(1) Mr. Cheng was awarded 100,000 shares of restricted common stock which will vest over a four (4) year period. 25% of the total shares shall vest annually starting on January 31, 2012, subject to Mr. Cheng's continuing service to the Company through each applicable vesting date.
(2) In connection with the reorganization of the corporate structure of the group of companies controlled by UTStarcom, Inc. to change its place of incorporation from Delaware to the Cayman Islands, each outstanding share of UTStarcom, Inc. common stock was converted into the right to receive the same number of ordinary shares in the capital of UTStarcom Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands company. In addition, all outstanding equity awards of UTStarcom, Inc. were assumed by UTStarcom Holdings Corp. to provide for the issuance of UTStarcom Holdings Corp. ordinary shares rather than UTStarcom, Inc. common stock upon the exercise or conversion of such awards.
(3) Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of UTStarcom, Inc. common stock.
(4) Restricted stock units vest as follows: First 25% vested on 5/31/2011 and 25% will vest annually thereafter.
