PROXY STATEMENT

2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q:	Why did you send me this proxy statement?

A: We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our board of directors is soliciting proxies to be voted at our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, or the annual meeting. The annual meeting will be held at our Bellevue office, 10500 NE 8^th Street, Suite 1910, Bellevue, Washington 98004 on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time. This proxy statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote by proxy or in person at the annual meeting. You do not need to attend the annual meeting in person in order to vote.

Q:	When was the proxy statement mailed?

A: The proxy statement, the enclosed proxy card and the 2022 Annual Report are being mailed or made available to stockholders beginning on or about March 23, 2023. As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, certain of our stockholders may receive a notice of internet availability of proxy materials, or Notice, which is first being sent to stockholders on or about March 23, 2023, containing information on the availability of our proxy materials on the internet. Stockholders who received the Notice will not receive a paper copy of our proxy materials unless requested in the manner described in the Notice. The Notice explains how to access and review this proxy statement and our 2022 Annual Report and how you may vote by proxy.

Q:	Who is entitled to vote?

A: All stockholders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on March 3, 2023, the record date, are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to cast one vote for each share of common stock they held of record at the close of business on the record date.

Q:	What is the quorum for the meeting?

A: Stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all votes entitled to be cast, as of the close of business on the record date, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. No business may be conducted at the meeting if a quorum is not present. Broker non-votes (defined below) and abstentions will be counted as present in determining whether or not there is a quorum. As of the close of business on the record date, 82,778,962 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

If stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all votes entitled to be cast are not present, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the annual meeting to another date, time or place, not later than 120 days after the original record date of March 3, 2023. Notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if announced at the meeting before an adjournment is taken.

Q:	How many votes do I have without attending the annual meeting?

A: You are entitled to cast one vote for each share of our common stock you owned of record on the record date on each item submitted to you for consideration.

Q:	How do I vote without attending the annual meeting?

A: Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, we urge you to authorize your proxy to vote. If you received a Notice, please follow the voting instructions in the Notice to authorize your proxy. If you received paper copies of the proxy materials, you may authorize your proxy by completing, dating, signing and promptly returning the proxy card in the self-addressed stamped envelope provided. You may also authorize your proxy to vote your shares by the internet or telephone as described in your proxy card. If your shares of common stock are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, please follow the instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee to have your shares of common stock voted. Your proxy (one of the individuals named in your proxy card) will vote your shares per your instructions. Authorizing your proxy by mailing a proxy card, the internet or telephone will not limit your right to attend the annual meeting and vote your shares in person.

Q:	How do I vote my shares that are held by my broker, bank or other nominee?

A: If you have shares held through a broker, bank or other nominee, you should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides to you. Most brokers, banks or other nominees allow you to provide voting instructions by the internet, mail or telephone.

Q:	What am I voting on?

A: You are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

•

a proposal to elect eight directors, each to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualifies;

•

a proposal to adopt a resolution to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain executive compensation as more fully described in this proxy statement;

•

a proposal to determine, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes on executive compensation; and

•

a proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered certified public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year.

In addition, your proxies will have the authority to vote in their discretion as to any other business as may properly come before the annual meeting, including any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Q:	What vote is required to approve the proposals assuming that a quorum is present at the annual meeting?

The following table sets forth the voting requirements with respect to each of the proposals:


Proposal 1	Election of Directors	Each director must be elected by a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting. Accordingly, in an uncontested election, a nominee is elected if he or she receives more “FOR” votes than the total number of “AGAINST” votes. Please see the section entitled “Vote Required – Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors” for a more detailed description of the majority voting standard in our bylaws.

Proposal 2	Non-binding, Advisory Approval of the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers	To be adopted by stockholders, this resolution must receive the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of votes cast on this proposal at the annual meeting.



Proposal 3	Non-binding, Advisory Determination of the Frequency of Future Non-binding, Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation	To be approved by stockholders, a particular frequency alternative must receive the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of votes cast on this proposal at the annual meeting. Because there are three alternatives, it is possible that none of the three choices will receive a majority of the votes cast. Please see the section entitled “Proposal 3 Non-Binding, Advisory Determination of the Frequency of Future Non-Binding, Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation – Vote Required; Effect of Vote” for more information.

Proposal 4	Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm	To be approved by stockholders, this proposal must receive the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of votes cast on this proposal at the annual meeting.

In respect of Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

Q:	Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?

A: Our board of directors does not know of any other matters that may be properly brought before the annual meeting nor does it foresee or have reason to believe that proxy holders will have to vote for substitute or alternate nominees for election to our board of directors. In the event that any other matter should properly come before the annual meeting or any nominee is not available for election, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies with respect to such matters in accordance with their discretion.

Q:	What happens if I submit my proxy without providing voting instructions on all proposals?

A: If you are a stockholder of record and properly submit your proxy via the internet, mail or telephone, your proxy will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with your directions. If you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the Company-designated proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our board of directors on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion regarding any other matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares and your broker, bank or nominee does not receive instructions from you about how your shares are to be voted, one of two things can happen, depending on the type of proposal. Pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, rules, if you do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, it will still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” items, but will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered certified public accounting firm (Proposal 4) is considered to be a discretionary item under the NYSE rules and your broker, bank or other nominee will be able to vote on that item even if it does not receive instructions from you. The election of directors (Proposal 1), the non-binding, advisory approval of executive compensation (Proposal 2) and the non-binding, advisory determination on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes on executive compensation (Proposal 3) are considered non-discretionary items. A broker, bank or nominee may not vote your shares with respect to these non-discretionary items if you have not provided instructions. This is called a “broker non-vote.” We strongly encourage you to submit your proxy with instructions and exercise your right to vote as a stockholder.

Q:	Who has paid for this proxy solicitation?

A: We have paid the entire expense of preparing, printing and mailing this proxy statement, the Notice and any additional materials furnished to stockholders.

Q:	May stockholders ask questions at the annual meeting?

A: Yes. There will be time allotted at the end of the meeting when our representatives will answer appropriate questions from the floor.

Q:	How do I submit a proposal or nominate a candidate for election as a director at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders?

A: Our bylaws currently provide that in order for a stockholder to nominate a candidate for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders or propose business for consideration at such meeting, written notice accompanied by the information and other materials specified in our bylaws generally must be delivered to our corporate secretary not later than the close of business on the 120th day, and not earlier than the 150th day, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, a stockholder nomination or proposal intended to be considered at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, but not included in our proxy statement, generally must be received by our corporate secretary after October 25, 2023 and prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, the close of business, on November 24, 2023. If the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders is scheduled to take place before April 2, 2024 or after June 1, 2024, then notice must be delivered no earlier than the 150th day prior to the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders is first made by the Company. If the number of directors to be elected at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders is increased, and there is no public announcement of such increase before November 14, 2023, then notice of nominees for any new positions created by such increase must be delivered not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, the close of business, on the later of November 14, 2023 and the tenth day after the day on which public announcement of such increase is first made by the Company.

The date by which we must receive stockholder proposals for inclusion in the proxy materials relating to the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, or for presentation at such meeting, is November 24, 2023. Stockholder proposals to be included in our proxy materials relating to the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders must comply with all of the applicable requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC including Rule 14a-8. Additionally, the notice of a nomination must also set forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our board of directors will review any stockholder proposals that are timely submitted and will determine whether such proposals meet the criteria for inclusion in the proxy solicitation materials or for consideration at the 2024 annual meeting.

