Explanation of Responses:
1. The Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) were issued on August 6, 2009 pursuant to the THQ Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan and vest 1/12 each month for the 12-months following the date of issuance. The DSUs are subject to forfeiture and will be settled on September 6, 2010 in shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, unless the participant has elected to defer receipt of DSUs pursuant to the THQ Inc. Stock Unit Deferred Compensation Plan.
2. These shares are held of record by Techfund Capital Management LLC. Mr. Whims is a managing member of Techfund Capital Management LLC and accordingly may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares held by Techfund Capital Management LLC. Mr. Whims disclaims ownership of such shares.
3. The DSUs were eligible to be settled on September 6, 2010; however, the settlement date was delayed by one day due to the Labor Day holiday on September 6, 2010.
