Under these trusts, the reporting person has no ability to vote or direct the disposition of the shares; however, the reporting person can prevent any disposition of these shares by the independent trus tees. The number of shares reported above includes 18,022,083 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer which are immediately convertible into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder. 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 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, Mr. Wege may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 16.1% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.

Item 5.	Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class. Not Applicable

Item 6.	Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.
