The reported disposition represents bona fide charitable gifts made by the reporting person.
Represents shares acquired pursuant to vesting of Restricted Stock Units ("performance units") that were granted to the reporting person in January 2012 and have vested based on the Company's 2012-15 return on average equity performance. Pursuant to the Company's stock ownership guidelines, the reporting person is required to hold 50% of shares received upon the vesting of equity awards for a period of one year.
The reported disposition represents the surrender of shares to satisfy tax obligations arising from the vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
Shares held in reporting person's account under the Company's Retirement Savings Plan. This plan uses unit accounting, and the number of shares that a participant is deemed to hold varies with the unit price of the Company pooled stock fund.
