- F1. Each share unit represents the economic equivalent of one share of common stock. Upon vesting, the share units are settled (i) 50% in cash based on average of the high and low sale prices of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of settlement (or the average of the high and low sale prices of the common stock on the preceding trading day if the settlement date is not a trading day) and (ii) 50% in shares of the Company's common stock, with any odd or fractional units rounded toward the share units to be settled in cash.
- F2. Additional share units accrue when and as dividends are paid on the Company's common stock. The number of share units accrued will be equal to the dollar amount of dividends that would be payable if the share units were actual shares of common stock, divided by the average of the high and low sale prices of a share of the Company's common stock on the date dividends are paid.

"Additional share units accrue when and as dividends are paid on the Company's common stock."
Dividends are cash payments a company gives to its shareholders from profits or cash reserves, effectively sharing part of its earnings with owners. They matter to investors because they provide a steady income stream, act like an interest or rent payment on owning the stock, and signal management’s confidence in the business—factors that influence total return and share price. Regular or special dividends can change an investor’s income and reinvestment strategy.
