The issuer's common stock trades on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under the symbol referenced in the issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-192900).
Each restricted stock unit (RSU) represents a contingent right to receive (1) share of the issuer's common stock upon settlement. This transaction represents the settlement of RSUs in shares of common stock on their scheduled vesting date.
The reported shares were withheld to cover the reporting person's tax liability in connection with the vesting of RSUs. These shares were not sold by the reporting person.
On August 17, 2015, the reporting person was granted 127,847 RSUs, four year vesting period, with 25% of the RSUs vesting on August 17, 2016, and the remainder vesting thereafter on a monthly pro-rata basis, such that 100% of the RSUs are vested on August 17, 2019, subject to the reporting person's continuing employment through the applicable vesting date.
