(1)Solely for purposes of this table, the number of performance shares is based on the participants earning the maximum number of performance shares (i.e., 300% of the target number of performance shares).
(2)The fair value of the awards was determined based upon the closing price of our common stock on the applicable measurement dates (i.e., the deemed grant dates for accounting purposes), reduced by the present value of expected dividends using the risk-free interest-rate, as the award holders are not entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting period.
