Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 8, 2023 (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Paramount Group, Inc. (the “Company”), granted equity awards (the “Awards”) to a broad group of employees of the Company, including its named executive officers (as identified in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), to further incentivize and align the employees and executive officers of the Company with stockholders and to support employee retention (the “Incentive and Retention Plan”).

The Awards granted under the Incentive and Retention Plan will be subject to performance-based and service-based vesting conditions and post-vesting holding restrictions, as described below, and are intended to be in lieu of the Company’s annual equity awards that would otherwise be granted in January 2024 and January 2025. The Committee was advised by its independent compensation consultant in connection with the grant of the Awards.

The Awards consist of (i) performance-based AOLTIP units of Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), the operating partnership of the Company (the “Performance-Based AOLTIP Units”) and (ii) service-based LTIP units of the Operating Partnership Units (the “Service-Based LTIP Units”).

Named executive officers received a combination of Performance-Based AOLTIP Units and Service-Based LTIP Units and other employees received only Service-Based LTIP Units. On the Grant Date, Messrs. Behler, Paes, Brindley, and Johnson received 4,460,424, 1,621,973, 1,081,315, and 354,807 Performance-Based AOLTIP Units, respectively, and 1,037,736, 566,038, 377,359, and 123,821 Service-Based LTIP Units, respectively. An aggregate of 2,007,090 Service-Based LTIP Units were granted to other employees.

The Performance-Based AOLTIP Units are subject to service-based vesting conditions, with 20% of the units vesting on October 1, 2026, and 80% of the units vesting on October 1, 2027, subject to continued employment as of each such date, and subject to an additional one-year post-vesting transfer restriction.

The Performance-Based AOLTIP Units are also subject to performance-based vesting conditions based on the appreciation of the Company’s common stock price during the term of the awards in excess of the closing stock price on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date, which was $5.12. The Performance-Based AOLTIP Units will only be earned and eligible to be converted into common units of the Operating Partnership (“Common Units”) if the highest consecutive 20-trading day average closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE exceeds the performance levels set forth below during the 10-year term of the Performance-Based AOLTIP Units, subject to linear interpolation for performance between levels.


Performance Level	20-Trading Day Average Common Stock Price Appreciation Above Grant Date Price	20-Trading Day Average Common Stock Price	Percentage of AOLTIP Units Vested
Below Threshold	Less than 25%	Less than $6.40	0%
Threshold	25%	$6.40	33%
Target	50%	$7.68	67%
Maximum	75% or more	$8.96 or more	100%

Subject to satisfaction of the vesting conditions above and the terms of the Operating Partnership’s agreement of limited partnership, the Performance-Based AOLTIP Units are generally convertible into Common Units until the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date, with the number of Common Units into which each Performance-Based AOLTIP Unit may convert determined by reference to the amount by which the closing stock price on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion exceeds the closing stock price on the NYSE of the Company’s common stock on the Grant Date.

The Service-Based LTIP Units will be subject to service-based vesting conditions, with 50% of each Award vesting on October 1, 2026 and 50% of each Award vesting on October 1, 2027, subject to continued employment as of each such date. The Service-Based LTIP Units granted to named executive officers are also subject to an additional one-year post-vesting transfer restriction.

AOLTIP units and LTIP units are classes of units of the Operating Partnership that, following the occurrence of certain events and upon vesting, are convertible into Common Units. Common Units may be redeemed by the holder for cash or, at the Company’s election, shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. The Performance-Based AOLTIP Units and Service-Based LTIP Units will be administered under the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and will be subject to the terms of the Plan to the same extent as awards granted thereunder. Upon the determination of the Committee and subject to a sufficient number of Share Equivalents (as defined in the Plan) being available for issuance thereunder, the Performance-Based AOLTIP Units and Service-Based LTIP Units may become part of the Plan in the future. Prior to the time such awards are included in the Plan, any Common Units issued upon conversion of the Performance-Based AOLTIP Units and Service-Based LTIP Units, if tendered for redemption, will be settled in cash pursuant to the terms of the Common Units.

