Explanation of Responses:

1. Reflects acquisitions of dividend equivalents paid on Company stock held through Company deferred compensation plans from September 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011. The dividends equivalents are paid at the same rate and at the same time as dividends paid to the Company's shareholders. Prior to July 1, 2009, acquisitions of dividend equivalents were exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 16a-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"). On July 1, 2009, the Company became the successor of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company ("IR-Bermuda"), and in connection therewith, IR Bermuda's dividend reinvestment plan was terminated. A similar report is being filed for all Section 16 officers and directors who participate in Company deferred compensation plans.

2. Reflects total ownership as of the date of this filing.

3. Previously reported total ownership was overstated by 270 shares due to an administrative error.

4. Latest available information provided by the trustee of the Ingersoll-Rand Employee Savings Plan.

5. Reflects Company matching contributions and dividends on such contributions under Company supplemental compensation plans that were invested in a unitized Company stock fund from August 26, 2005 to September 7, 2011. The Company has determined that such supplemental plans do not meet all of the requirements for an "Excess Benefit Plan" under which transactions are generally exempt from reporting pursuant to Rules16b-3(c) of the Act. A similar report is being filed for all Section 16 officers who participate in Company supplemental compensation plans.

6. These Phantom Stock Units are to be settled in cash equal to the fair market value of ordinary shares multiplied by the number of phantom stock units held upon the reporting person's termination of employment with the issuer.

7. The number of shares is an approximate number based on the total market value of the reporting person's Company stock fund units, as reported by the trustee of the Company supplemental compensation plans.
