In accordance with Item 402(v) requirements, the fair values of unvested and outstanding equity awards were remeasured as of the end of each fiscal year, and as of each vesting date, during the years displayed in the table above. For PSUs and Performance Options, fair values reflect the probable outcome of the performance vesting conditions as of each measurement date. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation at grant, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form

10-K.

4	The amounts in this column assume the investment of $100 on December 31, 2021 on Forte’s common shares traded on the NYSE and the reinvestment of all dividends since that date.
