The Reporting Person owns a 13.1874% limited liability company interest in Mockingbird and two trusts under his control own the remaining 86.8126%. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by Salisbury and Mockingbird except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
F6 Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock.
F7 Vesting of the PSUs granted on April 15, 2022 is contingent upon the achievement of a performance and service requirement. The performance component measures absolute total shareholder return over each of four performance periods: Performance Period One beginning on the grant date and ending on April 15, 2023, Performance Period Two beginning on April 15, 2023 and ending on April 15, 2024, Performance Period Three beginning on April 15, 2024 and ending on April 15, 2025, and Performance Period Four beginning on the grant date and ending on April 15, 2025.
F8 The performance component for one quarter of the PSUs is determined following the completion of each respective performance period. Depending on the level of achievement of such goals, the actual number of PSUs earned could range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs, as shown in column 5. Irrespective of the performance achieved during each performance period, the PSUs generally will not vest unless the Reporting Person also remains continuously employed from the grant date through April 15, 2025.
