(b)Such shares were issued in August 2023.
(c)Such shares were issued in August 2022.
(d)Such shares were forfeited due to the retirement of a recipient before the completion of the applicable three-year performance cycle.
(e)Of the shares forfeited from the 2019 grant, 10,538 shares were not earned in 2022 because the applicable market condition was only partially satisfied and the remaining 2,750 shares were forfeited in 2019.
(f)Generally, the recipient must maintain a relationship with the Company during the applicable three-year performance cycle.
(g)RSUs vest upon satisfaction of metrics related to average annual total stockholder return (“TSR Metric”) and average annual return on capital (“ROC Metric”; together with the TSR Metric, the “Metrics”) and are issued to the extent the Compensation Committee determines that the Metrics with respect to the vesting of such shares have been satisfied.

NOTE 11 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

The specific metrics and other material terms and conditions of the RSUs are as follows:

Performance Criteria (a)

Year RSU Granted

Metric

Weight

Minimum

Maximum

2019 - 2020 (b)

ROC Metric (c)

50%

Average annual of at least 7.0%

Average annual of at least 9.75%

TSR Metric (d)

50%

Average annual of at least 7.0%

Average annual of at least 12.0%

2021 - 2023 (e) (f)

ROC Metric (c)

50%

Average annual of at least 6.0%

Average annual of at least 8.75%

TSR Metric (d)

50%

Average annual of at least 6.0%

Average annual of at least 11.0%

(a) If the average annual ROC or TSR falls between the applicable minimum and maximum performance criteria, a pro-rata portion of such units, as applicable, vest.

(b) Such RSUs were not entitled to voting or dividend rights.

(c) The ROC Metrics meet the definition of a performance condition. Fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. For ROC Awards, the Company does not recognize expense when performance conditions are not expected to be met; such performance assumptions are re-evaluated quarterly.

(d) The TSR Metrics meet the definition of a market condition. A third-party appraiser prepares a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of such awards, which is recognized ratably over the three-year service period. For these TSR awards, the per unit or share fair value was estimated using the following assumptions:

(1)Calculated based on the historical and implied volatility.

(e) Such RSUs are (i) not entitled to voting rights and (ii) upon vesting, the holders receive an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the underlying shares had such shares been outstanding during the three-year performance cycle.

(f) As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company accrued an aggregate of $450,000 and $210,000 of dividend equivalents, respectively, for the 2023, 2022 and 2021 RSUs based on the number of shares that would have been issued, underlying such RSUs, using performance and market assumptions determined as of such dates.