Proposals or nominations and the other materials required by our bylaws should be mailed to the attention of our corporate secretary at 10500 NE 8^th Street, Suite 1910, Bellevue, WA 98004. A copy of the bylaws may be obtained from our corporate secretary by written request to the same address.

Q:	Can I change my vote after I have voted?

A: Yes. Proxies properly submitted by the internet, mail or telephone do not preclude a stockholder from voting in person at the meeting. A stockholder may revoke a proxy at any time prior to its exercise by filing with our corporate secretary a duly executed revocation of proxy, by properly submitting, either by internet, mail or telephone, a proxy to our corporate secretary bearing a later date or by appearing at the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not by itself constitute revocation of a proxy. If you have shares held through a broker, bank or other nominee and you instructed your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provided to you, you may change your voting instructions by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.

Q:	Can I find additional information on the Company’s website?

A: Yes. Our website is located at http://www.terreno.com. Although the information contained on our website is not part of this proxy statement and is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement, you can view additional information on the website, such as our corporate governance guidelines, our code of business conduct and ethics, charters of our board committees and reports that we file with the SEC.

Q:	How can I access the proxy materials electronically?

A: This proxy statement and our 2022 Annual Report, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, are available at www.proxyvote.com. Instead of receiving copies of our future annual reports, proxy statements, proxy cards and, when applicable, notices of internet availability of proxy materials, by mail, you can consent to receiving such materials electronically via e-mail or the internet. To sign up for electronic delivery, please follow the instructions above, on your proxy card or on the Notice to vote using the internet and, when prompted, indicate that you agree to receive or access proxy materials electronically in future years.

Q:	What is householding?

A: The SEC permits a single set of annual reports, proxy statements and/or notices of internet availability of proxy materials to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. This procedure, referred to as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and printing costs. Only one copy of the notice of internet availability of proxy materials may be sent to certain beneficial stockholders who share a single address, unless any stockholder residing at that address has given contrary instructions.

We will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of the annual report, proxy statement and/or notice of internet availability of proxy materials to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. If any beneficial stockholder residing at such an address desires to receive a separate copy of the notice of internet availability of proxy materials at this time or to receive a separate notice of internet availability of proxy materials in the future, the stockholder should contact Investor Relations by telephone at (415) 655-4580 or by mail at Terreno Realty Corporation — Investor Relations, 10500 NE 8^th Street, Suite 1910, Bellevue, WA 98004.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE STOCKHOLDER MEETING TO BE HELD ON MAY 2, 2023:

This proxy statement and our 2022 Annual Report, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, are available at www.proxyvote.com.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

Our business is managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors establishes our overall corporate policies, reviews our business strategy, reviews the performance of our senior management in executing our business strategy and managing our day-to-day operations and acts as an advisor to our senior management. Our board’s mission is to further the long-term interests of our stockholders. Members of our board of directors are kept informed of our business through discussions with our management, primarily at meetings of our board of directors and its committees, and through reports and analyses presented to them. Significant communications between our directors and senior management occur apart from such meetings. Our board of directors and each of its committees – audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance – also have the authority to retain, at our expense, outside counsel, consultants or other advisors in the performance of their duties. Each of the nominees is currently a director of the Company.

Charters for the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees, our corporate governance guidelines and our code of business conduct and ethics may be viewed on our website at http://www.terreno.com under the “Investors & Media” tab under the subheading “Corporate Profile” and under the heading entitled “Governance Documents.” These documents are also available without charge to stockholders who request them by contacting Terreno Realty Corporation — Investor Relations, 10500 NE 8^th Street, Suite 1910, Bellevue, WA 98004.

Independent Directors

Under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE, at least a majority of our directors and all of the members of the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee must meet the test of “independence” as defined by the NYSE. The NYSE standards provide that to qualify as an “independent” director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, our board of directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us). In addition, our corporate governance guidelines provide that at least annually, our board of directors will evaluate all relationships between the Company and each director in light of relevant facts and circumstances for the purposes of determining whether a material relationship exists that might signal a potential conflict of interest or that might cause the director to cease to meet the applicable independence requirements or interfere with such director’s ability to satisfy his or her duties as a director. Our board of directors has determined that each of Linda Assante, Gary N. Boston, LeRoy E. Carlson, Irene H. Oh, Douglas M. Pasquale and Dennis Polk is an “independent” director under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE and the SEC. David M. Lee, a current board member who is not standing for re-election at the annual meeting, was also determined by our board of directors to be an “independent” director under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE and the SEC. Therefore, following the election of the director nominees at the annual meeting, we believe that 75% of our board members will be independent under those rules.

Executive Sessions

Our non-management directors meet regularly in separate executive sessions without management participation. The executive sessions typically occur after each regularly scheduled meeting of our entire board of directors and at such other times that our non-management directors deem appropriate. The executive sessions are chaired by Mr. Pasquale, our Lead Director.

Nominations for Directors

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider nominees for director suggested by stockholders in written submissions to our corporate secretary. Our bylaws currently provide that in order for a stockholder to nominate a candidate for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders or propose business for consideration at such meeting, written notice containing the information and materials required by our bylaws generally must be delivered to our corporate secretary not later than the close of business on the 120th day, and not earlier than the 150th day, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting.

In evaluating nominees for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee does not differentiate between nominees recommended by stockholders and others. The nominating and corporate governance committee develops and recommends to our board of directors for its consideration and approval such criteria for identifying and recommending prospective nominees for election as directors as the nominating and corporate governance committee deems necessary or advisable in the context of the current make-up of our board of directors. The criteria include such factors as diversity, age, qualities (such as character, professional integrity, independence, judgment and business acumen), skills and experience, industry knowledge, requirements of the NYSE to maintain a minimum number of independent directors, requirements of the SEC to have persons with financial expertise on the Company’s audit committee, the ability of a candidate to devote sufficient time to the affairs of the Company, any actual or potential conflicts of interest, and the extent to which the candidate generally would be a desirable addition to our board of directors and any committees of our board of directors.

We do not have a formal diversity policy. However, the criteria above include a broad range of factors such as relevant experience, independence, commitment, compatibility with our board of directors and its committees and diversity. Additional information about our current seven independent directors is below.

¹	Diverse is defined as an individual that self-identifies as Black, African-American, North African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaskan Native, or who self-identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.

Communications with our Board of Directors

Our board of directors has implemented a process by which our stockholders or any interested parties may communicate with our board of directors as a whole or with individual members of our board of directors. Communications directed at our board of directors as a whole should be addressed to Terreno Realty Corporation, 10500 NE 8^th Street, Suite 1910, Bellevue, WA 98004, Attn: Corporate Secretary, and communications directed at individual directors, including our Lead Director, should be addressed to the attention of the individual director at the same address. Such communications may be made on an anonymous or confidential basis. Our board of directors has instructed our Corporate Secretary to promptly forward all such communications to the specified addressees thereof.

