Shares for the purposes of determining compliance with the Group 1 Stock Ownership Policy are defined as Group 1 common stock held outright (by the executive/director or their spouse), restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, shares or share equivalents held in a Company savings plan or deferred compensation plan. Stock options, stock appreciation rights and performance share awards that have not achieved the performance requirements are excluded from the definition of shares under the Group 1 Stock Ownership Policy.

Non-employee directors must achieve their required ownership level within five years of joining the Board, and officers (including the NEOs) must achieve their ownership levels within five years of appointment to an officer role. Shares of common stock owned by the director and his or her immediate family members who share the same household, whether held individually or jointly, and grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units also count for purposes of the director stock ownership guidelines. Each of our directors and officers has met, or is expected to meet within the applicable timeframe, our current stock ownership requirements.
