Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents the forfeiture of a portion of performance-based restricted shares that were granted on January 26, 2010, due to the relevant performance target having been only partially achieved.
2. Total has been adjusted to add back 40,644 shares previously reported as having been withheld for taxes in respect of the vesting of restricted shares reported on the Reporting Person's Form 4 filed on January 27, 2011. The January 26, 2011 vesting of restricted shares reported on that Form 4 resulted from an administrative error and is being reversed, together with the related tax withholdings.
3. Represents shares withheld for tax purposes upon vesting of restricted stock grants.
4. Reporting person received the award under the Live Nation, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.
5. Represents a restricted stock award. If certain financial and/or operational performance targets specified by the Company's Compensation Committee are achieved for the year of the grant, up to 50% of the award will vest on March 31, 2012 and up to the remaining 50% will vest on March 31, 2013.
