 plan benefits paid from the stock account are paid in whole shares of Company stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share).

Each non-employee director also receives an annual grant (as noted in the table above) based on his or her election of share units or RSUs with a one-year vest period under the LTIP each year he or she serves on the Company’s Board. The grants generally occur on the 30th day following the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders each year. Share units accrue dividend equivalents and are settled in the same manner as share units under the Directors Plan. RSUs earn dividends paid in cash at the time dividends are paid to the Company’s shareholders. Unlike the RSUs that are settled upon vesting, share units must be held until the director’s separation from service and are settled in accordance with the terms of the Directors Plan described above.
