        <footnote id="F1">Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock. The Restricted stock unit was granted to the reporting person in satisification of certain performance criteria being met for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The restricted stock units vest equally over a three year period beginning on October 26, 2018. All directors have elected to defer receipt of the shares until they are no longer on the board.  Any unvested restricted stock units will vest immediately upon the director leaving the board.</footnote>
