During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 663,960 shares of restricted common stock were granted to select officers under the 2014 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan for Officers and Employees of Astoria Financial Corporation, or the 2014 Employee Stock Plan, of which 661,290 shares remain outstanding at June 30, 2016 and vest one-third per year beginning in December 2016.  In the event the grantee terminates his/her employment due to death or disability, or in the event we experience a change in control, as defined and specified in the 2014 Employee Stock Plan, all restricted common stock granted pursuant to such plan immediately vests.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, 21,912 shares of restricted common stock were granted to directors under the Astoria Financial Corporation 2007 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan, as amended, all of which remain outstanding at June 30, 2016 and vest 100% in February 2019, although awards immediately vest upon death, disability, mandatory retirement, involuntary termination or a change in control, as such terms are defined in the plan.
