Explanation of Responses:
1. Owned by the reporting person as Trustee for the Samuel F. Thomas, Jr. 2006 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust created by the reporting person.
2. These options were granted on November 23, 2005 pursuant to the terms of the Chart Industries Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The options vest annually in equal installments over five years based on continued service.
3. The number of underlying securities is based on a 10.1088-for-one adjustment for the shares underlying options, which will occur immediately prior to the closing of the Company's initial public offering and assumes a pricing at the $20.00 mid-point of an estimated price range of between $19.00 and $21.00. This adjustment ratio, and consequently the number of underlying securities, is subject to change upon pricing of the Company's initial public offering. A $1.00 increase in the offering price to $21.00 per share would result in an increase of the cumulative adjustment ratio to approximately 10.1301-for-one, and a $1.00 decrease in the offering price to $19.00 per share would result in a reduction of the cumulative adjustment ratio to approximately 10.0853-for-one. The exercise price of the derivative security will be adjusted in accordance with the adjustment ratio. The final options (if different than reported herein) will be reflected in future filings made by the reporting person.
