(1) On June 30, 2016, the reporting person was granted 16,317 restricted stock units (RSUs), of which 10,878 remain outstanding and will vest on incrementally on June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019. On January 26, 2017, the reporting person was granted 2,298 RSUs, all of which remain outstanding and will vest incrementally in equal amounts on January 26, 2018, January 26, 2019 and January 26, 2020, respectively. On November 1, 2017, the reporting person was granted 3,374 RSUs, which vest incrementally in equal amounts on November 1, 2018, November 1, 2019 and November 1, 2020, respectively. In the event of a change in control, all unvested RSUs may vest immediately under certain circumstances. Upon vesting, the reporting person will receive a number of shares of HomeStreet common stock equal to the number of RSUs that vest on that date.
(2) Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of HomeStreet common stock. RSUs do not require the holder to pay any consideration on vesting.
