    <remarks>In addition to the awards reported herein, on February 6, 2018, the Reporting Person also received a grant of performance share units (PSUs), which will be reflected on a Form 4 if and when such units vest.  Vesting of the PSUs will be determined by the Issuer's average return on investment and relative TSR over the three-year performance period ending December 31, 2020.</remarks>
