Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents the actual number of restricted stock units earned from the performance-based restricted stock units ("PBRSUs") awarded on May 30, 2012, pursuant to the Company's 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The awards earned were based on the Company's Return on Invested Capital over a two-year period ending January 31, 2014. The restricted stock units vest as follows: 50% on May 30, 2014, 25% on May 30, 2015 and 25% on May 30, 2016.
2. Amount does not include PBRSUs granted to the reporting person on June 3, 2013 and May 27, 2014, as performance awards not tied to stock price are not derivative securities for purposes of Section 16 under guidance from the staff of the SEC. The number of PBRSUs that the reporting person will receive will be determined at the end of the two-year performance period ending January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2016, respectively, and will be determined based on the Company's Return on Invested Capital.
3. Represents shares withheld to pay withholding taxes due upon vesting of PBRSUs awarded on May 30, 2012.
4. Price based on closing price of Conn's, Inc. Common Stock on date of vesting.
5. Represents shares withheld to pay withholding taxes due upon vesting of time-based restricted stock units awarded on May 30, 2012.
6. Represents shares withheld to pay withholding taxes due upon vesting of time-based restricted stock units awarded on June 3, 2013.
