    <remarks>Each performance restricted stock unit (&quot;RSU&quot;) represents a contingent right to receive one share of Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) voting common stock. The two reported transactions involve a modification of the terms of the RSUs to lengthen the vesting schedule from seven years to ten years and change the amount of RSUs that vest at various target stock prices. This modification results in the deemed cancellation of the original RSUs and the grant of replacement RSUs. The RSUs were originally granted on August 10, 2018. Under the terms of the original awards, a portion of the RSUs were scheduled to vest if the Company's voting common stock attained various closing prices for at least twenty consecutive trading days at any time prior to August 10, 2025, in accordance with the following: 2.5% of the RSUs were to vest upon the attainment of closing stock prices of $35.00 per share, $40.00 per share, $45.00 per share, and $50.00 per share, and 90% of the RSUs were to vest upon the attainment of a closing stock price of $55.00 per share. As modified, a portion of the RSUs will vest if the Company's voting common stock attains various closing prices for at least twenty consecutive trading days at any time prior to August 10, 2028, in accordance with the following: 20% of the RSUs will vest upon the attainment of closing stock prices of $35.00 per share, $40.00 per share, $45.00 per share, $50.00 per share, and $55.00 per share.</remarks>
