Footnotes

F1: The amount listed in Table II represents 50% of the original RSUP17 award, which was the minimum amount guaranteed to be paid out upon vesting. The award vested on March 5, 2015 and because the performance targets were achieved, the award was paid out at a performance rate of 100%. The shares coded "A" represent the portion attributable to this performance adjustment. The shares coded "F" were withheld to cover income tax obligations associated with the payout.
