(1) Ms. Nash was not a named executive officer in 2009.
(2) The amounts included in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value calculated in accordance
with FASB ASCTopic 718. The fair value reflects the expected future cash flows of dividends and therefore
dividends on unvested shares are not separately disclosed. The amounts in this column for each fiscal year
exclude the effect of any estimated forfeitures of such awards. The assumptions used in the calculation of these
amounts are included in our audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2011, which are included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
The information provided in the Stock Awards column does not reflect the manner in which the Compensation
Committee viewed or determined the equity compensation values for the named executive officers. Specifically,
under applicable SEC rules, the grant date fair values for the performance-based restricted stock or units is
calculated based on the stock price when the target for each performance period is set. As a result, from the
standpoint of allocating compensation to a particular fiscal period, there is a disparity between the value
approved by the Compensation Committee and the amounts reported above.
(3) In 2011, Mr. Gardner received an annual grant of $3.6 million in PBRSUs that vests ratably over three years
and a $2 million grant of time-based restricted stock that vests 100% on February 15, 2014, subject in each case
to continuous employment through the vesting date.
(4) Amounts for 2011 for Messrs. Gardner, Thomas and Whittington reflect increase in pension value only.
