Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Shares vested pursuant to a share price performance restricted share unit award (the "Performance RSU") granted pursuant to the Avago Technologies Limited 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan ("2009 Avago Plan") on March 15, 2015. The Performance RSU is scheduled to vest over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant, such that the Performance RSU will be fully vested on March 15, 2019, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service through such date; and provided, however, that no portion of the Performance RSU may vest unless the average of the closing prices of the Issuer's ordinary shares (as reported on the stock exchange on which the shares are listed), over a twenty consecutive trading day period is equal to or greater than 120% of the fair market value of the Issuer's ordinary shares on the date of grant (the "Price Contingency"). On April 1, 2016, the Price Contingency was met, and on March 15, 2018, the third 25% of the Performance RSU vested.
( 2 )Each Performance RSU represents the right to receive, at settlement, one ordinary share of the Issuer. This transaction represents the settlement of the Performance RSU in the Issuer's ordinary shares on the scheduled vesting date.
( 3 )Includes 29,750 Restricted Share Units and 39 shares acquired under the Issuer's Employee Stock Purchase Plan on March 14, 2018.
( 4 )Performance RSU granted pursuant to the 2009 Avago Plan on March 15, 2016. The Performance RSU is scheduled to vest over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant, such that the Performance RSU will be fully vested on March 15, 2020, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service through such date; and provided, however, that no portion of the Performance RSU may vest unless the Price Contingency has been met. On January 5, 2017, the Price Contingency was met, and on March 15, 2018, the second 25% of the Performance RSU vested.
( 5 )On March 15, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Issuer determined that the number of ordinary shares vested for the first of four performance periods pursuant to a performance share unit award granted on March 15, 2017 under the 2009 Avago Plan upon the attainment of certain performance criteria based on the Issuer's compound annual total shareholder return relative to the S&P 500 Index.
