        <footnote id="F1">Of the 1,667 deferred stock units (&quot;DSUs&quot;) that were eligible to vest on January 6, 2020, the Reporting Person elected to vest all such DSUs on January 6, 2020 and not roll any such DSUs to the next vesting date on January 5, 2021.  The Reporting Person received one share of Class B Common Stock for each DSU that he elected to vest (100%) because the market price for the Company's Class B common stock on the vesting date was $7.12, which exceeded the grant date fair market value of $6.51 and was less than the next threshold of $7.32, which would have vested 112.5% of the DSUs instead of 100%.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Consists of 1,667 fully vested shares of  Class B Common Stock issued upon the conversion of DSUs.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Represents shares withheld by the Issuer for tax purposes upon the vesting of DSUs.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Consists of 1,070 fully vested shares of  Class B Common Stock issued upon the conversion of DSUs.</footnote>
