Context
These entries reflect routine settlement of long-term equity awards (market share units and performance share units) rather than an open-market buy or sale. The M-code events describe conversion/settlement of derivative awards into shares; the F-code events are share-withholdings to satisfy tax liabilities (a common "cashless" element of equity compensation). Performance-related adjustments and future conversion schedules are noted in the footnotes; they can affect final share counts and timing of distributions.

- [F7]Each market share unit converts into the number of shares of common stock determined by applying a payout factor to the target number of shares vesting on a given date. The payout factor is a ratio of the average of the closing price on the measurement date plus the nine prior trading days divided by the average stock price on the grant date (also a 10-day average).

- [F9]Each market share unit converts into the number of shares of common stock determined by applying a payout factor to the target number of shares vesting on a given date. The payout factor is the greater of Total Return and relative total shareholder return (rTSR) Floor. Total Return is a ratio of the 10-day average closing stock price on the measurement date, plus the value of accumulated dividends, divided by the average stock price on the grant date (also a 10-day average). The minimum payout factor for Total Return performance that must be achieved to earn a payout is 80% and the maximum is 225%. The rTSR Floor feature provides a minimum level of payout if BMS stock price declines from the grant date but outperforms our peers based on their TSR percentile rank. A TSR percentile rank (i) below the 50th percentile yields a 0% payout, (ii) between the 50th and 74.99th percentiles yields a 50% payout, and (iii) at or above the 75th percentile yields a 100% payout.
