("Ashland") distributed to its stockholders on May 12, 2017 (the "Distribution Date") 170,000,000 shares of Valvoline Inc. common stock as a pro rata dividend (the "Distribution"). Pursuant to the terms of the applicable equity compensation plan, the Reporting Person was entitled to receive the number of shares of restricted stock equal to the quotient of (x) the closing price of Ashland common stock on the Distribution Date and (y) the simple arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average price of Ashland common stock for each of the ten consecutive trading days immediately following the Distribution Date (such quotient, the "Equity Award Adjustment Ratio") for each such share of restricted stock.
(2)  Includes 224 shares of unvested restricted stock.
(3)  Based on Employee Savings Plan information as of June 5, 2017, the latest date for which such information is reasonably available.
(4)  Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a right to receive one (1) share of Ashland Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the LTIP Plan, each such time-based, stock settled restricted stock unit was further adjusted into the number of time-based, stock settled restricted stock units equal to the Equity Award Adjustment Ratio.
(6)  The restricted stock units described in clause (a) of footnote (5) vest upon the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Reporting Person's awards of restricted stock units immediately prior to the Distribution.

(7)  Balance includes 3 additional restricted stock units acquired in lieu of cash dividends, 2 of which were paid on December 15, 2016, and 1 of which was paid on March 15, 2017.
