Explanation of Responses:

1. On February 13, 2016, 789 shares of PNC Common Stock vested following the approval of the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the PNC Board of Directors on January 28, 2016 of a payout of 106.81% based on performance against established criteria of previously granted performance based restricted share units to the reporting person. The grant was made on February 13, 2014 and was expressed as a "target" number of share units, with payout contingent on PNC having achieved related performance criteria. The share units pay out, if at all, in shares of PNC Common Stock, with any accrued dividend equivalents being paid out in cash. Subject to the Committee's discretion, the target number of share units may be reduced (down to 75% of target) or increased (up to 125% of target), based on PNC total shareholder return for the prior fiscal year.
