Explanation of Responses:
1. Disposed of pursuant to a merger between Viacom Inc. and Viacom Merger Sub Inc. (the Merger), in exchange for 0.5 shares of CBS Corporation Class B common stock and 0.5 shares of New Viacom Corp. (New Viacom) Class B common stock for each share of Viacom Class B common stock, with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of CBS Corporation Class B common stock and New Viacom Class B common stock. On January 3, 2006, the first business day following the effective time of the Merger, the opening price of CBS Corporation Class B common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $25.60 per share and the opening price of New Viacom Class B common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $41.12 per share. Viacom Inc. changed its name to CBS Corporation upon completion of the Merger.
2. These shares are held in three separate trusts for the benefit of the reporting person's children. The reporting person is a co-trustee of these trusts.
3. In the Merger, each grant of stock options to buy Viacom Class B common stock was converted into an equal number of stock options to buy CBS Corporation Class B common stock and New Viacom Class B common stock determined by multiplying the number of outstanding stock options included in the grant before the Merger by 0.488609. The per share exercise price of the converted stock options was determined by dividing the pre-Merger exercise price by 1.273438 for the CBS options and by 0.792802 for the New Viacom options.
4. Phantom Common Stock Units are paid out after the Director's retirement from the Board and are settled in cash. Each Phantom Class A Common Stock Unit was the economic equivalent of one share of Viacom Class A common stock and each Phantom Class B Common Stock Unit was the economic equivalent of one share of Viacom Class B common stock.
5. In the Merger, each Viacom Phantom Class A Common Stock Unit was deemed to be exchanged for 0.5 CBS Corporation Phantom Class A Common Stock Units and 0.5 New Viacom Corp. (New Viacom) Phantom Class A Common Stock Units; and each Viacom Phantom Class B Common Stock Unit was deemed to be exchanged for 0.5 CBS Corporation Phantom Class B Common Stock Units and 0.5 New Viacom Phantom Class B Common Stock Units. On January 3, 2006, the first business day following the effective time of the Merger, the opening price of CBS Corporation Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $25.60 per share, the opening price of CBS Corporation Class B common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $25.60 per share, the opening price of New Viacom Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $40.00 per share and the opening price of New Viacom Class B common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $41.12 per share.
