        <footnote id="F1">The Reporting Person elected to convert certain deferred equity awards payable in shares of Babcock &amp; Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (&quot;BWE&quot;) that were received in connection with the spin-off of BWE from BWX Technologies, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) into units payable in shares of the Company.  The conversion was based on the respective closing sales prices of BWE and Company common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the conversion date (2/29/2016).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Units are 100% vested and are deferred. In accordance with the Reporting Person's deferral election, shares will be delivered to the Reporting Person in either a lump sum or in installments beginning on the Reporting Person's termination of service on the Board of Directors of the Company, depending on the Reporting Person's deferral election.</footnote>
