On April 6, 2005, The Toro Company purchased 36,238 shares of Toro common stock from Kendrick B. Melrose, Executive Chairman of the Board. The purchase was effected under the terms of an Officer Stock Purchase Policy, which was approved by Toro’s Board of Directors on September 16, 1999. Pursuant to the terms of the Officer Stock Purchase Policy, Mr. Melrose requested prior to the opening of the market on the morning of April 6, 2005 that Toro purchase 36,238 of his shares of Toro common stock at a purchase price equal to $90.00 per share, which represented the closing price of a share of Toro common stock on April 5, 2005, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Toro, which has recently and from time to time been in the market effecting repurchases of its common stock under its Board of Directors approved stock repurchase program, agreed to purchase the shares from Mr. Melrose.
