Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )On March 3, 2014, the Issuer distributed Class C ordinary shares as a dividend at the rate of one Class C ordinary share for each ordinary share outstanding as of February 14, 2014. As a result, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the applicable incentive plan of the Issuer, a Class C option previously reported as an option for 20,000 shares at an exercise price of $21.98 per share was adjusted to reflect the dividend.
( 2 )On March 3, 2014, the Issuer distributed Class C ordinary shares as a dividend at the rate of one Class C ordinary share for each ordinary share outstanding as of February 14, 2014. As a result, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the applicable incentive plan of the Issuer, a Class A option was adjusted for the dividend by allocating the exercise price of the original Class A option between an option based on Class A ordinary shares and an option based on Class C ordinary shares.
( 3 )On March 3, 2014, the Issuer distributed Class C ordinary shares as a dividend at the rate of one Class C ordinary share for each ordinary share outstanding as of February 14, 2014. As a result, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the applicable incentive plan of the Issuer, a Class C option previously reported as an option for 20,000 shares at an exercise price of $21.58 per share was adjusted to reflect the dividend.
