Id Content
F1 On June 24, 2019, the reporting person was granted performance share awards covering 75,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock at the target performance level, zero to 200% of which would become eligible to vest based on the achievement of 2021 performance goals as certified by the Issuer's compensation committee. Following certification of achievement of the performance criteria for fiscal 2021 by the Issuer's compensation committee at the 200% performance level, 150,000 shares vested on March 4, 2022.
F2 This transaction was a broker-assisted sale of shares of common stock to satisfy the withholding tax liability incurred upon the vesting of the performance shares, as mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plan documents, and does not represent a discretionary trade by the reporting person.
F3 The reported price in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $32.67 to $33.44 per share, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the issuer, any security holder of the issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.
F4 Includes 161,192 shares of common stock and 143,348 restricted shares. Each restricted share represents the right to receive, upon vesting, one share of common stock. 59,324 restricted shares will vest on June 24, 2022; 33,783 restricted shares will vest evenly over two years on March 9, 2022 and March 9, 2023; 22,729 restricted shares will vest on March 16, 2022; and 27,512 restricted shares will vest evenly over two years on March 16, 2023 and March 16, 2024.
