Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

The Company awards performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) to key officers of the Company. The performance-

based shares typically cliff-vest at the end of

three years

 based on attainment of certain performance metrics developed by the

Compensation Committee. The ultimate number of shares issuable under each performance award is the product of the award target and

the award payout percentage given the level of achievement. The award payout percentages by level of achievement range between

0

%

of target and

150

% of target.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted

66,667

 PBRSUs. The performance metrics include

three-year

 cumulative, adjusted earnings per share and relative total shareholder return.
