The annual equity grant for our non-employeedirectors occurs at the same time as equity grants to our executive officers and team members under our long-term incentive plan. Consistent with our equity grant practice, the number of RSUs granted is based on the prior 20-dayaverage stock price which vest immediately on the grant date. If a non-employeeDirector is appointed to the Board during a fiscal year a prorated annual equity grant is made based on the date in which the Director is appointed, assuming they will serve for the remainder of the year. RSUs are settled with shares of our common stock unless the non-employeeDirector has elected to defer the payout until they cease to be a member of our Board. All of our directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with their service on the Board. In addition, as a casino-entertainment and hospitality services provider, we are able to provide perquisites relating to food and beverage, hotel, entertainment and related offerings, with little or no additional cost to us, at comped values not to exceed $20,000 per year. These offerings allow members of our Board and management the opportunity to better understand and experience our products and services. Mr. Gary L. Carano and Mr. Reeg are
