The reporting person owns units in the McCormick Stock Fund in the McCormick 401(k) Retirement Plan and the number of shares reported as beneficially owned is based on the market value of the reporting person's McCormick Stock Fund divided by the closing stock price of the common stock of McCormick on date indicated. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the option becomes exercisable at each of the first four (4) grant anniversaries. The reported Restricted Stock Units are part of an award that vested 50% on March 28, 2008 and the remaining units will vest on March 29, 2008. The reported Restricted Stock Units entitle the reporting person to receive, on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date, a distribution of common stock equal to 50% of the grant. Once vested, the Restricted Stock Units are settled in an equal number of shares of Common Stock. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. W.
