Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents the withholding of shares of Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding liability associated with the vesting of performance-based restricted stock awards from a previously reported grant, which were granted on July 8, 2015 and which vested on January 2, 2018.
2. Represents shares of restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person, which generally vest in four equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the Reporting Person's continued employment with Cable One, Inc. through each such date.
3. Relates to an inadvertent purchase by the Reporting Person's broker without the Reporting Person's knowledge or direction.
4. The Reporting Person's purchases of Common Stock reported herein were matchable under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Reporting Person's sale of 867 shares of Common Stock at a price of $736.35 on August 16, 2017. The Reporting Person has paid the issuer $239.22, representing the full amount of profit realized in connection with the short-swing transactions.
5. 1,387 shares are held by the John D. Laulis & Julia M. Laulis, a living trust, dated August 29, 2000.
6. The stock appreciation rights (SARs) generally vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the number of underlying shares covered by the grant on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the Reporting Person's continued employment with Cable One, Inc. through each such date. Each SAR represents the right, upon exercise, to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal in value to the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of Common Stock (as determined on the date of the exercise) exceeds the exercise price.
