Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	Restrictive Stock Grant vesting over three years.
F2	Return to issuer of previously restricted shares to satisfy withholding tax liability.
F3	Charlotte Montressor Willis.
F4	Wilder Grace Willis 2016 Trust.
F5	Grant of performance-based restricted stock award ("PSA") subject to performance-based and time-based vesting over three years. Performance-based vesting criteria include a combination of return on equity and combined value of the issuer's businesses and its fund, joint venture, and managed portfolios. Each PSA represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock to the extent the performance-based criteria is met. Reported amount assumes 100% performance-based vesting, but actual number of PSAs earned may be 25% more or less than the reported amount, depending on the extent to which the performance-based vesting criteria are met or not met.
