be awarded units equal to 100% of their target unit grant. If the Company’s cumulative three-year free cash flow is 110% or more of the cumulative three-year goal, each of the executives will be
awarded units equal to 150% of the original target unit grant. The fair market value of one unit is equivalent to one share of common stock and, as required under the Cincinnati Bell Inc. 1997 Long
Term Incentive Plan, is determined by averaging the low and high traded price of the Company’s stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. The average of the high and low price of the Company’s
common shares on the NYSE on January 26, 2007 was $4.73.
(c) The material terms of the options granted are: grant type — non-incentive; exercise price — fair market value on grant date; vesting — 28% on the first anniversary of the original grant date and
thereafter at the rate of 3% per month for the next 24 months; term of grant — 10 years; termination — except in the case of death, disability or retirement, any unvested options will be cancelled 90
days following termination of employment.
(d) For the amounts related to option awards, the amounts set forth in this column represent the amount that will be expensed by the Company over the three-year vesting period. The grant date fair
value was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For the amounts related to stock awards, the amounts set forth in this column represent the expense the Company may record
over the next three years assuming the maximum number of shares are earned and the executive remains with the Company through the applicable vesting dates. The grant date fair value was $4.73
as determined on the date of grant, January 26, 2007. For further discussion of assumptions and valuation, refer to Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
