According to the award agreement between the Issuer and Reporting Person governing such award (the "Award Agreement"), the final number of Restricted Shares to vest shall be determined as of the end of the Award Term, based on (i) the Reporting Person's continued employment with the Issuer through vesting, and (ii) the Issuer's achievement of certain performance objectives established for it by the Committee under the LTIP.

These shares are eligible to vest, if at all, in three approximately equal annual tranches as of July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2026, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service with the Issuer through the applicable vesting dates.
