        <footnote id="F1">These Class M-4 Prime common shares are exchangeable into Class A common shares, on a one-to-one basis, once vested and upon payment of the conversion price (which can be paid in cash or shares).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This reported transaction represents shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of Class M-4 Prime common shares. The price of derivative security represents the per share value of the Class M-4 Prime common shares used to calculate the number of shares withheld.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">One-third of these Class M-4 Prime common shares vest based on time, with such shares vesting ratably on each of the first five anniversaries of the February 15, 2016 vesting start date; one-third vest upon the trading price of the Class A common shares attaining a per-share volume weighted average closing trading price of $50 or more during any 120-day period (or upon a sale or change in control in which Class A common shares are valued at $50 or more); and one-third vest upon the trading price of the Class A common shares attaining a per-share volume weighted average closing trading price of $70 or more during any 120-day period (or upon a sale or change in control in which Class A common shares are valued at $70 or more).  Once vested, these Class M-4 Prime common shares have no expiration date and can be converted at the holder's election into Class A common shares at any time.  Any remaining unvested Class M-4 Prime common shares expire February 15, 2026.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">These performance-based restricted stock units (&quot;PRSUs&quot;) were granted on March 21, 2017, but were conditional upon the Issuer satisfying certain performance criteria over the three fiscal year period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 (the &quot;Performance Period&quot;). On February 18, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors determined the extent to which the Issuer met the performance goals for the Performance Period and the number of PRSUs that vested for the Reporting Person. Each PRSU represents a contingent right to receive one Class A common share of the Issuer. The PRSUs vested on January 15, 2019 and will be settled in Class A common shares within 90 days of the vesting date.</footnote>
