Explanation of Responses:
1. The reporting person is no longer a shareholder of Beechmax, Inc. ("Beechmax"), the sole general partner of Comax Partners L.P. (d/b/a The Beechwood Company, L.P.) ("Comax"), and the reporting person does not have or share investment control over Comax's portfolio securities. The reporting person has a limited partnership interest in Comax. As such, the reporting person will no longer report an indirect interest in the shares of Federated Hermes, Inc. Class B Common Stock ("FHI") held by Comax.
2. On or around November 30, 2020, Comax made a distribution of shares of FHI to all of its limited partners on a pro-rata basis (the "Distribution"). The Distribution did not involve any public sale of shares. As a result of the Distribution, the number of shares of FHI directly owned by the reporting person increased by 286 shares.
3. As a result of the Distribution described in Footnote 2, the number of shares of FHI owned by The John F. Donahue and Rhodora J. Donahue Joint Revocable Trust (the "JF/RJD JR Trust"), in which the reporting person has an indirect interest, increased by 1,841 shares. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of FHI held by the JF/RJD JR Trust except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
