Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	Consists of shares of restricted stock, granted pursuant to the Company's 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which vest 40% on March 13, 2023, 40% on March 13, 2024, and 20% on March 13, 2025.
F2	Each Performance Share Unit (PSU) represents the right to receive, following vesting, up to 200% of one share of RUTH common stock. The number of PSUs reported assumes target performance. The number of shares of RUTH stock acquired upon vesting of the PSUs is contingent upon the achievement of pre-established performance metrics, as approved by the Company's Compensation Committee, over a three year performance period beginning with the first day of the fiscal year of the grant date and ending on the last day of the fiscal year of the second anniversary of the grant date.
F3	Unless earlier forfeited under the terms of the PSU, each PSU vests and converts into no more than 200% of one share of RUTH common stock on March 13, 2025.
