2. Pursuant to the Company's Equity Grant and Settlement Policy, vested shares will not be delivered to the reporting person until the Company's trading window opens.
3. RSUs convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, there was no purchase price paid by the reporting person.
4. On September 15, 2020, 5,030 RSUs vested. The Company retained 2,213 shares on that date to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting.
5. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon vesting in accordance with the terms of the reporting person's restricted stock unit agreement.
6. This RSU award was granted on September 15, 2016 and vests in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. This Form 4 reflects the vesting of this RSU on September 15, 2020 as to 100% of the original grant amount.
7. This RSU award was granted on September 15, 2017 and vests as follows: sixty percent (60%) on the first anniversary of the grant date and an additional thirteen and 33/100 percent (13.33%) on each succeeding anniversary of the grant date so as to be expired with regard to all restricted stock units on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.
Remarks:
Effective August 31, 2020, the issuer liquidated the United Natural Foods, Inc. 401(k) Plan's UNFI Stock Fund. Accordingly, the reporting person no longer holds shares through his 401k.
