(2) These shares are owned directly by The Harvey Superannuation Fund, a retirement fund of which the reporting person is a beneficiary.
(3) Each RSU is the economic equivalent of one share of S&W Seed Company common stock. The closing price of SANW on December 30, 2016 (the last trading day before the January 1, 2017 vesting date, which fell on a weekend) was $4.60.
(4) On July 15, 2015, the reporting person was granted 10,000 RSUs, of which 772 vested on January 1, 2017. The common stock into which such vested RSUs converted on January 1, 2017 is reported on Table I of this Form 4. The remaining unvested RSUs will continue to vest in quarterly installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter through and including July 1, 2018, subject to the reporting person's continued service with the Issuer on each respective vesting date.
