Explanation of responses
- F1This transaction reflects the conversion of restricted stock units into Class A Common Shares.
- F2Additional restricted stock units were allocated to the reporting person's account on account of the spin-off of the issuer's newspaper business on April 1, 2015.
- F3This restricted stock unit award will vest in 2016. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common Share of the Company.
- F4Pursuant to the company's 1997 Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors, directors may defer fees into a phantom stock fund. Under this plan, fees are allocated to a phantom shares account based on the fair market value of the company's Class A Common Shares on the last trading day of each preceding quarter. Balances are paid in either shares or cash at the time a director leaves the Board.
