1. On July 1, 2004, ESL Limited, a Bermuda corporation ("Limited") contributed its limited partnership interests in Institutional to ESL in exchange for a limited partnership interest in ESL, following which (i) Institutional distributed 705,898 shares of Kmart Common Stock, Convertible Notes convertible, at the election of the holders thereof, into 100,883 shares of Kmart Common Stock and 108,875 Kmart Options to ESL and (ii) CRK I was dissolved and made liquidating distributions of 6,511,426 and 24 shares of Kmart Common Stock to ESL and CRK Partners, respectively and Convertible Notes convertible, at the election of the holders thereof, into 925,971 of Kmart Common Stock and 999,337 Kmart Options to ESL. As a result of the transactions discussed in this note 1, certain securities that may have been deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned are now owned directly by the entities indicated.
2. These securities are owned by CRK Partners II, LP ("CRK II").
3. These securities are owned by CRK Partners, LLC ("CKR LLC").

5. These securities may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by CRK LLC. See note 7.
6. These securities may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by ESL. See note 7.
7. This Form 4 is filed on behalf of a group consisting of CRK II, ESL, CRK LLC and Edward S. Lampert. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(2), ESL, CRK LLC and Mr. Lampert may be deemed indirect beneficial owners of certain of the securities reported on this Form 4. CRK LLC is the general partner of CRK II. ESL is the managing member of CRK LLC. Mr. Lampert is a controlling stockholder of ESL and a director and Chairman of the Board of Kmart Holding Corporation.
