| Remarks: The reporting person is a manager of The Price Group, LLC, a California limited liaiblity company ("Price Group"). In addition, certain entities controlled by the reporting person are members of Price Group. On May 1, 2006, such entities purchased, in the aggregate, an additional 1.16% membership interest in Price Group. Such purchase could be deemed to be an indirect acquisition by such entities of an additional 1.16% (or approximately 85,705 shares) of the 7,388,369 shares of PriceSmart, Inc. common stock ("PriceSmart Common Stock") presently held by Price Group. Price Group presently holds other assets besides PriceSmart Common Stock. Such entities paid a single, unitary purchase price for such additional membership interest in Price Group and have not attempted to apportion such purchase price among the assets held by Price Group. As a result, the reporting person does not know the exact price at which such entities could be deemed to have acquired such 85,705 shares of PriceSmart Common Stock. For purposes of this Form 4, the reporting person has used $9.26, which is the closing price quoted by NASDAQ for PriceSmart Common Stock as of the close of trading on May 1, 2006, as an estimate of the price at which such entities could be deemed to have acquired such 85,705 shares of PriceSmart Common Stock. Such estimate is an estimate only and is not intended to be dispositive. | |
