Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Restricted TRG Profits Units, Relative TSR Performance-based TRG Profits Units, and NOI Performance-based TRG Profits Units (collectively, "Profits Units") converted to units of limited partnership interest in The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership (TRG) (Units of Limited Partnership) on April 1, 2019 upon satisfaction of the tax-driven requirements.
(2)  Under the Company's Continuing Offer to employees covered by the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plans and certain other partners in TRG, each Unit of Limited Partnership held by an offeree is exchangeable for one share of the Company's common stock.
(3)  Upon conversion of the Profits Units to Units of Limited Partnership, the holder has the right to purchase one share of the voting Series B Non-Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of Taubman Centers, Inc. (TCO) (Series B Preferred Stock) for each Unit of Limited Partnership held. The reporting person purchased the same amount of Series B Preferred Stock upon conversion.
(4)  To avoid duplication, excludes the same number of Series B Preferred Stock held by such persons, which under specified circumstances can be converted into common stock of TCO at a ratio of one share of common stock for each 14,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
(5)  Not applicable.
