Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 10, 2026,
the shareholders of the Company, at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, approved the AMREP Corporation 2026 Equity
Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan will become effective on September 20, 2026. The Plan terminates on, and no award
will be granted under the Plan on or after, September 19, 2036; provided, however, that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”)
may, at any time prior to that date, terminate the Plan.
The Plan is administered
by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). All directors and employees of the Company
or its affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the Plan, including the Company’s named executive officers, Christopher V.
Vitale and Adrienne M. Uleau.
Awards under the Plan
may be made to eligible persons in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, stock appreciation
rights, dividend equivalent rights and other forms of equity-based awards, as contemplated in the Plan. With respect to option awards,
the exercise price of the option is required to be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock,
par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”) on the grant date. The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
may be granted under the Plan is 500,000 shares, subject to adjustment in the event there is a merger, consolidation, stock split, reclassification,
recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock.
The maximum number of
shares of Common Stock that may underlie options granted in any calendar year to any eligible participant under the Plan, other than any
non-employee director of the Company or its subsidiaries (each a “Director”), may not exceed 50,000 shares. The maximum number
of shares of Common Stock that may underlie awards issued under the Plan, other than options, granted in any calendar year to any eligible
participant under the Plan, other than any Director, may not exceed 30,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may
underlie options granted in any calendar year to any Director may not exceed 25,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
that may underlie awards issued under the Plan, other than options, granted in any calendar year to any Director may not exceed 15,000
shares. Awards under the Plan may, but are not required to, be subject to one or more measures of objective or subjective business, financial
or individual performance or other performance criteria established by the Committee in its discretion.
On September 10, 2026,
the Board approved the Form of Deferred Stock Unit Agreement to be used for awards of deferred stock units under the Plan and the Compensation
and Human Resources Committee of the Board approved the Form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement to be used for awards of restricted stock
under the Plan.
As discussed in the Company’s
Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2026, on the last trading day of calendar year 2026 and
each year thereafter, each non-employee member of the Board shall be issued the number of deferred stock units of the Company under the
Plan equal to $30,000 divided by the closing price per share of Common Stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange on such date, provided
that, such amount is pro-rated to reflect any director’s removal or retirement from the Board, any decision that a director not
stand for reelection to the Board or any new director being appointed or elected to the Board.
The foregoing description
of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Form of Deferred Stock Unit Agreement and Form of Restricted Stock
Award Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3.