Board Leadership Structure

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that our board of directors will periodically appoint a chairman of the board, who may either be independent or a management director, including our chief executive officer. The positions of chairman and chief executive officer are currently occupied by one individual, Mr. Baird. Our board of directors believes that this leadership structure serves us well, as Mr. Baird’s deep industrial real estate expertise across markets and cycles, as well as extensive public REIT operating experience, including as our co-founder, uniquely qualify him to serve as both chairman and chief executive officer. Combining the chairman and chief executive officer roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making and aligns corporate strategy with the Company’s day-to-day operations. Combining the roles also promotes unified leadership and direction for our board of directors and management.

In his combined role, Mr. Baird sets the agenda for board meetings in consultation with our Lead Director and presides over all meetings of the full board. Since the chairman and chief executive officer positions are currently occupied by Mr. Baird, our board of directors appointed Mr. Pasquale, an independent director, as our Lead Director to ensure strong independent oversight. As Lead Director, Mr. Pasquale chairs the executive sessions of the non-employee directors, facilitates communications and resolves conflicts, if any, between our non-employee directors, other directors and our management and consults with and provides counsel to our chief executive officer as needed or requested. In performing these duties, our Lead Director consults with the chairpersons of the appropriate committees of our board of directors and solicits their participation in order to avoid diluting the authority or responsibility of the board committees and their chairpersons.

Risk Oversight

Our board of directors provides oversight of the Company’s risk exposure by receiving periodic reports from senior management regarding matters relating to financial, operational, legal, cybersecurity and strategic risks and mitigation strategies for such risks. In addition, as reflected in the audit committee charter, our board of directors has delegated to the audit committee responsibility to discuss and evaluate our policies and guidelines with respect to risk assessment and risk management. During these discussions, the audit committee may discuss or consider our major risk exposures, including financial, operational, privacy, security, cybersecurity, competition, legal, regulatory, hedging and accounting risk exposure, and the steps that our management has taken to monitor and control such exposures.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. Day-to-day responsibility for administering and interpreting our code of business conduct and ethics has been delegated by our board of directors to our president. Our code of business conduct and ethics contains compliance procedures, allows for the anonymous reporting of a suspected violation of our code of business conduct and ethics and specifically forbids retaliation against any officer or employee who reports suspected misconduct in good faith. The provisions of our code of business conduct and ethics may only be amended, or waived for the benefit of our directors and executive officers, by our board of directors or, if

permitted, a committee of our board of directors. Such waivers or amendments must be promptly disclosed to our stockholders in accordance with applicable laws and rules and regulations of the NYSE.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE

Environmental Stewardship

We believe we contribute positively to the environment by owning and operating facilities in infill locations close to population centers thereby minimizing vehicle miles traveled and the concomitant use of fuel and production of airborne particulate matter pollution. We do not develop buildings in greenfield locations. Sustainability for us means operating, redeveloping and repurposing existing facilities in infill locations. During the redevelopment of our facilities, we recycle, where possible, the building materials from existing buildings seeking to reduce construction waste. We focus on modern design solutions to reduce the impact on the environment. For example, when re-leasing and redeveloping our facilities, we reduce our carbon footprint by upgrading existing facilities with energy efficient lighting and heating, and water saving solutions.

Many of our properties are located in historical manufacturing sites and we remove hazardous materials and clean up those sites that have environmental contaminants. This improves the health conditions for on-site workers and provides a positive impact on the surrounding community.

Recent Environmental Highlights:

•

Entered into agreements to host rooftop solar projects in our Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Northern New Jersey/New York markets. We expect the projects to become operational through 2024, helping us achieve our goal of producing rooftop solar energy on at least 5% of the total rooftop area of our portfolio by year-end 2024;

•

Increased our energy efficient lighting program with more than 74% of our portfolio containing energy efficient lighting as of December 31, 2022 and are committed to upgrading the lighting across the remainder of the portfolio as we gain access to units during vacancy periods;

•

Increased our GRESB Real Estate Assessment score from 35 to 56 during 2022;

•

Increased property utility tracking from 35% to 63% of our portfolio during 2022; and

•

Increased the number of white or reflective surface roofs to approximately 80% of the total rooftop area of our portfolio as of December 31, 2022.

Recent Green Building Certifications Update:

•

Received LEED Certification for 624,000 square feet of newly-developed buildings built on former landfill and industrial land sites; and

•

Commenced LEED certification on an additional 843,000 square feet of newly-developed buildings built on former landfill and industrial land sites.

Social Responsibility

We recognize that our success is linked to the talent and expertise of our people. We invest in our employees and are committed to growing individual skills and leadership qualities across our business. We have a dedicated ESG Committee to provide oversight to our ESG strategy with a focus on not only environmental stewardship, but also employee engagement. Our ESG Committee is led by our executive vice presidents and comprises employees at all levels of the Company. Our employees are encouraged to make healthy lifestyle decisions that can ultimately benefit the Company by reducing insurance claims and boosting productivity and we provide a monthly wellness reimbursement allowance. We encourage our employees to engage in volunteer work and provide paid time off to participate in charitable activities. We support our employees’ efforts to give back to their communities and match a portion of employee donations to qualifying nonprofit organizations.

We value diversity and have increased our board and employee diversity in terms of gender, underrepresented community identification and experience. As an equal opportunity employer, we promote a

consistent message of diversity and inclusion and reward our employees based on merit and their contributions. Of our current seven independent directors, two self-identify as women and three self-identify as members of an underrepresented community.

Our properties are often located in traditionally under-served urban infill locations, and we transform these locations into highly functional industrial properties that facilitate job creation in the surrounding communities. Since our inception in 2010, we have invested more than $175 million in capital improvements in our portfolio that improve the operating efficiency of our portfolio as well as improve employee health and productivity.

Respect for human rights is a fundamental value of Terreno Realty Corporation. We endeavor to comply with all applicable human rights and labor rights laws. We expect our vendors and suppliers to adhere to these laws and encourage them to adopt similar policies within their own businesses.

Recent Social Responsibility Highlights:

•

Employee wellness reimbursement benefit;

•

100% of full-time employees receive restricted stock;

•

Continued partnership with Worklink to provide work and meaningful community inclusion for people with disabilities;

•

Hosted three volunteer days and donated to each local food bank where we own property; and

•

Became a Founding Patron of Pension Real Estate Association (“PREA”) Foundation. The PREA Foundation works to advance diversity and inclusion in the institutional real estate industry. We will sponsor internships associated with the PREA Foundation in 2024 and 2025.

Governance

We are committed to strong corporate governance and transparency for our stockholders. Our independent directors stand for election every year, and each of the members of our board of directors standing for re-election at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders was elected by at least 74% of the votes cast at such annual meeting. We have opted out of anti-takeover provisions and stockholder rights plans and we will not opt back in to those provisions without stockholder approval. Our directors and employees comply with a comprehensive code of business conduct and ethics that encourages honesty, accountability and mutual respect and offers communication channels for handling ethical issues.

Our long-term incentive compensation is fully aligned with our stockholders interests. Performance shares are tied to three-year total stockholder return exceeding the MSCI U.S. REIT Index and FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index. We do not have an annual cash bonus plan for our chief executive officer or president and their long-term incentive compensation is paid solely in stock.

We believe that our executives and directors should own a meaningful equity interest in the Company to more closely align the interests of our executive officers and our stockholders. We require minimum stock ownership by our chief executive officer, president, executive officers and non-employee directors and in fact, our employees and directors own well in excess of $100 million of our common stock. Each of our chief executive officer, president, other executive officers and non-employee directors are in compliance with their respective minimum stock ownership requirement. Further, our code of business conduct and ethics prohibits new investment and other trading in the member companies of the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index.

