Includes 50357 shares of restricted stock units (RSUs) the reporting person elected to receive on a deferred basis in lieu of a portion of his 2012 annual cash incentive award pursuant to the Company's Executive Stock Purchase Plan.
On June 14, 2011, the reporting person was granted 250000 performance share units (PSUs) under the Company's 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. On June 14, 2012, the pre-established performance goal for this award was met and 50% of the PSUs vested immediately and were converted into common stock. The remaining PSUs will vest and convert on June 14, 2013.
