Explanation of responses
- F1The reporting person was granted an aggregate of 12,200 phantom shares under ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc.'s ("ARMOUR") Second Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to the time-based vesting schedule as follows. 600 phantom shares will vest on February 20, 2018 with an additional 600 phantom shares vesting on each following May 20, August 20, November 20 and February 20, through May 20, 2022. On August 20, 2022, 700 phantom shares will vest, with an additional 700 phantom shares vesting on November 20, 2022, at which time all phantom stock shall have vested. Upon vesting, the reporting person will be entitled to an equal number of shares of ARMOUR common stock within 30 days.
- F2The reporting person's unvested phantom stock will fully and automatically vest upon the reporting person's death, disability, and in the event of a change in control of ARMOUR. Upon removal of the reporting person for cause, all unvested phantom stock shall be forfeited by the reporting person. In the event of a resignation or retirement, provided the sum of the reporting person's age and years of service is equal to or greater than 70, the reporting person will retain his unvested phantom stock which will remain subject to the vesting schedule set forth in this report, subject to satisfactory continuing fulfillment of certain conditions and related tax consequences and risks specified in the reporting person's grant agreement.
- F3The reporting person also has the right to elect to have withholding taxes or a portion thereof, as the case may be, satisfied by reducing the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the reporting person by some or all of such shares. With respect to each phantom share, the reporting person will receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the cash dividend distributions paid in the ordinary course on a share of ARMOUR common stock. The reporting person also has the right to elect in lieu of the cash dividend payment a number of shares of common stock equal to the dividend payment payable divided by the fair market value of a share of ARMOUR common stock on the date of the dividend payment.
- F4Each unit of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of ARMOUR common stock.
