Accordingly, the exercise of one results in the expiration of the other. The stock appreciation rights vest 1/3 per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date provided the reporting person is still employed on those dates, subject to earlier vesting in certain events. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of GPC common stock at a future date. The restricted stock units will be earned on December 31, 2012 provided certain pre-tax profit targets are achieved by GPC for fiscal year 2012. If earned, the units will vest and convert to shares of common stock on December 1, 2016 provided the reporting person is still employed on that date, subject to earlier vesting in certain events.
