Explanation of Responses:

1. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Polycom, Inc. common stock. This Restricted Stock Unit Award is scheduled to vest in three (3) equal annual installments on each of the following vest dates: February 25, 2017, February 25, 2018 and February 25, 2019, subject to continued employment through the vesting date.

2. Each Target Performance Share represents a contingent right to receive one share of Polycom, Inc. common stock. The Performance Shares vest upon achievement of certain performance criteria based on total shareholder return and are scheduled to vest as to one-third of the total target award on February 25, 2017, February 25, 2018 and February 25, 2019 (or such later dates as the Compensation Committee certifies achievement of the performance criteria). The number of shares reflected on this filing is at the target award level. The actual number of shares that may vest ranges from 0% to 150% of the target amount, depending upon actual performance and also requires continued employment through the vesting date.
