Footnotes from the filing
The option was previously reported in a filing dated 1/3/2019 as covering 8,653 securities at a strike price of $52 and the amounts are adjusted to reflect two 2-for-1 stock splits on 5/22/2019 and 5/21/2025 respectively.
The option will vest and become exercisable over a period of five years, with 40% the option vesting and becoming exercisable two years following the date of grant, and the remainder vesting and becoming exercisable proportionately on each anniversary of the grant date.
