(2) A total of 33,400 shares of Restricted Stock (Class A Shares) of the Issuer were awarded on August 5, 2013, following achievement of the Company's EVAR stock price targets ($20 per share and $22.75 per share) in accordance with the Company's existing EVARs Plan. These shares of Restricted Stock will vest on December 31, 2013, subject to the Reporting Person's continued employment.
(3) A total of 129,310 Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") were granted February 12, 2009, all of which are vested as of January 20, 2012, and all such SARs expire on February 12, 2014. These SARs may be settled in cash or stock, at the discretion of the Issuer.
(4) These Extraordinary Equity Value Appreciation Restricted Stock Awards ("EVARs") granted under the Issuer's EVARs program (previously disclosed by the Issuer on Form 8-K dated January 26, 2011) represent the right to receive shares of Restricted Stock on a one-to-one basis upon the Issuer's achievement of remaining stock price target equal to $26.25 (15,000 EVARs), as described in greater detail in the EVAR Letter Agreement. The current net number of EVARS held by the Reporting Person (15,000) reflect the grant of Restricted Stock to the reporting person on August 5, 2013 upon achievement of the Company's EVAR stock price targets ($20/share and $22.75/share).
