On August 5, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Global Power Equipment Group Inc. granted restricted share units with an initial cash value of $382,202. Pursuant to the terms of the grant, the initial cash value of the award would be converted to a right to receive shares of Global Power Equipment Group's common stock, par value $0.01, after the Company completed the filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2015 and prior years being restated (the "Form 10-K").

Global Power Equipment Group Inc. filed the Form 10-K on March 15, 2017, and the number of units awarded was determined on April 17, 2017.
