Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )RSUs awarded pursuant to the fulfillment of performance share units awarded on March 4, 2014. RSUs will vest on February 25, 2017, and upon vesting, will be payable in Company stock (each RSU representing one share of Company stock). Additional terms apply in the event of the holder's termination, death or retirement.
( 2 )This price represents the average sale price for multiple transactions on this line. The prices of the transactions reported on this line ranged from $90.0401 to $90.13. Upon request by the SEC staff, the Issuer or a security holder of the Issuer, the Reporting Person will undertake to provide full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which transactions were effected.
( 3 )The Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) were issued at the closing price of the Company's stock on February 25, 2015 ($89.23). They will vest in equal amounts over three years and will expire ten years after the grant date. Upon exercise, the holder will receive in Belden stock the excess of fair market value per share at the time of exercise over the exercise price, times the number of SARs being exercised (after tax withholding, if applicable). Additional terms apply in the event of the holder's termination, death, disability or retirement.
