(1) The reported transaction reflects the satisfaction of a "total shareholder return" ("TSR") performance goal for restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted on 5/27/2011 (the "Grant Date"). On 3/19/2013, the Human Resources Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors certified that the TSR performance goal had been attained. Each RSU will be redeemed automatically for one share of Issuer common stock upon satisfaction of service-based vesting conditions. RSU's vest to the extent of 50% of the underlying shares on each of the 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the Grant Date.
(2) Includes 20,263 RSUs subject to service-based vesting conditions not yet satisfied.
(3) The reported transaction reflects the satisfaction of a TSR performance goal for call stock options ("Options") granted on 5/27/2011 (the "Grant Date"). On 3/19/2013, the Human Resources Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors certified that the TSR performance goal had been attained. Options become exercisable in installments, with 50% of the optioned securities becoming exercisable on the 2nd anniversary of the Grant Date, and 25% becoming exercisable on each of the 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the Grant Date. To the extent not exercised, installments are cumulative.
