F1Pursuant 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.
F2Additional phantom shares allocated to the reporting person's account on account of the spin-off of the issuer's newspaper business on April 1, 2015
F3This amendment is to report the additional options allocated to the reporting person's account on account of the spin-off of the issuer's newspaper business on April 1, 2015.
F4This 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.
