She is therefore deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 291,555,086 shares of the Company's common stock held by the SMART Plan, or approximately 9.0% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
Ms. Johnson has sole voting and investment power over 569,451 shares of common stock which are held directly, sole voting and investment power over 25,519 shares of common stock which are held indirectly, sole voting and shared investment power over 316,714 shares of common stock which are held indirectly and shared voting and investment power over 627,936 shares of common stock which are held indirectly.

Participants in the SMART Plan have the right to direct the investment and disposition of the funds held in their plan accounts into and out of the Company's common stock through the Publix Stock Fund offered under the SMART Plan, subject to certain limitations. Vested participants also have the right upon termination, pursuant to the terms of the SMART Plan, to elect an in-kind distribution of the Company's common stock to the extent of their holdings in the Publix Stock Fund. Accordingly, any dividends on the Company's common stock and the proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock are credited to participants who have elected to invest in and/or dispose of such common stock.
Ms. Johnson is the trustee of trusts that hold an aggregate of 87,492,874 shares of the Company's common stock for which she does not have a pecuniary interest.
