F1: Includes 588.989 shares acquired on April 18, 2013, 528.792 shares acquired on July 18, 2012 and 478.560 shares acquired on October 18, 2013 by dividend reinvestment under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan for shareholders of Ecolab sponsored by Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

F2: The original Form 4 filed by the reporting person on December 6, 2013 reported in error that he made a gift of 13,085 shares from his direct beneficial holdings of Ecolab common stock on November 1, 2013 and his direct beneficial holdings of Ecolab common stock as of the date of the report were incorrectly reported as 220,678.760 shares. The gift was instead made from shares of Ecolab common stock held by the reporting person's wife. Accordingly, the reporting person is filing this amendment to correct his direct beneficial holdings of Ecolab common stock as of the date of the report to 233,763.760 shares and the indirect beneficial holdings of Ecolab common stock held through his wife to 12,415 shares.
