(1)           Restricted stock unit grants are made pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest in three equal annual increments. Figures shown are the number of units/shares.

(2)           The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Patrick M. Byrne, declined to accept any bonus payment relating to 2013.


The bonus pool plan (the “2014 Bonus Plan”) is a Company-wide discretionary bonus pool plan, subject to adjustment, upward or downward, by the Compensation Committee after 2014 results are available. The total bonus pool under the 2014 Bonus Plan is expected to be an amount equal to 20% of the amount, if any, by which a “Measurement Amount” to be calculated under the 2014 Bonus Plan exceeds $32.2 million, with individual bonuses to be paid to all eligible employees as of December 31, 2014 pro rata to the amount of each employee’s salary earned in 2014. For purposes of the 2014 Bonus Plan, the term “Measurement Amount” means net income adjusted for income taxes, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expenses, 2014 bonuses, capital structure expenses, expenses incurred in connection with certain legal matters, certain development project expenses, international general and administrative expenses, certain anticipated tax credits, and other miscellaneous expenses. Although the amount of any bonus that may be payable to the Officers named above cannot be calculated at present, the Company estimates that the bonuses may be in the range of approximately $8,000 to approximately $16,000.

Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K, including all statements other than statements of historical fact, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” In addition to the uncertainty of all forward-looking information, there are specific risks identified in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on October 24, 2013 that the Company faces that could cause actual results to be materially different from those that may be set forth in forward-looking statements made by the Company. There also may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that it currently believes are immaterial which could also impair its business and results of operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
