1. Represents vesting of one-quarter of market share units granted on March 10, 2020.

2. Adjustment reflects additional shares acquired upon the vesting of market share units due to the performance factor.

3. Shares withheld for payment of taxes upon vesting of award.

The payout factor is a ratio of the average of the closing price on the measurement date plus the nine prior trading days divided by the average stock price on the grant date (also a 10-day average). The minimum payout factor that must be achieved to earn a payout is 60% and the maximum payout factor is 200%.

7. Twenty-five percent of the market share unit award will vest on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date.

8. Each performance share converts into one share of common stock upon distribution in the first quarter of 2025.
