(2) Additionally, in the Merger, each AK Steel restricted stock unit ("AK Steel RSU") held by the Reporting Person was converted into a restricted stock unit relating to a number of whole Issuer Common Shares equal to (A) the number of shares of AK Steel Common Stock subject to such AK Steel RSU immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger multiplied by (B) 0.400.
(3) Reflects the number of pro-rata restricted shares granted to the Reporting Person as director compensation pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2014 Nonemployee Directors' Compensation Plan.
