(1) Amount listed is the most up-to-date information available regarding holdings in the Company Stock Fund under the Worthington Industries, Inc. Deferred Profit Sharing Plan and is based on a plan statement as of 4/30/2018.
(2) The accounts track common shares on a one-for-one basis.
(3) Prior to October 1, 2014, the account balances related to the theoretical Company common share investment option could be immediately transferred to other investment options under the terms of the deferred compensation plan.
(4) The Worthington Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), provides that effective October 1, 2014 and thereafter, any amount credited in a participant's account to the phantom stock fund (i.e. theoretical Company common shares deemed investment option) may not be transferred to an alternative deemed investment option under the Plan until distribution from the Plan. Distributions are made only in common shares of the Company and generally commence upon leaving employment with the Company.
(5) The amount shown reflects additional theoretical common shares (i.e. phantom stock) which were credited pursuant to the dividend reinvestment feature of the Worthington Industries, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan.
