        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person is eligible for retirement under the Company's RSU Retirement Policy, which is described in the Company's 2017 Proxy Statement. The performance conditions for certain Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (&quot;PRSUs&quot;) that were previously granted to the reporting person have been satisfied and such PRSUs have now become Restricted Stock Units (&quot;RSUs&quot;), which remain subject to all restrictive covenants and sales restrictions contained in the underlying award agreements until the original vesting dates set forth therein. As a result of the reporting person's retirement eligibility, the RSUs are subject to taxation and have been settled in the form of Restricted Class A Common Stock. The Restricted Class A Common Stock, excluding the portion that the reporting person is permitted to sell in order to pay the related taxes (in accordance with the applicable award agreements), will remain subject to all restrictive covenants as described above.</footnote>
