Explanation of Responses:
1. The cash-settled restricted stock units were scheduled to vest in two equal annual installments on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009; vesting was accelerated upon the change in control event resulting from the completion of the tender offer for all shares of common stock of The Mills Corporation by SPG-FCM Ventures, LLC. Upon vesting, the reporting person received from The Mills Corporation, for each cash-settled restricted stock unit, an amount equivalent to the cash value ($25.25) offered by SPG-FCM Ventures, LLC in the tender offer for one share of The Mills Corporation common stock.
2. These options had no value at the time of the completion of the tender offer for all shares of common stock of The Mills Corporation by SPG-FCM Ventures, LLC and were therefore cancelled by The Mills Corporation pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 12, 2007, by and among SPG-FCM Ventures, LLC, SPG-FCM Acquisition, Inc., SPG-FCM Acquisition, L.P., The Mills Corporation, and The Mills Limited Partnership.
3. The options were scheduled to vest in equal installments on September 14, 2007 and September 14, 2008.
4. The options were scheduled to vest in equal installments on June 7, 2008 and June 7, 2009.
