Explanation of Responses:

(1) On April 2, 2003, pursuant to a stock trading plan previously adopted under Rule 10b5-1, Mr. Fireman and his wife entered into a variable prepaid forward contract (the "Contract") with respect to 1,000,000 shares of Reebok International Ltd. Common Stock (the "Common Stock"). The Contract settles on April 3, 2006 (the "Settlement Date"). On the Settlement Date, the Firemans will, at their option, either (a) deliver an aggregate number of shares up to the 1,000,000 shares subject to the Contract or (b) retain all or a portion of such 1,000,000 shares and deliver the cash equivalent of any shares so retained. In consideration of the foregoing arrangement, the Firemans received a payment on April 2, 2003 of $27.3 million. If the closing price of the Common Stock on the Settlement Date is greater than $33.00, the Firemans will receive additional proceeds equal to the number of shares subject to the Contract multiplied by the difference between such closing price (up to a maximum closing price of $46.20) and $33.00.
