Mr. Dibble’s unvested equity awards that were subject only to time-based vesting requirements, and otherwise scheduled to vest on or before July 31, 2014 were accelerated and became vested;

 

   

The 30,545 shares covered by Mr. Dibble’s performance-based restricted stock units granted in February 2011 were accelerated and became vested;

 

   

Mr. Dibble will be vested in 7/12th of any performance-based restricted stock units granted to him in February 2013 that are credited in February 2014 (based on achievement of the applicable performance goals); and

 

   

All of Mr. Dibble’s other unvested equity awards granted by the Company were terminated, without being vested, effective upon his change in position.
