Explanation of Responses:
(1)  The closing price of BF-B on April 30, 2018 was used to calculate the withholding obligation.
(2)  Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to recive one share of Brown-Forman Class B common stock.
(3)  The restricted stock units were granted on July 24, 2014, and vested on April 30, 2018.
(4)  On February 28, 2018, the issuer completed a stock split resulting in the distribution of one share of Class B common stock for every four shares of either Class A or Class B common stock held.

These stock appreciation rights were previously reported as covering 2,624 shares at an exercise price of $51.125, but were adjusted to reflect the February 2018 stock split and April 2018 special dividend.
(5)  These stock appreciation rights were previously reported as covering 7,682 shares at an exercise price of $49.005, but were adjusted to reflect the February 2018 stock split and April 2018 special dividend.
