Explanation of Responses: |
1. On July 7, 2008, the reporting person transferred voting trust certificates representing 2,309 Special Common shares to his spouse (through grantor retained annuity trusts). The reporting person previously reported all securities held by his spouse (directly and through a grantor retained annuity trust). Accordingly, the transfer of voting trust certificates did not result in any change in the number of securities reported as beneficially owned by the reporting person. Nevertheless, reporting person is voluntarily reporting the transfer of such voting trust certificates. |
2. Reporting person is one of four trustees which is record owner of these shares which files its holdings on forms 4. Of these Special Common shares, 83959.846 (including 16493.846 acquired in dividend reinvestment) are held as custodian for children and 13415.946 (including 1144.946160 acquired in dividend reinvestment) are held by spouse, and 684960.4225 (including 14963.4225 acquired in dividend reinvestment) shares are held by a family partnership of which reporting person is a general partner. Of the remaining shares, 0.878 were earned pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan. Reporting person's GRAT own 513,154 and wife's GRAT owns 320,410. Reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of shares owned by wife and as custodian for children. |
