Performance Units, Performance Shares and Cash-Based Awards

Performance units, performance shares and cash-based awards granted to a participant under the 2025 Plan will be amounts credited to a bookkeeping account established for the participant. A performance unit is a fixed or variable dollar denominated unit with a value determined by our Compensation Committee and stated in the award agreement. The value of a performance share is based on the value of our Shares. A cash-based award has a value that is established by our Compensation Committee at the time of its grant. The number of performance units, performance shares and cash-based awards granted to a participant will be determined by our Compensation Committee. Whether a performance unit, performance share or cash-based award actually will result in a payment to a participant will depend upon the extent to which performance goals or other conditions established by our Compensation Committee are satisfied. After a performance unit, performance share or cash-based award has vested, the participant will be entitled to receive a payout of cash, Shares or a combination thereof, as determined by our Compensation Committee. A participant’s award agreement will describe the effect of a termination of employment or service on the participant’s performance units, performance shares or cash-based award.

Other Stock-Based Awards

Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to grant to participants other stock-based awards under the 2025 Plan, which will be valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on our Shares. The form of any other stock-based awards will be determined by our Compensation Committee, and may include a grant or sale of unrestricted Shares. The number of Shares related to another stock-based award will be determined by our Compensation Committee. Other stock-based awards may be paid in Shares, cash or a combination of Shares and cash, according to the award agreement. The terms and conditions, including vesting conditions, of another stock-based award will be established by our Compensation Committee when the award is made. Our Compensation Committee will determine the effect of a termination of employment or service on a participant’s other stock-based awards.

Dividend Equivalents

Our Compensation Committee will be authorized to provide part of an award with dividends or payment of dividend equivalents, on such terms and conditions as may be determined by our Compensation Committee in its sole discretion and consistent with the 2025
