Explanation of Responses:

1. Shares represent a performance-based restricted stock unit award granted on February 23, 2021. The Company's Compensation Committee determined on February 23, 2022, that the performance criteria related to this award were satisfied. One-third of the shares vested on February 23, 2022, and one-third of the shares vest on February 23, 2023. The remaining one-third will vest on February 23, 2024, and is subject to adjustment (positive or negative) for long-term performance which is based on the comparison of the Company's total shareholder return compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") to the total shareholder return CAGR of each of the companies in the peer group, as specified within the award agreement, over the measurement period starting on January 1, 2021, through to December 31, 2023.

2. These shares were previously reported as indirectly beneficially owned under the Stevenson 2010 Living Trust but were contributed to a grantor retained annuity trust ("GRAT 2021") on December 16, 2021.

3. On December 9, 2020, the reporting person contributed 22,100 shares of TMO common stock from his Stevenson 2010 Living Trust to a grantor retained annuity trust ("GRAT"). On December 16, 2021, 7,938 shares were distributed by the GRAT to the Stevenson 2010 Living Trust and will continue to be reported in this Form 4 as indirectly owned.
