On the October 25, 2012 vesting date RSUs were settled for 600 shares of common stock, of which 191 shares were withheld to pay taxes applicable to such settlement. The Fair Market Value of the shares withheld to pay taxes was determined to be $62.42 per share as of that date, which was the closing price for the common stock on NYSE MKT.
