Footnotes
  1. Represents shares earned upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") for the final performance period of the grant to the reporting person reported on January 17, 2020. The Compensation Committee certified achievement of the pre-established performance goal based on the Issuer's relative total shareholder return as compared to a peer group of companies at a level resulting in a vest of 100% of target shares and a true-up of 72.24% of target shares pursuant to the alternative calculation. Since this PRSU award paid out less than 100% of target for tranche 1 and tranche 2 of such PRSU award, the alternative calculation applies, resulting in an additional payout of 1,146 shares under tranche 1 and 1,586 shares under tranche 2, yielding in the aggregate a total tranche 3 payout of 6,511 shares, or 172.24% of target
  2. Represents shares earned upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") for the second performance period of the grant to the reporting person reported on January 20, 2021.

As reported at grant, the PRSUs could result in a payout of 0% to 150% based on actual achievement of the goal.
