Explanation of responses
- F1Restricted stock granted under the terms of the West Corporation Amended and Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the restricted stock grant, the restricted stock vests as to one-fourth of the shares on each of the first four anniversary dates of March 1, 2016.
- F2These stock units were granted under the Issuer's Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") and represent notional equity interests in the Issuer credited to the filing person's deferred compensation account. Each stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of the Issuer's Common Stock. The Issuer matches 50% of any amounts invested in stock units, subject to vesting as set forth in the Plan. These stock units become payable, through the issuance of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof), on the date specified by the filing person, which can be no earlier than five years following the year of deferral associated with such stock units or, if earlier, six months after the date the filing person separates from service with the Issuer or the date of death of the filing person.
- F3Performance-based restricted stock units granted under the terms of the West Corporation 2013 Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive between zero and 1.75 shares of West common stock. Under the terms of the restricted stock unit grant, the restricted stock unit is subject to vesting based on the specified performance measure (total shareholder return) during the 3-year period beginning on March 1, 2016 and ending on February 28, 2019. Shares of West common stock will be delivered to the reporting person following the vesting date based on the specified performance measure.
