Explanation of responses
- F1Represents the number of additional shares of common stock underlying deferred stock units (DSUs) issued to the reporting person in connection with this person's retainer as a director under the Steel Dynamics, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. This transaction is exempt from the provisions of Section 16(b), by virtue of Rule 16b-3(d)(1) and (3).
- F2Reportable as directly owned shares of common stock, rather than as a derivative security in Table II, because any and all underlying DSUs are payable, at such time as they are to be settled, solely in shares of common stock. (See Lincoln National Corp. (March 20, 1992) (Q.3).
- F3Includes shares resulting from reinvestment of dividends on any underlying DSUs included in this total.
- F4Through control of Heidtman Steel Products, Inc., which holds these shares. Mr. Bates disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
