Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents shares of Class A Common Stock purchased under the issuer's 401(K) payroll deduction plan.
2. On June 12, 2009 Ms. Bolens did a "net exercise" of 585 stock options (each with an expiration date of October 14, 2009). In that "net exercise", Ms. Bolens acquired 351 shares of common stock. The number of shares was net of the 234 shares that Brady withheld for the payment of the options' exercise price and taxes incident to the exercise.
3. The deferred compensation stock units were acquired under the Brady Corporation employee deferred compensation plan. Each deferred compensation unit is the economic equivalent of one share of Class A Common Stock. The deferred compensation units become payable in shares of Brady's Class A Common Stock upon the reporting persons cessation of service as an employee of Brady Corporation.
4. Options exercised pursuant to a net exercise.
