Explanation of responses
- F1On February 4, 2014, the reporting person reported the grant of certain market restricted stock units (the "MRSUs"). The MRSUs have a service-based vesting component as well as a Total Shareholder Return Multiplier. On January 31, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the service-based vesting component of the MRSUs, the third tranche of such award vested. Based upon the Total Shareholder Return Multiplier, the reporting person received 597 additional shares of the Company's restricted stock, such shares representing the amount vested in excess of the target amount of MRSUs initially reported on Form 4 in February 2014.
- F2Includes 133 shares acquired through the accrual of dividend equivalents on the MRSUs vested as of January 31, 2017.
- F3On February 4, 2014, the reporting person reported the grant of certain performance stock units (the "PSUs"). The PSUs have a service-based vesting component as well as a performance vesting requirement. Under the service-based vesting component, the PSUs vest 100% after three years subject to the reporting person's continued employment with Synovus. Under the performance vesting component, Synovus' weighted average return on average assets is measured over a three-year performance period. Based upon the weighted average return on average assets, the "target" amount of PSUs which vested was adjusted downward. As such, the reporting person received 39 less shares of the Company's restricted stock than the target amount of PSUs initially reported on Form 4 in February 2014.
- F4Includes 193 shares acquired through accrual of dividend equivalents on the PSUs vested as of January 31, 2017.
- F5These shares were withheld upon the vesting of the MRSUs and PSUs to pay tax witholding obligations.
