Explanation of responses
- F1The stock option vests in three equal annual installments beginning on February 15, 2018
- 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, 2018, subject to certain conditions related to the CARO's pretax operating EPS, as defined in the award. In order to vest any portion of the restricted stock units, CARO must achieve certain diluted pretax operating EPS, as defined, over the two-year period ending December 31, 2018. The participant can earn 50% of the restricted stock units upon CARO achieving a minimum diluted pretax operating EPS threshold, and 100% of the restricted stock units upon achieving the target CARO diluted pretax operating EPS threshold. Vested shares, if any, will be delivered to the reporting person by March 31, 2019.
