Explanation of Responses:
(1)
On September 10, 2002, Mr. Morgan entered into a Rule 10b5-1 qualified trading plan that authorized a third party broker to enter
into one or more five-year prepaid forward sale arrangements for up to 450,000 shares of Acxiom Corporation ("Acxiom") common stock.
Pursuant to the trading plan and in order to establish the terms of a pre-paid variable equity trading contract for an initial
tranche of 150,000 shares, the broker sold 55,500 shares of Acxiom common stock at $19.1327 per share on September 10, 2002 and
94,500 shares of Acxiom common stock at $19.1288 per share on September 11, 2002, for an average sale price of $19.1302. On
September 12, 2002, the broker delivered to Mr. Morgan written confirmation of these trades and the terms of the resulting pre-paid
variable equity forward contract for this tranche of 150,000 shares.
On or about September 17, 2002, Mr. Morgan will receive cash payments in the amount per share equal to $13.7431 for the 150,000
shares of Acxiom common stock related to the contract. In exchange for these payments, Mr. Morgan has agreed to deliver a number of
shares of Acxiom common stock at the expiration date of the contract (or on an earlier date, if the contract is terminated early)
pursuant to the following formula: (i) if the price of common stock on the date of expiration or termination (the "Final Price") is
less than a specified floor price of $17.2172 per share (the "Floor Price"), then 150,000 shares; (ii) if the Final Price is less
than or equal to a specified maximum price of $34.6257 per share (the "Cap Price"), but greater than or equal to the Floor Price,
then a number of shares equal to 150,000 times the Floor Price divided by the Final Price; (iii) if the Final Price is greater than
the Cap Price, then a number of shares equal to 150,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Floor
Price and the difference between the Final Price and the Cap Price, and the denominator of which is the Final Price. The contract
has a scheduled expiration date of September 11, 2007.
In lieu of the delivery of the shares, Mr. Morgan may, at his option, settle the contract by the delivery of cash. In certain
events Mr. Morgan is obligated to settle the contract by delivery of cash.
