Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  These shares were delivered to the issuer to pay for the applicable withholding tax due upon vesting of certain restricted shares.
( 2)  Certain of these shares represent restricted stock issued under a Bloomin' Brands, Inc. stock plan and are subject to a risk of forfeiture. Of such shares, 5,000 continue to be subject to forfeiture under that plan as of the date of this filing.
( 3)  This stock option vests in four equal annual installments beginning on February 27, 2015.
( 4)  On April 6, 2010, the reporting person was granted a replacement stock option with an exercise price of $6.50 per share in exchange for an outstanding stock option with an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The original stock option was cancelled. Under the exchange program, the vested portion of the eligible stock options as of the grant date of the replacement stock options were exchanged for stock options that were fully vested.
