Pay versus performance measurement date fair values were determined based on the same methodology used for grant date fair value purposes. Restricted stock units were valued based on the closing stock price on the relevant measurement date. Performance stock units were valued using a fair value per share determined using a Monte Carlo model run on the relevant measurement date. On the vesting date, the final payout factor is applied to the closing stock price on that date.
