(1) On September 9, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of United Natural Foods, Inc. ("the Company") reviewed the Company's earnings before interest and taxes and return on invested capital for August 4, 2013 through August 2, 2014 (the "Performance Period") in comparison to performance targets for the 22,229 shares awarded on September 16, 2013, which could range from 0% to 200%. After reviewing the Company's financial performance in comparison to the performance targets, the Compensation Committee approved the vesting of 19,396 of the preformance shares and the resulting issuance of 19,396 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the reporting person, both of which were effective as of the date of the approval of vesting by the Compensation Committee. The reporting person previously reported the award of 22,229 shares constituting the targeted award.
(2) Following the Compensation Committee's determination regarding the vesting of the performance shares in footnote 1, the Company retained 7,042 shares of the shares issuable to the reporting person to satisfy the related tax withholding obligations based on the Company's closing stock price on the date of approval of vesting by the Compensation Committee.
(3) Restricted stock units convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, there was no purchase price paid by the reporting person.
