In the Company’s proxy statement for the 2012 annual meeting of shareowners, we are seeking shareowner approval of the material terms of the performance measures under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan (As Amended Effective February 7, 2012) to preserve the tax deductibility of certain awards under this plan (the “2010 Plan Performance Measures Proposal”).
 

In order to provide our shareowners additional information to take into consideration when determining how to vote on the 2010 Plan Performance Measures Proposal, we are providing updated information on our equity compensation plans.  Specifically, the table below reflects the number of shares to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights and the number of securities remaining available for issuance under our shareowner-approved equity plans as of March 30, 2012, but excluding 3,240,365 awards that are scheduled to vest and/or be fully distributed from our equity plans within one week of our April 24, 2012 annual shareowner meeting.
