Explanation of Responses:
JRS Properties entered into a deferred sale transaction in the
form of a variable share forward sale contract (the "JRS Properties
Contract") with Bank of America, N.A. on February 20, 2003, pursuant
to which JRS Properties was entitled to receive a notional amount
of cash against the future delivery of up to 550,000 shares
(collectively, the "Shares") of Remington's Common Stock.  The
Initial Share Price will be determined at the end of the Pricing
Period and will equal the net volume weighted average price per
share at which Bank of America hedges its risk in the market by
selling 550,000 shares of Remington's Common Stock. Pursuant to the
JRS Properties Contract, at the expiration date (48 months from the
date at which the Initial Share Price is determined in accordance
with the contract), JRS Properties must

FORM 4, P. 4 OF 4

deliver the Shares, or a lesser number of Shares which shall be
determined based on the share price on the expiration date, to the
counterparty.