Upon certain qualified terminations of employment due to death or disability, by the Company without cause or by the employee with good reason occurring prior to February 1, 2025, the service-based vesting conditions for the Performance-Based AOLTIP Units and Service-Based LTIP Units will be deemed to have been satisfied with respect to 50% of each Award. Upon such a qualified termination of employment occurring on or after February 1, 2025, the service-based vesting conditions for the Performance-Based AOLTIP Units and Service-Based LTIP Units will be deemed to have been satisfied with respect to 100% of each award. For Mr. Behler, the continued vesting provisions of his employment agreement that apply in the event of a qualified retirement will not apply to his Awards if he gives notice of retirement prior to February 1, 2024 and will only apply to 50% of his Awards if he gives notice of retirement on or after February 1, 2024 and before February 1, 2025. In connection with any qualified termination, the performance-based vesting conditions of the Performance-Based AOLTIP Units will continue to apply.

In addition, and in contrast to annual equity awards previously granted by the Company, the Awards are subject to “double-trigger” vesting in connection with a change in control such that the service-based and performance-based vesting conditions of the Awards will continue to apply following a change in control, subject to the provisions governing qualified terminations.

Copies of the forms of Performance-Based AOLTIP Unit and Service-Based LTIP Unit award agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms of the Awards is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such award agreements.

AOLTIP UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Name of Participant: ____________ (the “Participant”)

No. of AOLTIP Units Awarded: ____________

Grant Date: September 8, 2023 (the “Grant Date”)

Final Conversion Date: September 8, 2033 (the “Final Conversion Date”)

AOLTIP Unit Participation Threshold: $5.12 (the “AOLTIP Unit Participation Threshold”)

RECITALS

A. The Participant is an officer of Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and provides services to Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations (the “Partnership”).

B. The Company hereby grants the Participant the number of AOLTIP Units (as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “LP Agreement”) of the Partnership) set forth above and hereby causes the Partnership to issue to the Participant such AOLTIP Units (the “Award AOLTIP Units”) having the rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption and conversion set forth herein and in the LP Agreement. Upon the close of business on the Grant Date pursuant to this AOLTIP Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Participant shall receive the Award AOLTIP Units, subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth herein, in the LP Agreement and, as set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement, in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Partnership and the Participant agree as follows:

Effectiveness of Award. The Participant shall be admitted as a partner of the Partnership with beneficial ownership of the Award AOLTIP Units as of the Grant Date by (i) signing and delivering to the Partnership a copy of this Agreement and (ii) signing, as a Limited Partner, and delivering to the Partnership a counterpart signature page to the LP Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit A). Upon execution of this Agreement by the Participant, the Partnership and the Company, the books and records of the Partnership shall reflect the issuance to the Participant of the Award AOLTIP Units. Thereupon, the Participant shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner of the Partnership with respect to a number of AOLTIP Units equal to

the Award AOLTIP Units, as set forth in the LP Agreement, subject, however, to the restrictions and conditions specified in Section 2 below.

Vesting of Award AOLTIP Units.

(a)

Service-Based Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 below, and subject to satisfaction of the performance-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Award AOLTIP Units shall become vested on the Vesting Date or Dates specified in the following schedule so long as the Participant remains an employee of the Employer on such Dates. If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the Award AOLTIP Units shall become vested only with respect to the number of Award AOLTIP Units specified as vested on each such date. There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting of Award AOLTIP Units in or during the months, days or periods between each Vesting Date.


Incremental Number of Award AOLTIP Units Vested	Vesting Date
(20%)	October 1, 2026
(80%)	October 1, 2027

(b)

Performance-Based Vesting. In addition to the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a), the Award AOLTIP Units are subject to performance-based vesting conditions during the period from the Grant Date through the Mandatory Conversion Date. To satisfy the performance-based vesting conditions, the Common Stock Price must equal or exceed the AOLTIP Unit Participation Threshold by the amounts set forth in the table below constituting Threshold, Target and Maximum performance as of any date during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the Mandatory Conversion Date. The percentage of Award AOLTIP Units that shall have satisfied the performance-based vesting conditions and, subject to satisfaction of the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) above, will be eligible to be converted into common units of the Partnership (the “Award Common Units”) in accordance with the terms of the LP Agreement shall be equal to the corresponding percentage set forth in the table below, subject to linear interpolation for performance between such performance levels. Once any performance hurdle has been achieved, including by linear interpolation, such hurdle shall be deemed to have been achieved for all purposes under this Agreement and the corresponding number of AOLTIP Units that have been deemed to satisfy the performance-based vesting conditions under this Agreement shall not be reduced.


