(1)	On March 29, 2016, the reporting person was granted 34,500 performance-based restricted stock units subject to both a performance-based condition and a time-based vesting schedule. The grant provided that if, on or before the fourth anniversary of the transaction date of March 29, 2016, the average of the closing prices per share of OCN common stock for a period of twenty consecutive trading days, plus the amount of any dividends paid on a share of OCN common stock on or before the last day of that period, equaled or exceeded $4.78, the restricted stock units would vest in four annual installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of March 29, 2016. This performance-based condition was satisfied on November 30, 2016. The final tranche of 8,625 shares will vest March 29, 2020, subject to the reporting person's continued employment.
