Forfeiture restrictions will lapse with respect to the 2024 RSUs granted on the basis of one-third of the grant on January 1, 2025, an additional one-third of the grant on January 1, 2026 and the remaining one-third of the grant on January 1, 2027. Upon each 2024 RSU vesting, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has the option to pay the value in cash at its discretion.</footnote>
