(1) Represents the number of shares that were acquired upon conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock in connection with the net settlement of restricted stock units (the "RSUs") listed in Table II, based on the Issuer's fair market value per share on the close of the business day of the reported transaction, unless reported transaction falls on a non-business day, in which case the fair market value per share on the close of the prior business day is used. These shares were cancelled following such conversion to satisfy the tax withholding obligations of the Issuer.
(2) Represents the number of shares cancelled to cover tax withholding in connection with the net settlement of RSUs listed in Table II, based on the Issuer's fair market value per share on the close of the business day of the reported transaction, unless reported transaction falls on a non-business day, in which case the fair market value per share on the close of the prior business day is used.
(3) Not applicable.

Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into Class A Common Stock on the date on which the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock together represent less than 10% of the aggregate combined voting power of the Issuer's capital stock. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon (i) any transfer, whether or not for value, (subject to certain exceptions), or (ii) in the event of death of the Reporting Person.
(5) Represents shares that have been converted to Class A Common Stock and then cancelled to cover tax withholding in connection with the net settlement of RSUs, based on the Issuer's fair market value per share on the close of the business day of the reported transaction, unless reported transaction falls on a non-business day, in which case the fair market value per share on the close of the prior business day is used. The cancellation of the Class A Common Stock is listed in Table I.
