(1) On June 30, 2010 (the "Distribution Date"), Questar Corporation ("Questar") consummated the spin-off of its wholly owned subsidiary, QEP Resources, Inc. ("QEP"), by distributing all of the shares of QEP that it owned to Questar shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 18, 2010 (the "Record Date"). The distribution was made to the Questar shareholders on a pro rata basis by means of a share dividend pursuant to which each shareholder received 1 share of QEP common stock for every 1 share of Questar common stock held by such shareholder. These shares were acquired as a result of the share dividend.
(2) In connection with the spin-off, each holder as of the Record Date of Questar phantom stock units that remained outstanding immediately prior to the Distribution Date received 1 share of QEP phantom stock unit for every 1 share of Questar phantom stock unit held by such holder. Each QEP phantom stock unit has the same vesting schedule as in effect for the corresponding Questar phantom stock unit.
(3) Vested shares of phantom stock units will be payable in cash within 60 days upon the earlier of the reporting person's (i) separation from service from QEP, (ii) death or (iii) disability pursuant to the QEP Resources, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors.
(4) This option was originally granted to the reporting person by Questar. In connection with the spin-off, this option was split into options to acquire Questar common stock and QEP common stock in accordance with that certain Employee Matters Agreement dated June 14, 2010 between Questar and QEP.
