(1)	The underlying Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") were granted in a transaction exempt under Rule 16b.
(2)	As previously reported, on May 8, 2014, the reporting person was granted 2,508 RSUs.

(3)	The underlying RSUs vest ratably over the one year following the grant date and convert into an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock at such time as the grantee ceases to be a member of Hexcel's Board. Vesting and conversion are subject to certain acceleration and termination provisions.
(4)	As previously reported, on May 7, 2016, the reporting person was granted 2,169 RSUs. Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to the unvested RSUs when and as dividends are paid on Hexcel common stock.
