If the criteria are achieved prior to the target date, then up to 150% of the shares covered by the award may be earned. If the criteria are achieved after the target date, but still within the designated period, then fewer than 100% of the shares may be earned. If the criteria are not achieved by the specified deadline, then the award will be forfeited. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person on the date(s) provided in the award agreement, subject to the reporting person's continued service over the later of: (i) three years from the grant date or, (ii) the date on which the target is achieved.
