On May 8, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s
Flexible Stock Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), to delete former Section 11.1, which read as follows:
“11.1 Replacement. The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to surrender a Benefit in
exchange for a new Benefit.”
The amendment approved by the Board also renumbers former Section 11.2 (Tandem Awards) as 11.1 and
deletes the reference to replacement awards in the title of Article XI.
The Plan is being amended to address a negative recommendation recently issued by Institutional
Shareholder Services (“ISS”) with respect to the proposed amendment to the Plan. For additional
information on this matter and the ISS negative recommendation, please see the Schedule 14A filed
by the Company with the SEC on May 9, 2011.
