In connection with valuing the grants of equity awards, it is our policy generally to use, as the grant or strike price for any equity award, the closing price of our common stock on the effective date of the grant.

For determining the grant date fair value of PSUs that have an rTSR metric, the Committee utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation performed by an independent third-party valuation firm to determine fair value.

Accordingly, the Company has no specific policy or practice on the timing of stock option awards in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information by the Company. The Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
