Explanation of Responses:
1. The director has elected to receive a stock grant in lieu of retainer, meeting fees or other cash compensation to which he or she would otherwise be entitled. The number of shares under the stock grant is equal to the amount of fees otherwise payable to the director divided by the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the payment date, rounded to the nearest whole share. The director is not permitted to sell or transfer the underlying shares of stock received until he or she ceases to be a director of the Company.
2. 1 for 1
3. This director has elected to defer payment under the Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Program (the "Program") of the restricted stock units issued under the Circuit City Stores, Inc. 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan. Vested deferred shares are held as "phantom stock" in a phantom stock account. Dividends on vested and unvested shares will be reinvested until distributions are made. The shares underlying the phantom stock units in the director's account will be distributed to the director when he or she ceases to serve as director of the Company.
4. The Units vest in three equal installments beginning on June 21, 2006.
