| (1)    | Mr. Heidtbrink was a GMO employee prior to its acquisition by Great Plains Energy in 2008. Mr. Heidtbrink ceased accruing benefits under the GMO pension plan as of the acquisition date, and started accruing benefits under the Pension Plan and SERP. The years of credited service shown for him reflect service under these latter plans; however, the present value of accumulated benefits shown for the management pension plan reflects both his frozen GMO pension plan benefit and his Pension Plan benefit. Mr. Heidtbrink retired from the Company effective May 1, 2017, and is no longer eligible for benefits under the SERP. |

| (4) | Because the NEOs are “specified employees” under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, payments triggered by a separation from service are delayed to the first business day of the seventh month after the month in which separation from service occurs. Thus, the amounts shown for them reflect their DCP account balances as of December 31, 2017, plus interest on the balances to the July 1, 2018 payment date for those portions to be paid as of the date of separation from service. Messrs. Bryant and Caisley had no deferred compensation as of December 31, 2017. |

| (5) | All of our NEOs included in this table have elected to have their SERP benefits paid in a lump sum upon separation from service. The amounts shown on this line reflect the benefits payable under the SERP as of a July 1, 2018 payment date, reflecting the required Section 409A delay; the additional benefit arising from additional years of service credited upon a Change in Control is provided on the next line. |

| (10) | Because these officers’ Change in Control Agreements were entered into before August 2013, they provide for an additional payment to cover excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 280G gross-up payments”). We have calculated these payments based on the estimated payments discussed above. In calculating these payments, we did not make any reductions for the value of reasonable compensation for pre-Change in Control period and post-Change in Control period service, such as the value attributed to non-compete provisions. In the event that payments are due under Change in Control Agreements, we would perform evaluations to determine the reductions attributable to these services. |
