the Board of Directors (the &#147;<U>Board</U>&#148;) of Tempur Sealy International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;<U>Tempur Sealy</U>&#148; or the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;), authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a
&#147;<U>Right</U>&#148;) for each outstanding share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the &#147;<U>Common Shares</U>&#148;), of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on February&nbsp;20, 2017 (the
&#147;<U>Record Date</U>&#148;). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-thousandth</FONT> of a share of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per
share (the &#147;<U>Preferred Shares</U>&#148;), of the Company at an exercise price of $90.00 per one <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-thousandth</FONT> of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment (the &#147;<U>Exercise Price</U>&#148;). The
complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the &#147;<U>Rights Agreement</U>&#148;), dated as of February&nbsp;8, 2017, between the Company and American Stock Transfer&nbsp;&amp; Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (the

(including a group of persons that are acting in concert with each other) that acquires twenty percent (20%) or more of the Common Shares without the approval of the Board. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of
the Rights may be to render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination involving the Company that is not approved by the Board. The Rights Agreement is not intended to interfere with any merger,
tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by the Board. Nor does the Rights Agreement prevent the Board from considering any offer that it considers to be in the best interest of its stockholders. </P>

may occur from a stock dividend, a stock split or a reclassification of the Preferred Shares or Common Shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With certain exceptions,
no adjustments to the Exercise Price will be made until the cumulative adjustments amount to at least one percent (1%) of the Exercise Price. No fractional Preferred Shares will be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made
based on the current market price of the Preferred Shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Taxes </I></P>

exercisable or upon redemption of the Rights, stockholders may recognize taxable income. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Authority of the Board </I></P>

detaching and becoming exercisable as a result of a particular transaction, pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Board, or any future Board, would not be subject to restrictions such as those commonly known as &#147;dead-hand,&#148;
