Explanation of Responses:
1. Shares held by SBH Trust dated March 10, 2020, of which Reporting Person is Trustee.
2. This Form 4 reports the Reporting Person's conversion on November 12, 2024 of 3,000 shares of Class B Common Stock indirectly held by the SBH Trust dated March 10, 2023 (the "SBH Trust") into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock and the Reporting Person's November 27, 2024 gift disposition of such shares of Class A Common Stock. The Reporting Person filed an intervening Form 4 on November 26, 2024, which includes as then held the 3,000 shares of Class B Common Stock previously converted. The amount reported in Column 5 of Table 1 and Column 9 of Table II represents the number of Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively, held indirectly by the SBH Trust as of the date of this report.
3. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Reporting Person into one share of Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. Each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock in connection with: (i) any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers further described in the Issuer's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (ii) such time as the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding ceases to represent 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and (iii) the death of the Reporting Person.
