Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Represents the credit of deferred compensation to the Reporting Person's deferred stock account under the Issuer's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan.
( 2)  Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock. The Reporting Person becomes entitled to the cash value of the phantom stock upon ceasing to be a director of the Issuer.
( 3)  The regularly scheduled crediting date for the deferred compensation was September 30, 2015. However, during the period beginning September 24, 2015 and ending October 1, 2015, the Reporting Person was subject to trading restrictions imposed under Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 104 of Regulation BTR under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of a blackout period under the Lowe's 401(k) Plan. See Form 8-K filed by the Issuer for Item 5.04 on August 20, 2015. The crediting of the deferred compensation was delayed until the expiration of the trading restrictions.
( 4)  Includes the credit of dividends to the Reporting Person's deferred stock account under the Issuer's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan.
