In effecting the intra-plan transfer, each phantom stock unit was deemed to be the economic equivalent of one share of the issuer's common stock. The phantom stock units were acquired under the issuer's Deferred Compensation Plan. Each unit represented the right to receive the cash value of one share of the issuer's common stock upon the reporting person's retirement or the occurrence of other events, including termination of employment, death, unforeseeable emergency or change in control of the issuer. Subject to the terms of the plan, the reporting person was permitted to transfer amounts allocated to his phantom stock account into an alternative investment option at any time. Jerry W.
