        <footnote id="F1">Represents trust shares (the &quot;Trust Shares&quot;) of beneficial interests in P&amp;O Princess Voting Trust (the &quot;Trust&quot;).  In connection with the dual listed company transaction between Carnival plc (fka P&amp;O Princess Cruises plc) and Carnival Corporation (the &quot;DLC Transaction&quot;), Carnival plc issued one special voting share to the Trust and, following a series of transactions, the Trust Shares were distributed to holders of common stock of Carnival Corporation (the &quot;Carnival Corporation Common Stock&quot;).  Since completion of the DLC Transaction on April 17, 2003, if Carnival Corporation issues Carnival Corporation Common Stock to a person, the Trust will issue an equivalent number of Trust Shares to such person.  The Trust Shares are paired with shares of Carnival Corporation Common Stock and are represented by the same stock certificate.  The Trust Shares represent a beneficial interest in the Carnival plc special voting share.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Grant of restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) made pursuant to the Carnival Corporation 2020 Stock Plan. Grant of RSUs represent a hypothetical interest in Carnival Corporation common stock. The RSUs will vest on a 3-year pro-rata basis on the anniversary dates of the grant. The RSUs will accumulate dividend equivalents and may only be settled in shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The grant was approved by the Compensation Committee as a total value to be received in the form of RSUs.  The Compensation Committee also approved that the number of RSUs were determined by dividing the value by the closing price on date of grant.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">This transaction was executed in multiple trades at prices ranging from $20.93 to $21.005. The price reported reflects the average sale price. The reporting person hereby undertakes to provide upon request to the SEC staff, the issuer or a security holder of the issuer full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which the transaction was effected.</footnote>
