The number of shares shown is the target amount. The actual number of shares that may vest ranges from 0% to 150% of the target amount, depending on achievement of specified performance goals.
2. Number of shares includes 256,250 performance shares previously reported that in the future will be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Applied common stock upon vesting, which vesting is scheduled to occur as follows: (a) 106,250 shares are scheduled to vest in December 2015; and (b) provided specified performance goals are achieved, 150,000 shares will be scheduled to vest as to 50% of the shares in December 2014 and as to 25% of the shares in each December of 2015 and 2016, which number of shares is the target amount, and the actual number of shares that may vest ranges from 0% to 150% of the target amount, depending on the achievement of specified performance goals (all vesting is subject to continued employment through each applicable vest date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, vesting of shares that is scheduled to occur in calendar year 2014 (as well as in calendar year 2015, subject to Mr. Larkins' consent) will accelerate as of the date that is three trading days prior to the expected date of consummation of the transactions contemplated in connection with the business combination agreement, dated September 24, 2013, between Applied and Tokyo Electron Limited, as amended (subject to Mr. Larkins' continued employment and being a "disqualified individual" under IRS Code Section 4985 through the accelerated vest date).
