Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Held in the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan (the Plan), a qualified defined contributions plan, as of 2/15/22. Share totals with respect to the Plan are based upon unit accounting and therefore may reflect a change in units attributable to an individual though no acquisition or disposition occurred.
F2 Each Restricted Performance Stock Right ("RPSR") represents a contingent right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Issuer common stock, or, at the Issuer's election, cash or a combination of cash and Issuer common stock. The RPSRs vest if the applicable performance metric is satisfied for the relevant measurement period. Grants awarded pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d).
F3 Vested RPSRs with respect to the measurement period ended 12/31/21 acquired due to settlement of the 2019 RPSRs granted under the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan ("LTISP") on 2/13/19 that resulted in settlement at 122% of the target award. A total of 5,671 shares were issued in settlement of the 2019 RPSRs with a measurement period that ended 12/31/21, and the target award amount of 4,648 RPSRs was previously reported in connection with the grant of the 2019 RPSRs.
