Hi Angela,

The first empty cell in the table is not a header. It should be in a td.
Replace <th scope="col" width="15%">&nbsp;</th> with <td width="15%"></th>.

Think to add an abbr to the n/a. Is it not applicable, not available?
e.g. <abbr title="not applicable">n/a</abbr>

Birkir,
Thanks. I've made a few changes and look forward to your review. And to anyone else's who takes a look.

I took the definitions that were in the Vesting and Portability headers and moved them out of the table. I created footnotes from the table to these definitions. I also relabeled the column headers to remove the split TRS 3 column.
I also added "n/a" to empty cells.
