(2)	Represents units of ownership as a participant in the VF Common Stock Fund of the Executive Deferred Savings Plans to be settled 100% in cash upon reporting person's retirement or on specified dates thereafter.

(3)	Column 2 should have an entry which reads "1 for 1".
(4)	There is no date that should appear in these columns. These columns are not applicable to this particular filing.
(5)	Represents units of ownership as a participant in the VF Common Stock Fund of the Executive Deferred Savings Plans to be settled 100% in cash upon reporting person's retirement or on specified dates thereafter.

Each PSU was acquired at the election of the Officer by deferring $57.11 (estimated) of fees per PSU.
