Explanation of Responses:

1. Between 10/1/2016 and 6/30/19 the reporting person acquired 425.032 shares of Chemical Financial Corporation common stock through dividend reinvestment.

2. The reporting person disclaims any beneficial ownership of all shares owned on an indirect basis. The filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that the reporting person is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934 or for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of the securities owned on an indirect basis.

3. Stock units issued under the Chemical Financial Corporation Directors' Deferred Stock Plan were converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis in a lump sum in connection with the merger of TCF Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, with and into TCF Financial Corporation, a Michigan corporation (formerly known as Chemical Financial Corporation). The reporting person will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from such conversion.
