In addition, if shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred to any persons other than a "Permitted Transferee" (as defined in the Issuer's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation), such shares are automatically converted on a share-for-share basis into shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer have the same attributes as shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer except that each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on all matters upon which Shareholders have a right to vote and each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on such matters. If all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, Ms. Wolters would be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1.39% of the Class A Common Stock. The shares reported in this Item 4 exclude 800,000 shares held by the Mary and Robert Pew Education Fund of which Ms. Wolters serves as one of seven trustees; Ms. Wolters disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to these shares.
