The award - initially determined as a cash value - was subject to a three-year performance period, which ended April 30, 2013. The number of shares issued was determined by multiplying the cash value of the award by a three-year performance adjustment factor, adjusting upwards to account for dividends paid during the second and third years of the performance period, and then dividing that amount by $41.96, which is the closing price of the issuer's Class A common stock on the date of the grant. paulvargapoa.txt Holli H.
