This transaction was executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, in multiple trades at prices ranging from $101.04 to $101.55. The reported price is the weighted average sale price. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the Company, any security holder of the Company, or Securities and Exchange Commission staff, upon request, complete information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.
Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of F5 Networks, Inc. Common Stock on the vest date.
Certain Restricted Stock Units vest based on performance targets ("Performance Awards"). Previously, the Company disclosed Performance Awards in Table II. When the performance targets were achieved, the Company reported the conversion of the Performance Awards in Table II, and reported the acquisition of the underlying shares in Table I. Performance Awards will no longer be reported in Table II. The underlying shares of Performance Awards will hereafter be reported in Table I if and when the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines that the performance targets have been achieved. Consistent with this change in reporting practices, the Restricted Stock Units reported in Table II of this Report are service-based only and do not include Performance Awards.
The August 3, 2009 award of service-based Restricted Stock Units vests in eight equal quarterly increments beginning November 1, 2009.
If the reporting person continues to serve as an officer of the Company on the vest date, the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock of F5 Networks, Inc. will be issued to the reporting person on the vest date.
8,635 of the service-based Restricted Stock Units awarded August 2, 2010 vest in twelve equal quarterly increments beginning November 1, 2010; an additional 6,000 Restricted Stock Units vest August 1, 2013.
