As of February 14, 2018, the Reporting Person was the direct beneficial owner of 1,549,838 shares of Class A Common Stock and zero shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.1 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), which represents 0.7% of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of January 26, 2018, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC by the Issuer on February 2, 2018).

The responses of the Reporting Person to (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover page of this Amendment No. 2and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof, as of February 14, 2018, are incorporated herein by reference. LAL and JSE, as co-trustees of the LAL 2013 Revocable Trust, may be deemed to have shared power to vote or dispose, or direct the vote or disposition, of the shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned by the Reporting Person. In addition, LAL also may be deemed to have power to vote or dispose, or direct the vote or disposition, of the Class A Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person because LAL can revoke the LAL 2013 Revocable Trust with respect to the shares and receive them as a distribution.
