The security converts to common stock on a one-for-one basis.
The phantom stock units were accrued under the Issuer's Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan and are to be settled solely in cash beginning in the calendar year following the reporting person's separation from service with the Issuer.
The reported holdings of phantom stock units include units acquired in dividend reinvestment transactions that are exempt from line-item reporting. The reporting person also directly beneficially owns 6,532 $1 par common shares of the Issuer and 7,650 restricted stock units all acquired under the Issuer's Nonemployee Director Stock Ownership Plan.
