<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May&nbsp;18, 2011, Thomas C. Roberts, a member of the company&#146;s Board of Directors, entered into
a prearranged trading plan to sell 15,000 shares of the company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Non-Voting Common Stock
in one or more open market transactions between June&nbsp;24, 2011 and November&nbsp;25, 2011. These shares
will be acquired by Mr.&nbsp;Roberts pursuant to the exercise of currently vested stock options. This
plan was designed to comply with Rule&nbsp;10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
company&#146;s policies regarding stock transactions. Mr.&nbsp;Roberts has informed the company that these
sales are part of his personal program for long-term asset diversification and tax and financial
planning.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Rule&nbsp;10b5-1 permits persons who may be considered company insiders to establish written prearranged
stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, nonpublic information. The plans
establish predetermined trading parameters that do not permit the person adopting the plan to
exercise any subsequent influence over how, when or whether to effect trades. All sales under the
plans will be disclosed publicly through appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The information in this Item&nbsp;7.01 shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any
registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless
such subsequent filing specifically references this Current Report on Form 8-K.</DIV>
