(1)	On April 16, 2007, People's United Financial, Inc. ("People's United") became the holding company of People's Bank pursuant to a conversion and related stock offering. As a result of the conversion and offering, each share of People's Bank common stock previously owned by the reporting person was exchanged for 2.100 shares (the "exchange ratio") of People's United common stock. In addition, each outstanding employee option to buy shares of People's Bank common stock has been exchanged for an employee option to buy shares of People's United common stock pursuant to the exchange ratio (with a corresponding adjustment to the exercise price), and each share of People's Bank common stock owned indirectly through the People's Bank 401(k) plan has been exchanged for shares of People's United common stock in accordance with the exchange ratio. In addition, each investment unit accrued under the People's Bank excess benefits plan was adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio.
(2)	Includes 41,878 shares owned indirectly through the People's Bank 401(k) Plan (including 110 shares acquired through dividend reinvestment). Information is based on 3/31/07 Plan statement, adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio described above in note 1.
(3)	Reflects the date of grant by the predecessor to the issuer. See note 1 above.
(4)	Exercisable in annual increments beginning on the second anniversary (50%), third anniversary (25%), and fourth anniversary (25%) of the date of grant.
