* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Represents the conversion upon vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") into common stock. On July 15, 2015, the reporting person was granted 10,000 RSUs that were previously reported on Table II of Form 4, which report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 17, 2015.
(2) Corrects the total number of shares directly owned, resulting from a one-share error reported on the reporting person's Form 4 filed April 5, 2016.
(3) Represents the conversion upon vesting of RSUs into common stock. On December 11, 2015, the reporting person was granted 4,259 RSUs that were previously reported on Table II of Form 4, which report was filed with the SEC on December 15, 2015.
(4) These shares are owned directly by The Harvey Superannuation Fund, a retirement fund of which the reporting person is a beneficiary.
(5) Each RSU is the economic equivalent of one share of S&W Seed Company common stock. The closing price of SANW on September 30, 2016 (the last trading date before the October 1, 2016 vesting date, which fell on a weekend) was $5.10.
(6) On July 15, 2015, the reporting person was granted 100,000 RSUs of which 772 vested on October 1, 2016. The common stock into which such vested RSUs converted on October 1, 2016 is reported on Table I of this Form 4. The remaining unvested RSUs will continue to vest in six additional quarterly installments of 772 RSUs on the first day of each fiscal quarter and a final quarterly installment will vest an aggregate of 780 RSUs on July 1, 2018, subject to the reporting person's continued service with the Issuer through the respective vesting dates. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person on the settlement date unless the Issuer elects to settle the RSUs in cash or a combination of shares and cash, at the Issuer's discretion.
(7) On December 11, 2015, the reporting person was granted 4,259 RSUs, of which 1,065 vested on October 1, 2016. The common stock into which such vested RSUs converted on October 1, 2016 is reported on Table I of this Form 4. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person on the settlement date unless the Issuer elects to settle the RSUs in cash or a combination of shares and cash, at the Issuer's discretion.
