Explanation of Responses:

 

(1) Includes (i) 1,110 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Smith and (ii) 78,702 shares of Common Stock subject to exercisable options.

 

(2) Does not include 9,927,955 shares of Common Stock (including exercisable options to buy shares of Common Stock), with respect to Mr. Smith, or 10,007,767 shares of Common Stock, with respect to each of Mrs. Smith and Four Smiths’ Company, Ltd., owned by certain stockholders of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “Issuer”) who are parties to the Stockholders’ Agreement dated October 17, 1997 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, certain stockholders of the Issuer have agreed to vote shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer held by each of them for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors proposed by each of (i) Larry E. Reimert and Reimert Family Partners, Ltd., (ii) Gary D. Smith and Four Smiths’ Company, Ltd. and (iii) J. Mike Walker. The parties to the Stockholders’ Agreement may be deemed to have formed a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any such group could be deemed to have beneficial ownership, for purposes of Section 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act, of all equity securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by such parties. Such parties would, as of the date hereof, be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 14,007,767 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 34% of the total number of shares outstanding, based on 40,357,656 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2006, plus the shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each of Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith and Four Smiths’ Company, Ltd. disclaims the beneficial ownership of any Common Stock owned by such other parties, except to the extent they may be deemed beneficial owners of such Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) and 13(g) as described above.

 

(3) Includes 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Four Smiths’ Company, Ltd., as to which each of Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, as its managing general partners, exercise shared voting and dispositive power. Because each of Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith exercise shared voting and dispositive power with respect to these shares, they may be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of these shares for purposes of Rule 13d-3.
