Explanation of Responses:
1. Each restricted stock unit represented a contingent right to receive one share of Emcore common stock. Restricted stock units were payable, at the election of the Issuer, in cash, Emcore common stock, or a combination of the two. On January 5, 2016, the Issuer settled the restricted stock units in common stock.
2. All sales were effected pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan previously adopted by the Reporting Person to satisfy the reporting person's tax liability in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units that were granted under the Company's 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which grant was exempt from Section 16b pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d).
3. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Emcore common stock. Restricted stock units are payable, at the election of the Issuer, in cash, Emcore common stock, or a combination of the two.
4. 12,500 restricted stock units vested on January 5, 2016.
5. The remaining unvested restricted stock units vest in two equal annual installments commencing on January 1, 2017. Not later than 30 days after vesting occurs, vested shares of Emcore common stock, an amount in cash equal to their fair market value or a combination of the two will be delivered to the Reporting Person.
6. The restricted stock units were awarded to the Reporting Person for no cash or other similar consideration.
