 part by reference to shares or are otherwise based on the value of our common stock, such as unrestricted shares or time-based or performance-based units that are settled in shares and/or cash. Each other share-based award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine, consistent with the provisions of the 2025 Plan.

Dividend Equivalents

As determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, awards (other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) may provide the participant with a deferred and contingent right to receive dividend equivalents, either in cash or in additional shares. Any such dividend equivalents will be accumulated or deemed reinvested on a contingent basis, subject to forfeiture until such time as the underlying award becomes vested (including, where applicable, vesting based on the achievement of performance objectives). No dividend equivalents may be granted with respect to shares underlying any stock option or SAR.
