(the “Company”) approved payout amounts to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) under the Company’s Employee Incentive Program for fiscal year 2012 (the “2012 EIP”). Details on how payments were calculated under the 2012 EIP for the CEO are set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement related to the Annual Stockholders Meeting to be held on April 25, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2013 (the “Proxy Statement”). As of the filing of the Proxy Statement, the payment amounts under the 2012 EIP were not determined and were omitted from the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 24 of the Proxy Statement. An updated Summary Compensation Table reflecting the total non-equity incentive compensation earned by the CEO during fiscal year 2012 is set forth below. Non-equity incentive compensation earned by the other named executive officers is not yet available as of the date of this Report and will be included once it becomes available.
