Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking financial guidance or general business outlook commentary. The primary risk disclosed relates to the forfeiture of awards if executives do not remain employed through the performance period (December 31, 2013), except in cases of death, disability, or change in control. In the event of a change in control, awards may convert to 100% of target shares or be calculated based on an abbreviated performance period.
