Explanation of responses
- F1Represents shares of common stock received upon vesting of a restricted stock unit award on December 31, 2018 and delivered on January 2, 2019.
- F2Represents shares sold pursuant to a Sell-to-Cover Rule 10b5-1 Plan to pay withholding taxes due in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock units on December 31, 2018.
- F3Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock.
- F4Represents a restricted stock unit award granted on January 1, 2015 that partially vested on December 31, 2018 and which shares were delivered on January 2, 2019. The restricted stock units vest as follows: one-quarter on the first anniversary of the grant date and the balance in equal quarterly installments over the three year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.
- F5Represents a PSU award granted on February 26, 2016 (the "PSU Award") which covered a three-year performance measurement period ending on December 31, 2018 (the "Performance Period") and was described in the Company's proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2017.
- F6Each Performance Share Unit represents a right to receive one share of common stock.
- F7The PSU Award was subject to certain performance-based vesting requirements tied to the growth in the Company's stock price through the end of the Performance Period as calculated by reference to the 20 trading day trailing average closing price of the Company's common stock (the "Stock Price") as of the last day of the Performance Period compared to such Stock Price as of the beginning of the Performance Period. The Stock Price as of the last day of the Performance Period was $67.25 representing a greater than 760% increase from the $8.85 Stock Price at the beginning of the Performance Period. At target, the PSU Award covered 112,740 PSUs. Because the Stock Price at the end of the Performance Period well exceeded the maximum target Stock Price, the reporting person earned the maximum number of PSUs to which he was entitled under the PSU Award. The PSUs are immediately vested and will settle into shares of Common Stock within 30 days from the date of issuance.
