Pursuant to the terms of the award agreement, between 0% and 200% of the award could be earned based on the Issuer's TSR Rank for such performance period.  The Issuer's TSR Rank and applicable Performance Multiple (each as certified by the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors, effective February 9, 2021) was 4 and 125%, respectively. Accordingly, an additional 1,947 Performance Units have been credited to the Reporting Person in respect of the September 2017 Award.
