(1) The amounts shown in this column reflect the fair value of awards of restricted stock made in early 2015,
2014 and 2013 in connection with our program of making annual long-term incentive compensation grants.
The fair value of the awards presented in the table above has been determined in accordance with FASB
ASC Topic 718. For purposes of this table, in accordance with SEC disclosure rules we determined the fair
value of shares of:
• time-vested restricted stock using the closing trading price of our Common Shares on the day of grant;
• relative performance-based restricted stock (as defined below) as of the grant date based on probable
outcomes using Monte Carlo simulations; and
• absolute performance-based restricted stock (as defined below) based on probable outcomes (subject to
future adjustments based upon changes in the closing trading price of our Common Shares at the end of
each reporting period).
