Market and Performance-Based Stock Unit Awards

The Company awards both performance share units, or PSUs, and relative total stockholder return units, or rTSRUs, to its executive officers. The number of units granted represents the target number of shares of common stock that may be earned; however, the actual number of shares that may be earned ranges from 0% to 150% of the target number. The number of shares cancelled represents the target number of shares, less any shares that vested. The following table summarizes PSU and rTSRU activity (at target) for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2026:
