Explanation of responses
- F1Upon the vesting of our restricted share units, the reporting person is required to pay the aggregate nominal value (par value), $0.10 per share, of our Class A ordinary shares actually issued, in accordance with U.K. corporate law. In connection with the transaction reported above, the reporting person paid $491.30 to Ensco plc with respect to the shares actually issued upon vesting of the restricted share units. The remaining 2,068 shares were withheld and not issued to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations.
- F2These shares were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations that arose upon vesting.
- F3The reporting person disposed of these shares to an affiliate of the issuer upon the vesting of previously awarded restricted shares. The purpose of the disposition was to enable the reporting person to satisfy tax withholding obligations that arose upon such vesting, which will be paid to the appropriate taxing authority in cash.
- F4On February 23, 2015, the reporting person was granted 20,943 restricted share units, vesting in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.
