Explanation of responses
- F1This represents the difference between the number of stock appreciation rights (SARs) exercised (925) and the number of shares issued as a result of the exercise (309). Each SAR represents the right, upon exercise, to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal in value to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of Common Stock (as determined on the date of the exercise) exceeds the exercise price.
- F2This represents the withholding of shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding liability associated with the exercise of the SARs that was reported in this Form 4.
- F3The Reporting Person was granted 3,700 SARs on September 1, 2015. From the original grant of 3,700 SARs, 925 SARs vested and became exercisable on September 1, 2016. The SARs generally vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the number of underlying shares covered by the grant on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the Reporting Person's continued employment with Cable One, Inc. through each such date.
