Upon vesting, shares of Performance Common Stock automatically convert into shares of Common Stock and the reporting person is entitled to receive the distributions that would have been paid with respect to a share of Common Stock (for each share of Performance Common Stock that vests) on or after the date the shares of Performance Common Stock were initially issued.
