SHARE OWNERSHIP INFORMATION SHARE OWNERSHIP INFORMATION Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (“Section 16(a)”) requires our executive officers and directors, and any persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (the “Section 16 Reporting Persons”), to file with the SEC reports of ownership of the Company’s equity securities and changes in reported ownership. The Section 16 Reporting Persons are required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely on a review of the reports furnished to the Company by, or written representations from, the Section 16 Reporting Persons that all reportable transactions were reported, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Section 16 Reporting Persons timely filed all reports that such persons were required to file under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, however, noting the following: Due to a clerical error, in her Form 4 filed December 18, 2017, the number of shares of common stock acquired by Danielle Hunter in connection with the 2017 LTI equity grant was underreported by 973 restricted shares, 405 performance shares, and 420 non-qualified stock options. A Form 4/A was filed on December 29, 2017 reporting the correct amounts.
