  • [F1]The two reported transactions reflect the amendment, dated as of January 18, 2011, to Mr. Cohen's restricted stock award agreement dated March 15, 2008, and are treated for purposes of this Statement as the deemed cancellation of the "old" shares of restricted stock and the deemed grant of "new" shares of restricted stock. With respect to the 1,750,000 shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. Cohen on March 15, 2008, 250,000 shares will continue to generally vest based on a double trigger that includes achievement of both service and performance criteria (each, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting dates). The remaining 1,500,000 restricted shares will be subject only to time vesting. (Continued in Footnote 2)
  • [F2]Prior to the amendment, the performance criteria applied to all 1,750,000 shares and were as follows: 413,666 shares, would have been eligible to vest upon WMG achieving an average closing stock price of at least $10.00 per share over 60 consecutive trading days; 413,667 shares, would have been eligible to vest upon WMG achieving an average closing stock price of at least $13.00 per share over 60 consecutive trading days; 413,667 shares, would have been eligible to vest upon WMG achieving an average closing stock price of at least $17.00 per share over 60 consecutive trading days; and 509,000 shares, would have been eligible to vest upon WMG achieving an average closing stock price of at least $20.00 per share over 60 consecutive trading days. (Continued in Footnote 3)
  • [F3]After the amendment, the performance criteria apply only to 250,000 of Mr. Cohen's 1,750,000 shares of restricted stock and such performance criteria have been revised as follows: 125,000 shares, vesting upon WMG achieving an average closing stock price of at least $7.00 per share over 60 consecutive trading days; and 125,000 shares, vesting upon WMG achieving an average closing stock price of at least $8.00 per share over 60 consecutive trading days. (Continued in Footnote 4)
  • [F4]The time vesting criteria for the 250,000 shares of restricted stock still subject to performance criteria remain the same as applicable since the original grant date -20% a year for five years. Accordingly, the time vesting criteria for 20% of these restricted shares were achieved on March 14, 2009 and, for an additional 20% of these restricted shares on March 14, 2010 and, with respect to the remaining 60% of these restricted shares, the time vesting criteria will be satisfied in 20% installments on each of March 14, 2011, March 14, 2012 and March 14, 2013, respectively, subject to Mr. Cohen's continued employment through such dates. (Continued in Footnote 5)
  • [F5]The remaining 1,500,000 shares of restricted stock will no longer be subject to any performance vesting criteria, but will continue to be subject to time vesting criteria (to the extent not yet vested) as follows: 1,250,000 shares will be subject to the same time vesting criteria as applicable since the original grant date -20% a year for five years (subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting dates). Therefore, since the time vesting criteria for 20% of these restricted shares were achieved on March 14, 2009 and for an additional 20% of these restricted shares on March 14, 2010, 500,000 of these shares are now fully vested. (Continued in Footnote 6)
  • [F6]With respect to the remaining 750,000 shares covered by this tranche, 250,000 shares will vest on each of March 14, 2011, March 14, 2012 and March 14, 2013, respectively, subject to Mr. Cohen's continued employment through such dates; and 250,000 shares will vest 100% on March 1, 2014, subject to Mr. Cohen's continued employment through such date.
