Id Content
F1 The purpose of this amendment to the Form 4 filed on February 13, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to correct the source of Reporting Owner's disposal of Class A Common Stock. Class A Common Stock was reported as being withheld on February 10, 2024 as the result of withholding tax liability upon vesting of restricted stock. The transaction was in regard to a stock option exercised on February 12, 2024.
F2 On December 7, 2023, Company declared a stock dividend, payable to all holders on record of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock as of January 8, 2024, of one share of Class A Common Stock for every four shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock outstanding. At the same time, pursuant to anti-dilution provisions , an option for 5,264 shares Class A Common Stock on January 8, 2024 became exercisable for 10,527 shares of Class A Common Stock.
F3 Shares withheld by the Issuer in payment of the aggregate option exercise price and withholding tax liability incurred upon the above-reported exercise of options. The amount of shares withheld is based on the respective average of the high and low sales prices on the date of exercise.
F4 The units represent interests in the CENTA Stock Fund in the Issuer's 401(k) Plan, which consist of shares of CENTA stock and cash.
F5 This option was previously reported as an option for 5264 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $28.50 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the stock dividend declared by Company on December 7, 2023. As a result of the stock dividend, the option also entitled the Reporting Person to receive, upon exercise, 10527 shares of Class A Common Stock for no additional consideration.
F6 Options were granted on February 10, 2020, and all shares are vested and are exercisable.
