Such restricted shares were subject to both service period vesting (time-based) and the attainment of specified performance criteria (performance-based vesting) related to the Company's stock price and the total shareholder return of the Company's stock relative to a market index. It was previously certified that the performance criteria was achieved to a certain extent and the shares related to such certification were reported on a Form 4 filed on July 29, 2021. Following the end of the performance period, it was determined that the performance criteria was achieved with respect to an additional 28,594 shares.
