        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person is filing a second amendment to his Form 3, which was originally filed on September 20, 2016 and amended on September 26, 2016, in order to update the number of shares beneficially owned as of the date of the event requiring the filing of the Form 3. The amount of securities beneficially owned has been increased to include (i) 41,274 shares of WestRock common stock and (ii) 384 shares of WestRock common stock purchased under the employee stock purchase plan, each of which was inadvertently omitted from the reporting person's holdings reported in the previously filed Form 3 and amended Form 3.</footnote>
