The Compensation Committee determined the number of shares received based on the Company's return on equity ("ROE") performance relative to a pre-determined goal and relative to the ROE performance of certain life insurance peer companies for the 2018 through 2020 performance period, as adjusted based on the results of an inclusion and diversity modifier.
2. Includes cash settled performance units which were converted from cash to equity settlement based on a decision by the Compensation Committee.
3. Represents shares withheld for the payment of taxes.

The acquisition of such shares was exempt from Section 16 pursuant to Rules 16b-3(c) and 16a-3(f)(1)(i)(B).