Recent Governance Highlights:

•

Ranked #1 among all REITs for Corporate Governance in the annual Green Street report on Executive Compensation and Corporate Governance; and

•

Expanded our board of directors diversity with the appointment of two new board members during 2022.

RECOMMENDATION – Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” each named nominee.

Vote Required – Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors

Our bylaws provide that the vote standard for election of directors is a “majority vote of the votes cast” standard in uncontested elections of directors. This means that in an uncontested election, a nominee is elected as a director if he or she receives more “for” votes than the total number of “against” votes. In an election where the number of nominees is greater than the number of directors to be elected at the meeting, the nominees will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election of directors.

Under our corporate governance guidelines, any director who fails to be elected by a majority vote is required to tender his or her resignation to our board of directors, subject to acceptance. The nominating and corporate governance committee will make a recommendation to our board of directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation or whether other action should be taken. Our board of directors will then act on the nominating and corporate governance committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of election results. If the resignation is not accepted, the director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualifies. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in our board of director’s decision.

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.”

RECOMMENDATION – Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR adoption of this resolution.

Vote Required; Effect of Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal will be required for adoption of this resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

The say-on-pay resolution is advisory, and therefore will not have any binding legal effect on the Company, our board of directors or the compensation committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Company, our board of directors or the compensation committee or to create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of our board of directors. Furthermore, because this non-binding, advisory resolution primarily relates to compensation of our named executive officers that has already been paid or contractually committed, there is generally no opportunity for us to revisit those decisions.

Nevertheless, the compensation committee values the opinions of our stockholders and intends to take the results of the vote on this proposal into account in its future decisions regarding the compensation of our named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 3 – NON-BINDING, ADVISORY DETERMINATION OF THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, our board of directors is also submitting for stockholder consideration a proposal to determine, on a non-binding, advisory basis, how frequently the Company will submit say-on-pay proposals to our stockholders in the future. Stockholders will be able to specify one of three alternative frequencies for the proposal on the proxy card: every year, every two years or every three years, or stockholders may mark “abstain.” In each of 2011 and 2017, our stockholders voted, on a non-binding basis, for the submission of say-on-pay proposals to our stockholders every year.

Our board of directors believes that, of the three alternative frequencies, continuing to submit a non-binding, advisory say-on-pay resolution to stockholders every year is preferable. Annual votes provide the Company with clearer feedback regarding the compensation of our named executive officers. The primary focus of the disclosure of the compensation of our named executive officers required to be included in the Company’s proxy statements is compensation granted in or for the prior fiscal year. Additionally, the compensation committee re-evaluates the compensation of our named executive officers each year. An annual say-on-pay resolution will continue to match the annual focus of this proxy statement disclosure and provide the Company with the clearest and most timely feedback of the three options. This feedback may then be considered by the compensation committee in its next annual decision-making process. Additionally, the administrative process of continuing to submit a non-binding, advisory say-on-pay resolution to stockholders on an annual basis is not expected to impose any substantial additional costs on the Company.

Please mark on the proxy card your preferred frequency by choosing the option of every year, two years or three years or mark “abstain.”

RECOMMENDATION – Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote to hold a say-on-pay vote every year. Unless otherwise instructed, proxies solicited by our board of directors will be voted in favor of including a say-on-pay vote every year.

Vote Required; Effect of Vote

In order for any of the three alternative frequencies to be approved, it must receive a majority of the votes cast on this proposal. Because there are four choices (one year, two years, three years or abstain), it is possible that none of the three frequency choices will receive a majority of the votes cast. However, stockholders will still be able to communicate their preference with respect to the frequency of say-on-pay proposals by choosing from among these three frequency alternatives. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

This proposal is a non-binding, advisory determination, and therefore will not have any binding legal effect on the Company or our board of directors and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Company or our board of directors or to create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of our board of directors. However, our board of directors does intend to take the results of the vote on this proposal into account in its decision regarding the frequency with which the Company submits say-on-pay proposals in the future.

PROPOSAL 4 – RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee has selected and appointed the firm of Ernst & Young LLP to act as our independent registered certified public accounting firm for 2023. Ratification of the appointment of our independent registered certified public accounting firm requires a majority of the votes cast on this proposal. Any votes not cast, whether by abstention, broker non-vote, or otherwise, will have no impact on the vote.

RECOMMENDATION: Our board of directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP.

Although stockholder ratification of the appointment of our independent registered certified public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered certified public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders. If our stockholders do not ratify the audit committee’s selection, the audit committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other factors it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of independent registered certified public accounting firm.

In choosing our independent registered certified public accounting firm, the audit committee conducts a comprehensive review of the qualifications of those individuals who will lead and serve on the engagement team, the quality control procedures the firm has established and any material issue raised by the most recent quality control review of the firm. The review also includes matters required to be considered under the SEC rules on auditor independence, including the nature and extent of non-audit services to ensure that they will not impair the independence of any such firm.

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting. These representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee approved all audit and non-audit services provided to us by our principal accountant during the 2022 and 2021 fiscal years.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following report of the audit committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any of our other filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In accordance with its written charter adopted by the board of directors, the audit committee’s role is to assist the board of directors in the oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function. The audit committee currently consists of seven members, each of whom is “independent” as that term is defined by the governance standards of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process including its system of internal controls, and for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. It is the audit committee’s responsibility to monitor and review these processes. It is not the audit committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures. The audit committee does not consist of the Company’s employees and it may not be, and may not represent itself to be or to serve as, accountants or accountants by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing. Therefore, the audit committee has relied on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and on the representations of the Company’s independent auditors included in their report on our financial statements. The audit committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the audit committee’s considerations and discussions with management and with our independent auditors do not assure that our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that the Company’s independent auditors are in fact “independent.”

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 with management, including a discussion of the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. The audit committee reviewed the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 with our independent auditors and discussed with them all of the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with our independent auditors their independence from our management and from us. Upon its review, the audit committee has satisfied itself as to our independent auditors’ independence.

Based on the review and discussions with management and the independent auditors, and subject to the limitations on its role and responsibilities described above, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The undersigned members of the audit committee have submitted this report to the Company.

Risk Considerations in our Compensation Programs

The compensation committee has reviewed our compensation structures and policies as they pertain to risk and has determined that our compensation programs do not create or encourage the taking of risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Each of Messrs. Polk, Carlson and Lee and Ms. Assante served as a member our of compensation committee for the full year ended December 31, 2022 and each of Messrs. Boston and Pasquale and Ms. Parcella served a member of our compensation for part of the year ended December 31, 2022. No member of the compensation committee during 2022 was an officer, employee or former officer of ours or any of our subsidiaries or had any relationship that would be considered a compensation committee interlock and would require disclosure in this proxy statement pursuant to SEC regulations. None of our executive officers served as a member of a compensation committee or a director of another entity under the circumstances requiring disclosure in this proxy statement pursuant to SEC regulations.

