Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents the regular quarterly crediting of vested Restricted Share Units with a fair market value equal to the amount of cash dividends in such quarter attributable to previously vested Restricted Share Units, the settlement of which the Reporting Person elected to defer pursuant to the Issuer's deferred compensation arrangement for directors. On September 29, 2023, the last business day preceding October 1, 2023, the closing price of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market was $12.90 per share.
2. Reporting Person has elected to defer payment of Board/Committee fees, as applicable, pursuant to the Issuer's deferred compensation arrangement for directors. Deferred amounts (as well as any cash dividends credited to the account during the previous quarter) are deemed invested at the beginning of each calendar quarter into Phantom Class A Common Stock Units and Phantom Class B Common Stock Units based on the closing market price of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as applicable, on the day of the deemed investment, or, if that day is not a business day, on the last preceding business day. The cash value of the Phantom Common Stock Units is paid out after the Reporting Person's retirement from the Board.
