Explanation of Responses:

1. Mr. Vitale provided broker discretion to execute any combination of transactions that would result in the exercise of 25,000 stock options, and selling only enough shares to satisfy the exercise price of the stock options and applicable taxes. The remaining shares from the option exercise were held.

2. The reported price in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $108.205 to $108.545 per share. Mr. Vitale undertakes to provide to the issuer, any security holder of the issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.

3. The option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock was awarded on May 29, 2012 under the Post Holdings, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan in a transaction exempt under Rule 16b-3 and vested in equal increments over three years. 50,000 stock options remain exercisable under the award.
