        <footnote id="F3">Option received in the merger between Travelers and St. Paul in exchange for an option to purchase Travelers Class A Common Stock.  In the merger, each outstanding option to purchase Travelers Common Stock was converted to an option to purchase shares of St. Paul Travelers Common Stock on substantially the same terms, except that the number of shares was adjusted by multiplying the number of Travelers option shares by .4334 (rounding down to the nearest whole number) and the option exercise price was adjusted by dividing the Travelers exercise price by .4334.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F7">Option vests over five years in 20% annual increments beginning eighteen months after the date of grant.  The date exercisable reported in the table is the first 20% vesting date.</footnote>
