options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock
units, restricted stock and cash incentive awards.
The 2017 EIP incorporates a broad variety of cash-based and
equity-based incentive compensation elements to provide the
Compensation Committee with significant flexibility to
appropriately address the requirements and limitations of recently
applicable legal, regulatory and financial accounting standards in
a manner mutually consistent with the purposes of the 2017 EIP and
shareholder interests.
Subject to permitted adjustments for certain corporate
transactions, the maximum number of shares that may be delivered to
