* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Transaction was a grant of restricted share units and therefore has no price. Units vest in equal increments on each of March 7, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
(2) Each performance unit represents a contingent right to receive 0 to 2 shares. The conversion ratio ultimately applied to these performance units will be determined based on the absolute increase in the issuer's share price over the performance period (fiscal years 2013-2015). The units are scheduled to vest on January 1, 2016.
(3) Each performance unit represents a contingent right to receive 0 to 2.25 shares. The conversion ratio (0, .5, 1.25 or 2.25) ultimately applied to these performance units will be determined based on the company achieving a total shareholder return relative to a specified peer group over the performance period (fiscal years 2012-2014). The units are scheduled to vest on January 1, 2015.
(4) Each performance unit represents a contingent right to receive 0 to 2 shares. The conversion ratio ultimately applied to these performance units will be determined based on the absolute increase in the issuer's share price over the performance period (fiscal years 2012-2014). The units are scheduled to vest on January 1, 2015.
(5) Each performance unit represents a contingent right to receive 0 to 2.25 registered shares depending on relative shareholder return over the relevant performance period. Units are scheduled to vest on January 1, 2014.