Performance Level	Common Stock Price Appreciation Above AOLTIP Unit Participation Threshold	Common Stock Price	Percentage of AOLTIP Units Vested
Below Threshold	Less than 25%	Less than $6.40	0%
Threshold	25%	$6.40	33%
Target	50%	$7.68	67%
Maximum	75% or more	$8.96 or more	100%

Unless and until both the service-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) and (b), respectively, above have been satisfied with respect to an Award AOLTIP Unit, the Participant (or his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives, as applicable) will not have the right to convert such Award AOLTIP Unit into Award Common Units in accordance with the terms of the LP Agreement. If the performance-based vesting conditions have not been satisfied with respect to any Award AOLTIP Units on the Mandatory Conversion Date, such Award AOLTIP Unit, whether the service-based vesting condition has been satisfied or not, shall, without payment of any consideration by the Partnership, be forfeited and be and become null and void, and neither the Participant nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such Award AOLTIP Unit.

Conversion. From and after the date on which an Award AOLTIP Unit fully vests by satisfying both the service-based and performance-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2 above, it shall be convertible into Award Common Units in accordance with the terms of the LP Agreement. The Mandatory Conversion Date for the Award AOLTIP Units, for purposes of the LP Agreement, will be the Final Conversion Date (as set forth above). As set forth in the LP Agreement, any Award AOLTIP Units that have not been converted prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date will automatically be converted on such date. In addition, as set forth in the LP Agreement, the General Partner of the Partnership may elect to convert the Award AOLTIP Units upon the effective time of an AOLTIP Forced Conversion Event (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).

Distributions. Distributions on the Award AOLTIP Units shall be paid to the Participant to the extent provided for in the LP Agreement. The AOLTIP Unit Sharing Percentage (as defined in the LP Agreement) shall be 10%.

Termination of Employment.

(a)

Death or Disability. If the Participant’s employment with the Employer shall terminate by reason of death or Disability (i) prior to February 1, 2025, the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the Award AOLTIP Units or (ii) on or after February 1, 2025, the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Award AOLTIP Units and, in either case, any previously unvested Award AOLTIP Units shall automatically and without notice become vested, subject to satisfaction of the performance-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(b). Any Award AOLTIP Units held by the Participant that have not been deemed to satisfy the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) as of the date of termination shall automatically and without notice be forfeited and neither the Participant nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award AOLTIP Units.

(b)

Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s employment with the Employer shall be terminated by the Employer for Cause, any portion of the Award AOLTIP Units outstanding on such date shall be forfeited immediately and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.

(c)

Termination of Employment by the Employer Without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason. If the Participant’s employment with the Employer shall be terminated by the Employer for any reason other than Cause (or in connection with the Participant’s death or Disability pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof), or the Participant shall resign his or her employment for Good Reason, subject to the Participant signing a separation agreement containing, among other provisions, a release of claims and non-disparagement, confidentiality and return of property, in a form and manner satisfactory to the Employer (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 30 days after the date of such termination, then (i) if such termination occurs prior to February 1, 2025, the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the Award AOLTIP Units or (ii) if such termination occurs on or after February 1, 2025, the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Award AOLTIP Units and, in either case, any previously unvested Award AOLTIP Units shall become vested on the date that is 30 days following the date of such termination, subject to satisfaction of the performance-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(b). Any termination or forfeiture of unvested Award AOLTIP Units that otherwise would have occurred on or within 30 days after the Participant’s date of termination will be delayed until the 30th day after such date and will occur only to the extent such Award AOLTIP Units do not vest pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(a), above, no additional service-based vesting shall occur during this 30-day period following the Participant’s date of termination. Any Award AOLTIP Units held by the Participant that have not been deemed to satisfy the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) upon the conclusion of the 30-day period following the Participant’s date of termination shall automatically and without notice be forfeited and neither the Participant nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award AOLTIP Units.

