[1] The stock price is the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

[2] The expected volatility for each grant is determined based on the historical volatility for the peer group companies and our common stock over a period equal to the remaining term of the performance period from the date of grant for all awards.

[3] The risk-free interest rate is determined based on the yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities for a period that is commensurate with the performance period.

[4] Dividends are considered reinvested when calculating TSR. The dividend yield is therefore considered to be 0%.
