(the "Issuer") certified the Issuer's absolute total shareholder return ("TSR") performance over the third performance period, which ran from April 15, 2024 through April 15, 2025, at the maximum level, resulting in 25% of the target number of performance share units ("PSUs") originally granted on April 15, 2022 that vest based on absolute TSR becoming earned at 200% of the target amount granted over such third performance period.
F2 On May 6, 2025, the Compensation Committee also certified the Issuer's absolute TSR performance over the fourth performance period, which ran from April 15, 2022 through April 15, 2025, in between floor and target levels, resulting in 25% of the PSUs originally granted on April 15, 2022 that vest based on absolute TSR becoming earned at 39.49% of the target amount granted over such fourth performance period. The service-based vesting requirements applicable to the PSUs originally granted on April 15, 2022 that vest based on absolute TSR were satisfied as of April 15, 2025 and the awards will be settled in connection with the Compensation Committee's certification of performance.
