Explanation of Responses:
1. On February 15, 2013, 3,267 restricted stock units previously granted to the Reporting Person vested. In this regard, the Reporting Person received 2,058 shares of AOL Inc. common stock ("shares") and 1,209 shares were withheld automatically in accordance with the reporting person's Restricted Stock Units Agreement with AOL Inc. in order to satisfy the tax liability that arose upon vesting of the restricted stock units. The 9,783 restricted stock units previously reported on the Form 3 filed on October 3, 2012 vest as follows rather than as previously reported: This award of restricted stock units will vest over three years such that one third of the restricted stock units will vest on February 15, 2013, and the remaining two thirds will vest in two equal installments on February 15, 2014 and February 15, 2015.
2. Reflects the closing price of the shares on February 15, 2013.
3. Represents restricted stock units granted pursuant to the AOL Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). This award of restricted stock units will vest over four years such that one half of the restricted stock units will vest on February 15, 2015, and the remaining one half will vest in two equal installments on February 15, 2016 and February 15, 2017. This award of restricted stock units will be paid in stock to the Reporting Person within sixty days of vesting.
4. Represents stock options granted pursuant to the Plan.
5. The option becomes exercisable over a four-year period subject to the Reporting Person's continuous employment on each vesting date. Subject to the Reporting Person's continuous employment on each vesting date, one quarter of the shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable on February 15, 2014 and the remaining shares subject to the option will vest and become exercisable on a pro rated monthly basis for the next 36 months.
6. Represents performance rights granted pursuant to the Plan.
7. Each performance right represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of AOL Inc. (the "Company"). The vesting of the performance rights is based on the relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") of the Company as compared to the TSR of each of the companies in the Company's peer group over the period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2015 (the "Performance Period") and subject to the Reporting Person's continuous employment through the vesting date. Performance rights granted represents the target shares and actual performance rights earned could be anywhere from 0 to 200% of the number of performance rights granted. The performance rights expire upon payout, if any, of the award.
