        <footnote id="F1">These performance-based restricted stock units (&quot;PRSUs&quot;) were granted on June 6, 2016, but were conditional upon the Issuer satisfying certain performance criteria over the three fiscal year period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 (the &quot;Performance Period&quot;). On February 22, 2019, 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.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This reported transaction represents vested PRSUs that have been settled in Class A common shares.  Vested PRSUs are settled in Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This reported transaction represents shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the settlement of vested PRSUs that settled in Class A common shares.</footnote>
