Explanation of Responses:
1. Shares acquired through the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan on 31 May 2013
2. The transactions reported on this Form 4 reflect an amendment to outstanding options. The Company modified its outstanding stock option awards by reducing the exercise price by $9 per option. For certain options that cannot be reduced by the full $9, Advent compensated those option holders with a cash payment for the difference between $9 and the reduction of their exercise price. No other change to original terms of grant, no market activity.
