(1) Class A Common Stock is convertible at any time on a one-for-one basis into Class B Common Stock with no expiration date.
(2) Pursuant to Company policy, market transactions in Company stock by officers and directors are permitted only after the second full trading day after the release of quarterly earnings and ending on the last day of the second month of the following fiscal quarter, except pursuant to approved 10b5-1 trading plans.
(3) On January 25, 2016, a disbursement of Class A Common Stock was made by the Trustee of the Philip H. Knight 2013 Annuity Trust N13-III and the Philip H. Knight 2014 Annuity Trust N14-I to the reporting person as follows: (i) 3,687,089 shares of Class A Common Stock from the Trustee of the Philip H. Knight 2013 Annuity Trust N13-III to Philip H. Knight; and (ii) 4,544,084 shares of Class A Common Stock from the Trustee of the Philip H. Knight 2014 Annuity Trust N14-I to Philip H. Knight. Each trust is a grantor retained annuity trust ("GRAT").
(4) On January 26, 2016, a disbursement of 1,991,281 shares of Class A Common Stock was made by the Trustee of the Philip H. Knight 2009 Annuity Trust N3 to the reporting person.

(5) Shares are held by Swoosh, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Swoosh"), which is managed by a board of directors consisting of five board seats (the "Swoosh Board").
