Explanation of Responses: |
1. The price shown is the weighted average price at which shares were sold in multiple sales transactions made pursuant to a single market order. The range of prices for the transactions made was $54.30 to $54.42. Upon request by SEC staff, the issuer or a security holder of the issuer, the reporting person will provide full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price. |
2. The balance includes 10,759 restricted shares that have not vested. |
3. The shares disposed of were held in the IRA account of the spouse of the reporting person and had been erroneously reported in previously filed Form 4's as 400 shares rather than the actual number of 425 shares. |
4. On February 7, 2011, reporting person received a grant of 3,190 shares under the Amended and Restated Post Properties, Inc. 2003 Incentive Stock Plan ("Plan"). The grant has fully vested. The terms of the grant provided the reporting person with a choice to treat the grant as options having an exercise price of $37.04 or as a stock appreciation right ("SAR"). The reporting person choose to treat 3,190 shares as an SAR on the exercise date. Thus, the computation of the 1,032 shares received was determined as follows: difference between the $54.76 fair market value on the date of exercise and the $37.04 exercise price ($17.72) times 3,190, then dividing that amount by the $54.76 fair market value. |
5. On January 25, 2012, reporting person received a grant of 2,970 shares under the Amended and Restated Post Properties, Inc. 2003 Incentive Stock Plan ("Plan"). The grant has fully vested. The terms of the grant provided the reporting person with a choice to treat the grant as options having an exercise price of $44.05 or as a stock appreciation right ("SAR"). The reporting person choose to treat 1,980 shares as an SAR on the exercise date. Thus, the computation of the 387 shares received was determined as follows: difference between the $54.76 fair market value on the date of exercise and the $44.05 exercise price ($10.71) times 1,980, then dividing that amount by the $54.76 fair market value. |
6. Option/SAR fully vested. |
7. Of the 2,970 Option/SAR granted on 01/25/2012, one third vested on 01/25/2013, one third vested on 01/25/2014 and remainder will vest on 01/25/2015. |
