The restricted shares were scheduled to vest upon satisfaction of the time-based and performance-based conditions. The time-based condition is satisfied so long as the participant continues to have a service relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries or any management company on the applicable vesting dates. The performance-based condition is satisfied upon determination by the Company that the fleet utilization as defined in the awards, equals or exceeds 85% for the period from January 1, 2024 through the end of the last complete fiscal quarter preceding each vesting date. The vesting schedule is as follows: 25% of the shares vested on January 1, 2025, 25% vested on July 1, 2025, 25% vested on January 1, 2026, and 25% vested on July 1, 2026.
