(1) Each performance based restricted stock unit represents the Company's commitment to issue one share of the Company's common stock.
(2) On February 24, 2012 the reporting person was awarded performance based restricted share units under the Issuer's Stock Incentive Program. The vesting of these restricted share units was based on the Issuer's achievement of certain performance metrics based upon the completion of audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. On September 14, 2014, the Issuer's Compensation Committee determined the number of restricted share units as to which the performance criteria had been satisfied and the restricted share units so determined have therefore vested in whole on such date.
(3) Represents shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligation upon the vesting on September 14, 2014 of certain restricted share units. This award includes a provision for the withholding of shares by the Issuer to pay the withholding taxes due on the vesting date.
(4) On February 24, 2012 the reporting person was awarded performance based options to purchase the Issuer's common stock under the Issuer's Stock Incentive Program. These options were based on the Issuer's achievement of certain performance metrics based upon the completion of audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. On September 14, 2014, the Issuer's Compensation Committee determined the number of options as to which the performance criteria had been satisfied and the options so determined have therefore vested on such date.
