POST PROPERTIES, INC.
The following information supplements and amends the Proxy Statement, dated April 4, 2003 (the Proxy Statement), of Post Properties, Inc. (Post Properties) furnished to shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors (the Board) of Post Properties for use at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is scheduled to be held on Thursday, May 22, 2003, at 9:00 a.m. local time at One Riverside, 4401 Northside Parkway, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30327-3057 and at any adjournments or postponements thereof (the 2003 Annual Meeting). This Supplement, which should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, is first being furnished to shareholders of Post Properties on or about April 23, 2003.
Only holders of record of shares of common stock of Post Properties at the close of business on March 25, 2003 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2003 Annual Meeting.
On April 7, 2003, Mr. John A. Williams publicly announced his intention to seek to gain control of the Board by soliciting proxies in an effort to elect a slate of five nominees, selected by him, at the 2003 Annual Meeting. The five nominees that Mr. Williams is seeking to place on the Board are referred to herein as the Williams Nominees. Together with Mr. Williams, who currently is a Board member, the Williams Nominees, if elected, would constitute a majority of the membership of the entire Board.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS REJECT MR. WILLIAMS PROXY SOLICITATION AND THE WILLIAMS NOMINEES. THE BOARD URGES SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE BOARDS NOMINEES NAMED IN POST PROPERTIES PROXY STATEMENT.
YOU CAN VOTE YOUR SHARES BY SIGNING AND DATING THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD AND RETURNING IT IN THE POSTAGE-PAID RETURN ENVELOPE. IF YOU PREVIOUSLY VOTED ON MR. WILLIAMS GOLD PROXY CARD, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE. YOUR LATER DATED WHITE PROXY CARD WILL REVOKE ANY PRIOR PROXY. IT IS YOUR LATEST DATED PROXY WHICH COUNTS.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On April 4, 2003, Post Properties commenced mailing to its shareholders its Proxy Statement for the 2003 Annual Meeting.
On April 7, 2003, Mr. Williams publicly announced his intention to seek to gain control of the Board by soliciting proxies in an effort to elect his own slate of five director nominees to the Board at the 2003 Annual Meeting. On the same day, he filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Mr. Williams also announced that he had withdrawn his pending lawsuit against Post Properties, which is described in the Proxy Statement under the caption Executive Compensation Legal Proceedings Involving Directors.
On April 14, 2003, Mr. Williams announced that one of his five nominees was being replaced with a new nominee.
On April 16, 2003, Post Properties issued a press release stating its position with respect to Mr. Williams attempt to gain control of the Board. The text of the press release is as follows:
ATLANTA, April 16, 2003 Post Properties, Inc. (NYSE: PPS), an Atlanta-based real estate investment trust, today issued a statement regarding its position on the preliminary proxy statement filed by John Williams, Posts founder, former chairman and former CEO, in which he states his intention to solicit proxies in an effort to gain control of Posts Board of Directors. Mr. Williams holds (and is eligible to vote) approximately 2.3%* of Posts common stock. The Company stated: |
| Mr. Williams recent legacy at Post is one of overly rapid geographic expansion into unfamiliar markets, substantial cost overruns and missed schedules on new developments with lease-up rates below projections, and a series of quarterly earnings disappointments beginning with Posts October 2, 2000 pre-announcement and continuing through 2001. Posts total shareholder returns underperformed the multifamily peer group (as identified by Mr. Williams) for the five-year period prior to his resignation as CEO. | |
| Under David Stockerts leadership, the current management is proactively working to address the challenges created during Mr. Williams tenure as CEO and is committed to delivering improved operating performance and future growth. |
| Since last July, Posts property management team, with over 100 years of combined multifamily experience, has improved its relative same-property operating performance in Atlanta and Dallas, its two largest markets. | |
