(1) The reporting person was granted an option to purchase these shares on 10/15/2015. 25% of this option vested on 10/15/2016, with the remaining portion vesting quarterly over the following three years.
(2) Represents contingent right to receive 1 share of Common Stock per RSU. Vesting depends on Company achievement of performance-based targets for the fiscal years ended 12/31/16, 12/31/17 and 12/31/18. Vesting date is the date of filing of the Company's Form 10-K for the associated fiscal year. 1/3 of the total grant is eligible to vest upon attainment of each year's performance targets. If a fiscal year target is not attained, the shares that would have been eligible to vest are forfeited.
(3) Represents contingent right to receive 1 share of Common Stock per RSU. Vesting depends on Company achievement of performance-based targets for fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2017. Percentage of shares eligible to vest (if any) are based on level of target achievement for fiscal 2017. 50% of eligible shares vest on the third day following the date of the Company's filing of Form 10-K for fiscal year 2017 (the "Vesting Date"), and 25% of eligible shares vesting on each of the first and second anniversary of such Vesting Date. If no shares are eligible to vest on the Vesting Date, all shares under this grant are forfeited.
