Applied the proportion employees have historically received to today's pool of 180,000 shares 5, Proportion had to yield a total current grant of at least 1,000 shares to be counted 6. Eliminated two employees who did not receive a grant in 2008 from the list given it is the most recent and relevant data we have on typical grant recipients (employee names are Chris Cherubini and Jason McCord) 7. One exception to the above process is that we included RODGFK Bowling on the list as he was recently identined as a "key talent" employee with the 2009 RSU grant 8. We did some rounding ot numbers to achieve the total 180,000 share pool Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, Eric Chaisson 0 Compensation I Activision Blizzard Inc.
