Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Because the stock fund component of the 401(k) Plan is accounted for in unit accounting, the number of share equivalents varies based on the closing price of SunTrust stock on the applicable measurement date.
(2)  The phantom stock units were acquired under the SunTrust Banks, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan and convert to common stock on a one-to-one basis.
(3)  Granted pursuent to the SunTrust Banks, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan.
(4)  Represents time-vested restricted stock units granted on February 9, 2016 under the sunTrust Banks, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan. The plan is exempt under Rule 16b-3. Units will be settled in shares. The award agreement contains tax withholding features which allow us to withhold units to satisfy withholding obligations.
(5)  Represents performance stock which was granted on February 21, 2014 and which vested on February 21, 2017. Award is settled in common stock. Because exceptional performance resulted in the award vesting at greater than 130% of target, the amount that vested in excess of 130% is subject to a one year deferral.
(6)  Represents time-vested restricted stock units granted on February 13, 2018 under the SunTrust Banks, Inc. 2009 Stock Plan. The plan is exempt under Rule 16b-3. Units will be settled in shares. The award agreement contains tax withholding features which allow us to withhold units to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