| The Company continues to reduce overhead and property operating costs. | |
| The Company is committed to continuing to build the Post brand by ensuring the quality of its properties. In Posts most recent independently conducted resident survey, the Company received the highest overall rating for resident satisfaction that it has received in the last two years. | |
| The Company continues to selectively sell assets in a highly competitive auction format in order to dispose of non-strategic properties, exit certain single-asset markets and strengthen the balance sheet. |
| Mr. Williams departure as CEO and Chairman was directly correlated to his failure to plan for the future and his reluctance to relinquish authority. Now, through his proxy contest, he is trying to undermine his appointed successor in order to regain control of Post. If Mr. Williams succeeds it is unlikely that the Company would be able to attract qualified management in the future. | |
| As a major unitholder, Mr. Williams faces tax considerations that are not shared by holders of common stock. For example, upon the sale of certain properties, unitholders like Mr. Williams could incur substantial tax liabilities without receiving corresponding cash distributions. Unitholders could also face unfavorable tax consequences in the case of the sale of the Company. These tax considerations result in a potential misalignment of interest between unitholders and the holders of Post common stock. | |
| Mr. Williams appears unable to distinguish between his own needs and those of the Company and its shareholders. In this regard, the Company recently received a third-party preliminary acquisition inquiry at only a slight premium which stated that it could accommodate the unitholders with special tax-deferred arrangements. The Board, other than Mr. Williams, decided that this inquiry did not warrant further pursuit. It was not surprising that Mr. Williams, the Companys largest unitholder, was the only board member with an interest in pursuing the inquiry. |
* | Subsequent to issuance of the April 16, 2003 press release, Post Properties learned that Mr. Williams had converted certain non-voting units into shares of common stock and that as a result, his percentage ownership of common stock is approximately 2.5%. |
2
| This proxy contest is about the long-term future of Post Properties. The current Board and management strongly believe that Post must be run like any other public company for the benefit of all shareholders and are committed to doing just that. |
Robert C. Goddard III, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Post Properties, said, Members of this Board have longstanding personal and professional relationships with John Williams and several have served with him on Posts Board for many years. Notwithstanding Mr. Williams many contributions to Post over the years, the Board has been dismayed by his failure to constructively support a transition to new leadership and his persistent efforts to undermine current management. Under Dave Stockerts leadership, the Board is confident that Post is now moving in the right direction. If Mr. Williams intends to solicit proxies, we are happy to put managements track record and plan up against his and let the shareholders decide. We look forward to moving beyond the distraction of Mr. Williams proxy contest, and to delivering on Posts potential and enhancing value for all Post shareholders. |
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
Participants in the Solicitation
Under applicable regulations of the SEC, members of the Board and certain officers and employees of Post Properties may be deemed to be participants with respect to Post Properties solicitation of proxies in connection with the 2003 Annual Meeting. Certain information concerning participants is set forth in the Proxy Statement, this Supplement and in Annex A hereto.
Separation Agreements
On April 9, 2003, Post Properties announced that R. Gregory Fox, Post Properties Chief Financial Officer, and Douglas S. Gray, Post Properties Executive Vice President of Asset Management, would be leaving Post Properties shortly. Messrs. Fox and Gray have agreed to continue in their current roles until their successors are identified. Post Properties is commencing a search to identify qualified candidates for the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer.
