A total of 712 thousand shares of common stock were issued as a result of RSU and PSU vestings, net of tax.

Restricted Stock Units

The weighted average fair value of the RSUs granted in 2026, calculated as an average of the high and low prices on grant date, was $26.84. The vesting provisions for RSUs granted in 2026 were consistent with prior year grants.

Performance Share Units

The weighted average grant date fair value of PSUs granted in 2026 was $26.29. The final number of shares granted in 2026 will vest between a range of 0 percent to 150 percent of each grant's target, depending upon actual company total shareholder return (TSR) compared against the TSR of an industry peer group, as well as company progress in achieving EBITDA growth targets. TSR assumes full reinvestment of dividends. In the event of negative absolute TSR, the TSR component used in the blended payout calculation is capped at 125 percent.
