F1 Each restricted stock unit ("RSU") represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of common stock.
F2 This transaction represents the settlement of RSUs in shares of common stock on their scheduled vesting date.
F3 Shares withheld by Apple to satisfy tax withholding requirements on vesting of RSUs. No shares were sold.
F4 This award was granted on September 26, 2021, for a target number of 68,065 RSUs. The award vested on October 1, 2024, applying a percentage of the target number of RSUs that was determined based on Apple's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the other companies in the S&P 500 from the first day of Apple's fiscal year 2022 and ending with the last day of Apple's fiscal year 2024.
F5 TSR is calculated based on the change in a company's stock price during the performance period, taking into account any dividends paid during that period, which are assumed to be reinvested in the stock. In accordance with the terms of the award, the beginning value used for calculating TSR is the average closing stock price for the first 20 trading days of the performance period. Apple's beginning value was calculated to be $143.96. Similarly, the ending value used for calculating TSR is the average closing price for the final 20 trading days of the performance period. Apple's ending value was calculated to be $227.29.
F6 This award provided that if Apple's relative TSR performance was ranked at or above the 85th percentile for companies in the S&P 500 for the performance period, 200% of the target number of RSUs vest. If Apple's performance was ranked at or above the 55th percentile, 100% of the target number of RSUs vest. If Apple's performance was ranked at or above the 25th percentile, 25% of the target number of RSUs vest, and if Apple's performance was ranked below the 25th percentile, 0% of the target number of RSUs vest. If Apple's performance was between these levels, the portion of the RSUs that vest would be determined on a straight-line basis (i.e., linearly interpolated) between the two nearest vesting percentages.
F7 Apple's TSR for the three-year performance period was 57.88%, which ranked 92 of the 485 companies that were included in the S&P 500 for the performance period and placed Apple in the 81.20th percentile. Therefore, 127,282 RSUs subject to performance requirements vested.
