(1) See Remarks for Footnote 1
(2) Pentland's obligations under the Forward are secured by a subordinate pledge to Buyer of the same 700,000 Exchangeable Shares. The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable at the option of the holder for shares of Class B common stock of Molson Coors ("Class B Shares") on a one-for-one basis. Under the pledges, Pentland may exchange the Exchangeable Shares for a like number of Class B Shares obtained in exchange for Exchangeable Shares, which will become subject to the pledges (any shares subject to the pledges, whether Exchangeable Shares or Class B Shares, the "Pledged Shares"). Pentland has retained voting rights in the Pledged Shares and the right to any dividends or distributions paid in cash on the Pledged Shares in any year, up to $0.96 per share. Any cash dividends and cash distributions in excess of that amount are payable by Pentland to Buyer.
(3) The purchase date of the Forward is December 8, 2014 (the "Purchase Date"), and settlement of the Forward will occur three business days after the Purchase Date. The Forward provides for cash settlement. However, Pentland may elect to switch from cash settlement to settling the Forward by delivering 700,000 Class B Shares to Buyer (and, depending upon the availability of certain exemptions from the prospectus requirements under Canadian securities laws, elect to switch from physical settlement to cash settlement, and vice versa). Any such election must be made at least a specified number of days prior to the Purchase Date, which depends on whether the Pledged Shares comprise Exchangeable Shares or Class B Shares and on certain Canadian securities law considerations.
(4) Under the Forward, the "Relevant Price" will equal the average of the volume-weighted average per share price of the Class B Shares for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the Purchase Date, and the "Forward Price" will equal the Relevant Price, subject to a cap price of $54.22 ("Cap Price") and a floor price of $41.00 ("Floor Price"). Accordingly, (i) if the Relevant Price is greater than or equal to the Cap Price, the Forward Price will be equal to the Cap Price, (ii) if the Relevant Price is less than or equal to the Floor Price, the Forward Price will be equal to the Floor Price, and (iii) if the Relevant Price is between the Floor Price and the Cap Price, the Forward Price will be equal to the Relevant Price.
(5) The Forward Price is subject further to downward adjustment by the value of any dividends or distributions on the Pledged Shares made other than in cash.
(6) Under cash settlement of the Forward: (i) if the Relevant Price is greater than the Forward Price, Pentland will pay Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Relevant Price and the Forward Price, multiplied by 700,000; (ii) if the Relevant Price is less than the Forward Price, then Buyer will pay Pentland an amount equal to the difference between the Forward Price and the Relevant Price, multiplied by 700,000; and (iii) if the Relevant Price is equal to the Forward Price, then no payment will be due from either party, and the Forward will terminate. If the Forward is settled by physical delivery, Pentland will deliver 700,000 Class B Shares to Buyer, and Buyer will pay Pentland an amount equal to 700,000 multiplied by the Forward Price.
 
Remarks:
On December 1, 2009, Pentland Securities (1981) Inc. ("Pentland") entered into an OTC forward contract and a related
 confirmation, supplemented by a notice dated December 4, 2009, that provided the price terms of the contract (collectively,
 the "Forward") with an unaffiliated third party buyer ("Buyer") as part of a monetization transaction (the "Transaction").
 Pentland is owned by Lincolnshire Holdings Limited ("Lincolnshire") and another shareholder, and Lincolnshire is owned by
 the reporting person.  As part of the Transaction, an affiliate of Buyer ("Bank") has agreed to make a loan to Pentland in
 the principal amount of US $22,918,500 (the "Loan"), the principal of which and accrued interest thereon is payable in cash
 at the settlement of the Forward.  Pentland's obligations under the Loan will be secured by a senior pledge to Bank of
 700,000 Class B exchangeable shares of Molson Coors Canada Inc. ("Exchangeable Shares"), a subsidiary of Molson Coors
 Brewing Company ("Molson Coors"), and Pentland's rights under the Forward.