Post Properties is in the process of negotiating the separation agreements (the Separation Agreements) for Messrs. Fox and Gray, the material terms of which are described below. It is contemplated that the effective date (the Effective Date) of the Separation Agreements will be July 1, 2003 or such earlier date as the Chief Executive Officer may determine. Under the Separation Agreements, Messrs. Fox and Gray each will be entitled to certain payments and benefits. These payments and benefits include, among other things, the following:
| salary continuation for 52 weeks, beginning on the Effective Date ($315,000 for Mr. Fox and $210,000 for Mr. Gray), | |
| a lump sum payment on the Effective Date equal to 26 weeks of salary ($157,500 for Mr. Fox and $105,000 for Mr. Gray), | |
| the continuation of medical benefits for 52 weeks, beginning on the Effective Date (provided that such benefits will terminate upon enrollment in another health insurance plan), | |
| the restrictions on any restricted stock would lapse on the Effective Date, | |
| each individual will be treated as if he remained employed by Post Properties for purposes of determining the extent to which each has a right to exercise stock options, and |
3
| a bonus equal to the sum of: (i) the remaining principal balance and interest of any stock ownership loans made to each individual, less (ii) the net proceeds from the sale of the stock purchased with the stock ownership loan, plus (iii) the estimated tax liability resulting from such bonus. |
In addition, in May 2001, Post Properties loaned Mr. Fox $100,000 in order to allow him to purchase shares of its common stock. In connection with the May 2001 loan, Post Properties entered into an agreement to forgive the loan in installments equal to $20,000 each year. To date, Post Properties has forgiven $40,000 or 40% of the original principal amount of the loan. Under the Separation Agreement for Mr. Fox, Post Properties will pay Mr. Fox a bonus equal to: (i) the remaining principal balance and interest of the May 2001 loan, less (ii) the net proceeds from the sale of 60% of the stock purchased with the May 2001 loan, plus (iii) the estimated tax liability from such bonus.
Pursuant to the proposed terms of the Separation Agreements, Messrs. Fox and Gray each would agree to protect Post Properties confidential information. In addition, Messrs. Fox and Gray each would agree to refrain from soliciting Post Properties employees until December 31, 2004.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change of control occurs prior to the Effective Date, pursuant to the terms of Messrs. Foxs and Grays change of control agreements (which are described in the Proxy Statement and Annex A, respectively), both Mr. Fox and Mr. Gray will be deemed to have been terminated without cause as of the date of the change of control and the Separation Agreements will be null and void. In the event of a change of control, any payments or benefits due to Messrs. Fox or Gray would be determined under each individuals existing change of control agreement.
Glover Employment and Noncompetition Agreements
John T. Glover, a director and former Vice Chairman of the Board, entered into an employment agreement (the Glover Employment Agreement) with Post Properties, effective from January 1, 2002 until May 30, 2016. The Glover Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Glover would have the position of Vice Chairman of the Board. The Glover Employment Agreement also provides that Mr. Glover would receive a minimum base salary of $100,000. Mr. Glovers duties and responsibilities under the Glover Employment Agreement are part-time and consultative in nature. The Glover Employment Agreement provides for continued participation in Post Properties employee benefit plans as well as for the continuation of various executive perquisites consistent with perquisites provided under his previous employment agreement. The perquisites include the use of an aircraft in which Post Properties has a fractional ownership interest, an automobile allowance, and office space and secretarial services provided by Post Properties. If the Glover Employment Agreement is terminated by Post Properties without cause or by Mr. Glover after a change in duties or title or a change of control, Mr. Glover would continue to receive his current base salary and other benefits and perquisites until the end of the term of the Glover Employment Agreement, any unvested stock options would become immediately exercisable and the restriction on any restricted stock would lapse. Currently, all of Mr. Glovers options have vested and he does not own any restricted stock. In the event of a termination by Post Properties for cause, Mr. Glover would not be entitled to receive his current base salary or any of the perquisites and benefits provided exclusively by the Glover Employment Agreement. In the event that the Williams Nominees are elected to the Board at the 2003 Annual Meeting, a change of control will be deemed to have occurred under the Glover Employment Agreement. On February 20, 2003, Mr. Glover ceased to serve as Vice Chairman.
Mr. Glover has entered into a noncompetition agreement with Post Properties and Post Apartment Homes, L.P. This agreement prohibits him, subject to certain limited exceptions, from engaging in managerial responsibilities directly or indirectly in the development, operation, management, leasing or landscaping of any upscale multi-family community for the period of his employment by Post Properties or its affiliates and for two years from the termination of his employment and, subject again to certain exceptions and time limits, from soliciting employees or soliciting customers following a termination of employment or from divulging trade secrets or confidential information.

