        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person participates in the Woodward Executive Benefit Plan (Plan). Pursuant to an election made under the Plan, each phantom stock unit (PSU) distributed under the Plan on 6/15/2021 entitled the reporting person to receive on share of Woodward, Inc. (Company) common stock, less shares not distributed to the reporting person to cover tax liabilities. See footnote 3. The reporting person received a net distribution of 12,328 shares of Company common stock. PSUs are accrued under the Plan and are to be settled in 100% stock on a 1-for-1 basis at the distribution date specified at the time of election. Each PSU is the economic equivalent of one share of Company common stock. The total shown represents the dollar amount of deferrals divided by the current share price and, therefore, the number of shares reported may fluctuate from period to period. The total shown also includes PSUs acquired in connection with dividend re-investments and other acquisitions made under the Plan</footnote>
