Explanation of Responses:
1. A total of 11,032.515 shares have accrued to the reporting person's account under the Company's 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan.
2. Limited Stock Appreciation Rights ("LSARs") are granted in tandem with stock options. LSARs become exercisable only following a change-in-control of the Company in lieu of related options and are exercisable only for cash. LSARs terminate when the related options are exercised or terminated.
3. A total of 29,732.645 shares are held in the reporting person's account under the KCS Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
4. On November 16, 2006, the reporting person entered into Prepaid Variable Forward Purchase Agreements ("Agreements") with UBS Securities LLC ("Buyer") . The Agreements obligate the reporting person to deliver to Buyer up to 350,000 Common Shares in the aggregate (or an equivalent amount of cash, if elected by him) on the Maturity Date of the Agreements (i.e., in December, 2009, or an earlier date if the parties agree to terminate the Agreement early). In exchange for assuming this obligation, the reporting person received a cash payment equal to approximately $7.9 million as of the date of entering into the Agreements (the actual amount to be determined upon completion of certain hedging transactions by Buyer). The reporting person pledged 350,000 Common Shares (the "Pledged Shares") to secure his obligations under the Agreements, and retained voting rights in the Pledged Shares during the period of the pledge. (Continued in footnote 5.)
5. The number of Common Shares to be delivered to Buyer on the Maturity Date, if the reporting person does not elect a cash settlement, is to be determined as follows, on the basis of prices of the Common Shares that are subject to adjustment for events specified in the Agreements: * If the price per share of the Common Shares on the Maturity Date is less than or equal to the volume weighted average price at which Buyer completes its hedge execution (the "Initial Price"), the reporting person will deliver to the Buyer the entire amount of Pledged Shares; * If the price per share of the Common Shares on the Maturity Date is between 100% of the Initial Price (the "Lower Limit") and 140% of the Initial Price (the "Upper Limit"), the reporting person will deliver to the Buyer a number of shares determined by multiplying the number of the Pledged Shares by the Lower Limit, and dividing the resulting number by the price of the Common Shares on the Maturity Date; or (Continued in footnote 6.)
6. * If the price per share of the Common Shares on the Maturity Date is greater than the Upper Limit, the reporting person will deliver to the Buyer a number of shares determined by reference to a formula specified in the Agreements that would result in the reporting person being obligated to deliver fewer than the number of Pledged Shares.
7. Includes 866 shares acquired on January 1, 2008 through the KCS Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Remarks:
The reporting person no longer has a reportable beneficial interest in 412 shares of Kansas City Southern common stock owned by his son and included in the reporting person's prior ownership reports. The reporting person no longer has a reportable beneficial interest in 4,000 shares of Kansas City Southern common stock held by a trust for the benefit of his son and included in the reporting person's prior ownership reports.
