        <footnote id="F1">Represents the number of shares of common stock of Zep Inc. (&quot;Zep&quot;) the Reporting Person will receive after giving effect to the dividend distribution from Acuity Brands, Inc. (&quot;AYI&quot;) pursuant to the spin-off of its specialty chemical business (the &quot;Spin-Off&quot;).  The Reporting Person became entitled to receive one share of Zep common stock for each two shares of AYI as of the record date, October 17, 2007 .</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Due to an administrative error, the original form reported that the total direct shares held included 2,210 time-vesting restricted shares.  The correct amount of total direct shares held should have stated that it included only 1,759 time-vesting restricted shares after giving effect to the dividend distribution from AYI pursuant to the Spin-Off.</footnote>
