Dr. Michalopoulos informed ISS that this plan is part of his individual long-term strategy for asset diversification and tax planning.

The Rule 10b5-1 plans were set up in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and ISS’ policies regarding stock transactions.
Rule 10b5-1 permits corporate officers and directors to adopt written, pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information. Using these plans, officers and directors can gradually diversify their investment portfolios and spread stock trades over a period of time regardless of any material, non-public information they may receive after adopting their plans.
The transactions under Dr. Michalopoulos’ and Mr. Eleftheriou’s10b5-1 plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the terms of each of the plans, the shares will be sold on the open market at prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds.
