For the periods covered, no individual equity awards were granted and vested in the same year and no dividends or other earnings were paid on outstanding and unvested awards. The valuation assumptions used to calculate the fair values of performance shares reflect the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the applicable measuring date (or actual performance results approved by the Compensation Committee as of the applicable vesting date). Outstanding RSUs accrue dividend equivalent units in the form of additional common shares that are not distributed unless and until the underlying award vests and becomes payable. The value of dividend equivalent units is reflected in the values set forth above.
