On February 25, 2009,  Brown-Forman  Corporation (the "Company") filed a Current

will assume the new position of Executive  Vice  President  for Global  Business
Development  and Mark I. McCallum will move into the position of Executive  Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer.

On March 25, 2009, the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company  approved  certain  components  of Mr.  Bareuther's  and Mr.  McCallum's
compensation  for the  Company's  2010 fiscal year.  Specifically  the Committee
determined that, effective May 1, 2009:  (1) Mr. Bareuther's long-term incentive
compensation at target will be $124,500,  and (2) McCallum's base salary will be
$546,563 and long-term  incentive  compensation at target will be $625,000.  The
remaining  elements of their fiscal 2010 compensation have not been approved and
