(1) On May 7, 2011, an amendment (the "Amendment") became effective to a previously reported pre-paid variable delivery forward contract, dated May 5, 2009, between PacificInfo Limited ("PacificInfo"), which is wholly-owned by Edward Tian, and Credit Suisse Capital LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (collectively referred to as "CSSU"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the number of shares PacificInfo must deliver on May 7, 2012 (the "Maturity Date") to CSSU was amended as follows: (i) the maximum number of shares to be delivered is 741,689 shares, minus 54,064 "Settlement Shares", or, (ii) at the option of PacificInfo, the cash equivalent of such shares. As compensation for the Amendment, PacificInfo agreed to pay CSSU or its agent the amount of shares equal to the Settlement Shares. (Continued in footnote 2)
(2) In addition, the formula for determining the exact number of shares PacificInfo must deliver was revised such that the "Forward Floor Price" is $17.2660, the "Forward Cap Price" is $24.9397, and the averaging dates are the 15 consecutive scheduled trading days starting on April 16, 2012.
(3) 6,750 restricted stock units were granted on January 13, 2009. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. The restricted stock units vest in four equal annual installments beginning January 13, 2010.
(4) Obligation to sell common stock.
(5) 2,937 restricted stock units were granted on July 15, 2010. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. The restricted stock units vest in four equal annual installments beginning July 15, 2011.
