The following maximum amounts of RSAs may be granted under this Objective LTIP based on the Company’s 2017 consolidated pre-tax income (before charges/credits for changes in Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling interests and any extraordinary items and after consideration of the compensation expense required to be reported in 2017 related to this Objective Bonus Plan and all other management incentive plans): CEO = 11,000 shares; CFO = 5,500 shares; COO = 5,500 shares.
