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)	The Reporting Person converted 250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock into the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
(2)	Shares held by the Wendell Reilly Family Irrevocable Trust (the "Trust"), of which the Reporting Person is the trustee and of which the Reporting Person's three children are beneficiaries.
(3)	The Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis and has no expiration date.
(4)	The Reporting Person is a General Partner of The Reilly Family Limited Partnership (the "RFLP"). The other General Partners of the RFLP are siblings of the Reporting Person. Kevin P. Reilly, Jr., the President and Chief Executive Officer of Lamar Advertising Company ("Lamar") and a sibling of the Reporting Person, is the Managing General Partner of the RFLP. The Managing General Partner of the RFLP exercises sole voting power over the shares held by the RFLP, but disposition of the shares requires the approval of 50% of the general partnership interests in the RFLP. The RFLP continues to hold 9,000,000 shares of Lamar's Class B Common Stock. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the RFLP except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
