Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents shares earned from the FY18-FY20 performance stock unit ("PSU") award granted on November 13, 2017, as certified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on November 12, 2020. Earned PSUs became 100% vested on the last day of the performance period. The PSUs were measured against EPS performance goals over three separate one-year measurement periods for each of FY18, FY19 and FY20, and a fourth cumulative FY18-FY20 measurement period with a potential payout of 0% to 200% of Target. Each measurement period was weighted equally at 25%. The entire PSU payout was subject to a payment modifier (-25%, 0% or +25%) based on Valvoline's FY18-FY20 total shareholder return relative to the companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index. Based on Valvoline's EPS performance and relative TSR performance, the Compensation Committee awarded a PSU payout equal to 51.2% of Target.

2. Restricted stock units and performance stock units convert into Valvoline common stock on a one-for-one basis.

3. The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

4. Fifty percent (50%) of the stock appreciation rights vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 25% vest on each of the second and third anniversaries of the grant date.
