Explanation of responses

F1These shares were owned by Erie Indemnity Company director and reporting person, Susan Hirt Hagen who died 6/15/15. By operation of law, her 6,658,800 Class A shares and 12 Class B shares held in a revocable trust passed to an irrevocable trust of which this reporting person became co-trustee, sharing voting and investment powers. The 12,230 Class A shares from Mrs. Hagen's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan account were subsequently transferred by the Company to her estate for which this reporting person is co-executor, sharing voting and investment powers.
F2These shares are held by the Hagen FLP of which the reporting person is a Limited Partner and the General Partner with the sole powers of investment and voting. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.
F3Conversion price is not applicable to shares granted under the Outside Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan.
F4Acquired under dividend reinvestment for Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan.
F5The shares subject to this reporting are Share Credits which are periodically credited to the accounts of certain Directors of Erie Indemnity Company pursuant to its Outside Directors' Stock Plan. These Share Credits represent the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Erie Indemnity Company Class A common stock when the reporting individual's service as a Director of the Company ends. There are no exercisable or expiration dates for these securities.
