        <footnote id="F1">The acquisition of common stock represents the vesting of performance share awards (PSAs), net of relinquishments, awarded on May 22, 2017 pursuant to the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Each PSA has a value equal to one share of TransAct common stock. The PSAs are earned on a variable basis dependent upon level of achievement against a long-term performance metric, which for 2017 was a two-year combined EBITDA target for 2017 and 2018, which ended on December 31, 2018. The performance criteria was satisfied at the 93.9% level, which resulted in a payout of 84.7% of the PSAs granted during 2017. Mr. DeMartino relinquished 1,923 shares of common stock of the 4,149 PSAs that converted to common stock on February 27, 2019 in order to pay required income and payroll taxes.</footnote>
