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 change in investment options under the Huttig Building Products, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), as of March 31, 2008 the value of each participant's account, including the value of phantom stock units, was transferred to new investment choices. Effective as of March 31, 2008, phantom stock units were no longer available as an investment option under the Plan.
(2) The reporting person did not purchase or sell any shares of common stock in the settlement of the shares. The SEC has taken the position that the cash settlement of phantom stock is reportable on Form 4 in both Table II (as a disposition of the phantom stock derivative security) and Table I (on two lines) as a deemed acquisition and simultaneous disposition of the underlying stock on which the value of the settlement is based. Accordingly, the amounts shown in Table I are reported to comply with the SEC's reporting principles and do not represent actual purchases or sales of shares of common stock.
(3) Phantom stock units representing contributions made under the Huttig Building Products, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan credited to the reporting person's account as of the date of deferral of compensation.
(4) 1-for-1
