- F2The terms of this long-term incentive award mandate that the Company withhold shares to satisfy the reporting person's tax obligation.
- F3Forty percent of the units awarded in 2014 were contingent on performance measures. Because the company did not meet these measures, the subject units did not vest and were forfeited under terms of the award.
