Explanation of responses
- F1Mr. Housenbold has received an exempt award of Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs") under the Groupon, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan.

Mr. Housenbold has elected to receive DSUs in lieu of the annual retainer fees payable for services on Groupon's Board of Directors and any committees thereof. The DSUs are awarded on the date such fees would otherwise be payable (i.e., quarterly in arrears). The DSUs are immediately vested.
