Explanation of Responses:
1. This row is being added to show derivative securities acquired pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 9, 2017, among the issuer, Bishop Merger Sub, Inc. and Knight Transportation, Inc. (the "Merger Agreement"), providing that the issuer would assume each restricted stock award of Knight Transportation, Inc. Common Stock subject to vesting and automatically convert such awards into restricted stock awards of issuer's Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Knight Transportation, Inc. Common Stock.
2. On 3/14/14, the reporting person was granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") with the amount of shares of common stock awarded to be based on achieving or failing to achieve performance targets measured over a 3-year period that ended 12/31/16. As part of the Merger Agreement, on the effective date of the merger, the RSUs vested and the shares issued had a market value of $40.85 per share. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive 1 share of Class A Common Stock. The reporting person opted to defer 75% of the RSUs that vested on the effective date of the merger. As a result, the reporting person is reporting the disposition of 7,464 RSUs in exchange for an equal number of shares of phantom stock. The phantom stock will be paid in 3 equal annual installments on 1/31/19, 1/31/20, and 1/31/21. The acquisition of Class A Common Stock for the remaining 25% of the RSUs that vested (2,488 RSUs) is reported in Table I of the original Form 4.
3. The number of underlying securities is subject to adjustment based on the level of achievement for specified performance targets measured over a performance period ending on December 31, 2017. The shares underlying this award vested as of September 8, 2017.
4. The remaining restricted stock units vest as follows: approximately 17% on January 31, 2018, approximately 17% on January 31, 2019, approximately 15% on January 31, 2020, and approximately 17% on each of January 31, 2021, 2022, and 2023.
5. The remaining restricted stock units vest on January 31, 2018.
6. This restricted stock unit grant vests in five equal annual installments beginning on May 31, 2018.
