Explanation of responses
- F1Each Performance Share represents the right to receive one share of the Issuer's Ordinary Shares.
- F2At the time of grant on February 10, 2017, the 2017 Performance Shares were eligible for vesting following the achievement of certain financial targets by the Issuer. Prior to the Merger, one third of the 2017 Performance Share award was tested annually over a three-year period. All vested 2017 Performance Shares would have been issued following the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Two thirds of the 2017 Performance Shares were forfeited based on the Issuer's 2017 and 2018 adjusted annual growth in diluted book value per ordinary share test and one third of the 2017 Performance Shares vested at target payout levels in connection with the Merger.
- F3At the effective time of the Merger, each 2017 Performance Share outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was, to the extent not vested, fully vested, and was canceled and converted into the right to receive a lump-sum amount in cash, equal to $42.75, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding, per 2017 Performance Share.
