Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )This represents the difference between the number of SARs exercised (3,350) and the number of shares issued as a result of the exercise (616). The number of shares to be issued under a SAR exercise is determined by multiplying the number of SARs being exercised by the difference between the FMV on the date of exercise ($55.615) and the exercise price ($39.83). Additional shares are then withheld to satisfy the Company's tax withholding obligations. ( 2 )Shares withheld for tax purposes related to February 28, 2019 restricted stock unit grant that vested on February 28, 2022. ( 3 )On February 28, 2019, the Reporting Person received a grant of 494 performance stock units ("PSUs"). Following the three-year performance period, a conversion factor of 1.01 was applied to the PSUs resulting in an award of 499 shares, subject to tax withholding.
