Explanation of Responses:
1. Under the Brown-Forman Non-Employee Director Deferred Stock Unit Program each DSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's Class A common stock. Grants made on July 23, 2015, were based on the closing price of the Company's Class A common stock on that date ($111.30). On each dividend payment date, participants are creditied with DSU equivalents.
2. Annual grants of DSUs vest over the course of the Board year. DSUs are paid out in Class A common stock on the first February 1 that is at least six months following the Director's termination from Board service.
