Explanation of Responses: |
1. Represents the conversion upon vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") into common stock. On March 16, 2013, the reporting person was granted 100,000 RSUs that were previously reported on Table II of Form 4, and which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2013. |
2. The reporting person is reporting the withholding by S&W Seed Company of 2,448 shares of common stock that vested on April 1, 2014, but which were not issued in order to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligations in connection with the delivery of the converted common stock to the reporting person as of April 1, 2014. |
3. Each RSU is the economic equivalent of one share of S&W Seed Company common stock. |
4. On March 16, 2013, the reporting person was granted 100,000 RSUs, of which 4,722 vested on April 1, 2014. The common stock into which such vested RSUs converted on April 1, 2014 is reported on Table I of this Form 4. The remaining unvested RSUs will continue to vest in 13 additional quarterly installments of 4,722 RSUs on the first day of each fiscal quarter and a final quarterly installment will vest an aggregate of 4,726 RSUs on October 1, 2017, subject to the reporting person's continued service with the Company through the vesting date. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person on the settlement date unless the Company elects to settle the RSUs in cash or a combination of shares and cash, at the Company's discretion. |
