<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear Stockholder: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have circulated proxy
materials for Kirby Corporation&#146;s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April&nbsp;26, 2016. ISS Proxy Advisory Services has concluded that one of the nominees for election as a director, William M. Waterman, is not independent
because he was the CEO of an unrelated company Kirby acquired in 2012 (Penn Maritime Inc.) and, since he serves on Kirby&#146;s Governance Committee, has recommended voting against Mr.&nbsp;Waterman&#146;s reelection as a director. Our Board of
Directors disagrees with the ISS position and strongly reaffirms its recommendation that stockholders vote FOR Mr.&nbsp;Waterman&#146;s election as a director for the following reasons. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">1. Mr.&nbsp;Waterman and his family sold their entire interest in Penn Maritime and affiliated companies to Kirby in 2012 and
Mr.&nbsp;Waterman resigned from all director and officer positions he held with Penn Maritime and affiliated companies contemporaneously with the acquisition by Kirby. Since then, Penn Maritime has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Kirby and the
only interest of any kind that Mr.&nbsp;Waterman has in Penn Maritime is as a director and substantial stockholder of Kirby, which fully aligns his interests with those of Kirby&#146;s stockholders and presents no actual or potential conflict of
interest that could affect his independent judgment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2. The New York Stock Exchange, not ISS, establishes the independence requirements
and standards for Kirby&#146;s Board of Directors. Mr.&nbsp;Waterman satisfies the NYSE independence standards, which differ from ISS guidelines and, unlike the ISS guidelines, do not disqualify a former executive officer of an acquired company from
being considered independent. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">3. Glass Lewis, another leading proxy advisory firm, has recommended voting FOR Mr.&nbsp;Waterman, finding
no issues for concern about any of Kirby&#146;s director nominees. ISS has not articulated any rationale or logic for its conclusion that all former executives of acquired companies are not independent. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">4. Historically Kirby&#146;s principal business has been inland marine transportation, but we have expanded into coastal or offshore marine
transportation in the last five years with several acquisitions, including Penn Maritime. Following his long and successful career in the coastal marine transportation business, Mr.&nbsp;Waterman brings to the Kirby Board valuable industry expertise
in a relatively new and growing part of Kirby&#146;s operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Bill Waterman has no conflict of interest because of his prior position
with Penn Maritime, he is independent under applicable NYSE rules and he adds valuable industry experience to the Kirby Board. We disagree with the ISS voting recommendation and encourage you to vote FOR Bill Waterman. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Thank you for your support of Kirby. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P><DIV ALIGN="right">
