Explanation of Responses:

|
The reported disposition represents a bona fide charitable gift made by the reporting person.
|
(
2)
|
Represents shares acquired pursuant to vesting of RSUs that were granted to the reporting person in January 2015 and vested in January 2016 based on the terms of the grant approved in January 2015 (see Remarks below). Pursuant to the award terms, the reporting person is required to hold 100% of shares (net of taxes) received upon the vesting of equity awards until one-year after retirement.
|
(
3)
|
The reported disposition represents the surrender of shares to satisfy tax obligations arising from the vesting of the RSUs granted in January 2015.
|
(
4)
|
The transactions reported represent RSUs granted in January 2015, which were settled in cash upon vesting in accordance with the terms of the grant approved in January 2015 (see Remarks below). The transactions reported represent a simultaneous deemed acquisition of these shares from the issuer and disposition of these shares to the issuer. The issuer withheld a portion of the amount due to the reporting person to satisfy tax obligations arising from the vesting of the RSUs granted in January 2015.
|
(
5)
|
Shares held in reporting person's account under the Company's Retirement Savings Plan. This plan uses unit accounting, and the number of shares that a participant is deemed to hold varies with the unit price of the Company pooled stock fund.
|
Remarks:
As disclosed in the Company's 2015 Proxy Statement, in January 2015, the Compensation and Benefits Committee paid a portion of Mr. Chenault's 2014 Annual Incentive Award in restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The Committee also awarded RSUs as payment for the Portfolio Grant earned by Mr. Chenault over the 2012-2014 performance period. All of these RSUs were deferred with a one-year vesting period and structured to pay: 1/2 of each award in shares (which must be held by Mr. Chenault until one-year after retirement) and 1/2 in cash. These RSUs vested on January 26, 2016. Prior to these vestings, Mr. Chenault directly held 738,630 shares of common stock; after these vestings and withholdings for payment of taxes, he directly held 767,652 shares of common stock. As a result of these vestings, Mr. Chenault's share ownership increased by 29,022 shares of common stock; and he directly and indirectly beneficially owned a total of 951,683 shares of common stock.
