In connection with the closing on November 4, 2013 of a private bond offering by the indirect
parent company of J. Crew Group, Inc. (the "Company"), a cash dividend of up to $500 million was declared by Chinos Holdings, Inc. (the Company's "Parent"). The Parent's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan requires adjustment to outstanding equity awards as a result of the dividend recapitalization. Parent has effected this adjustment through a combination of cash payments and exercise price adjustments. Parent authorized cash payments in an amount equal to the per share dividend to members of the senior management team who previously invested in Parent by, among other things, rolling over vested stock options they held in the Company prior to the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of TPG Capital, L.P. and Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. in March 2011
.
The Company's named executive officers will receive aggregate dividend equivalent payments based on the number of shares covered by each holder's respective rollover stock options as follows: Ms. Lyons - $1,898,852; Mr. Scully - $1,186,783; Ms. Wadle - $949,426; Ms. Markoe - $474,713; and Mr. Haselden - $103,487. The Company's chief executive officer will not receive a dividend equivalent payment because he does not hold rollover stock options. The dividend equivalent payments will be made in lieu of a reduction to the exercise price of these rollover stock options and do not constitute bonus compensation. In addition to the dividend equivalent payments, the Parent will reduce the exercise prices of all other outstanding stock options by an amount equal to the per share dividend.
