(1) On July 23, 2007, Alfred C. Harper's 3-year, pre-paid forward sale contract ("Contract") with Merill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill") filed on a Form 4 dated July 23, 2004 expired. Pursuant to the Contract, Mr. Harper was obligated to sell up to 60,000 shares of Common Stock of J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. to Merrill. The actual number of shares Mr. Harper was obligated to deliver was dependent on the closing market price ("Settlement Price") of the Common Stock on July 23, 2007. The closing market price on July 23, 2007 was $28.87, which resulted in Mr. Harper delivering a total of 41,035 shares of Common Stock to Merrill to satisfy his obligation. Merrill has released Mr. Harper from his obligation and Mr. Harper will keep the remaining 18,965 shares.
(2) On August 10, 2006, Alfred C. Harper entered into a Specialized Term Appreciation Retention Sale (STARS) transaction with Bank of America whereby the holder will agree to sell Bank of America on a forward basis for settlement on or about August 2009 up to 40,000 shares of common stock to be delivered in accordance with a variable share delivery formula. The forward floor price on August 10, 2006 was $19.6344. The forward cap price will be $29.4516.
(3) The Resrtricted Stock award, approved by the Company's Compensation Committee, vests over a five-year period. There is no purchase price required by the recipient in connection with this award. Termination of the recipient's employment for any reason other than death or disability shall result in forfeiture of the award on the date of termination.
