¹In March 2025, the Company began issuing equity awards containing language that permits certain awards to continue vesting following a recipient's retirement (the "Retirement Clause"). The Retirement Clause is applicable for award recipients that have (i) attained the age of sixty-five, (ii) completed ten or more years of continuous service, and (iii) provided at least six months' written notice prior to the last day of service. Since recipients who meet the eligibility conditions of the Retirement Clause are not required to continue providing service following their retirement in order for certain of their awards subject to the Retirement Clause to continue vesting, the service period for such recipients is six months rather than the stated vesting period per the award.
