These RSUs are performance-based RSUs, for which the number of RSUs that would vest was to be determined by the Issuer achieving targeted average annual revenue growth during the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018. In addition, vesting was subject to minimum thresholds for average operating income and average annual revenue growth. A portion of the RSUs were scheduled to vest if the Issuer achieved the thresholds and vesting would increase with performance up to a cap of 10,096 RSUs, which represented 200% of the RSUs that vest upon achievement of the performance metrics at target levels. Performance would be assessed and vesting determined after the Issuer finalized financial results for 2018, which was expected to be on or about February 6, 2019. RSUs that did not vest in accordance with the foregoing would be forfeited.
