INFORMATION REGARDING SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement 333-4521 (the
"Registration Statement") is filed in accordance with the undertakings of The
Toro Company (the "Company") contained in Item 17 to the Registration Statement.
The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is to amend the Selling
Stockholders table set forth pursuant to Item 7 of the Registration Statement to
reflect the transfer of shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share and
related Preferred Share Purchase Rights (the "Shares") from individuals
originally set forth on the table to individuals not originally owning any
Shares. Effective as of December 31, 1996 Sue Jennings and Cynthia H. Love each
transferred 275 Shares to Amber Joy Love and 275 Shares to Joshua Levi Love.
Effective as of January 1, 1997 Sue Jennings and Cynthia H. Love each
transferred 275 Shares to Amber Joy Love and 275 Shares to Joshua Levi Love.
Amber Joy Love's Shares are beneficially owned by Cynthia H. Love as custodian
for Amber Joy Love because Amber Joy Love is a minor.
Sue Jennings originally was issued 11,925 Shares which were subject to the
Registration Statement. Giving effect to the transfers described above that
amount is reduced to 10,825 Shares. Cynthia H. Love originally was issued 27,747
Shares which were subject to the Registration Statement. The transfers described
above do not change such amount, however, 1,100 of such Shares are held as
custodian by Cynthia H. Love for Amber Joy Love. Joshua Levi Love owns 1,100
Shares after giving effect to the transfers described above. The following table
sets forth the Selling Stockholders table as amended to give effect to the
transfers described above.
