Why does my optimization exceed the value I specified for the "MaxIter" property within the Optimization Toolbox?

Why does my optimization exceed the value I specified for the "MaxIter" property within the Optimization Toolbox?
For example, I specified the "MaxIter" property of my options argument to be 100; however, my optimization performs 101 iterations.

The functions within the Optimization Toolbox and the Genetic Algorithms and Direct Search Toolbox terminate when the number of iterations "exceed" the value for the "MaxIter" property of the options argument. Therefore, the optimization functions will perform "MaxIter"+1 iterations, unless other exit criteria are met before this occurs.
