<PAGE>
CUSIP NO. 147 5281 03 SCHEDULE 13G Page 7 of 12 Pages
trustee of Casey's ESOP. Casey's ESOP participants exercise voting
and certain dispositive powers over Casey's ESOP shares allocated to their
accounts as they have the right to direct the voting of such shares and the
tendering of such shares in response to a tender offer or other purchase
offer. To the extent that participants in Casey's ESOP do not give voting
instructions to UMB, as trustee of Casey's ESOP, such shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock held by Casey's ESOP are voted in the same proportions as shares
for which the trustee has received instructions. Certain shares of Issuer's
Common Stock held by Casey's ESOP are allocated to the accounts of the
participants in the plan, and beneficial ownership is disclaimed as to those
shares. Any unallocated Casey's ESOP shares are to be voted by the trustee of
Casey's ESOP in the same proportion as allocated shares. The shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock held by Casey's ESOP that are allocated to
participants' accounts are disposed of in response to a tender offer, exchange
offer, or other offer to purchase at the direction of the participants, but if
disposition instructions with respect to such an offer are not given by the
participants in Casey's ESOP to UMB, as trustee, such shares will not be
tendered. UMB, as trustee of Casey's ESOP, will dispose of all unallocated
shares in response to a tender or other offer in the same proportion as
shares for which the trustee has received instructions.
Therefore, Casey's ESOP may be deemed to beneficially own shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock as follows:
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 1,942,484. Beneficial ownership is
disclaimed as to all shares which are allocated to the accounts of
participants under Casey's ESOP.
