Each grant of restricted share units is scheduled to vest in approximately equal annual installments until the third year from the date of grant. For the grant issued June 21, 2017, two of the annual installments vested on June 21, 2018 and June 21, 2019 (999 shares in total). For the grant issued June 25, 2018, one installment vested on June 25, 2019 (566 shares). The total amount reported in this row reflects the remaining number of unvested restricted share units.
