Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents shares of Medtronic plc ("New Medtronic"), including deferred units credited under a Medtronic, Inc. equity-based plan to be paid in Medtronic, Inc. common stock upon the director's resignation or retirement, acquired pursuant to the merger (the "Merger") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Medtronic with and into Medtronic, Inc. ("Medtronic"), with Medtronic surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Medtronic, which was consummated after and conditioned on New Medtronic's acquisition of Covidien plc, by means of a "scheme of arrangement", an Irish statutory procedure under the Companies Act of 1963. At the effective time of the Merger, each Medtronic common share (including each deferred unit) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive one New Medtronic ordinary share. Under the terms of the Merger, the director received cash in lieu of fractional shares of New Medtronic and deferred units were rounded up to the nearest whole share.

2. This option to purchase 2,671 New Medtronic ordinary shares for $29.96 per share, which was fully vested at the effective time of the Merger, was received in the Merger and represents the conversion of 2,671 Medtronic common stock shares for $29.96 per share. This New Medtronic stock option has the same terms and conditions as the original Medtronic stock option.

3. This option to purchase 1,813 New Medtronic ordinary shares for $44.13 per share, which was fully vested at the effective time of the Merger, was received in the Merger and represents the conversion of 1,813 Medtronic common stock shares for $44.13 per share. This New Medtronic stock option has the same terms and conditions as the original Medtronic stock option.

4. This phantom stock was received in the Merger and represents the conversion of 21,212.689 Medtronic phantom stock shares. It was assumed by New Medtronic with the same terms and conditions as the original Medtronic phantom stock. Shares of phantom stock and dividend equivalents are payable in cash upon retirement or the reporting person's termination. The reporting person may transfer his phantom stock account into an alterntative investment account at any time. Under the terms of the Merger, phantom stock units were rounded up to the nearest whole share.
