Explanation of Responses:

1. Disposed of in connection with the merger of ICO, Inc. ('ICO') with and into ICO-Schulman, LLC (f/k/a Wildcat Spider, LLC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of A. Schulman, Inc. ('A. Schulman'), which became effective on April 30, 2010 (the 'Effective Date') (the 'Merger'). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 2, 2009, by and among A. Schulman, ICO and Wildcat-Spider, LLC (the 'Merger Agreement'), each share of ICO common stock held by the reporting person converted into the right to receive approximately (i) $3.64 in cash and (ii) 0.181816 shares of A. Schulman common stock (the 'Merger Consideration'). The closing sale price of A. Schulman common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the Effective Date was $26.01. Accordingly, the value of the Merger Consideration for each share of ICO common stock was approximately $8.37 ($3.64 + $4.73 = $8.37).