Williams Employment Agreement
On February 20, 2003, Mr. Williams ceased to serve as Chairman and was appointed as Chairman Emeritus. A summary of Mr. Williams employment agreement is described in the Proxy Statement under the caption Executive Compensation Noncompetition Agreements, Employment Agreements and Change of Control Agreements.
Certain Effects of a Change of Control
The current Board consists of eleven directors. Mr. Arthur M. Blank, a director of Post Properties, has informed Post Properties that he intends to resign from the Board at the time of the 2003 Annual Meeting. Accordingly, upon Mr. Blanks resignation, the Board will be reduced in size to ten members. If the Williams Nominees are elected to the Board at the 2003 Annual Meeting, Mr. Williams together with the Williams Nominees will hold six of ten positions on the Board and will constitute a majority of the Board. Under such circumstances, there may be a change of control under certain debt instruments and employee benefits plans of Post Properties. The debt instruments and benefits plans that could be affected by Mr. Williams proxy solicitation, if successful, are described below.
Lines of Credit
Post Properties principal operating partnership, Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (Post Apartment Homes), has a $320 million three-year syndicated revolving line of credit (the Revolver), which matures in April 2004. As of December 31, 2002, $185 million was outstanding under this facility. With respect to the Revolver, a change of control will occur if a majority of the members serving on the Board during any twelve month period cease to serve on the Board for any reason other than disability or death. If a change of control is deemed to occur, the administrative agent may terminate the Revolver at the direction of banks holding at least two-thirds of the total commitments under the Revolver and require Post Apartment Homes to repay any outstanding indebtedness under the Revolver.
Post Apartment Homes also has a $20 million unsecured line of credit, which matures in June 2003. As of December 31, 2002, $11.4 million was outstanding under this facility. With respect to this unsecured line of credit, a change of control will occur if a majority of the members comprising the Board during any twelve month period cease to serve on the Board for any reason other than retirement after age 59, disability or death. If a change of control is deemed to occur, the lender may elect to terminate this facility and require Post Apartment Homes to repay any outstanding indebtedness under it.
Senior Notes
As of December 31, 2002, Post Apartment Homes had $708 million of unsecured senior notes outstanding (collectively, the Senior Notes). Under the indentures governing the outstanding Senior Notes, if a default is deemed to occur with respect to other debt instruments (such as the Revolver) that results in Post Apartment Homes failure to pay outstanding indebtedness when due, such default may result in an event of default for the Senior Notes. Specifically, under the indentures of the Senior Notes, if a default is deemed to occur with respect to recourse indebtedness or under any mortgage or other similar encumbrance, indenture or instrument, including any indenture which secures any indebtedness or borrowed money, in excess of $5 million for Senior Notes issued prior to September 2000 and $20 million for all other Senior Note issuances, and such default results in acceleration of the maturity of the outstanding principal amount (unless such acceleration is rescinded or the indebtedness is discharged), this event will result in a cross-default under the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the holders thereof may declare the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes due and payable.
Fannie Mae Debt
Post Apartment Homes is party to a credit enhancement agreement with the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) with respect to certain outstanding tax-exempt bonds (the Tax Exempt
5
Employee Benefit Plans |
Under two of Post Properties employee benefit plans, the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Eligible Employees (the Deferred Compensation Plan) and the 2002 Shareholder Value Plan (collectively, the Plans), a change of control will be deemed to have occurred if the members who at the beginning of any period of two consecutive years or less constitute the Board cease for any reason during such period to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election or nomination for election of each new member of the Board was approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the Board then still in office who were members of the Board at the beginning of the applicable period.
If a change of control is deemed to occur under the Deferred Compensation Plan, participants who have elected to receive payment of deferred compensation upon a change of control will receive a portion of their deferred compensation at the time of such change of control. It is estimated that the aggregate amount of deferred compensation is approximately equal to $1 million. Further, in the event of a change of control, a rabbi trust, which holds assets to fund Post Properties obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan, will become irrevocable. As a result, Post Properties will no longer have the option of removing assets from such rabbi trust for other purposes. A change of control event also requires that payments under the Deferred Compensation Plan be made directly by the trustee to participants. In addition, payments will be due to directors who have deferred compensation if they are not re-elected.
