The reported disposition represents the surrender of previously owned shares to satisfy the cost of exercise and the surrender of newly acquired shares to satisfy tax obligations arising from the exercise of employee stock options.
Includes shares acquired pursuant to dividend reinvestment.
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.
These options became exercisable in three equal annual installments beginning on the date shown as "Date Exercisable."
