(1) This represents restricted stock units, each representing the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. If, and only if, the Company's non-GAAP gross profit (as defined in the RSU award agreement) for 2012 is greater than or equal to $500 million, on March 15, 2013 the RSUs will immediately vest with respect to 20-sixtieths of the award (representing the twenty month-long vesting tranches between August 1, 2011 and March 1, 2013) and thereafter one-sixtieth of the award will vest on the first day of each month, with the exception of the final tranche, which will vest on June 30, 2016. This grant of RSUs is expressly conditioned upon the approval of certain amendments to the Company's 2008 Incentive Plan by the Company's stockholders.
(2) This represents performance shares, each representing the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. The number assumes maximum performance; target performance would result in a release of 2,061,006 shares of the Company's common stock. These awards vest in accordance with the award agreement between Mr. Kotick and the Company, dated as of March 15, 2012. Further, none of the performance shares for the performance period for 2011-2012 will vest unless the Company's non-GAAP gross profit (as defined in the performance share award agreement) for 2012 is greater than or equal to $500 million. This grant of performance shares is expressly conditioned upon the approval of certain amendments to the Company's 2008 Incentive Plan by the Company's stockholders.
(3) Following the transaction reported on this Form 4, Mr. Kotick directly held (a) 2,500,000 performance-based restricted shares of the Company's common stock, (b) 2,061,006 restricted stock units, each representing the right to receive a share of the Company's common stock, (c) 4,122,012 performance shares, each representing the right to receive a share of the Company's common stock, and (d) 406,823 shares of the Company's common stock.
