The award was granted on February 14, 2020 and contained performance goals that the Issuer achieved over the three-year performance period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. The number of earned award units that vested at the end of the three-year performance period, as determined by the Compensation Committee  of the Issuer's Board of Directors, was 131% of the target number of shares subject to the award. The common shares are reported on Table 1.

As a result, the award shall vest 25% per year over the four-year period following the date of grant. The common shares are reported on Table 1.
