Explanation of Responses:
(1) Represents deferred director retainer fees invested in phantom stock units under the terms of the Woodward Executive Benefit Plan (the "Plan"). Phantom stock units are accrued under the Plan and are to be settled in 100% common stock on a one-for-one basis at the distribution date specified at the time of election, or if earlier, upon separation from the Issuer. The total shown represents the dollar amount of director retainer fees deferred, divided by the then current share price and, therefore, the number of shares reported may fluctuate from period to period.
(2) Pursuant to an election made by Ms. Drake to defer a portion of her 2022 director retainer fees pursuant to the Plan, her director retainer fee was invested in phantom stock units on April 12, 2022.
