An aggregate of 45,756,084 shares of Common Stock may be offered or issued pursuant
to the Registrant's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2004 Plan"), 18,137,330 (split adjusted through
the date of this filing) of which were previously registered on Form S-8 (File No. 333-120882), and
27,618,754 of which are registered on this Registration Statement. Of the 27,618,754 shares to be
registered under this Registration Statement for the 2004 Plan, (i) 398 shares were previously
registered for offer or sale under the Registrant's 1990 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1990 Plan"),
(ii) 1,556,652 shares were previously registered for offer or sale under the Registrant's 1993
Stock Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan"), (iii) 5,223,285 shares were previously registered for offer
or sale under the Registrant's 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan"), (iv) 7,280,383 shares
were previously registered for offer or sale under the Registrant's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the
"2001 Plan") (the shares specified in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) are split adjusted through the date of this filing and are hereafter collectively
referred to in this Registration Statement as the "Carried Forward Shares"), and (v) the balance
are newly registered shares. The Carried Forward Shares are shares with respect to which awards
were forfeited, expired, canceled or settled in cash without delivery of shares of Common Stock,
shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations in
connection with awards, and shares that were forfeited back to the Registrant after delivery
because of the failure to meet an award contingency or condition, under the 1990, 1993, 1996 and
2001 Plans (collectively, the "Prior Plans") on or after October 31, 2004. The newly registered
shares include shares reacquired by the Registrant on the open market or otherwise using cash
proceeds received by the Registrant from the exercise of stock options granted under the 2004 Plan
or any of the Prior Plans.
(2)
Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and
(h) under the Securities Act. The proposed maximum offering price per share, proposed maximum
aggregate offering price and the amount of the registration fee are based on the average of the
high and low prices of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. Common Stock reported on the Nasdaq National
Market on June 3, 2010 (i.e., $49.44).
(3)
The Carried Forward Shares with respect to the 1990 Plan were registered pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on November 1, 1990 (file no. 33-37573). The Carried
Forward Shares with respect to the 1993 Plan were registered pursuant to the registration statement
on Form S-8 filed on December 3, 1993 (file no. 33-72568). The Carried Forward Shares with respect
to the 1996 Plan were registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-8 filed on
January 24, 1997 (file no. 333-20333). The Carried Forward Shares with respect to the 2001 Plan
were registered pursuant to the registration statements on Form S-8 filed on April 27, 2001 (file
no. 333-59714) and on December 1, 2004 (file no. 333-120883). Pursuant to Interpretation 89 under
Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of
Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (July 1997) and Instruction E to the
General Instructions to Form S-8, the Registrant has carried forward the registration fees
previously paid for the Carried Forward Shares. The Registrant is concurrently filing a
Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (file no. 33-37573),
Post-Effective Amendments No. 4 to the Registration Statements on Form S-8 (file nos. 33-72568 and

no. 333-59714 and 333-120883) to reflect the carry forward of shares registered thereunder to this
Registration Statement.