Policy Concerning Hedging and Pledging Transactions

Our insider trading policy prohibits our officers, directors and employees from engaging in transactions of a speculative nature involving our securities. The policy prohibits short sales and other hedging transactions and also generally prohibits transactions involving derivative securities, such as options, warrants, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or similar rights whose value is derived from the value of our equity securities. The policy prohibits all of our directors and officers from margining our securities, holding our securities in a margin account or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan unless such pledge is pre-approved by our audit committee. There have been no such approvals of any pledges to date. Further, our code of business conduct and ethics prohibits new investment and other trading in the member companies of the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index.

Clawback Policy

Certain of our executive officers are required to repay certain amounts if the company restates its financial statements as a result of financial reporting misconduct. The amounts to be repaid consist of (1) any bonus or

other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received from the company during a twelve month period following the filing of the financial document in question; and (2) any profits realized from the sale of securities of the Company during that period.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

The following discussion is intended to supplement the more detailed information concerning executive compensation that appears in the tables and the accompanying narrative that follows. It is also intended to provide both a review of our compensation policies and programs for 2022 and describe our compensation policies and programs with respect to our executive officers. Our goal is to provide a better understanding of our compensation practices and the decisions made concerning the compensation payable to our executive officers, consisting of our chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Baird, our president, Mr. Coke, and our executive vice presidents, Messrs. Cannon and Meyer, in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. These officers are referred to herein as the “named executive officers.” The discussion and analysis also covers compensation and benefits for 2022 for Mr. Burke, who resigned as our executive vice president during 2022. See “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Resignation of Mr. Burke and 2022 Compensation” for more information regarding Mr. Burke’s resignation.

The compensation committee of our board of directors designs and administers our executive compensation programs. All principal elements of compensation paid to our executive officers are subject to approval by the compensation committee. The Compensation Committee Report appears on page 23 of this proxy statement.

Objectives

The principal objectives of our executive compensation programs are to:

•

align the interest of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder value and rewarding executives when stockholder value increases;

•

motivate our executives to manage our business to meet our near, medium, and long-term objectives and reward them for meeting these objectives and for exceptional performance;

•

assist in attracting and retaining talented and well-qualified executives;

•

be competitive with other industrial real estate investment trusts (specifically the members of the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index which are: Americold Realty Trust, EastGroup Properties, Inc., First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., INDUS Realty Trust, Inc., Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., LXP Industrial Trust, Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc., Prologis, Inc., Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc., and STAG Industrial, Inc.,); and

•

encourage and provide the opportunity for our executives to obtain meaningful ownership levels of our stock.

Management’s and Advisor’s Role in Compensation Decisions

The compensation committee evaluates the performance of our chairman and chief executive officer, president and our executive officers and determines their compensation based on this evaluation. Messrs. Baird and Coke make recommendations to the compensation committee for equity awards and other compensation for other employees throughout the Company. The compensation committee can accept or reject these recommendations at its discretion. Under its charter, the compensation committee has the authority to engage independent compensation consultants or other advisors. To date, we have not retained an independent compensation consultant.

Principal Elements of Compensation and Total Direct Compensation

We have designed our executive compensation programs to include three principal elements—base salary, annual cash incentive bonus (for our executive vice presidents) and long-term equity incentives, in the form of

common stock awards, which are integrated into our compensation programs and are intended to achieve the objectives set forth above. We believe that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program that is designed to attract and retain talented and experienced executives. We believe that attractive base salaries can also motivate and reward executives. We believe that annual cash incentive bonus payments can incent our executives to attain near-term and medium term business objectives. However, while important, such near-term business objectives, even if achieved, may not produce superior long-term stockholder value. Accordingly, we do not have an annual cash incentive bonus plan for Messrs. Baird or Coke, which allows them to construct and evaluate our short-term objectives while more effectively thinking solely of long-term stockholder value creation. Our executive vice presidents are eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus based upon their individual performances, as further described below. We believe that long-term equity incentives align the interests of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder value and rewarding executives when stockholder value increases.

In 2022, the compensation committee used the following peer companies, which are companies engaged in the industrial real estate industry or are of comparable size and scope, to benchmark executive compensation, which we refer to herein as our peer companies:

Primary Industrial Peers:

Duke Realty Corporation

EastGroup Properties, Inc.

First Industrial Trust, Inc.

LXP Industrial Trust

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc.

STAG Industrial, Inc.

Size Based Peers:

Agree Realty Corporation

Cousins Properties Incorporated

Douglas Emmett, Inc.

Independence Realty Trust, Inc.

Kite Realty Group Trust

Omega Healthcare Investors Inc.

SL Green Realty Corp.

Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.

Rayonier Inc.

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc.

Base Salaries. In order to attract and retain the most talented and experienced executives in our industry, we set the base salaries of executive officers at levels that are competitive with our peer companies that compete with us for executive talent. Base salaries are established in part based on the individual experience, skills and expected contributions during the coming year and the executive’s performance during the prior year.

Increases in base salary are left to the discretion of the compensation committee. Effective February 16, 2022, the compensation committee increased the base salaries of each of Messrs. Cannon and Meyer from $340,000 to $350,000 and effective August 16, 2022 from $350,000 to $400,000 to align their base salaries more closely with our peer companies and market. During 2022, no changes were made to Messrs. Baird and Coke’s base salaries.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus. In order to more fully align compensation with long term stockholder value creation as stated above, and in order to increase the overall equity component in their pay mix, we do not have, nor are we currently planning to adopt, an annual cash incentive bonus plan for Messrs. Baird or Coke, although

we reserve our right to do so in the future. Our executive vice presidents, Messrs. Cannon and Meyer, received an annual cash incentive bonus primarily based upon the achievement of individual performance objectives, which for 2022 included capital deployment, ESG initiatives, operational targets and raising debt and equity capital (all in accordance with the Company’s annual business plan) and long-term strategic goals.

Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Awards. We believe that providing our executives with equity incentives will create longer-term alignment with stockholders and further meet the Company’s objectives of building equity ownership and meaningful value in the Company for the Company’s executives. As such, our executives are eligible to receive grants of time-vesting restricted stock under our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. On August 2, 2022, the compensation committee granted 28,944 shares of restricted common stock with a grant date fair value, computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, of $1,800,027 to each of Messrs. Baird and Coke and 12,864 shares of restricted common stock with a grant date fair value, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, of $800,012 to each of Messrs. Cannon and Meyer in recognition of cumulative accomplishments, progress on our long-term strategic plan adopted in 2020 and in order to provide competitive compensation with our peer companies, retain its key executives and align their long-term interests with those of our stockholders. These shares of restricted stock vest with respect to 100% of the shares on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the executive’s continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries through the vesting date. Realized value for such awards increases or decreases based on the increase or decrease in the value of our common stock over the vesting period, further aligning the incentive with stockholder value creation.

Long-Term Incentive Plan. In order to directly align the long-term incentive compensation of our executives with the achievement of enhanced value for our stockholders and to provide executives with the potential to earn equity awards subject to the long-term performance of our common stock, the compensation committee administers the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Long-Term Incentive Plan”). Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, our executives performance share target award for target awards are expressed as a number of shares of common stock and settled in shares of common stock. Participants receive a target award with respect to each index specified below, and each target award consists of the same number of shares of our common stock. Generally, performance measurement periods under the Long-Term Incentive Plan run for three calendar years and begin on January 1 of each year. These performance-based awards are variable incentive, at-risk awards. The performance goals to achieve any payout are high-reach and formulaic rather than qualitative. No dividends are paid to our executives related to these awards during the performance measurement periods.

