(1) Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents a conditional right to receive one share of common stock of the issuer. Dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs ("Additional RSUs") accrue with respect to RSUs (and any Additional RSUs previously accrued) when dividends are paid on shares of common stock of the issuer.
(2) The RSUs and Additional RSUs vest in equal increments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant and convert into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the issuer. Upon vesting, all fractional shares underlying the vesting tranche of RSUs and Additional RSUs are cancelled.
(3) On January 26, 2016, the reporting person received a grant of RSUs pursuant to the Hexcel Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). As previously reported, (i) as of the date the grantee became a reporting person, 591.82 RSUs and Additional RSUs from such grant remained unvested, (ii) on January 26, 2018, 296 RSUs and Additional RSUs vested, leaving 295.42 RSUs and Additional RSUs unvested and (iii) following January 26, 2018, the reporting person received aggregate dividend equivalents in the form of 1.09 Additional RSUs. On August 10, 2018, the reporting person received dividend equivalents in the form of 0.64 Additional RSUs, based on the $68.63 market price per underlying share on the dividend payment date.
(4) On January 30, 2017, the reporting person received a grant pursuant to the 2013 Plan. As previously reported, (i) as of the date the grantee became a reporting person, 800.25 RSUs and Additional RSUs were unvested, (ii) on January 30, 2018, 267 RSUs and Additional RSUs vested, leaving 532.51 RSUs and Additional RSUs unvested and (iii) following January 30, 2018, the reporting person received aggregate dividend equivalents in the form of 1.96 Additional RSUs. On August 10, 2018, the reporting person received dividend equivalents in the form of 1.16 Additional RSUs, based on the $68.63 market price per underlying share on the dividend payment date.
(5) As previously reported, (i) on January 29, 2018, the reporting person was granted 702 RSUs pursuant to the 2013 Plan and (ii) following January 29, 2018, the reporting person received aggregate dividend equivalents in the form of 1.26 Additional RSUs. On August 10, 2018, the reporting person received dividend equivalents in the form of 1.53 Additional RSUs, based on the $68.63 market price per underlying share on the dividend payment date.
