[1] | On April 30, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an additional 7,800,000 shares for issuance under the 2015 Plan.
[2] | Amount includes approximately 0.5 million shares that have been reserved for potential future issuance related to certain performance unit awards granted in the first quarter of 2020 and discussed under the section titled “Nonvested Equity Stock and Stock Units” below.
[3] | For purposes of determining the number of shares available for grant under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) against the maximum number of shares authorized, each share of restricted stock granted reduces the number of shares available for grant by 1.5 shares and each share of restricted stock forfeited increases shares available for grant by 1.5 shares.