(d)

[Qualified Retirement. If the Participant notifies the Employer of the Participant’s intent to retire, then (i) if notice of such retirement is given prior to February 1, 2024, then one hundred percent (100%) of the Award AOLTIP Units shall automatically and without notice be forfeited as of the date of such retirement and (ii) if notice of such retirement is given on or after February 1, 2024, but prior to February 1, 2025, then fifty percent (50%) of the Award AOLTIP Units shall automatically and without notice be forfeited as of the date of such retirement and, in either case, neither the Participant nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award AOLTIP Units. Any Award AOLTIP Units that remain outstanding following the Participant’s retirement shall continue to vest pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement if and as provided in any employment, change in control or other agreement or arrangement with the Employer; provided that, to the extent no such other agreement or arrangement exists, all Award AOLTIP Units that have not satisfied the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 2(a) shall automatically and without notice be forfeited and neither the Participant nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award AOLTIP Units.]

(e)

Other Termination of Employment. If the Participant’s employment with the Employer terminates for any reason other than those described above, any Award AOLTIP

Units held by the Participant that have not vested as of the date of such termination shall automatically and without notice be forfeited and neither the Participant nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Award AOLTIP Units.

Changes in Capitalization. Without duplication with the provisions of Section 3(b) of the Plan, if (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock of the Company or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than ordinary cash dividends, shall occur or (iii) any other event shall occur which in the judgment of the Administrator necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of this Agreement, then and in that event, the Administrator shall take such action as shall be necessary to maintain the Participant’s rights hereunder so that they are substantially proportionate to the rights existing under this Agreement prior to such event, including, but not limited to, adjustments in the number of Award AOLTIP Units then subject to this Agreement, the AOLTIP Unit Conversion Factor, the AOLTIP Unit Participation Threshold, the performance-based vesting conditions and substitution of other awards under the Plan or otherwise.

Incorporation of Plan; Interpretation by Administrator. The Award AOLTIP Units granted hereunder are not currently issued as equity securities under the Plan. However, all provisions of the Plan relating to administration of an Award under the Plan shall govern the Award AOLTIP Units and this Agreement as though the Award AOLTIP Units and this Agreement constituted an Award under the Plan regardless of whether corresponding Share Equivalents have or have not been reserved under the Plan as of any date. This Agreement is subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and definitions contained in the Plan, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The Administrator may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of this Agreement, which are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, as it deems appropriate.

Except as otherwise permitted by the Administrator, none of the Award AOLTIP Units granted hereunder nor any of the Award Common Units shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of, or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (each such action a “Transfer”) and the Redemption Right (as defined in the LP Agreement) may not be exercised with respect to the Award Common Units, provided that, for Award AOLTIP Units (and any Award Common Units into which such Award AOLTIP Units may be converted), at any time after the date that (i) such Award AOLTIP Units vest, (ii) is two (2) years after the Grant Date and (iii) is after the earlier of (I) one year after such Award AOLTIP Units satisfied the service-based vesting requirements set forth in this Agreement, (II) the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Employer or (III) a Change in Control, (A) such Award AOLTIP Units or Award Common Units may be Transferred to a charity or to the Participant’s Family Members (as defined below) by gift or domestic relations order, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company and the Partnership to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that subsequent Transfers shall be prohibited except those in accordance with this Section 9 and (B) the Redemption Right may be exercised with respect to such Award Common Units, and such Award Common Units may be Transferred to the Partnership or the Company in connection with the exercise of the Redemption Right, in accordance with and to the extent otherwise permitted

Additionally, all Transfers of Award AOLTIP Units or Award Common Units must be in compliance with all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the “Securities Act”) and the applicable terms and conditions of the LP Agreement. In connection with any Transfer of Award AOLTIP Units or Award Common Units, the Partnership may require the Participant to provide an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Partnership, that such Transfer is in compliance with all federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act).
