(1) Scott D. Ferguson was granted an initial grant of 8,042 restricted stock units, as determined by dividing $450,000 by the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on the date of the grant. Mr. Ferguson is entitled to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock for each restricted stock unit. These restricted stock units are granted pursuant to the 2012 Outside Directors' Stock Plan, and vest as to approximately one-third of the shares on an annual basis over a three-year period beginning on March 10, 2016.
(2) Pursuant to an arrangement between Mr. Ferguson and Sachem Head Capital Management LP ("Sachem Head"), the restricted stock units are held by Mr. Ferguson for the benefit of Sachem Head. Such units are included as directly beneficially owned by Mr. Ferguson, but may also be deemed to be beneficially owned by Sachem Head as a result of such arrangements. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
 
Remarks:
