(1) | Shares granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, dated 11/15/08. 150,000 of the shares represent "Bonus Shares". Shares generally vest based on a double trigger that includes service and performance criteria, subject to a further vesting criteria for the Bonus Shares. The time vesting criteria is in increments of 20% each year for the first five grant date anniversaries. The performance criteria requires achievement of an average closing stock price over 60 consecutive trading days as follows: 105,500 shares (35,500 Bonus Shares), at $10 per share; 105,500 shares (35,500 Bonus Shares), at $13 per share; 105,500 shares (35,500 Bonus Shares), at $17 per share; and 130,500 shares (43,500 Bonus Shares), at least $20 per share. Even if all conditions above have been met, the Bonus Shares won't vest if the Compensation Committee determines within 45 days after the vesting date in its sole discretion that such equity will not vest. |
(2) | Total reflects 0.644 fractional shares cancelled upon vesting of previously awarded restricted stock. |
(3) | This option becomes exercisable in increments of 20% on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant, November 15, 2008. For 150,000 of the stock options (the "Bonus Options"), there is an additional performance vesting criteria. Notwithstanding whether all of the time vesting conditions described above have been met, the Bonus Options may not vest if the Compensation Committee of Warner Music Group Corp. determines within 45 days following the scheduled vesting date in its sole discretion that such option will not be permitted to vest and become exercisable on such scheduled vesting date. |
