Explanation of responses
- F1The stock option vests in three equal annual installments beginning on January 20, 2017.
- F2Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. The restricted stock units vest in one installment on December 31, 2017, subject to certain conditions related to CARO's EPS. In order to vest any portion of the restricted stock units, CARO must achieve certain EPS over the two-year period ending December 31, 2017. The participant can earn 50% of the restricted stock units upon CARO achieving a minimum diluted EPS threshold, and 100% of the restricted stock units upon achieving the target CARO diluted EPS threshold. Vested shares, if any, will be delivered to the reporting person by March 31, 2018.
- F3On July 31, 2015, the Company paid a 20% stock dividend which has been accounted for in the total shares held on this Section 16 form.
