Explanation of Responses:
1. Performance share units (PSU) were granted to the reporting person pursuant to The Taubman Company 2008 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended. Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive, upon vesting, shares of the Company's common stock ranging from 0-300% of the PSU based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to that of a peer group, plus a cash payment equal to the aggregate cash dividends that would have been paid on such shares of common stock from the date of grant of the award to the vesting date. The PSU vested on March 1, 2018 with a payout ratio of 124%, which was certified by the Company's Compensation Committee on March 7, 2018.
2. Mr. Taubman disclaims all beneficial interest in the shares of common stock owned by such limited liability company beyond his pecuniary interest therein.
3. Mr. Taubman disclaims all beneficial interest in the shares of common stock owned in the UTMA accounts for the benefit of his children.
