Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents shares purchased pursuant to a broker-assisted dividend reinvestment program.
2. The number of shares reported as owned by the Julia Stewart Trust (the "Trust") immediately following this transaction reflects the number of shares beneficially owned by the Trust as of the date of this filing immediately after giving effect to this transaction. Because this transaction was not previously reported, the 44 shares owned by the Trust were not included in prior Forms 4. In addition, in prior Forms 4, 24,800 shares owned directly by the reporting person were inadvertently reported as owned by the Trust.
3. On August 27, 2007, the reporting person was granted 27,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the DineEquity 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (formerly known as the IHOP Corp. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan). The grant agreement provided that the shares would vest according to the following schedule after the closing date of the Applebee's acquisition: (i) 25% 6 months following the closing date; (ii) 25% 12 months following the closing date; and (iii) the remaining 50% 24 months following the closing date. On November 29, 2009, the restrictions lapsed with respect to these shares.
4. The number of shares reported as directly owned by the reporting person immediately following this transaction has been adjusted to reflect the number of shares of common stock and restricted stock owned directly by the reporting person. In prior Forms 4, (i) 24,800 shares owned directly by the reporting person were inadvertently reported as owned by the Trust and (ii) restricted stock share ownership amounts were inadvertently reported as derivative securities in Table II. In all future Form 4 filings, the reporting person will account for, and report, grants of restricted stock in Table I.
5. These shares were withheld by the Issuer to satisfy the tax withholding obligations of the reporting person with respect to the vesting on November 29, 2009 of 13,500 shares of restricted stock held by the reporting person.
6. These shares are held in the DineEquity, Inc. 401(k) plan.
