Explanation of Responses: |
1. Represents a grant of restricted stock units under the Yahoo! Inc. ("Company") 1995 Stock Plan. Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right to receive, upon vesting of the unit, one share of Yahoo! Inc. common stock. Subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, one-fourth (1/4) of the restricted stock units are scheduled to vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, with the remainder vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter, as long as the reporting person remains in the service of Yahoo through the respective vesting date. |
2. Represents a grant of performance-based restricted stock units under the Yahoo! Inc. 1995 Stock Plan. The target number of units is presented in the table. Subject to certain continued employment conditions and subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, one-fourth (1/4) of the target number of units are scheduled to vest annually, following each of the 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 annual performance periods. Each year, the number of units that actually vest will be 0% to 200% of the scheduled amount, depending on the extent to which Yahoo! Inc. meets or exceeds certain financial performance goals. The maximum number of units that may vest over four years is 77,982 (200% of the target number). Vested restricted stock units will be paid in an equal number of shares of Yahoo! Inc. common stock. |
3. Represents the forfeiture of performance-based restricted stock units granted to the reporting person on February 28, 2013 that were eligible to vest based on certain financial performance objectives. Upon grant, the target vesting amount was reported in Table I of Form 4. On February 27, 2014, the Company determined that, based on the Company's performance over the applicable performance period, 20,848 stock units would vest and 15,729 stock units would be forfeited. |
