(1) Common stock acquired upon vesting of 1,343 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") granted on January 28, 2016 and 208 RSUs granted on April 28, 2016.
(2) Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of HomeStreet common stock.
(3) On January 26, 2017, the reporting person was granted 3,516 RSUs, which vest incrementally in equal amounts on January 26, 2018, January 26, 2019 and January 26, 2020, respectively. In the event of a change in control, all unvested RSUs may vest immediately under certain circumstances. Upon vesting, the reporting person will receive a number of shares of HomeStreet common stock equal to the number of RSUs that have vested.
(4) The number of performance share units ("PSUs") represents the maximum number of shares of HomeStreet common stock to which the reporting person will be entitled. The target number of shares associated with the grant is 3,516 shares of common stock. Each PSU represents one share of common stock and will vest depending on the achievement of certain specified performance criteria including the return on average equity for each of HomeStreet's 12 fiscal quarters completed from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019.
(5) The PSUs are scheduled to vest in the first quarter of 2020 when the HomeStreet, Inc.

In the event of a change in control, all outstanding PSUs may vest under certain circumstances at the target award level on the effective date of the change in control.
(6) On January 28, 2016 the reporting person was granted 4,029 RSUs, and on April 28, 2016 the reporting person was granted 624 RSUs, all of which vest incrementally in equal amounts on January 28, 2017, January 28, 2018 and January 28, 2019, respectively. In the event of a change in control, all unvested RSUs may vest immediately under certain circumstances. Upon vesting, the reporting person will receive a number of shares of HomeStreet common stock equal to the number of RSUs that have vested.
(7) The reporting person's remaining RSUs also include 2,686 RSUs granted on January 28, 2016, which vest incrementally in equal amounts on January 28, 2018 and January 28, 2019, respectively, and 416 RSUs granted on April 28, 2016, which vest incrementally in equal amounts on January 28, 2018 and January 28, 2019, respectively.
