In 2021, the Board of Directors approved a deferred compensation plan which is offered to all our directors, excluding Mr. Kaufman, which allows each individual to elect to defer some or all of their cash and/or equity awards (the “Director Deferred Comp Plan”). The Director Deferred Comp Plan also allows for an election, in the event of a deferral of equity, to either receive dividend equivalents in cash, or to defer the dividend equivalents and have them converted to additional deferred equity.
