Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person within 30 days following each respective vesting date.
(2) On January 20, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer determined that performance-vesting criteria were met with regard to 5,750 performance-based restricted stock units granted in a prior year, which were converted into 5,750 shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.
(3) Shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy applicable withholding taxes upon vesting of restricted stock units.
(4) The stock option vests in equal monthly installments over 48 months, beginning on the date that is one month from the date of grant, subject to continued employment with the Company.