The amount earned under our Long-Term Incentive Plan for any performance measurement period is determined by our success in attaining or exceeding performance goals linked to each of the following two metrics during the performance measurement period:

•

50% of the determination will be based on our total stockholder return for the performance measurement period, measured at the end of the period compared to the total stockholder return for the same period of the MSCI U.S. REIT Index (RMS); and

•

The two main performance goals were established to focus our named executive officers on generating superior total stockholder return over time. Our compensation committee believes that achievement of the “target” level of performance of the two main performance goals, i.e., exceeding both applicable indices will require significant effort and substantial progress toward the goals of our strategic plan. If one of the performance goals is achieved at target level, each participating executive will receive an award equal to 50% of their target award attributable to such performance goal for the performance period, with no payout made with respect to the performance goal that did not achieve target level for the performance period. If we achieve the target level for both performance goals, each participating executive will receive an award equal to 100% of their total target award for

the performance period and if we do not achieve target level for both performance goals, no awards will be earned for the performance period. To the extent that our performance exceeds either performance goal by at least 100 basis points per year, each participating executive will receive an award equal to 150% of their target award and, if our performance exceeds both performance goals by at least 100 basis points per year, each participating executive will receive an award equal to 300% of their total target award. If our total stockholder return for the performance measurement period exceeds the compound, annualized percentage return of one of the applicable indices for such period but the excess is less than 100 basis points per annum, the size of awards earned by participants with respect to such index will be determined by linear interpolation. By way of illustration only, if our total stockholder return is 50 basis points per annum in excess of the applicable index, participants will receive an award equal to 150% of the target award attributable to such index. We believe achieving this maximum payout is difficult. In the event that our total stockholder return is negative for any performance period, even if we have outperformed the applicable indices, any incentive compensation earned for that performance period will be reduced by 50%, further aligning pay with stockholder returns.

Based on the methodology above, the total stockholder return of Terreno Realty Corporation, the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index and MSCI U.S. REIT Index (RMS) are listed below. Our compensation committee determined, based on the methodology described above, the following awards were earned for the performance measurement periods specified below:

(1)	Such awards were paid in shares of common stock using the 10-day weighted average stock price of Terreno Realty Corporation prior to issuance.

(2)	Messrs. Cannon and Meyer became eligible to receive equity grants under our Long-Term Incentive Plan commencing with the three-year measurement period of January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016.

Our compensation committee granted the following aggregate target and maximum awards expressed as a number of shares under the Long-Term Incentive Plan in 2021, 2022 and 2023 for the following performance periods. The target number of shares was determined using a target dollar value and converting such dollar value to shares using the 10-day weighted average stock price of Terreno Realty Corporation. The aggregate targets are as follows:


	January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2023 Performance Measurement Period						January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2024 Performance Measurement Period						January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2025 Performance Measurement Period

At-Risk Compensation. For 2022, approximately 82% of Messrs. Baird and Coke’s direct compensation was at-risk equity, of which approximately 41% was variable incentive equity based solely on three-year total stockholder return outperformance under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and approximately 41% was variable incentive equity based on changes in stock price during the restricted stock vesting period.

Resignation of Mr. Burke and 2022 Compensation

On April 15, 2022, Mr. Burke resigned as our executive vice president. As a result of Mr. Burke’s resignation, Mr. Burke was not entitled to receive any cash severance payments, acceleration of vesting or other severance benefits, and he forfeited all of his unvested long-term equity awards and the opportunity to earn a short-term cash incentive award related to 2022. Mr. Burke’s annual base salary during 2022 was $350,000 and prior to Mr. Burke’s resignation, the compensation committee established a target value of $800,000 for his long-term equity incentive compensation awards, which was structured in the same manner as the awards received by our named executive officers and as described above. Mr. Burke forfeited these awards upon his resignation. Mr. Burke’s base salary and target long-term equity incentive compensation for 2022 were determined based on the same considerations as those for the same type of compensation received by our named executive officers for 2022.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Benefits. We maintain a 401(k) retirement plan in which all employees are eligible to participate on the same terms. Under the 401(k) retirement plan, we make contributions of up to 3% of the participant’s annual compensation. Our contributions are 100% vested when made and are subject to applicable IRS limits and regulations.

Deferred Compensation Plan. On November 6, 2019, we adopted the Terreno Realty Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for the benefit of our officers, non-employee directors and other key employees in which the participant may elect to defer cash compensation and/or equity awards granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The amounts deferred are not included in the executive’s current taxable income and, therefore, are not currently deductible by us. See “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” for more information.

Severance Agreements. We have severance agreements with each of Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer and had a severance agreement with Mr. Burke prior to his resignation. A summary of these severance agreements appears in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Payments Upon Termination of Employment and Change of Control.” These agreements provide for various payments and benefits to the executives if their employment with us is terminated in certain circumstances. The circumstances in which payments may be made and the potential amounts of those payments are described in more detail below. These agreements are intended to ensure the ongoing commitment and continued attention and dedication of these executive officers to their assigned duties and to the best interest of our stockholders in the event of a change in control or other potential termination events.

Other Compensation Practices and Policies

Equity Award Grant Practices. The compensation committee generally makes annual equity awards to our named executive officers under the Long-Term Incentive Plan during the third quarter of each year and to our non-executive employees under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan during the first quarter of each year. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, awards were made to our non-executive employees at the compensation committee’s regularly scheduled meetings in February. The grant date of those awards is the date of the meeting, which date is determined without regard to current or anticipated stock price levels or the release of material non-public information and is set during the prior calendar year.

The compensation committee may also make equity grants during the course of the year, primarily for new hires, promotions to retain valued employees, to award exceptional performance or otherwise. Generally, these grants are subject to performance or time vesting, and are issued on the date of compensation committee approval or upon a date certain following the grant approval date, such as the date on which a new hire commences his or her employment with the Company.

Section 162(m). The SEC requires that we comment on our policy with respect to Section 162(m) of the Code, which limits the deductibility on our tax return of compensation over $1 million to the chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated executive officers. Although certain qualifying “performance-based compensation” was previously exempt from this deduction limit, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made certain changes to Section 162(m) of the Code. Pursuant to such changes, “performance-based compensation” is no longer exempt under Section 162(m) of the Code effective for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018, subject to a transition rule for written binding contracts which were in effect on November 2, 2017 and which were not modified in any material respect on or after such date.

We believe that, because we intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code and pay distributions sufficient to minimize federal income taxes, the payment of compensation that does not satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) will generally not affect our net income. To the extent that compensation does not qualify for a deduction under Section 162(m), a larger portion of stockholder distributions may be subject to federal income taxation as dividend income rather than return of capital. We do not believe that Section 162(m) will materially affect the taxability of stockholder distributions, although no assurance can be given in this regard due to the variety of factors that affect the tax position of each stockholder. For these reasons, the compensation committee’s compensation policy and practices are not directly guided by considerations relating to Section 162(m).

Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation. In determining executive compensation for 2022, the compensation committee also considered the results of the non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers at our 2022 and 2021 annual meetings of stockholders. Approximately 94% and 93%, respectively, of the shares voted on the matter at both our 2022 and 2021 annual meetings of stockholders, were cast in support of our compensation decisions and policies. The compensation committee considered stockholder support reflected by these results and determined to use the same approach and philosophy in 2022 as we used in 2021 in determining executive compensation.

Pay Ratio Disclosure Rule. Pursuant to a mandate of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the SEC adopted a rule requiring annual disclosure of the ratio of the median employee’s annual total compensation to the total annual compensation of the principal executive officer (“PEO”). Our PEOs for purposes of determining such ratio is Mr. Baird, our chief executive officer, and Mr. Coke, our president. The purpose of the required disclosure is to provide a measure of the equitability of pay within the organization. As set forth in the table below, our 2022 PEO to median employee pay ratio was 21.4 to 1.


	Compensation of Each of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President		Compensation of Median Employee
Base Salary	$	800,000	$	124,200
Bonus		—		31,250
Stock awards		3,620,541		50,000
All other compensation		9,150		2,013

Total	$	4,429,691	$	207,463

We identified the median employee as of December 31, 2022, using the annual base salary and bonus paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 plus any stock awards granted in 2022 for all individuals who were employed by us on December 31, 2022. Total compensation was annualized for those employees that were not employed for the full year of 2022.

What We Do and Do Not Do. In summary, we do not: grant stock options or partnership units as compensation, allow pledging or hedging of our stock by employees or directors, allow new investment in member companies of the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index, allow excise tax gross ups or pay annual cash bonuses to Messrs. Baird or Coke. We do: align pay with performance heavily weighted to be at-risk, high degree of difficulty performance-based equity, require significant stock ownership and have double-trigger change of control provisions.

STOCK VESTED TABLE

The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock that vested and the aggregate dollar value realized as a result of the vesting of restricted stock during fiscal year 2022 with respect to our named executive officers. During fiscal year 2022, no shares of common stock vested with respect to Mr. Burke.

(1)	The value realized upon vesting was determined by multiplying the number of shares that vested by the price per share of our common stock at the time of vesting.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, we allow a select group of management and our non-employee directors to defer receiving certain of their cash and equity-based compensation. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan who are employees may defer all or a portion of their annual base salaries and their annual cash bonuses. Participants who are non-employee directors may defer all or a portion of their cash directors’ fees. Employee participants may defer all or a portion of any performance share awards that they receive under our

Long-Term Incentive Plan and 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to certain restrictions. In addition, non-employee director participants may defer all or a portion of any unrestricted stock awards that they receive under our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. Dividends paid, if any, on deferred equity awards will also be deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Any amounts deferred are not included in the executive’s current taxable income and, therefore, are not currently deductible by us. In connection with this plan, the Company has established a “rabbi trust” overseen by an independent trustee (the “Rabbi Trust”) wherein the trustee is directed to make investments of the deferred cash amounts which track as closely as possible to those selected by each participant in order to generally match its liabilities to the participants under the deferred compensation plan with equivalent assets and thereby limit market risk.

Generally, distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be paid in the form of payment designated by the participant upon separation from service for any reason including death and retirement (or six months thereafter, in the case of any participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A). Distributions may be paid either (i) as a lump sum payment or (ii) in annual installments over a five year or ten year period. Participants will designate their form of payment at the time of their initial deferral election and may not modify the form of payment designated in such election.

The following table shows deferrals made by our named executive officers and non-employee directors to the Deferred Compensation Plan during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable

pay-for-performance

philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incenting our NEOs to increase the per share value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:

•

Relative Total Stockholder Return or “TSR” as compared to the MSCI U.S. REIT Index and FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index

•

Cash-basis same store net operating income

•

Funds From Operations per share

•

Capital Deployment and Disposition Volume

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable

pay-for-performance

philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation

S-K)

for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation

S-K,

the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Total Stockholder Return

The amount of compensation actually paid to Messrs. Baird and Coke and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group is aligned with the Company’s Total Stockholder Return over the three years presented in the table. The alignment of compensation actually paid with the Company’s TSR over the period presented is because a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to Messrs. Baird and Coke and to the other NEOs is comprised of equity awards. As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” approximately 81% of Messrs. Baird and Coke’s direct compensation was

at-risk

equity, of which approximately 39% was variable incentive equity based solely on three-year total stockholder return outperformance under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and approximately 42% was variable incentive equity based on changes in stock price during the restricted stock vesting period.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income

As demonstrated by the preceding table, the amount of compensation actually paid to Messrs. Baird and Coke and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group is generally aligned with the Company’s net income over the three years presented in the table. While the Company does not use net income as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program, the measure of net income is a contributor to the Company’s total stockholder return.

Cumulative Total Stockholder Return of the Company and Cumulative Total Stockholder Return of the MSCI U.S. REIT Index and the FTSE NAREIT Industrial Index

As demonstrated by the following table, the Company’s total stockholder return over the three year period presented was 12.8%, while the cumulative total stockholder return of the MSCI U.S. REIT Index was 1.3% and

the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index was 31.4%. The Company’s three-year total stockholder return underperformed the MSCI U.S. REIT index but outperformed the FTSE Nareit Equity Industrial Index. For more information regarding the Company’s performance and the companies that the Compensation Committee considers when determining compensation, refer to “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

Severance agreements that we have entered into with our named executive officers require us to make certain payments and provide certain benefits to them in the event of a termination of their employment under certain circumstances, including following a change of control of our company. This section provides a discussion of those payments and benefits, along with certain other terms of those agreements.

Severance Agreements. We entered into severance agreements with Messrs. Baird and Coke. Under the severance agreements, in the event that we terminate the executive’s employment without “cause” or the executive resigns for “good reason” (as each term is defined in their respective severance agreement), the executive will be entitled to receive, subject to the executive’s execution of a general release of claims, a cash severance payment that is equal to the sum of (i) the executive’s then-current annual base salary and (ii) the amount of the target value for each of his outstanding awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan with a performance measurement period that has not ended as of the executive’s date of termination. If such termination occurs within 12 months following a “change in control” (as defined in their respective severance agreement) of the Company, the cash severance payment that the executive will be entitled to receive is equal to two times the sum of (i) the executive’s then-current annual base salary and (ii) the greater of the target value or the calculated value as of the date upon which a change in control occurred for each of his outstanding awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan with a performance measurement period that had not ended as of the change in control, with the change in control date being deemed the last day of the performance measurement period. In the case of such a change in control, the calculated value of each such outstanding award under the Long-Term Incentive Plan will be determined, if applicable, using a closing stock price (as defined under the Long-Term Incentive Plan) that is equal to the fair market value, as determined by the compensation committee, of the total consideration paid or payable in the transaction resulting in the change in control for one share of our common stock. In addition, in the event that we terminate the executive’s employment without cause or the executive resigns for good reason, the executive will be eligible to continue to participate, subject to his copayment of premium amounts at the active employees’ rate, in the Company’s group health, dental and vision programs for a period of 18 months following termination.

Under the terms of the severance agreements with Messrs. Baird and Coke, in the event either the executive’s employment is terminated on account of his death or disability, he is entitled to receive (or his estate in the case of death) a cash payment equal to the sum of the target value of each of his outstanding awards under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan with a performance measurement period that has not ended as of the executive’s date of termination, subject to the executive’s execution of a general release of claims in the case of a termination due to disability.

