(1) Restricted Shares vest in the amount of 1/6th of the grant on each of the six annual anniversaries following the respective grant date. Mr. Daniels has 6 grants still outstanding, and of those the following shares remain unvested at this time: 125 shares from the grant on 9/1/12; 110 shares from the grant on 3/1/13; 140 shares from the grant on 4/1/14; 420 shares from the grant on 7/1/15; 480 shares from the grant on 3/1/16; and 840 shares from the grant on 12/1/17. In addition he has 800 shares from a special grant on 12/1/14 which will vest on 12/1/18.
(2) Assuming a recipient's continued employment (or death or disability while employed) and the satisfaction of certain performance goals is achieved, this award would vest at the end of a three-year performance period that began on January 1, 2018 and ends on the last NYSE trading day of December 2020 (the "Performance Period"). At the end of the Performance Period, 100% of the award will vest if the Company is in the top 75th percentile of Return On Invested Capital of the Bloomberg Peer Group as shown by data published by Bloomberg upon the close of the NYSE market on the last trading day of the Performance Period. If this criteria is not met, then no shares shall vest and the award be forfeited.
