Context
- These transactions are routine compensation events: the filings reflect vesting/conversion of company awards and corresponding tax withholdings rather than an outright market sale or purchase by the insider. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is common (coded F) and effectively a net issuance to the insider, not a signal of buying or selling in the open market.
- The awards involved include market-share units and performance share units that are subject to payout formulas and Board certification; final payout can vary based on stock performance and peer-relative TSR.

Footnotes (12)
- [F1]Represents vesting of one-quarter of market share units granted on March 10, 2022.
- [F10]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.
