Since the performance-based conditions for fiscal year 2021 were achieved, the first half vested based on performance as follows: 16.6% on each of September 15, 2021, September 15, 2022, and September 15, 2023.The second half vested on September 15, 2023, based on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors September 13, 2023 determination that 106.3% of the performance-based conditions for fiscal year 2023 were met resulting in an increase of 473 PSUs earned by the Reporting Person. This award is fully vested.
