(1) Deemed acquisition and disposition to the issuer of shares underlying previously granted Restricted Stock Units upon settlement in cash of such Units (see footnotes 4 and 5). No shares were actually issued to the reporting person, nor did the reporting person dispose of any shares.
(2) Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Albany International Corp. 2003 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "Restricted Stock Unit Plan"). Each Restricted Stock Unit entitles the holder to receive the cash equivalent of one share of Class A Common Stock at the time of vesting or, in the event that the holder elects to defer payment, at such later time elected in accordance with the Restricted Stock Unit Plan.
(3) 1,200 Restricted Stock Units (plus related dividend units) vest on each April 1, beginning April 1, 2007.
(4) Restricted Stock Units granted on February 16, 2007 pursuant to the Albany International Corp. 2005 Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). Each Restricted Stock Unit award entitles the holder to receive a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the cash equivalent of such shares, or a combination of cash and shares, in each case in accordance with a settlement schedule.
(5) Reflects settlement in cash of 25% of the reported units (plus related dividend units) on March 1, 2007. 50% of the reported units (plus related dividend units) will be settled and payable on or about March 1, 2008, and the final 25% of the reported units (plus related dividend units) will be settled and payable on or about March 1, 2009. Each of the 2008 and 2009 payments will be half in cash, half in shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.
