        <footnote id="F1">Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger among Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc., PHX Acquisition Corp. and Ashworth, Inc. (the &quot;Merger Agreement&quot;), each of these shares was converted into the right to receive a cash payment of $1.90 per share.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This option, which provided for vesting in two equal annual installments beginning on October 24, 2008, was cancelled pursuant to the Merger Agreement. No cash payment was made in respect thereof because the exercise price per share of the option was greater that the per share merger consideration of $1.90.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Allan H. Fletcher owns 100% of Fletcher Leisure Group, Inc. which owns 100% of Fletcher Leisure Group, Ltd.</footnote>
