(1) These shares were issued on June 1, 2016, in connection with a July 25, 2013 award of Class A common performance-based restricted stock. The award, initially determined as a cash value, was subject to a three-year performance period, which ended April 30, 2016. The number of shares issued was determined by multiplying the cash value of the award by a three-year performance adjustment factor, dividing the amount by $74.06, which is the closing price of the issuers Class A common stock on the date of the grant, and then adjusting upwards to account for dividends paid during the performance period.
(2) Number of shares acquired through the issuer's dividend reinvestment plan as of June 1, 2016.
