(2) | The reporting person is reporting the withholding by the Issuer of 2,438 shares of common stock that vested on April 1, 2015 but that were not issued in order to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligations in connection with the delivery of the converted common stock to the reporting person on April 1, 2015. |
(3) | The sales reported on this Form 4 were affected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person. |
(4) | This transaction was executed in multiple trades at prices ranging between $4.63 and $4.69. The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price. The reporting person hereby undertakes to provide upon request to the SEC staff, the Issuer or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price for all transactions reported on this Form 4. |
(5) | Each RSU is the economic equivalent of one share of S&W Seed Company common stock. The closing price of SANW on April 1, 2015 was $4.50. |
(6) | On March 16, 2013, the reporting person was granted 100,000 RSUs, of which 4,722 vested on April 1, 2015.
