Explanation of Responses:	
(  1) 	Reflects Company matching contributions and dividends on such contributions under Company supplemental compensation plans that were invested in a unitized Company stock fund from March 8, 2011 to September 7, 2011. The Company has determined that such supplemental plans do not meet all of the requirements for an "Excess Benefit Plan" under which transactions are generally exempt from reporting pursuant to Rules16b-3(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A similar report is being filed for all Section 16 officers who participate in Company supplemental compensation plans.	
(  2) 	These Phantom Stock Units are to be settled in cash equal to the fair market value of ordinary shares multiplied by the number of phantom stock units held upon the reporting person's termination of employment with the issuer.	
(  3) 	The number of shares is an approximate number based on the total market value of the reporting person's Company stock fund units, as reported by the trustee of the Company supplemental compensation plans.
