(a) Restricted Stock

During the first nine months of 2017, Federated awarded 543,570 shares of restricted Federated Class B common stock, nearly all of which was granted in connection with a bonus program in which certain key employees received a portion of their bonus in the form of restricted stock under Federated's Stock Incentive Plan. This restricted stock, which was granted on the bonus payment date and issued out of treasury, will generally vest over a three-year period. The remaining shares were awarded to certain key employees and generally vest over a ten-year period.

During 2016, Federated awarded 943,160 shares of restricted Federated Class B common stock under its Stock Incentive Plan. Of this amount, 464,660 shares were awarded in connection with the aforementioned bonus program in 2016. The remaining shares were awarded to certain key employees and generally vest over a ten-year period.

(b) Non-Management Director Stock Award

During the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, Federated awarded 6,000 and 5,700 shares of Federated Class B common stock, respectively, to non-management directors. There were no additional awards to non-management directors in 2017 or 2016.
