(1) Shares for the reporting person held under the Vulcan Materials Company 401(k) and Restricted Stock Plans have been lumped together under one security titled Common Stock. Also, the 401(k) shares are switched from an indirect holding to a direct holding. The reflected transactions accomplish these purposes.
(2) Each performance unit is settled 50% in Vulcan common stock and 50% in cash after deducting the amount of taxes due.
(3) Restricted Stock Units which are convertible on a 1-for-1 basis.
(4) Performance Share Units vest at January 1 following a three-year award period. At the end of the award period, the Compensation Committee determines the payment amount based on Company performance. The payment is made 50% in stock and 50% in cash on a payment date determined by the Compensation Committee. The fair market value of the award is not determinable until the payment date.
