Explanation of Responses:
(1) On May 13, 2020, the reporting person entered into a non-recourse loan agreement ("Non-Recourse Loan") with a generation-skipping trust ("GST") for which his spouse serves as trustee, pursuant to which the reporting person transferred 74,410 shares of Discover Financial Services ("Shares") to the GST. In return, the GST provided to the reporting person a promissory note for the value of the Shares transferred, using the fair market value of the Shares as of close of trading on the transfer date. On August 6, 2021, the Shares underlying the Non-Recourse Loan were returned to the reporting person. The cancellation of the long call option is exempt from Section 16 pursuant to Rule 16b-6(d) and 16a-4(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(2) The Non-Recourse Loan has a term of 9 years, subject to extension by the reporting person.
