F1: Helen P. Johnson-Leipold reports direct ownership of these shares, which she holds (a) personally, (b) as the sole shareholder of a certain corporation that holds shares, and (c) as restricted stock awards.

F2: Helen P. Johnson-Leipold reports these shares as settlor of and beneficiary of certain revocable trusts (collectively, the "Trusts").

F3: Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports these shares as settlor and beneficiary of the Trusts, which beneficially own reported shares directly or indirectly as a shareholder of certain corporations and as the general partner of certain limited partnerships (collectively, the "Controlling Entities").

F4: Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports all shares held by certain corporations of which the Trusts referenced above may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder. In addition, Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports all shares held by certain limited partnerships of which one of the Trusts are a general partner. Due to the nature of such limited partnerships, it is impractical to determine the Trust's or such other trusts' proportionate interest (as defined by Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(B)) in such limited partnerships. Ms. Johnson-Leipold disclaims beneficial ownership in all shares held by the Controlling Entities in which she does not have a pecuniary interest.
