Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Represents restricted stock units. Of the restricted stock units, each of which represents the right to receive one share of common stock of Global Power Equipment Group Inc. (the "Company"), one-third will vest on March 31 of each of 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, subject to continued employment through the vesting date. ( 2 )Each performance-based restricted stock unit ("PRSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. The applicable performance goal will be satisfied if the Company's common stock achieves a per share market price of $5.00 or greater for any period of 30 consecutive trading days prior to June 30, 2021 (the "2018 performance goal"). The PRSUs generally vest in three equal installments on March 31 of each of 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively, provided that the 2018 performance goal has been met by such date (and, if not, through the date the 2018 performance goal is subsequently achieved), and are subject to continued employment through the vesting date. If the Company has not achieved the performance goal by June 30, 2021, all unvested PRSUs will be forfeited.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
