(1) Ms. Hobson has received an exempt award of Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs") under the Groupon, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan. DSUs represent a right to receive shares of Groupon's Class A common stock (or, in the sole discretion of Groupon's Board of Directors following a change in control, cash, securities or a combination of cash and securities equal to the fair market value thereof) upon termination of service as a Director of Groupon. Ms. Hobson has elected to receive DSUs in lieu of the annual retainer fees payable for services on Groupon's Board of Directors and any committees thereof. The DSUs are awarded on the date such fees would otherwise be payable (i.e., quarterly in arrears). The DSUs are immediately vested.
(2) Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock.
(3) The restricted stock units reported on this line vest in equal installments on May 31, 2012, May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2014, subject to Ms. Hobson's continued service on the Board of Directors through each vesting date.
