        <footnote id="F1">These shares are represented by a restricted stock unit award bearing the right to receive Common Shares and are scheduled to vest in ratable annual installments over a three-year period from the grant date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This reflects the target number of performance-based restricted stock units awarded. Actual awards may vary from as low as zero to as high as 2.5 times the target. As soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the Performance Period (beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2026) and in no event later than March 15, 2027, the number of shares that may ultimately be earned will be determined and issued.</footnote>
