Explanation of responses
- F1The shares reported represent common shares purchased from the Issuer by the Reporting Person upon exercise of his investment rights pursuant to the Issuer's 2018 Bonus Swap Program under its Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan"). The Reporting Person elected to use 50% of his 2018 net bonus to purchase common shares at a purchase price of $64.75 per share ("Investment Shares").
- F10Represents an award of additional 2016 PBRSUs that were earned based on the results of the Issuer performance condition.
- F11Each whole dividend equivalent right represents a contingent right to receive one common share, subject to increase or decrease based on the results of the Issuer performance condition.
- F12Represents an award of additional dividend equivalent rights that were earned based on the results of the Issuer performance condition.
- F13These dividend equivalent rights accrued on the 2016 PBRSUs. Dividend equivalent rights accrue when and as dividends are paid on the common shares underlying the 2016 PBRSUs and vest proportionately with and are subject to settlement and expiration upon the same terms as the 2016 PBRSUs to which they relate.
- F14These restricted share units vest on December 31, 2022.
- F15These dividend equivalent rights accrued on the 2018 restricted share unit award (the "2018 RSUs"). Dividend equivalent rights accrue when and as dividends are paid on the common shares underlying the 2018 RSUs and vest proportionately with and are subject to settlement and expiration upon the same terms as the 2018 RSUs to which they relate.
- F16The Issuer granted the 2019 restricted share units ("2019 RSUs") to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Issuer's 2018 Bonus Swap Program under its 2014 Plan. The Reporting Person elected to use 50% of his 2018 net bonus to purchase Investment Shares and received a matching grant of 2019 RSUs in an amount equal to 50% of his gross bonus, multiplied by a multiple based on the Reporting Person's position level with the Issuer ("RSU Multiplier"), and divided by the purchase price of $64.75 per share. The RSU Multiplier was 2.0 for executive vice presidents and above. If the Reporting Person sells 50% or less of the Investment Shares, he will forfeit 3,250 of the 2019 RSUs and a proportionate number of the remaining 2019 RSUs based on the number of Investment Shares sold. If the Reporting Person sells more than 50% of the Investment Shares, he will forfeit all of the 2019 RSUs.
- F17These restricted share units vest on December 31, 2023.
- F18The shares reported represent an award of performance based restricted share units ("2019 PBRSUs") granted to the Reporting Person.

The number of common shares that will be earned at the end of the three-year performance period is subject to increase or decrease based on the results of the Issuer performance condition.
- F2Pursuant to the Issuer's 2014 Plan, the purchase price of the Investment Shares is, and the number of matching restricted share units described in footnote 16 below pursuant to the Issuer's 2018 Bonus Swap Program is calculated based on, the last sales price of a common share of the Issuer on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date, in this case February 21, 2019.
