Explanation of Responses:

1. The number of performance share units ("PSU's") that vested was based on the Company's achieving adjusted earnings per share growth rate for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. The actual performance of 29.1% yielded an award of 200% of target; including the reinvestment of dividends paid during such period, the award is 202.0% of target.

2. The number of PSU's that vested was based on the Company's achieving relative total shareholder returns for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020, compared to a defined peer group of companies. The Company's performance ranked in the 79th percentile of that group, yielding an award of 163.2%; including the reinvestment of dividends paid during such period, the award is 164.79% of target.

3. Shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations in connection with vesting of PSU's.

4. Each PSU reflects the contingent right to receive a variable number of shares of capital stock based on achieving performance goals. PSU's were settled in shares on their scheduled vesting date as determined by the Compensation Committee.

5. PSU's vest based on the extent to which the Company achieves certain performance targets over a period of January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The determination of the performance level is to be made by March 15, 2021 and earned shares delivered thereafter.

6. Each performance stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Chemed Capital Stock

7. Performance stock units vest based on the extent to which the Company achieves certain performance targets over a performance period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. The determination of the performance level is to be made by March 15, 2024 and earned shares to be delivered thereafter.
