Explanation of responses
- F1Shares were withheld as payment of a tax liability incident to vesting of restricted stock units issued in accordance with Rule 16b-3.
- F2Each performance share unit ("PSU") represented a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. The PSUs were earned by acheiving a target level of performance measured against calculated cash flow targets during a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2014. Awards could range from 50% of the PSUs if the threshold is met up to a target of 100% of the PSUs if performance meets the specified levels. The amount reported above reflects vesting of 94.7% of PSUs and all other PSUs initially granted were forfeited.
