Footnotes from the filing
On March 3, 2023, the Reporting Person was granted Performance Stock Units ("PSUs"), the amount of which was subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria for the 2023-2025 performance period. The shares reported represent the number of PSUs that were earned as a result of the achievement of such performance criteria and approved by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board on February 12, 2026. The earned value of these shares is now subject to vesting, which will occur on March 3, 2026.
