Each restricted stock unit granted on or after April 27, 2023 reduces the number of shares available for grant by 1.0 share and each restricted stock unit forfeited increases shares available for grant by 1.0 share. (3) Amounts include approximately 0.2 million shares that have been reserved for potential future issuance related to certain performance unit awards granted in each of the years 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, and discussed under the section titled “Nonvested Equity Stock and Stock Units” below.
