Explanation of responses

- F2Represents the restricted shares withheld by Lorillard to satisfy the reporting person's tax liability resulting from the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards held by the reporting person at the effective time of the Merger.
- F3Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Lorillard common stock beneficially owned by the reporting person was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) $50.50 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") and (ii) 0.2909 of a share of RAI common stock (the "Stock Consideration").
- F4Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding option to purchase Lorillard common stock beneficially owned by the reporting person was canceled in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of shares of Lorillard common stock subject to the option multiplied by the excess of the Equity Award Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of the option.
