* Notes:

Required votes. For Proposal 1, as required by Valero's bylaws, each director is to be elected by a majority of votes cast with respect to that director's election. Proposals 2, 3 and 4 required approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote.

Effect of abstentions. Shares voted to abstain are treated as "present" for purposes of determining a quorum. In the election of directors (Proposal 1), pursuant to Valero's bylaws, shares voted to abstain are not deemed to be "votes cast," and are accordingly disregarded. When, however, approval for a proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote (Proposals 2, 3 and 4), then shares voted to abstain have the effect of a negative vote.

Effect of broker non-votes. Brokers holding shares for the beneficial owners of such shares must vote according to specific instructions received from the beneficial owners. If instructions are not received, in some instances (e.g., for Proposal 2), a broker may nevertheless vote the shares in the broker's discretion. Under New York Stock Exchange rules, brokers are precluded from exercising voting discretion on certain proposals without specific instructions from the beneficial owner (Proposals 1, 3 and 4). This results in a "broker non-vote" on the proposal. A broker non-vote is treated as "present" for purposes of determining a quorum, has the effect of a negative vote when approval for a particular proposal requires the affirmative vote of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Valero, and has no effect when approval for a proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote or a plurality or majority of the votes cast.
