Each such Rayonier RSU is subject to the terms of the applicable predecessor Potlatch equity plan and Potlatch performance share award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any double-trigger vesting acceleration entitlements and excluding any vesting terms related to the satisfaction of performance criteria). At the Effective Time, each outstanding Potlatch restricted stock unit ("Potlatch RSU") converted into a Rayonier restricted stock unit (each, a "Rayonier RSU"), based on the number of shares of Potlatch common stock subject to such Potlatch RSU immediately prior to the Effective time, taking into account any dividend equivalents, multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. Each such Rayonier RSU is subject to the terms of the applicable Potlatch equity plan and Potlatch restricted stock unit agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any double-trigger vesting acceleration entitlements). At the Effective Time, each outstanding Potlatch stock equivalent unit converted into a stock equivalent unit with respect to a number of Rayonier common shares based on the number of shares of Potlatch common stock underlying the stock equivalent unit, taking into account any dividend equivalents, multiplied by 1.8449, rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. The Rayonier stock equivalent units are subject to the terms of the applicable Potlatch deferred compensation plan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including any deferral election thereunder. The Reporting Person holds 20,470 Rayonier stock equivalent units. Includes 14,081, 24,337, and 13,623 Rayonier RSUs granted upon conversion of Potlatch PSUs that are scheduled to vest on December 31 of each of 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.
