On July 29, 2025, Sun Communities' Compensation Committee granted cash transaction bonuses totaling $3.2 million to three executives, including CEO Gary A. Shiffman, for their work on the Safe Harbor Marinas sale. The filing ties the bonuses to a sale that the company says closed its initial phase on April 30, 2025 for $5.25 billion, so shareholders can see the payouts as tied to that transaction.
