Footnotes

F1: The reported transaction involved Ms. Johnson-Leipold's purchase of shares from a grantor retained annuity trust, for which the Ms. Johnson-Leipold's husband serves as investment fiduciary, in exchange for a promissory note. Ms. Johnson-Leipold was the beneficial owner of the purchased shares while they were held by the grantor retained annuity trust and Ms. Johnson-Leipold remains the beneficial owner of the shares following their purchase from the grantor retained annuity trust.

F2: The purchase price will be determined at a later date through an appraisal of the purchased common stock.

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 certain trusts (the "Trusts") may be deemed to be controlling shareholders. In addition, Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports all shares held by certain limited partnerships of which one of the Trusts is a general partner. Due to the nature of such limited partnerships, it is impractical to determine each Trust's or 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.

F5: Helen P. Johnson-Leipold reports these shares as settlor of and beneficiary of the Trusts.

F6: 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.
