Table of Contents statements contained in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional information on the performance shares granted under the Omnibus Plan in 2011, see the footnotes and narrative following the 2011 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below. Assuming that the highest level of performance conditions are achieved, the grant date fair value of the performance shares granted under the Omnibus Plan in 2011 to each named executive officer would be as follows Mr. Delen: $9,264,382; Mr. Adams: $2,597,890; Mr. Gilchrist: $1,910,782; Mr. Holton: $1,868,294; and Dr. Gentry: $1,437,845. No stock-based long-term incentive award was granted to Ms. Ivey in 2011. The amounts shown in this column do not equal the actual value that any named executive officer received in 2011 with respect to the vesting of his long-term incentive award. The actual value any named executive officer receives at the end of the performance period for his award is determined based on the specific terms of the grant documentation for the award, and such value may differ significantly from the amounts shown in this column. For the value that each of the named executive officers actually received in 2011 in connection with the vesting of certain shares of restricted stock, see the 2011 Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table below. (7) The amounts in this column for 2011 were paid to the named executive officers in the first quarter of 2012 and represent annual incentive award payments with respect to 2011 performance. For information regarding the foregoing annual incentives, see Compensation Discussion and Analysis Analysis of 2011 Compensation Decisions Annual Compensation Annual Incentive Compensation 2011 Annual Incentives above, and for further information regarding the annual incentive opportunity for each named executive officer, subject to the maximum award payout limitations established by the Compensation Committee, see the narrative following the 2011 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below. (8) The amounts in this column for each named executive officer for 2011 represent the total change in the actuarial present value of the executive s accumulated benefit under all defined benefit plans, including supplemental plans, for 2011. For additional information regarding the defined benefit plans in which the named executive officers participate, see the 2011 Pension Benefits Table below. (9) The amounts shown in this column for 2011 include, among other items: (a) contributions made by RAI to the named executive officers under RAI s qualified defined contribution plans, and amounts credited by RAI to the accounts of the named executive officers in RAI s non-qualified excess benefit plans (with such excess benefit plans described in greater detail in the footnotes and narrative following the 2011 NonQualified Deferred Compensation Table below), as follows:
