("WOR") completed a pro rata spin-off distribution (the "Distribution") of all of its common shares of the Issuer to the holders of record of WOR common shares as of November 21, 2023 (the "Record Date"). In connection with the Distribution, pursuant to the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2023, by and between WOR and the Issuer (the "EMA"), all outstanding equity awards with respect to WOR common shares held by the Reporting Person were equitably adjusted and converted into equity awards with respect to the Issuer's common shares, with such equitable adjustments determined based on (i) the closing price of one WOR common share on the close of trading on November 30, 2023 and (ii) the closing price of one Issuer common share on December 1, 2023.
F2 Represents the grant of restricted stock of WS ("WS Restricted Shares") upon the conversion of restricted stock of WOR held by the Reporting Person as of December 1, 2023 in connection with the Distribution, in accordance with the terms of the EMA.
