The following chart compares cumulative TSR on our common shares against the cumulative total return of the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Mid Cap Chemicals Index for the five-year period 2010年12月31日 to 2015年12月31日, assuming in each case a fixed investment of $100 and reinvestment of all dividends. Our performance has exceeded the S&P 500 Index as well as the S&P Mid Cap Chemicals Index. The $1 million deduction limit generally does not apply to compensation that satisfies Section 162(m)’s requirements for qualified performance-based compensation.
