Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents Class B Units of limited partnership interests ("Class B Units") in Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("PECO I OP"), issued as long term incentive compensation pursuant to the Issuer's equity based compensatory programs. At issuance, the Class B Units were subject to vesting, and did not have full parity with common units of limited partnership interest in PECO I OP ("OP Units") with respect to liquidating distributions, but upon the occurrence of certain events described in PECO I OP's partnership agreement, could over time achieve full parity with the OP Units for all purposes. Upon vesting and achieving full parity with OP Units, the Class B Units would convert into an equal number of OP Units.

2. Each OP Unit acquired upon conversion of a Class B Unit may be presented for redemption at the election of the holder, for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Issuer's Common Stock, except that the Issuer may, at its election, acquire each OP Unit so presented for one share of Common Stock.

3. The Class B Units are time-based awards and vest in four equal annual installments: 25% on January 1, 2019, 25% on January 1, 2020, 25% on January 1, 2021, and 25% on January 1, 2022, subject to continued employment.

4. 55,800 Phantom Units vested on January 1, 2018 and were settled for cash.
