Explanation of Responses:

1. Convertible, on a share-for-share basis, into Class A Common Stock.

2. Option granted pursuant to Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan as incentive to remain in employ of Company.

3. Fully exercisable.

4. Option granted pursuant to Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan as incentive to remain in employ of Company.

5. Option granted in an exempt transaction as incentive to remain in employ of Company.

6. The option is not exercisable unless the market price of Class A Common Stock reaches $48 per share while the optionee is employed by the Company or a subsidiary. When the target price is achieved, the option becomes exercisable as to a number of shares determined by multiplying 25,000 times the number of full years that have elapsed since the grant date. Thereafter, the option becomes exercisable as to an additional 25,000 shares on each anniversary of the grant date while the optionee remains an employee. In the event of termination of the optionee's employment, the option terminates as to all shares as to which it is not then exercisable, except that, in the case of voluntary termination after age 62, death, disability or involuntary termination, if the target price has been achieved prior to such termination, the option becomes exercisable, immediately prior to such termination, as to one-half of the shares as to which it is not then exercisable.

7. Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Albany International Corp. 2003 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "Restricted Stock Unit Plan"). Each Restricted Stock Unit entitles the holder to receive the cash equivalent of one share of Class A Common Stock at the time of vesting or, in the event that the holder elects to defer payment, at such later time elected in accordance with the Restricted Stock Unit Plan.

8. 1,500 Restricted Stock Units (plus related dividend units) vest on each November 13, beginning November 13, 2004.

9. 1,500 Restricted Stock Units (plus related dividend units) vest on each November 11, beginning November 11, 2005.
