* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of common stock. This transaction represents the settlement of vested restricted stock units in shares of common stock.
(2) Shares withheld by Registrant to satisfy minimum statutory withholding requirements on vesting of restricted stock units.
(3) This award was granted on August 24, 2011, and was subsequently modified on June 21, 2013. Under the adopted modification, Mr. Cook will forfeit a portion of the award if Apple Inc. does not achieve certain performance criteria. As modified, assuming continued employment through the applicable vesting date and satisfaction of applicable performance-based criteria, the one million restricted stock units subject to the award vest as follows: 100,000 restricted stock units vest on August 24, 2016; 100,000 restricted stock units vest on August 24, 2021; the balance of 800,000 restricted stock units is separated into ten equal tranches of 80,000 restricted stock units each that vest over the ten-year life of the award. This transaction represents the settlement, pursuant to the terms of the modified award, of 80,000 restricted stock units that vested upon the modification of the award on June 21, 2013. Each remaining tranche of 80,000 restricted stock units vests annually commencing August 24, 2013, assuming continued employment through the applicable vesting date and, with respect to a portion of each tranche, satisfaction of applicable performance-based criteria.
