F1 Unrestricted shares of the Issuer's common stock issued under the 2021 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2023 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.
F2 The Reporting Person disposed of these shares of the Company's common stock to the Issuer to satisfy the Reporting Person's tax withholding obligations in connection with the awarding of shares that occurred on March 19, 2024.
F3 This price represents the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on March 18, 2024.
F4 Performance units issued under the 2021 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2023 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan. Each performance unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock. The performance units are earned at the rate of 10% per quarter commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2025 and concluding with the quarter ending June 30, 2027. The number of performance units actually earned by the Reporting Person is subject to adjustment based on the Issuer's achievement of certain performance goals as set forth in a performance unit award agreement by and between the Issuer and the Reporting Person.
F5 The number of shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting of the remaining outstanding Performance Units was reduced as a result of the book value impairment event that occurred pursuant to the Company's Long Term Incentive Compensation Plans (the "Plans"). A book value impairment event occurs if the Company's book value per share declines by more than 15% during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and the Company's book value per share decline from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 was more than 10%. The Plans provide that if such a book value impairment event occurs, then the number of outstanding performance units that are outstanding as of the last day of such two quarter period shall be reduced by 15%.
