO’s total compensation for 2018 to the median of the total 2018 compensation of all of our employees (excluding our CEO) to be 76 to 1.

We identified the median employee by taking into account the total cash compensation paid for 2018 for all individuals, excluding our CEO, who were employed by us or one of our affiliates on December 1, 2018, 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 2018, and we did not annualize the compensation for any employees who were not employed by us for all of 2018. 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 2018 was determined using the same rules that apply to reporting the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (including



		2019 Proxy Statement 47



Table of Contents

our CEO) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. The total compensation amounts included in the first paragraph of this pay-ratio disclosure were determined based on that methodology.

Equity Compensation Plans

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



Plan category	Number of Common Shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights		Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights			Number of Common Shares remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding shares reflected in the first column)

Equity compensation plans not approved by shareholders	N/A		N/A			N/A
Total	2,422,805		$	—		2,864,481


(1)	This number of shares includes 1,694,246 shares of our common stock subject to options outstanding under our Rabbi Trust Plan, as amended, and 728,559 shares of our common stock subject to outstanding Restricted Share Units (RSUs) awarded under our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended.


(2)	The weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options is calculated exclusive of options outstanding under our Rabbi Trust Plan, and RSUs issued under our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, and there were no other options outstanding to be issued.

(3)

This number of shares is presented after giving effect to the 7,984 shares purchased under the 2018 ESPP for the purchase period that ended December 15, 2018. Of the aggregate number of shares that remained available for future issuance, 2,372,465 were available under the 2018 Share Plan and 492,016 were available under the 2018 ESPP. The shares available for awards under the 2018 Share Plan are, subject to certain other limits under the plan, generally available for any type of award authorized under the 2018 Share Plan, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock bonuses and other stock-based awards. No new awards may be granted under the 2011 Share Plan.

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.

AUDIT COMMITTEE INFORMATION

Deloitte served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2018. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They are also expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, and it is available on the Investors' section of the Company’s website at www.camdenliving.com.

The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, and each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the requirements for independence as set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and Sections 303A.02 and 303A.07(b) of the NYSE’s listing standards and each member is free from any relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment as a member of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting, and discussed these matters with representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and with appropriate Company financial personnel, including the internal auditors. The Audit Committee also met privately with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm, senior management and internal auditors, each of whom has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee appointed Deloitte as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company after reviewing the firm’s performance and independence from management. Management has primary responsibility for the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the overall reporting process, including the Company’s system of internal controls.

The independent registered public accounting firm audited the annual consolidated financial statements prepared by management, expressed an opinion as to whether those consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and discussed with the Audit Committee any issues they believed should be raised with the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee reviewed with management and Deloitte the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and met separately with both management and Deloitte to discuss and review those consolidated financial statements and reports prior to issuance. The Audit Committee further reviewed and discussed with both management and Deloitte the Company’s process to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management has represented, and Deloitte has expressed its opinion, to the Audit Committee the consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Deloitte matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees .

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Deloitte’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Deloitte such firm’s independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

The Audit Committee also reappointed, subject to shareholder ratification, Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2019.

Independent Registered Accounting Firm Fees

The following summarizes the approximate aggregate fees billed to the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 by Deloitte, the Company’s principal independent registered public accounting firm, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates (collectively, “ Deloitte Entities ”):



	Total Approximate Fees
Type of Services ^(a)	2018		2017
Audit Fees ^(b)	$	1,517,593	$	1,359,338
Tax Fees ^(c)	138,505		146,090
All Other Fees	—		—
Total ^(d)	$	1,656,098	$	1,505,428


(a)	All such services provided to the Company by the Deloitte Entities during 2018 and 2017 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.


(b)	Fees for audit services billed in 2018 and 2017 include the following:

l Audit of annual financial statements;

l Reviews of quarterly financial statements; and

l Issuances of comfort letters, consents, and other services related to SEC matters.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has developed policies and procedures concerning its pre-approval of audit and non-audit services 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 associated with each proposed service. The Audit Committee believes providing a range of fees for a service 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.

PROPOSAL 2 - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has reappointed Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2019.

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



The Audit Committee, which has the sole authority to retain the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, recommends you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2019.

PROPOSAL 3 - 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 24 and the tables that follow for additional details about the Company’s executive compensation programs, including information about the 2018 compensation of the Named Executive Officers.

Shareholders approved the Company’s executive compensation at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of shareholders by an approximate 94.5% 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:


l	provides 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


l	generally 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 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2018 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

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 2020 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.



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

INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

Available Information

The Company uses its website as a channel of distribution for Company information, and the Company’s website address is www.camdenliving.com. The Company makes available free of charge in the Investors' section of its website its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and other reports the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC under the Exchange Act, including proxy statements and reports filed by officers and Trust Managers under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company also makes available in the Investors' section of its website under “Corporate Governance” its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Guidelines on Governance, Code of Ethical Conduct for Senior Financial Officers and the charters of its Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees and each is available in print, without charge, to any shareholder requesting a paper copy of the documents by contacting Investor Relations at the Company’s address at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2400, Houston, Texas 77046.

Shares Outstanding

All shareholders of record on the close of business on March 11, 2019 are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. On March 11, 2019, the Company had 99,206,736 common shares outstanding; of this amount, 2,532,070 common shares were held in the Company’s deferred benefit plans and are not entitled to vote. Each voting share is entitled to one vote.

Availability of Proxy Materials

The Company is pleased to continue to take advantage of the SEC rule which allows companies to furnish proxy materials to their shareholders over the Internet. As a result, the Company has mailed to most of its shareholders a Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a printed copy of all of the proxy materials. The Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials you received provides instructions on how to access and review the Company’s proxy materials, submit your vote on the Internet and request a printed copy of the Company’s proxy materials. The Company believes this process of sending you the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials reduces the environmental impact of printing and distributing hard copy materials and lowers the cost of printing and distribution.

