F1Options vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after grant date.
F2Each Performance Share represents a contingent right to receive 0 to 1.5 shares of Common Stock. The conversion rate (0, .5, or 1.5) ultimately applied to these Performance Shares will be determined based on the compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR") of the Common Stock between January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 (the "Performance Period").
F3This represents one half of the Performance Shares which were awarded on January 20, 2016 and are required to be reported at this time because they constitute derivative securities. The other half do not constitute derivative securities and therefore are not required to be reported at this time.
F4The number of shares of Common Stock underlying this grant of the Performance Shares will be 0 to 1.5 times the number of Performance Shares granted depending on CAGR achieved during the Performance Period.
