• Footnotes: The DSUs were issued as dividend equivalents and are payable solely in common stock when settled. The company treats this transaction as exempt from Section 16(a) reporting and from short-swing liability under Section 16(b) due to the Plan’s dividend reinvestment feature and applicable Rule 16b-3 provisions.
