Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	In connection with the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares in the secondary offering of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of GNC Holdings, Inc. (the "Issuer"), in which Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("OTPP") was a selling stockholder.
(2)	This amount represents the $24.75 secondary offering price, less the underwriting discount and commissions of $0.99 per share of Class A common stock.
(3)	The reported securities are owned by OTPP. Each of Mr. Andrew Claerhout, Mr. Romeo Leemrijse, and Mr. Roman Duch may be deemed to have power to dispose of the shares held by OTPP because of a delegation of authority from the Board of Directors of OTPP, and each expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
(4)	The Issuer converted 1,517,370 shares of the Issuer's Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, held by OTPP, into an equal number of shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
