In connection with his election to the Board, and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, Mr. Sadove will be granted an award of restricted stock units that represents a pro-rata amount of the current annual equity award to non-associate directors based on the effective date of Mr. Sadove’s election.
