(1) The shares of phantom stock were previously reported in Table I as shares of Common Stock. They have been moved to Table II to reflect that they are derivative securities and the share number has been updated to reflect the correct number of shares. Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of DST Systems, Inc. common stock. The phantom shares were issued pursuant to the Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. ("BFDS") Officers Deferred Compensation Plan. Phantom shares are settled in cash on a schedule determined by the Reporting Person during his service with BFDS.
