Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Transaction Date is the date that the Issuer's Board of Directors' Compensation Committee certified that the reporting person earned the Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), which are convertible into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock on a 1:1 basis.
(2)	Represents (A) the total number of RSUs earned for satisfaction of one of the performance conditions (approval of Vimizin in the U.S. or EU prior to December 31, 2015) set forth in the performance-based RSU awards previously granted under the Issuer's 2006 Share Incentive Plan, using the final Total Shareholder Return (TSR) as of December 31, 2015, less (B) the number of RSUs previously reported on Form 4 on February 19, 2014 as earned for satisfaction of the same performance condition determined using a lower, estimated TSR.
(3)	Although earned, the RSUs only vest on the date of filing of the Issuer's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, so long as the reporting person remains continuously employed with the Issuer through that date, subject to earlier vesting upon certain corporate events.
(4)	Price is not applicable to the RSUs.
(5)	Represents the total number of RSUs earned for satisfaction of one of the performance conditions (Issuers's total revenue for the calendar year 2015, as certified by the Issuer's audited financials, equals or exceeds $775 million) set forth in the performance-based RSU awards previously granted under the Issuer's 2006 Share Incentive Plan using the final TSR as of December 31, 2015.
(6)	Represents the total number of RSUs earned pursuant to a calculation based on the level of the Issuer's total adjusted revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as certified by its audited financials, set forth in the performance-based RSU awards previously granted under the Issuer's 2006 Share Incentive Plan.
(7)	Although earned, the RSUs only vest according to the following schedule: 1/3 vests on each of March 3, 2016, 2017 and 2018, so long as the reporting person remains continuously employed with the Issuer through that date, subject to earlier vesting upon certain corporate events.
