Actual number of shares to vest based on performance results ( 2 )RSUs time-based; granted 2/17/15 ( 3 )RSUs performance-based were originally filed on 3/4/2014 at the maximum performance criteria. This supplements that filing to note the actual number shares that vested based on the performance results. ( 4 )RSUs time-based originally filed on 3/4/2014 were reported with RSUs performance-based and combined into one holding. This clarifies that filing and creates a separate holding for the RSUs time-based only.
