Explanation of Responses:
1. Disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 10, 2016 (the "Merger Agreement") among the Issuer, Westlake Chemical Corporation ("Westlake") and Lagoon Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Westlake ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer continuing as as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westlake.
2. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Issuer common stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive $33.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration"). The disposition was exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder.
3. Includes 3,474 shares underlying restricted share unit awards with respect to Issuer common stock which, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, was assumed by Westlake and converted into restricted share unit awards with respect to Westlake common stock (which are intended to be settled in cash to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable award agreement for the restricted share unit awards with respect to Issuer common stock), with the total number of shares of Westlake common stock underlying each such restricted share unit award determined by multiplying the number of shares underlying restricted share unit awards with respect to Issuer common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by an exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement and rounded to the nearest whole share.
