Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )This stock option vests one-third on each of March 30, 2017, March 30, 2018 and March 30, 2019. ( 2 )Represents a grant of performance share units under the issuer's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of the issuer's common stock. ( 3 )Subject to certain continued employment requirements, vesting of these performance share units depends on the issuer's relative total shareholder return from January 1, 2016 through and including December 31, 2018. The amount reported represents the "target" number. The maximum number of units that may vest is 14,100 (200% of the target number). Between 0% and 200% of the target number of performance share units may vest on December 31, 2018, with the vesting percentage determined based on actual performance. ( 4 )Represents a grant of restricted stock units under the issuer's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Each performance share unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of the issuer's common stock. ( 5 )Subject to certain continued employment requirements, vesting of these restricted stock units depends on satisfying a minimum earnings per share metric for fiscal year 2016, and if such metric is satisfied, then the restricted stock units will vest one-third on each of March 30, 2017, March 30, 2018 and March 30, 2019.
