Explanation of responses
- F1This transaction reflects the conversion of restricted stock units into Class A Common Shares.
- F2The terms of this long-term incentive award mandate that the Company withhold shares to satisfy the reporting person's tax obligation.
- F3Forty percent of the units awarded in 2016 were contingent on performance measures. Because the company did not meet these measures, the subject units did not vest and were forfeited under terms of the award.
- F4This restricted stock unit award will vest in equal parts in 2017 and 2018. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common Share of the Company.
