Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Represents shares of Exelixis, Inc. common stock issued to the Reporting Person upon vesting of restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of Exelixis, Inc. common stock.
( 2 )On September 10, 2018, the Reporting Person was granted a performance-based restricted stock unit ("PSU") award under the Exelixis, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan covering 9,745 shares of common stock (such award, the "2018 Award"). The 2018 Award generally vests as follows: (i) 50% of the original number of shares subject to the 2018 Award vest upon certification by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") that Exelixis has achieved certain performance criteria related to clinical trial enrollment or positive top-line results (the "2018 Goal"); and (ii) 50% of the original number of shares subject to the 2018 Award will vest on the first quarterly PSU vesting date (i.e. February 15th, May 15th, August 15th and November 15th) following the one-year anniversary of the Committee's certification.
( 3 )On February 3, 2021, the Committee convened to determine that the 2018 Goal had been achieved, resulting in the immediate vesting of 50% of the 2018 Award, and the remaining 50% will vest on February 15, 2022, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service through that date
( 4 )Includes 122,283 shares of Exelixis, Inc. common stock that will be issued to the Reporting Person upon vesting of restricted stock units.
( 5 )On September 20, 2019, the Reporting Person was granted a PSU award the under 2017 Equity Incentive Plan covering 118,821 shares of common stock (such award, the "2019 Award," and such shares, the "Target Shares"). The 2019 Award generally vests as follows: (i) 50% of the Target Shares vest upon the Committee's certification of achievement certain performance criteria as certified by Committee; and (ii) 50% of the Target Shares vest on the first quarterly PSU vesting date (i.e. February 15th, May 15th, August 15th and November 15th) following the one-year anniversary of the Committee's certification. In addition, the 2019 Award provides for vesting of up to a maximum of 200% of the Target Shares depending on the timing and level of achievement of the performance criteria provided for under the 2019 Award.
( 6 )On February 3, 2021, the Committee determined the maximum performance criteria had been achieved, resulting in the Reporting Person's eligibility to vest up to 200% of the Target Shares subject to the 2019 Award. Accordingly, the Committee's certification resulted in the immediate vesting of 25% of the Target Shares, and the remaining 25% of the Target Shares will vest on February 15, 2022, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service through that date.
( 7 )Includes 151,989 shares of Exelixis, Inc. common stock that will be issued to the Reporting Person upon vesting of restricted stock units.
