(1) Acquired pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between Complete Production Services, Inc. ("Complete"), the Issuer and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer in exchange for shares of Complete common stock. With the exception of 29,000 shares of Complete restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person on January 31, 2012, each share of Complete common stock held by the Reporting Person at the effective time of the merger was converted into 0.945 shares of Issuer common stock plus $7.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Superior common stock.
(2) Includes 34,798 shares of Issuer restricted stock which vest in three equal annual installments commencing on January 31, 2013, subject to continued service with the Issuer. Such shares of Issuer restricted stock were acquired in exchange for the 29,000 shares of Complete restricted stock based on the stock award exchange ratio of 1.199916 established in the Merger Agreement.
(3) Acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement in exchange for options to purchase shares of Complete common stock. Each option to purchase a share of Complete common stock was converted into an option to purchase 1.99916 shares of Issuer common stock, rounded down to the nearest share. The exercise price of the Issuer options is equal to the exercise price of the corresponding Complete options, divided by 1.199916, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
(4) Represents options that became fully vested and exercisable at the effective time of the merger.
(5) The option vests in three equal annual installments, commencing on the date indicated.
