F1 Represents restricted stock units awarded to the reporting person prior to the separation (the "Separation") of 2seventy bio, Inc. ("2seventy") from bluebird bio, Inc. ("bluebird"). In connection with the Separation, the restricted stock units underlying this award were adjusted pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement by and between 2seventy and bluebird (the "EMA") such that the reporting person received restricted stock units of 2seventy to preserve the value associated with the original restricted stock unit award (see footnotes 2 and 3). This restricted stock unit award was originally granted on February 1, 2018 and vests over a four-year period at a rate of 25% on 01/04/2019, 25% on 01/04/2020, 25% on 01/04/2021, and 25% on 01/04/2022.
F2 bluebird equity awards granted prior to January 1, 2021 were converted into equity awards of both bluebird and 2seventy. The number of shares underlying the converted bluebird equity awards was determined by multiplying the number of shares underlying the existing bluebird equity award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the volume-weighted average trading price of bluebird common stock (trading "regular way") on the five trading days immediately prior to the distribution date (the "bluebird Pre-Distribution VWAP") and the denominator of which is the sum of (1) the volume-weighted average trading price of 2seventy common stock (trading "regular way") on the five trading days immediately following the distribution date multiplied by the distribution ratio and (2) the volume-weighted average trading price of bluebird bio common stock (trading "regular way") on the five trading days immediately following the distribution date (the "bluebird Post-Distribution VWAP").
F3 bluebird equity awards granted on or after January 1, 2021, such equity awards continued as bluebird equity awards, subject to adjustment. The adjusted number of shares of bluebird common stock underlying such equity awards is equal to the number of shares of bluebird common stock subject to the equity award immediately prior to the distribution multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the bluebird Pre-Distribution VWAP and the denominator of which is the bluebird Post-Distribution VWAP.
