Explanation of responses
- F1As disclosed in the registrants annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, on December 20, 2016, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 171,919 shares of common stock. The option vests in two equal annual installments based on the registrant's satisfaction of certain performance criteria for the fiscal year ending December 2017. The performance criteria for 2017 were met, resulting in vesting of the option as follows: 85,960 shares vested on March 8, 2018 and 85,959 shares will vest on March 8, 2019. No Form 4 filing was required upon the initial grant of the option because the option was subject to vesting based on conditions that were not tied to the passage of time and continued employment and not tied directly to the market price of the registrant's common stock.
