Explanation of responses
- F1Market share units ("MSUs") granted on March 3, 2014 and converted to an equal number of shares of Issuer's common stock upon vesting on March 4, 2016, in accordance with the terms of the 2014 MSU award.
- F2Not applicable.
- F3Each MSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock based on certain vesting conditions. The number of MSUs reported as beneficially owned following the reported transaction represents 50% of the target number awarded on March 3, 2014. The actual number of shares of common stock that may vest is contingent on the market price levels that the Issuer's common stock achieves during pre-determined intervals, with a potential payout ranging from 30% to 200% of the number of target MSUs awarded. The remainder of this 2014 MSU award will vest after the performance period ending on March 3, 2017.
