        <footnote id="F1">The Reporting Person was granted a stock option pursuant to
the terms of the Biomet, Inc. 1998 Qualified and
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">In a Form 4 filed on January 4, 2006, the reporting person
reported the receipt of a stock option award for 2,000
shares of common stock, having an exercise price of $36.57
per share.  As previously reported by Biomet, Inc.
('Biomet'), it was recently determined that the previously
reported exercise price did not reflect the exercise price
required pursuant to the terms of Biomet's Stock Option
Plan.  Accordingly, this amendment is being filed to report
the correct exercise price.</footnote>
