Explanation of responses
- F1On February 15, 2013, the Reporting Person was awarded 4,909 target performance stock units (as adjusted for the spin-off of Time Inc.) with a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2015. As previously reported on a Form 4 (filed with the SEC on January 28, 2016), on January 27, 2016, the Compensation and Human Development Committee approved a payout of 189.8% of the target PSUs under the performance standards set in 2013, based on (i) the Issuer's cumulative Adjusted EPS achieved during the performance period, which resulted in an Adjusted EPS factor of 183%, and (ii) its total stockholder return for the performance period compared to other companies in the S&P 500, which resulted in a TSR modifier of 103.7%. The PSU payout factor is determined by multiplying the Adjusted EPS factor and the TSR modifier. On February 15, 2016, the Reporting Person acquired 9,317 shares of common stock upon the vesting of the performance stock units.

- F11This option becomes exercisable in increments of 25% on the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, February 15, 2016.
