Pursuant to the amendments, the deferral procedures were amended such that participants may (i) defer all or a portion of their cash director fees, in increments of 25%, and all of their equity director fees, each of which will be credited to the participants account in the Plan in the form of stock units equal to one share of our common stock valued, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, on either the first business day of the plan year or the date of the award, as applicable, (ii) elect to receive a distribution of their account in the Plan on a fixed date in the future or upon a termination of their directorship with us, (iii) apply for a distribution of all or any part of the participants vested account in the Plan in the event of a financial hardship and (iv) elect to receive the distribution of their account balance that relates to the deferral of cash director fees in installments in four equal payments over four years, or two equal payments over two years, or if no election is made, in one lump sum payment. A copy of the Amended and Restated Plan is being filed as an exhibit to this report.
