TERMS OF THE PLAN
Administration
We have appointed Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., to administer the Plan (“Wells Fargo Shareowner Services”) as agent for the participating shareholders. On February 1, 2018, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. completed the sale of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services to Equiniti Group plc. In connection with the sale of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, its business and operations, the administrator appointment was transferred to EQ Shareowner Services. Accordingly, EQ Shareowner Services currently administers the Plan. References to the “Plan Administrator” are to EQ Shareowner Services.
As the Plan Administrator, EQ Shareowner Services keeps records, sends statements of account to participants and performs other duties relating to the Plan. Common stock purchased under the Plan will be registered in the name of EQ Shareowner Services, as Plan Administrator, or EQ Shareowner Services’ nominee as agent for participants in the Plan.
