Explanation of responses
- F1Shares issued upon vesting of a portion of the 2014 Performance Unit Award ("PUA") relating to fiscal 2014 based on the stock price of ORBCOMM Inc. (the "Company") exceeding the threshold stock price level for fiscal 2014 (13% of the reporting person's 2014 base salary). The remaining portion of the 2014 PUA allocated to fiscal 2014 lapsed unvested. See Footnote 13 below. For 2014, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") determined that the 2014 payout would be made in shares of common stock based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2014 of $6.54 per share.
- F10Each TV SAR represents the right to receive payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of common stock from the date of grant of the TV SAR (October 24, 2012) to the date of exercise of the TV SAR. The TV SAR awards vested on January 1, 2014. The TV SAR awards expire on October 24, 2022 and have an exercise price of $3.53 per share, the closing price of the common stock on the grant date.
- F11Each Performance Vested Stock Appreciation Right ("PV SAR") represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of common stock from the date of grant of the PV SAR (May 15, 2012) to the date of exercise. In March 2013, 5,000 of the 6,000 PV SAR awards originally granted vested based on the achievement by the employee and/or the Company of certain performance targets for the fiscal year 2012 and 1,000 PV SARs lapsed unvested. The PV SARs expire on May 15, 2022 and have an exercise price of $3.15 per share, the closing price of the common stock on the grant date.

- F13The 2014 PUA represents the right to receive up to 45% of the reporting person's 2014 base salary, in cash, common stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The 2014 PUA is allocated in 3 equal amounts (15% of 2014 base salary) to each of 2014, 2015 and 2016 and will vest and be payable only if the stock price reaches specified price targets as of 12/31 of each year and the reporting person is employed by the Company as of the vesting and payment date. No portion of the 2014 PUA will vest if the threshold stock price is not reached for that year. If the stock price is above the threshold level for that year, the amount of the 2014 PUA that will vest and be payable will increase up to the maximum portion of the 2014 PUA allocated to that year. The market price of the Company's common stock as of 12/31 of each year will be based on average daily closing prices of the common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to 12/31.
- F14The 2015 PUA represents the right to receive up to 45% of the reporting person's 2015 base salary, in cash, common stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee.
