(1) 873 shares are restricted common stock granted to the reporting person pursuant to issuer's long term incentive compensation plan for employees, granted on February 4, 2015. The shares vest ratably over a three-year period on each annual anniversary of the grant.
(2) Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of common stock and are granted to the reporting person pursuant to the issuer's long-term incentive compensation plan for employees. The restricted stock units were granted on February 3, 2016 and February 1, 2017 and vest ratably over a three-year period on each annual anniversary of the grant.
(3) Each performance right represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock at vesting. The performance rights vest at a rate between 0% and 200% and are based on a number of factors during a three-year performance cycle which may include but are not limited to: 1) the issuer's average return on net assets ("RONA") in comparison to the RONA averages of a predetermined peer group; 2) the issuer's growth in bookings in comparison to the growth in gross domestic product of countries that are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development; 3) the issuer's relative total share holder return ("TSR") in comparison to the TSR averages of a predetermined peer group; and 4) the issuer's return on invested capital measured against the issuer's performance relative to its weighted average cost of capital and relative to a predetermined peer group. The performance rights may be settled, at the issuer's discretion, in cash or shares of common stock.
