Explanation of responses
- F1Represents common shares surrendered by the reporting person to STFC (or disposed to the issuer thereof) for payment of tax liability incident to a prior Restricted Stock award issued on 3/1/18, which has a performance-based vesting. Prior thereto, such disposition to the issuer had been approved by the STFC Compensation Committee pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e) and is therefore exempt from the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The price per share of $34.06 represents the closing price of STFC's common shares on March 1, 2019.
- F2Includes the following acquisitions: 203.248 shares acquired in Dec, 2018 through the STFC Employee Stock Purchase Plan; 16.298 shares acquired in December, 2018 through Restricted Dividend Reinvestment; and 55.981 share acquired in December, 2018 as dividend reinvestment.
