Shares automatically withheld for payment of tax withholding liability in connection with vesting of the restricted stock units pursuant to terms of the restricted stock unit agreement. Each restricted stock unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive one share of Brocade common stock. The restricted stock units were granted upon achievement of certain performance objectives pursuant to the performance-based restricted stock units granted December 9, 2013 under Brocade's 2009 Stock Plan. The performance period for the restricted stock units was October 27, 2013 until October 31, 2015, with vesting subject to approval of the performance calculation by Brocade's Compensation Committee. This approval was obtained on November 16, 2015.
