Explanation of responses
- F1Each restricted share unit represents a contingent right to receive one Class A Ordinary Share of Rowan Companies plc.
- F2The restricted share units vest on the earlier of the first anniversary date of the grant or the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders. Vested shares (including any dividends) will be delivered to the reporting person after the final termination date of the reporting person's service on the Board of Directors. At the election of the Compensation Committee, such payout may be made in cash or shares. Upon election to the Board of Directors, the new director received a pro-rated annual grant equal to $100,000 of restricted share units. The number of restricted share units reported is calculated using the fair market value of $18.705 on October 28, 2015.
