Amounts reflect options granted pursuant to Comdisco's Shared Investment Plan (SIP) on Sunday, February 1, 1998 with a one-day term and an exercise price based on the closing price of the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, January 30, 1998. The options were exercised on the date of grant by the named executive officers. Under the terms of the voluntary plan, the participants took out personal full-recourse loans to fund their exercise of the options to purchase Common Stock at $17.3438 per share, the closing price on January 30, 1998. The loans borrowed from a commercial bank, are the personal obligation of the participants. Comdisco has agreed to guarantee repayment to the bank in the event of a default by a participant. Pursuant to the SIP, Comdisco received approximately $109 million in cash from 106 members of Comdisco's senior management team who collectively purchased over 6 million shares of Comdisco common stock.
