Explanation of Responses:

1. Includes amount and price of shares acquired in exempt transactions pursuant to a Shareholder Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

2. Average price of shares sold, with the sale price ranging from $35.00 to $35.10 per share.

3. Consists of shares held under the Company's 401(k) plan, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. RSVP Profit Sharing Plan, including 43.244 shares acquired in transactions occurring between 12/31/02 and 12/31/03, which are exempt from Section 16(b) pursuant to Rule 16b-3 and exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 16a-3(f)(1)(i)(B). The information in this report is based on a plan statement dated as of 12/31/03. From time to time the plan administrator collects maintenance fees related to the RSVP Plan, which may result in the number of shares held by a participant in the RSVP Plan declining by a marginal amount.
