( 1)  On February 22, 2012, the reporting person was granted 5,850 Restricted Stock Units for no monetary consideration. The Restricted Stock Units convert into (i) 1,170 common shares and (ii) cash equal to the market value of 4,680 common shares (measured at the date of vesting) upon the vesting of such Restricted Stock Units. These Restricted Stock Units were previously reported as a grant of 1,950 Restricted Stock Units converting into (i) 390 common shares and (ii) cash equal to the market value of 1,560 common shares. These amounts have been adjusted to reflect the issuer's 3-for-1 stock split paid on May 23, 2014.

These Restricted Stock Units were previously reported as a grant of 1,190 Restricted Stock Units converting into (i) 595 common shares and (ii) cash equal to the market value of 595 common shares.