Under the 2002 Shareholder Value Plan, if a change of control occurs, each participant in the plan will receive the greater of: (i) the full amount of his or her target bonus for the 2002 and 2003 performance periods or (ii) a percentage of his or her target bonus based on Post Properties performance in benchmark rankings.

As a result of the proxy contest initiated by Mr. Williams, Post Properties will incur substantial additional costs in connection with its solicitation of proxies. Post Properties has retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated (Innisfree) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $200,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. Innisfree will employ approximately 50 people to solicit proxies from Post Properties shareholders. Post Properties has agreed to indemnify Innisfree against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with Innisfrees engagement.
Expenses related to the solicitation of proxies from shareholders, in excess of those normally spent for an annual meeting, are expected to aggregate up to approximately $4 million, of which approximately $500,000 has been spent to date.

Financial Advisor
Post Properties has retained Merrill Lynch & Co. (Merrill Lynch) as its financial advisor in connection with, among other things, advice to Post Properties in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Mr. Williams.
Certain employees of Merrill Lynch may also assist Post Properties in the solicitation of proxies, including by communicating in person, by telephone, or otherwise with a limited number of institutions, brokers, or other persons who are shareholders of Post Properties. Merrill Lynch will not receive any separate fee for such solicitation activities. Except as otherwise provided below, Merrill Lynch does not admit that it or any of its directors, officers, employees or affiliates is a participant, as defined in Schedule 14A promulgated by the SEC, or that such Schedule 14A requires the disclosure of certain information concerning Merrill Lynch.
Information with respect to the employees of Merrill Lynch who may assist in the solicitation of proxies is set forth below. The principal business address of each of the persons listed below is 4 World Financial Center, North Tower, New York, New York 10080.
Name | Principal Occupation | |
Martin Cicco
|
Co-Head and Managing Director, Real Estate Investment Banking | |
John Case | Managing Director, Real Estate Investment Banking |
Pursuant to the terms of Merrill Lynchs engagement, Post Properties has paid, or has agreed to pay, the following fees to Merrill Lynch: (i) a retainer fee of $250,000; (ii) an additional fee of $1,500,000 if Post Properties is successful in its efforts with respect to Mr. Williams proxy solicitation to elect the Williams Nominees to the Board; and (iii) during the term of the engagement letter or within 18 months thereafter, additional fees as may be agreed upon between Post Properties and Merrill Lynch from time to time may be paid with respect to certain alternative transactions, including financing transactions in connection therewith, for which it would be customary for a company similar in type to Post Properties to engage an investment bank as a financial advisor. For a period of six (6) months following the 2003 Annual Meeting, any fees payable to Merrill Lynch pursuant to clause (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence will be credited against those fees owed to Merrill Lynch resulting from an alternative transaction, as described in clause (iii) in the immediately preceding sentence, after which no such credit will be provided. If Post Properties is not successful in its proxy solicitation, all obligations of Post Properties with respect to any alternative transaction, including any financing transaction in connection therewith, will terminate without any further action by Post Properties.
Post Properties also has agreed to reimburse Merrill Lynch for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel and other expenses incurred in performing services in connection with its engagement, including reasonable fees and expenses of Merrill Lynchs counsel; provided that such expenses, including the expenses incurred by legal counsel, do not exceed $50,000 without the prior written consent of Post Properties. Post Properties also has agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch and related parties against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of Merrill Lynchs engagement.
Merrill Lynch and its affiliates have, in the past, provided financial services to Post Properties for which services Merrill Lynch received customary compensation. Merrill Lynch engages in a full range of investment banking, securities trading, market-making and brokerage services for institutional and individual clients. In the normal course of its business, Merrill Lynch may trade securities of Post Properties for its own account and the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. As of April 16, 2003, Merrill Lynch in total holds a long position of 87,941 shares of Post Properties common stock.
