* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Represents the net issuance of shares in connection with the vesting of 100 Performance Share Units originally awarded pursuant to a Performance Share Units Notice dated October 2, 2013, the terms of which provide that 100 PSUs granted thereunder shall vest upon satisfaction of the performance goals set forth therein for fiscal year 2017. Upon their vesting, the PSUs granted pursuant to the October 2013 award were originally issueable as shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company. The reporting person has previously provided a standing instruction to convert the issueable Class B Shares to Class A Shares upon their issuance. Shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company are convertible to shares of Class A Common Stock upon the written election of the shareholder and otherwise in accordance with the Company's charter. In connection with the PSUs' vesting, 25 shares were withheld to satisfy the reporting person's withholding tax obligations. This amount was determined based upon the closing price on the date immediately prior to the vesting date of $13.75/per share of Class A Common Stock as traded on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange.
(2) These options are fully vested and exercisable immediately.
