Footnotes from the filing
Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Stock and Award Plan ("Plan"), and the Notice and Terms of Grant Share-Based Award dated November 1, 2025 ("Notice"), reporting person was granted 822 restricted share units on November 1, 2025, which would vest entirely on October 31, 2026 . Reporting person ceased service of her term with the Company's Board of Directors on March 1, 2026, and, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Notice, the 822 shares granted on November 1, 2025, were prorated based on the last day of her term, resulting in forfeiture of 552 restricted share units. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Directors' Deferred Compensation Sub-Plan, the reporting person elected to defer the remaining 270 restricted share units into share equivalent units.
On May 1, 2026, pursuant to the terms of the Company's Directors' Deferred Compensation Sub-Plan, the totality of the 2,098 stock equivalent units in reporting person's deferred compensation account converted to common shares on a one-for-one basis, and were distributed to her outright by Company's transfer agent.
