VALERO/UDS MERGER CONSIDERATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In May, 2001 Valero Energy and Ultramar Diamond Shamrock agreed to a
part-cash/part-stock merger in which Valero would exchange all of the shares
of UDS for consideration with a value representing a 31.3% premium to UDS'
stock price, based on the average closing price of UDS for the 10 day period
prior to April 26th.
- The total consideration equates to $27.50 in cash and a fixed exchange ratio
of 0.614 Valero shares for each outstanding share of UDS common stock,
representing an aggregate consideration of approximately $2 billion in cash
plus approximately 44.4 million Valero shares (subject to possible
adjustment as described below).
- A UDS stockholder can elect to receive consideration in the form of cash,
Valero stock or a combination. Whatever the form, the mechanism is designed
such that the per-share consideration will have the same value, based on the
average price of Valero common stock during a 10 day measurement period ending
3 days before closing, regardless of the form of consideration. That per-share
value, whether paid in the form of stock or cash, will be the sum of (a)
$27.50 and (b) the average value of 0.614 Valero shares during the measurement
period.
- The elections will be subject to proration, as the total number of Valero
shares to be issued and the total amount of cash to be paid in the merger to
UDS stockholders as a group are each fixed except that Valero may add more
stock, valued at the measurement period value and in lieu of an equivalent
amount of cash, if needed to maintain the tax-free treatment of the merger.
If stock is oversubscribed, then UDS stockholders who have elected stock
will nevertheless receive cash for some of their UDS shares, on a pro rata
basis, and vice versa if cash is oversubscribed. Also, if based on the average
price of Valero stock during the measurement period the limit on the
percentage of UDS shares that may be converted to stock consideration is
greater than 50%, Valero at its option, may reduce that limit to 50%.

NOTES:
- Assumes at least 43% of the consideration will be required to be paid in Valero stock in order to maintain the tax free status
of the transaction with respect to the stock consideration. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the minimum
percentage required to be paid in stock will not be determined until closing and may be higher or lower than the assumption made
for this example.
- $33.73 represents the breakeven price below which additional stock may be issued to preserve tax-free treatment.
