Explanation of Responses:
1. Each performance share is a restricted stock unit which represents a contingent right to receive one share of CMC common stock. The units vest upon CMC's common stock achieving a market price of either (i) $24 per share for twenty consecutive trading days prior to May 19, 2012, and total shareholder return at or above the 80th percentile of peer group for period ending with month of December, 2011 compared to December, 2008 or (ii) $30 per share for twenty consecutive trading days prior to May 19, 2012, and total shareholder return at or above the 50th percentile of peer group for period ending with month of December, 2011 compared to December, 2008.
2. Each performance share is a restricted stock unit representing a contingent right to receive one share of CMC common stock. The Units vest as follows: (i) 50% if the Company ranks at or greater than the 50th percentile but less than the 60th percentile on a Total Stockholder Return basis as compared to its Peer Group; and 100% if the Company ranks at or greater than the 60th percentile on a Total Stockholder Return basis as compared to its Peer Group. Vesting will be calculated on a straight line interpolation basis for a rank on a Total Stockholder Return basis as compared to its Peer Group between the 50th percentile (at a vesting percentage of 50%) and 60th percentile (with a vesting percentage of 100%). For the measurement periods mentioned above, the Total Stockholder Return will be based on the average of the closing prices on the principal market for each trading day for the month of June 2010 compared to the month of June 2013.
3. The restricted stock units vest over four years in two vest periods: 50% after 2 years and the remaining 50% after four years.
4. Stock Appreciation Rights issued under the 2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. Rights vest as to one-third after one year; one-third after two years and the remainder after the third year.
