are available for issuance under the existing equity plan.
Below is additional information about the Companys existing equity plan,
as of the record date, that may be useful to shareholders when considering Proposal Number Three:

There were 1,628,186 stock options outstanding, with a weighted-average exercise price of $70.73 and a weighted-average contractual life of 6.3 years.
|
|
|
|
There were 386,169 unvested shares of restricted and performance stock (in aggregate) outstanding, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $97.44.
|
As previously disclosed in the Proxy, as of the record date, there were 47,149,446 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 690,523
shares of common stock remained available for future grants and awards under the existing equity plan.
