Explanation of responses
- F1Pursuant to the merger agreement by and among Prysmian S.p.A., Alisea Corp., and General Cable, dated as of December 3, 2017, ("Merger Agreement"): (i) 5,177 shares of common stock were canceled and converted into the right to receive $30.00 per share in cash without interest, and (ii) 18,838 restricted stock units ("RSUs") were each cancelled and converted into an award (a "Converted RSU") representing the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of common stock subject to such RSU multiplied by $30.00. Each Converted RSU is subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to such RSU immediately prior to the effective time, provided that the Converted RSU will vest on the earlier of (A) the originally scheduled vesting date and (B) the date that is six months after the completion of the merger, subject to continued service through such time (or upon such officer's earlier qualifying termination of employment).
- F2This performance stock unit ("PSU") was granted on March 17, 2017 with a three-year performance period commencing as of January 1, 2017. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding PSU granted in 2017 was cancelled and converted into an award (a "2017 Converted PSU") representing the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of common stock subject to such PSU (based on target performance) multiplied by $30.00. Each 2017 Converted PSU is subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to such PSU immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, provided that the performance-vesting conditions no longer apply.
- F3This option, which was granted on March 17, 2017, provided for vesting in three equal annual installments beginning on March 17, 2018. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding stock option was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to the excess of $30.00 over the exercise price per share of common stock subject to such stock option.
