- [F1]On October 24, 2014, Symetra Financial Corporation's board of directors declared an extraordinary cash dividend to shareholders of record as of November 7, 2014 of $1.30 per common share. Pursuant to the provisions of the Symetra Financial Corporation Equity Plan, on November 11, 2014, Symetra Financial Corporation's compensation committee approved a non-discretionary adjustment to outstanding stock options to reduce the exercise price of the options from $28 per share to $26.70 to reflect distribution of the extraordinary dividend to shareholders. The Securities and Exchange Commission deems any adjustment to the exercise price of an outstanding option to be a cancellation of the "old" option and a grant of a replacement option; therefore, these two reported transactions reflect the amendment of that stock option. The amended stock option was originally granted on June 11, 2010 and vests on June 30, 2017.
