* 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) On March 20, 2008 (the "Execution Date"), the Reporting Person entered into a Prepaid Variable Forward Share Transaction (the "Transaction") with an unrelated third party ("Buyer") relating to 225,000 common shares of Urban Outfitters, Inc. (the "Reference Amount"). The Transaction will be settled on March 20, 2009. The Transaction specifies a "Forward Floor Price" of $30.6685 per share and a "Forward Cap Price" of $36.8022 per share. (Continued in Footnote 2)
(2) On the settlement date, the Reporting Person, unless he has elected cash settlement, will deliver to Buyer: (i) if the "Settlement Price" (the official closing per common share on the relevant settlement date) is less than or equal to the Forward Floor Price, a number of common shares equal to the Reference Amount; (ii) if the Settlement Price is above the Forward Floor Price but less than or equal to the Forward Cap Price, a number of common shares equal to (a) the Reference Amount multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Forward Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; or (iii) if the Settlement Price is above the Forward Cap Price, a number of common shares equal to (a) the Reference Amount multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Forward Floor Price plus the Settlement Price minus the Forward Cap Price, and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price. (Continued in Footnote 3)
(3) In lieu of delivering shares, the Reporting Person may elect cash settlement under the Transaction. The Reporting Person will receive a prepayment from the Buyer in the amount of $6,129,996.55 within three exchange business days following the Execution Date.
