Explanation of Responses:
1. On December 8, 2009, the issuer was acquired by Cambium Learning Group, Inc., pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Mergers, dated as of June 20, 2009, by and among Vowel Acquisition Corp., Voyager Learning Company, Cambium Learning Group, Inc., VSS-Cambium Holdings II Corp., Consonant Acquisition Corp., and Vowel Representative, LLC (as amended, the "Merger Agreement"). All shares of Voyager Learning Company common stock held by the reporting person at the time of the merger were exchanged for merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The merger consideration consists of the right to receive, at the election of each stockholder, either (i) $6.50 in cash, without interest, OR (ii) one (1) share of common stock of Cambium Learning Group, Inc., plus, regardless of the election made, additional consideration consisting of cash and a contingent value right, as described in the Merger Agreement.
2. The amount of cash available to satisfy cash elections by Voyager stockholders will be determined by a formula that is primarily dependent on the cash generated by Voyager prior to the Effective Time, and the amount of cash available for the cash elections is limited to a maximum of $67,500,000 in the aggregate (the "Cash Amount"). If the Cash Amount is insufficient to accommodate all of the cash elections made by Voyager stockholders, then the stockholders electing to exchange shares of Voyager common stock for cash will be subject to a pro rata reduction in accordance with agreed procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of such person's pecuniary interest, if any, therein.
