        <footnote id="F1">Represents previously reported performance stock units that the Compensation Committee of the registrant's Board of Directors determined on June 14, 2018 did not vest and were, by the terms of the original grant agreement, automatically cancelled as of such date. On June 28, 2017, the reporting person received a grant of performance stock units (covering 8,553 shares of common stock) that could vest ratably over three years at 0% to 300% of target based upon certain performance criteria for the periods ending March 31, 2018, March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 having been satisfied and approved by the Compensation Committee. Such award was reported at target in the reporting person's Form 3 filed September 14, 2017. On June 14, 2018, the Compensation Committee determined that 53.27% of the first tranche of such award vested.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These shares were withheld by Acxiom Corporation to satisfy the reporting person's tax obligations that arose on June 14, 2018, when restricted stock units belonging to the reporting person vested.</footnote>
