(1)	On 4/26/05, the reporting person received a target award of 1,722 performance shares (the "Award"). Under the terms of the Award, the reporting person would be entitled to receive a number of shares of Chubb common stock ("Common Stock") equal to the target award multiplied by a performance multiplier ranging from 0% to 200% depending on Chubb's relative stock performance compared to other companies in the S&P 500 Index that continued to file public reports during the period from 1/1/05 through 12/31/07. At the time of the Award, the reporting person reported receipt of performance shares representing 3,444 shares of Common Stock which was maximum number of shares payable under the Award. On 2/6/08, the performance multiplier for the Award was determined to be 136.6%, which resulted in an issuance to the reporting person of 2,352 shares of Common Stock. All share numbers adjusted for 2-for-1 split.
