PERFORMANCE VESTING CONDITIONS
This Exhibit A contains the performance vesting conditions and methodology applicable to the PRSUs. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and the Agreement, the portion of the PRSUs subject to this Award, if any, that become vested during the Performance Period will be determined upon the Committee’s certification of achievement of the performance criteria in accordance with this Exhibit A, which shall occur within sixty (60) days following the end of the Performance Period (the “Certification Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto in the Agreement or the Plan.
A. Performance Period
Performance Period | Percentage of Target PRSUs That Vest Subject to the Performance Vesting Conditions |
January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 | 100% |
B. Performance Criteria
The performance criteria for the PRSUs is determined by measuring the relative total shareholder return (“Relative TSR”), which measures the Company’s TSR (as defined below) as compared to the TSR of the Company’s performance peer group, as listed in Exhibit B (the “Peer Group”, and each member thereof a “Peer Group Member”) over the Performance Period set forth in the Agreement.
Total shareholder return (“TSR”) shall be calculated as follows:
Ending Price (EP) – equals the relevant company’s average closing stock price for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the last day of the Performance Period.
Beginning Price (BP) – equals the relevant company’s average closing stock price for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the first day of the Performance Period.
Cash Dividends (CD) – equals the total of all cash dividends paid on a share of the relevant company’s stock during the Performance Period.
C. Certification of Performance Vesting
On the Certification Date, the Committee shall certify the Company’s Relative TSR for the Performance Period and, based on such Relative TSR, the percentage of the Target PRSUs that vest during the Performance Period shall be determined in accordance with the table below, with Relative TSR linearly interpolated between the listed values. If the Company’s TSR is negative during the Performance Period, the maximum percentage of the PRSUs that vest during the Performance Period shall be 100%.
Relative TSR | Percentage of Target PRSUs Earned |
Exhibit A
≥75th percentile | 200% |
≥50th percentile | 100% |
≥25th percentile | 50% |
<25th percentile | 0% |
All unvested PRSUs subject to this Award that are outstanding as of the date immediately following the last day of the Performance Period shall be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration if they do not become vested as set forth above.
D. Additional Factors or Information Regarding Performance Vesting Methodology
Consistent with the terms of the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the terms of the Plan or the Agreement, including this Exhibit A and Exhibit B shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, and shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all persons.

If, (i) at the end of the Performance Period, any Peer Group Member is no longer publicly traded or (ii) during the Performance Period, any Peer Group Member declares bankruptcy, the TSR of such Peer Group Member shall be deemed to be the lowest ranked TSR in the Peer Group (and, if multiple Peer Group Members are no longer publicly traded at the end of the Performance Period or declare bankruptcy during the Performance Period, such Peer Group Members shall be ranked in order of when such delisting or bankruptcy occurs, with earlier bankruptcies and delistings ranking lower than later bankruptcies, and delistings). If, during the Performance Period, any Peer Group Member is involved in a merger or acquisition, then (a) if such Peer Group Member is the surviving company, such Peer Group Member will continue to be a Peer Group Member and (b) if such Peer Group Member is not the surviving company, then such Peer Group Member will be removed from the Peer Group and the TSR of such removed Peer Group Member shall not be included in calculating the Relative TSR.
