At a meeting held on April 3, 2012, the Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Constellation Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) took the following actions with regard to certain compensatory arrangements for certain of the Company’s senior management personnel, including its Executive Officers.

Approval of Fiscal 2013 Base Salaries

The Committee set annual base salaries, for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”), for the Company’s Executive Officers. The following table sets forth the annual base salary levels for Fiscal 2013 of those Executive Officers identified below:

Fiscal 2012 Incentive Awards

The Committee determined the amount to be paid in annual incentive awards under the Company’s Annual Management Incentive Plan (the “AMIP”) in accordance with its 2012 Fiscal Year Award Program for Executive Officers (the “2012 Program”). The following table sets forth the cash payments to those Executive Officers identified below with respect to their annual incentive awards under the 2012 Program:

Certification of Performance Results regarding Fiscal 2012 Performance Share Unit Awards

The Committee certified the achievement of Fiscal 2012 earnings per share performance sufficient for recipients of Fiscal 2012 Performance Share Unit awards (which were granted on April 5, 2011) to earn two times the target award level set forth in their respective Performance Share Unit Agreement. Each recipient’s award will vest if the recipient remains in continuous employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries until May 1, 2014 ⁽¹⁾. On that date each Executive Officer would earn the respective amount of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as constitutes two times the individual’s target award level pursuant to his respective Performance Share Unit Agreement. The following table sets forth the amounts of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to be earned on May 1, 2014 by those Executive Officers identified below:

Stock Option Awards

The Committee granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class 1 Common Stock under the Company’s Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) to certain of the Company’s

management personnel, including its Executive Officers, subject to the Terms and Conditions Memorandum with respect to the Stock Plan, the form of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The following table sets forth information regarding grants to those Executive Officers identified below:

Restricted Stock Unit Grants

The Committee granted restricted stock units under the Stock Plan to certain of the Company’s management personnel, including its Executive Officers, subject to the provisions of Restricted Stock Unit Agreements, the form of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. The restricted stock units entitle the grantee to receive a single share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each restricted stock unit granted under the Stock Plan. On April 3, 2012, which was the date of the restricted stock unit grants, the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $24.50 per share. The following table sets forth information regarding grants to those Executive Officers identified below:

Performance Share Unit Awards

The Committee awarded performance share units to be settled in the Company’s Class A Common Stock under the Stock Plan to certain of the Company’s management personnel, including its Executive Officers, subject to the provisions of Performance Share Unit Agreements, the form of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the performance share units will depend upon the Company’s Relative Stockholder Return (as that term is defined in the Performance Share Unit Agreement) during the period from March 1, 2012 through February 28, 2015. On April 3, 2012, which was the date of the performance share unit awards, the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $24.50 per share. The following table sets forth information regarding target awards to those Executive Officers identified below:

Criteria for 2013 Fiscal Year Incentive Award

The Committee adopted the 2013 Fiscal Year Award Program for Executive Officers (the “2013 Program for Executive Officers”), thereby establishing the performance criteria and bonus opportunity under the Company’s Annual Management Incentive Plan, as amended (the “AMIP”), for Fiscal 2013. Pursuant to the 2013 Program for Executive Officers, potential incentive awards for Fiscal 2013, if any, will equal 0.5% of the Company’s “Earnings Before Interest and Taxes” for each of Richard Sands and Robert Sands and 0.25% of “Earnings Before Interest and Taxes” for each other executive officer, all as calculated under the AMIP and the 2013 Program for Executive Officers and measured for the period from March 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013. The Committee reserves the right to exercise its negative discretion at the end of Fiscal 2013 to reduce the amounts calculated in the preceding sentence to a bonus payment for each of the Company’s executive officers that the Committee believes to be appropriate based on such quantitative and qualitative factors as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to the Company’s performance.
