Explanation of Responses:

1. Each performance stock unit was granted in 2015 and represented a contingent right to receive between 0 and 2 shares of Inteliquent, Inc. common stock. The actual number of shares delivered was based on the total shareholder return of Inteliquent, Inc. over a 24-month measuring period weighted (i) two-thirds against the total shareholder return of all companies in the S&P 500 Index and (ii) one-third against the total shareholder return of all companies in the S&P Small Cap 600 Telecommunications Services Index (together, the "TSR Metric"). 11,249 shares of common stock represented the target amount of the award. These target shares converted to 16,874 shares of common stock, using a TSR metric of 150%. Additionally, 788 shares of common stock, representing accumulated dividends paid during the performance period were granted, for a total of 17,662 shares of common stock granted.

2. The reported disposition represents the withholding of shares to cover tax obligations arising from the vesting of the performance stock units.
