Explanation of Responses: |
1. Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of AZZ common stock. |
2. The RSUs are granted under AZZ's 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") and vest over a three year period with 1/3rd of the RSUs vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. |
3. Each Performance Share Unit ("PSU") represents a contingent right to receive shares of AZZ common stock with the actual number varying based on achieved results. The number of PSUs reported reflects the target award amount. |
4. The PSUs are issued under AZZ's 2014 Plan. The PSUs will vest and become payable, if at all, on the third anniversary from the date of grant, ranging from 0% to 200% based on AZZ achieving a 8.5% target average adjusted return on assets from March 1, 2015 to February 28, 2018. Actual payout will be subject to a multiplier up to a maximum of 250% of the target award if AZZ's total shareholder return for the three year period ranks within the top quartile relative to each company in a custom industry peer group for the same period. |
