Remarks:

The Smith Family Trusts (the "Reporting Person") consisted of certain former shareholders of Smith Investment Company, a Nevada corporation ("SICO"), that held shares of A. O. Smith Corporation (the "Issuer"). On April 22, 2009, SICO merged with a subsidiary of the Issuer; in that transaction, outstanding shares of SICO common stock were converted into shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. The shareholders that comprised the Reporting Person were certain individual members of the Smith family and trusts for the benefit of certain members of the Smith family. On December 10, 2008, the Reporting Person filed a Schedule 13D/A related to the Issuer's Common Stock pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The collective beneficial ownership of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act exceeded 10% of the Issuer's Common Stock. The Reporting Person disbanded as a group upon consummation of the Merger. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by SICO and also disclaims that the Reporting Person constituted a "group" pursuant to Section 13(d).
