Explanation of responses

F120,060 Restricted Stock Units became fully vested and have been converted to Common Stock.
F288,483 Performance-based Restricted Stock Units became fully vested and have been converted to Common Stock.
F3Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of EGHT common stock.
F4This award vests at the rate of one-fourth of such shares at September 22, 2016, one-fourth of such at September 22, 2017, one-fourth of such at September 22, 2018, and one-fourth of such at September 22, 2019.
F5Payment of tax liability by withholding securities incident to vesting of restricted stock units.
F6As previously reported on a Form 4, the reporting person was awarded 179,440 performance share units (PSUs) on September 22, 2015, of which 50% were eligible to vest on each of the second and third anniversaries of the award date. On September 22, 2017, the first installment of 89,720 PSUs vested at 194.71 % of target, such that 174,693 shares became issuable. Of these shares, 88,483 were issued to the reporting person and the remaining 86,210 were withheld to pay the associated tax liability. The 84,973 units reported in Table II correspond to the additional shares issued in excess of 89,720 share target for the first vesting installment.
F7RSUs vest (1) 50% on September 22, 2017 and (2) 50% on September 22 2018, in each case subject to performance of 8x8's common stock relative to the Russell 2000 Index during the period from grant date through such vesting date. A 2x multiplier will be applied to the total shareholder returns (TSR) for each 1% of positive or negative relative TSR, and the number of shares earned will increase or decrease by 2% of the target number shown in table. In the event 8x8's common stock performance is below negative 30%, relative to the benchmark, no shares will be issued. Maximum number of shares issuable is two times the number shown in the table.
