Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	On June 12, 2012, 316,330 restricted stock units previously granted to the reporting person vested. That vesting was settled with the reporting person receiving 213,680 shares of Sealy Corporation common stock and surrendering the other 102,650 shares of Sealy Corporation common stock to Sealy Corporation for the payment of tax liabilities in connection with the vesting.
( 2)	The initial grant was for 1,000,000 restricted stock units with an annual growth rate of 8% until vested. The grant vests on an annual basis over 4 years. As a result of the annual 8% growth rate the grant, if fully vested, will result in 1,221,070 shares of Sealy Corporation common stock
