Restricted Stock Units
The firm issued restricted stock units to employees under
the Amended SIP, primarily in connection with year-end
compensation and acquisitions. Restricted stock units are valued
based on the closing price of the underlying shares at the date of

in the applicable restricted stock unit agreements and deliver
shortly after the third anniversary of the grant date. All employee
restricted stock unit agreements provide that vesting is accelerated
in certain circumstances, such as upon retirement, death and
extended absence. Of the total restricted stock units outstanding
