| (1) | These shares were acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award under the Veeco Instruments Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and are subject to certain restrictions. These restrictions will lapse with respect to 1/3 of such shares on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. |
| (2) | Reflects performance-based restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under the Veeco 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Veeco common stock, assuming achievement of the performance criteria by the date corresponding to 100% performance achievement (the "target date"), as specified in the award agreement. If the criteria is achieved prior to the target date, then up to 150% of the shares covered by the award may be earned. If the criteria is achieved after the target date, but still within the designated period, then fewer than 100% of the shares may be earned. If the criteria is not achieved by the specified deadline, then the award will be forfeited. Assuming the criteria has been met, vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person on the date(s) provided in the award agreement, subject to the reporting person's continued service over a four-year period from the grant date. |
| (3) | Represents securities sold pursuant to a 10b5-1 sales plan adopted by the reporting person. |
| (4) | Reflects the weighted average sale price. Actual sale prices ranged from $30.41 to $31.07 per share. The reporting person undertakes to provide, upon request by the SEC staff, the issuer or any security holder of the issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price. |
