Explanation of responses
- F1The amount listed in Table II represents the vesting of the RSUP18 award. The award vested on March 1, 2016 and because the performance targets were achieved, the award was paid out at a performance rate of 150%. The shares coded "F" were withheld to cover income tax obligations associated with the payout.
- F21 for 1
- F3Includes restricted stock and shares acquired through dividend reinvestment.
- F4This transaction reflects the deferred portion of the RSUP18 award. As a result, the reporting person is reporting the disposition of shares of common stock in exchange for an equal number of shares of phantom stock. The phantom stock becomes payable upon retirement or other termination of employment under arrangements approved by the Compensation Committee.
- F5FE's 401(k) Savings Plan includes a unitized fund invested in FE stock, in which the reporting person may invest, and includes dividend reinvestment and company match features. The number of shares reported as indirectly held in the 401(k) Savings Plan in this row is an estimate of the number of shares of FE's common stock held in the unitized stock fund and allocated to the reporting person's account as of December 31, 2015.
