Explanation of responses
- F1For each vested Restricted Stock Equivalent Unit ("RSEU"), Blue Bird Corporation (the "Issuer") will make a cash payment to Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. ("CCP") equal to the fair market value of a share of the Issuer's common stock on the Settlement Date. "Settlement Date" means the earlier of (i) the date Adam Gray's ("Gray") continuous service on the board of the Issuer terminates for any reason or (ii) the date of the consummation of a change of control. The RSEUs vest on April 2, 2018.
- F2The RSEUs were received by CCP pursuant to an agreement under which Gray assigned to CCP the right to receive all compensation (including equity compensation) that Gray would otherwise receive as a director of the Issuer.
- F3These securities are held directly by CCP, an investment limited partnership of which Coliseum Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CC"), is general partner and for which Coliseum Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("CCM"), serves as investment adviser. Coliseum Capital Partners II, L.P. ("CCP2" and, together with CCP, the "Funds") is an investment limited partnership of which CC is general partner and for which CCM serves as investment adviser.
- F4Christopher Shackelton ("Shackelton") and Gray are managers of CCM and CC. Coliseum School Bus Holdings, LLC ("CSB") is a Delaware limited liability company through which CCP, CCP2 and a separate account investment advisory client of CCM (the "Separate Account") have invested in the Issuer's 7.625% Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock.
