Explanation of Responses:

1. The phantom stock units convert to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis.

2. Phantom stock units acquired upon deferral of cash compensation under the Libbey executive deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"), a 16b-3 plan. Each phantom stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of Libbey Inc. common stock. The number of phantom stock units acquired is equivalent to the dollar value of the cash compensation earned based on the market value of Libbey Inc. shares at the time the compensation was earned. The market value of Libbey Inc. shares is the closing price of the Libbey Inc. shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the day the compensation is earned. The units earned are settled in cash at such time as prescribed by the Plan.

3. Total includes 105.947 phantom stock units acquired during the years 2015 through 2017 under the Plan's dividend-equivalent reinvestment feature.