If you previously requested printed copies of the proxy materials, the Company has provided you with printed copies of the proxy materials instead of the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials. If you would like to reduce the environmental impact and the costs the Company incurs in mailing proxy materials, you may elect to receive all future proxy materials electronically via the Internet. To request electronic delivery, please follow the instructions provided with your proxy materials and on your proxy card for electronic delivery of future proxy materials.

The Company’s annual report is being made available to all shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the annual meeting. The annual report is not incorporated into this proxy statement and should not be considered proxy solicitation material.

Voting

If on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, you are a “shareholder of record.” As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the annual meeting or by proxy. To vote by proxy, sign and return the proxy card or submit your proxy via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card. Voting by proxy does not affect your right to vote in person at the annual meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, the Company urges you to vote by proxy.

If on the record date your shares were held through a broker, bank or other agent and not in your name, then you are a “beneficial owner.” If you are a beneficial owner, your shares are held in street name, as is the case for most of the Company’s shareholders. As a beneficial owner, you should have received a voting instruction form with the voting instructions from the organization holding your account, rather than from the Company, and you have the right to direct how the shares in your



		2019 Proxy Statement 59



Table of Contents

account are to be voted. Please complete and mail the voting instruction form as instructed to ensure your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet if permitted by your bank, broker or other agent by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials or voting instruction form. As a beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not a shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the annual meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your bank, broker or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with the proxy materials, or contact your bank, broker or other agent to request such form of proxy.

You may vote “For” all of the nominees for Trust Manager or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee you specify. You may vote “For” or “Against,” or “Abstain” from voting, for the ratification of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2019, and on the advisory vote on executive compensation,.

If you indicate a choice on your proxy on a particular matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted as indicated.

If you are a shareholder of record and you return a signed proxy card but do not indicate how you wish to vote, the shares will be voted for all of the nominees for Trust Manager, for ratification of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for 2018 and for approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation. If you do not sign a proxy card, your shares will not be voted and will not be deemed present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum exists.

If you are a beneficial owner and the organization holding your account does not receive instructions from you as to how to vote those shares, under the rules of the NYSE, that organization may exercise discretionary authority to vote on routine proposals (such as the proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) but may not vote on non-routine proposals (such as the other matters). As a beneficial owner, you will not be deemed to have voted on such non-routine proposals. The shares which cannot be voted by banks, brokers, or other agents on non-routine matters are called broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will be deemed present at the annual meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists for the annual meeting. Broker non-votes will make a quorum more readily obtainable, but will not be counted as votes cast.

For election of Trust Managers, abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the vote outcome. For ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, an abstention will have the same effect as an “Against” vote, and as this is a routine matter, there will not be any broker non-votes. For approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation, an abstention will have the same effect as an “Against” vote, but a broker non-vote will not affect the vote outcome.

Revoking a Proxy

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the annual meeting by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date to the Company’s principal executive offices at 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2400, Houston, Texas 77046, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Such notice or later dated proxy must be received by the Company prior to the annual meeting. You may also revoke your proxy by attending the annual meeting and voting in person.

If you are a beneficial owner, please contact your broker, bank or other agent for instructions on how to revoke your proxy.

Quorum

The Company needs a quorum of shareholders to hold its annual meeting. A quorum exists when at least a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares entitled to vote on the record date are represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy or vote at the annual meeting. Shareholders who vote “Abstain” on any proposal and discretionary votes by brokers, banks and related agents on the routine proposal to ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent registered accounting firm will be counted towards the quorum requirement.

Table of Contents

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 2018, 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 2018.

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 ” ) in 2005, Summit entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with William F. Paulsen, who is a Trust Manager. The Company assumed this agreement as a result of the merger with Summit and subsequently entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Paulsen, which was effective as of the effective time of the merger with Summit on February 28, 2005. Pursuant to the separation agreement, as of the effective time of the merger, Mr. Paulsen resigned as an officer and director of Summit and all entities related to Summit, and the employment agreement between Summit and Mr. Paulsen was terminated. Also pursuant to the separation agreement, Mr. Paulsen continues to receive health benefits at a cost comparable to those paid by similarly situated employees, secretarial and computer-related services, and office facilities for the remainder of his life, which payments totaled $ 150,211 in 2018.

In September 2018, we entered into an agreement with certain holders of common units of limited partnership interest in one of our consolidated operating partnerships, Camden Summit Partnership, L.P. ("CSPLP"), which holders include Mr. Paulsen and William B. McGuire, Jr. This agreement modifies the original terms of the Tax Protection Agreement dated



		2019 Proxy Statement 61



Table of Contents

February 28, 2005 which states the CSPLP must maintain a certain amount of secured debt until February 28, 2020 to protect the negative tax capital of the unitholders or reimburse the unitholders for income taxes incurred from the repayment of this indebtness. Pursuant to the agreement, CSPLP incurred $100.0 million of unsecured debt with an unrelated third party which was guaranteed by Camden. Additionally, each such unitholder agreed to indemnify Camden for their portion of the unsecured debt equal to the amount of income and gain which would be required to be recognized by the applicable unitholder due to their negative tax capital account; the indemnities are for a one-year period with an annual renewal right. For Mr. Paulsen and Mr. McGuire, these amounts would be $10.0 million and $11.2 million, respectively. In return, CSPLP agreed to extend the duration of the Tax Protection Agreement for two years for each year such unitholder's indemnification agreement remains in place.
