Explanation of Responses:

1. The reporting person entered into a European style collar arrangement before he was elected an officer of FTI Consulting, Inc. The counterparty to the collar filed for bankruptcy in October 2008. The reporting person issued notice of termination of the collar due to the default of the counterparty occasioned by bankruptcy filing. On May 13, 2009, the bankruptcy court approved a settlement that ordered the termination of the collar upon payment of a settlement amount of $400,000 by Mr. Kelly and the return to Mr. Kelly of 103,643 shares of common stock of FTI that had been pledged to the counterparty. All contingencies to the settlement were finally performed as of May 18, 2009.
