(1) This Form 4 is being filed to correct the number of shares previously reported on a Form 4 as eligible to be received by the Reporting Person based upon the achievement of certain performance goals during fiscal year 2016.
(2) In March 2015, the Reporting Person was granted a performance stock award to potentially earn between 0% and 150% of the target number of shares upon the achievement of pre-established level of earnings per share ("EPS") and net sales growth ("Net Sales Growth") goals. The shares subject to the award are divided into three equal tranches with respect to each of fiscal year 2015, 2016 and 2017. Fifty percent of the target number of shares subject to the award vest based upon the achievement of the EPS goal and the remaining fifty percent vest based upon the achievement of the Net Sales Growth goal. On March 14, 2017, the Issuer's Compensation Committee determined that, based upon the achievement of these metrics during fiscal year 2016, the Reporting Person is eligible to receive 10,190 shares for that fiscal year. To receive these shares, the Reporting Person must be continuously employed by the Issuer through the third anniversary of the grant date.
(3) In April 2014, the Reporting Person was granted a performance stock award to potentially earn between 0% and 150% of the target number of shares upon the achievement of pre-established level of EPS and Net Sales Growth goals. The shares subject to the award are divided into three equal tranches with respect to each of fiscal year 2014, 2015 and 2016. Fifty percent of the target number of shares subject to the award vest based upon the achievement of the EPS goal and the remaining fifty percent vest based upon the achievement of the Net Sales Growth goal. On March 14, 2017, the Issuer's Compensation Committee determined that, based upon the achievement of these metrics during fiscal year 2016, the Reporting Person is eligible to receive 9,585 shares for that fiscal year. To receive these shares, the Reporting Person must be continuously employed by the Issuer through the third anniversary of the grant date.
