Item 9B — Other Information
At the Feb. 23, 2011 meeting of the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, the Committee approved a policy
whereby individuals newly hired or promoted to vice president and executive officer positions will be eligible to receive a
supplemental pro rata grant of long-term incentive awards. This new policy has the effect of ensuring that the recipient has a total
level of long-term incentive that is consistent with awards that would be granted to someone holding the position throughout the
performance period, adjusted on a pro rata basis to reflect the time during the performance period the person is in the new
position. At the February 2011 meeting, the Committee granted an aggregate of 19,099 shares of bonus stock and 23,874
performance-based restricted stock units to our President and Chief Operating Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer under this new policy.
