Explanation of Responses:
1. These Common shares were acquired upon the vesting of restricted share units that were granted November 1, 2013.
2. These Common shares were acquired upon the vesting of the dividend units accrued during the vesting period of the related restricted share units that were granted November 1, 2013.
3. Restricted share units ("RSUs") granted November 1, 2013. RSUs vest one year after the grant date. Under the Directors Deferred Compensation Sub-Plan, if receipt of shares upon vesting was deferred, RSUs convert to an equal number of share equivalent units. If receipt of shares upon vesting was not deferred, RSUs convert to unrestricted Nordson Common shares on a one-for-one basis.
4. Restricted share units ("RSU") accrued through dividend payments during the vesting period of the RSUs that were granted on November 1, 2013 pursuant to the 2012 Stock Incentive and Award Plan. The RSUs that accrued through dividend payments vest according to the related RSUs. Each RSU acquired from dividend payments is the economic equivalent to one share of Nordson common stock.
