On April 20, 2005, the Organization and Compensation Committee approved the following actions:
- New Grants: Restricted stock and stock options were granted to four executive officers. The grants vest in three equal annual installments beginning April 20, 2005. Stock options have an exercise price of $27.97 per share and terminate on April 20, 2015.

- Vesting Acceleration (John H. Jacko): The vesting schedule for outstanding stock options granted to John H. Jacko (VP of Strategy, Marketing and Communications) was accelerated. Options now vest in three equal annual installments beginning July 17, 2003, becoming fully vested on July 17, 2005. Previously, vesting was scheduled to begin July 15, 2005.
- Vesting Modification (Lewis J. Kling): Terms were modified for 46,000 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase 75,000 shares granted to COO Lewis J. Kling in July 2004. If Mr. Kling's employment is involuntarily terminated prior to the July 2007 vesting date (and not otherwise accelerated), vesting will be deemed accelerated. This acceleration does not apply if termination is for "Cause."
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no financial guidance, outlook, or general risk factors. The primary contingency noted is the specific condition regarding the acceleration of Mr. Kling's equity awards upon involuntary termination, excluding terminations for "Cause."
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of shares authorized under the 2004 Stock Compensation Plan to assess remaining capacity.
- Confirm the impact of the accelerated vesting for Mr. Jacko and the modified terms for Mr. Kling on future compensation expense recognition.
- Review the definition of "Cause" in the Transitional Executive Security Plan to understand the conditions under which Mr. Kling's acceleration clause would not apply.
- Check subsequent filings for the actual vesting dates and any further modifications to these equity awards.
