The reported disposition represents the surrender of shares to satisfy tax obligations arising from the vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $44.36 to $44.75. The reporting person undertakes to provide to American Express Company, any security holder of American Express Company, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within this range.
Shares held in reporting person's account under the Company's Retirement Savings Plan. This plan uses unit accounting, and the number of shares that a participant is deemed to hold varies with the unit price of the Company pooled stock fund.
