Footnotes

F1: The amount listed in Table II represents the vesting of the RSUP18 award. The award vested on March 1, 2016 and because the performance targets were achieved, the award was paid out at a performance rate of 150%. The shares coded "F" were withheld to cover income tax obligations associated with the payout.

F2: 1 for 1

F3: Balance includes shares acquired through dividend reinvestment.

F4: These transactions reflect the conversion of stock originally deferred for three years and dividend equivalents accrued during that time, and credited to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan's Phantom 3/13D stock account, to directly-held common stock. Units were withheld to cover income tax obligations.

F5: Dividend equivalents that accrue after January 1, 2014 on shares held in the Phantom 3/13d account are paid in cash under the terms of the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

F6: FE's 401(k) Plan includes a unitized fund invested in FE stock, in which the reporting person may invest, and includes dividend reinvestment and company match features. The number of shares reported as indirectly held in the 401(k) Plan in this row is an estimate of the number of shares of FE's common stock held in the unitized stock fund and allocated to the reporting person's account as of December 31, 2015.

F7: This holding reflects amounts payable upon retirement or other termination of employment under arrangements approved by the Compensation Committee.