We also have severance agreements with each of Messrs. Cannon and Meyer that provides, and had a severance agreement with Mr. Burke that provided, that, in the event that we terminate the executive’s employment without “cause” or the executive resigns for “good reason” (as each term is defined in their respective severance agreement), the executive will be entitled to receive, subject to the executive’s execution of a general release of claims, a cash severance payment that is equal to the sum of (i) the executive’s then-current annual base salary and (ii) the amount of the target value for each of his outstanding awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan with a performance measurement period that has not ended as of the executive’s date of termination. If such termination occurs within 12 months following a “change in control” (as defined in their respective severance agreement) of the Company, the cash severance payment that the executive will be entitled to receive is equal to the sum of (i) the executive’s then-current annual base salary and (ii) the greater of the target value or the calculated value as of the date upon which a change in control) occurred for each of his outstanding awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan with a performance measurement period that had not ended as of the change in control, with the change in control date being deemed the last day of the performance measurement period. In the case of such a change in control, the calculated value of each such outstanding award under the Long-Term Incentive Plan will be determined, if applicable, using a closing stock price (as defined under the Long-Term Incentive Plan) that is equal to the fair market value, as determined by the compensation

committee, of the total consideration paid or payable in the transaction resulting in the change in control for one share of our common stock. In addition, in the event that we terminate the executive’s employment without cause or the executive resigns for good reason, the executive will be eligible to continue to participate, subject to his copayment of premium amounts at the active employees’ rate, in the Company’s group health, dental and vision programs for a period of 18 months following termination.

Under the terms of the severance agreements with Messrs. Cannon and Meyer, and the severance agreement we had with Mr. Burke, if the executive’s employment is terminated on account of his death or disability, the cash severance payment he is entitled to receive is equal to the sum of the target value of each of his outstanding awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan with a performance measurement period that has not ended as of the executive’s date of termination, subject to the executive’s execution of a general release of claims in the case of a termination due to disability.

In addition, under the terms of the severance agreements with Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer, and under the terms of the severance agreement we had with Mr. Burke, in the event that the executive’s employment is terminated under the scenarios above, all of his time-based restricted stock will fully vest. No payments will be made to compensate Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon or Meyer, and no payments were made to compensate Mr. Burke, for additional taxes, if any, imposed under Section 4999 of the Code for receipt of excess parachute payments.

In addition, under the scenarios above, Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer are, and Mr. Burke was, entitled to receive any earned but unpaid base salary and any earned but unpaid incentive compensation (if any). The severance agreements with Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer provide, and the severance agreement with Mr. Burke provided, that during the term of the executive’s employment and for 12 months after the termination of his employment for any reason, the executive has agreed not to solicit our employees to leave their employment with us or to solicit any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with us.

(1)

Under our severance agreements with Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer, we may terminate the executive’s employment in the event that the executive is disabled and unable to perform the essential functions of his employment with or without reasonable accommodation for a period of 180 days (which need not be consecutive) in any 12-month period.

(2)

Under our severance agreements with Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer, we may terminate the executive’s employment at any time without cause. Cause means: (i) conduct by the executive constituting a material act of misconduct in connection with the performance of his duties, including, without limitation, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates other than the occasional customary de minimis use of Company property for personal purposes; (ii) the commission by the executive of any felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud, or any conduct by the executive that would reasonably be expected to result in material injury or reputational harm to us if he were retained in his position; (iii) continued non-performance by the executive of his duties (other than by reason of the executive’s physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) which has continued for more than 30 days following written notice of such non-performance from our board of directors; (iv) a breach by the executive of any of his confidentiality or non-solicitation obligations under his severance agreement; (v) a material violation by the executive of our written employment policies, or (vi) failure to

cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Company to cooperate, or the willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation.

(3)

Under our severance agreements with Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer, the executive may terminate his employment with good reason. Good reason means that the executive has complied with the good reason process following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a material diminution in the executive’s responsibilities, authority or duties; (ii) a material diminution in the executive’s base salary except for across-the-board salary reductions based on our financial performance similarly affecting all or substantially all senior management employees of the Company; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the executive provides services to the Company; or (iv) our material breach of the severance agreement. Good reason process means that (i) the executive reasonably determines in good faith that a good reason condition has occurred; (ii) the executive notifies us in writing of the first occurrence of the good reason condition within 60 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (iii) the executive cooperates in good faith with our efforts, for a cure period not less than 30 days following such notice, to remedy the condition; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, the good reason condition continues to exist; and (v) the executive terminates his employment within 60 days after the end of the cure period. If we cure the good reason condition during the cure period, good reason will not be deemed to have occurred.

(4)

Under our severance agreements with Messrs. Baird and Coke, if we terminated the executive’s employment without cause or the executive terminated his employment with us with good reason (as described in footnotes 2 and 3 above) and such termination occurred within 12 months after a change in control, the cash severance amount would have been equal to any earned but unpaid incentive compensation (if any) plus two times the sum of the executive’s then-current annual base salary plus the greater of the target value or the calculated value of each outstanding award under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. The cash severance amount with respect to each outstanding award was determined using the greater of the target value or the calculated value as of December 31, 2022. The sum of the aggregate target values of the outstanding awards as of December 31, 2022 for each of Messrs. Baird and Coke was approximately $3.7 million. If the cash severance with respect to each such award was paid at the target value instead of the calculated value as of December 31, 2022, the total cash severance for each executive would be approximately $14.4 million instead of the approximately $15.6 million amount reflected in the “Total Payments” column.

(5)

Under our severance agreements with Messrs. Cannon and Meyer, if we terminated the executive’s employment without cause or the executive terminated his employment with us with good reason( as described in footnotes 2 and 3 above) and such termination occurred within 12 months after a change in control, the cash severance amount would have been equal to any earned but unpaid incentive compensation (if any) plus one times the sum of the executive’s then-current annual base salary plus the greater of the target value or the calculated value of each outstanding award under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. The cash severance amount with respect to each outstanding award was determined using the greater of the target value or the calculated value as of December 31, 2022. The sum of the aggregate target values of the outstanding awards as of December 31, 2022 for each of Messrs. Cannon and Meyer was approximately $1.5 million. If the cash severance with respect to each such award was paid at the target value instead of the calculated value as of December 31, 2022, the total cash severance for each executive would be approximately $4.6 million instead of the approximately $4.9 million amount reflected in the “Total Payments” column.

(6)

Under our severance agreements with Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon and Meyer, if the executive’s employment was terminated upon his death or disability (as described in footnote 1 above), the executive, or his estate, as the case may be, would have been entitled to receive any earned but unpaid incentive compensation (if any) plus the target dollar value of each of his outstanding awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan.

(7)	Under our severance agreements with Messrs. Baird, Coke, Cannon, and Meyer, if we terminated the executive’s employment without cause or the executive terminated his employment with us with good reason as described in footnotes 2 and 3 above, the executive would have been entitled to receive a cash

severance payment equal to any earned but unpaid incentive compensation (if any) plus one times the executive’s then-current annual base salary plus the target dollar value of each of his outstanding awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan.

(8)	Represents the value of the acceleration of the executive’s unvested shares of restricted stock owned by the executive as of December 31, 2022, calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares by $56.87, closing price per share of common stock on the last day of trading of 2022.
